In this episode of Nice One Cyril, Simon, Julie and Dave pick through a thoroughly deflating defeat at Nottingham Forest — just when Spurs looked like they might be improving. We ask what went wrong, whether Vicario’s form (and alleged Inter interest) is becoming a problem, and why there’s still…
No matches this week, no defeats — which already feels like progress. In this Extra Time edition, Simon Lipson and Kevin Acott wander off the touchline and into the Spurs psyche. The moments you knew were coming and the ones you didn’t. The players we defended far longer than logic…
Two red cards, a rogue referee and just enough fight to leave us feeling… optimistic? We talk Thomas's tactics before and after the chaos, Kudus hitting the wall, Vand de Ven breaking things and Romero being Romero. There’s anxiety about Palace, questions over Brennan, rumours flying, obscure player google searches…
In this episode of Nice One Cyril, Simon Lipson and Kevin Acott dive into the madness of the ITK economy (Fabrizio says…what?), ask what “Big Club” actually means and whether Spurs really count, and confess whether we’ve ever judged a new Spurs player after one touch. Plus quick predictions for…
Kevin and Simon discuss our sparkling performance against Brentford. Is Thomas Frank just trying not to lose? Will that save his job? Bilbao hero Brennan Johnson is on his way? Was he good enough? Did we play him out of position? What did his babysitter think of him? Who broke…
We’re dissecting the Jekyll & Hyde draw with Sunderland—from a decent first half to a second-half retreat so deep we nearly ended up in the stand. Inside the episode: • Tactical Hostages: Why does Thomas Frank treat a 1-0 lead like a ticking bomb? We discuss the inevitability of the…
Simon and Kevin discuss: Another horrible capitulation to Bournemouth , Cupgate, players confronting the fans and the captain aiming a broadside at the hierarchy. Thomas continues to struggle - what's he trying to do? Do we stick or twist? Do we expect to be mediocre? Does that expectation sum up…
Another home defeat, another first half we’d all like to forget. But...a much better second half against a good Villa team, which raises an awkward question: if we’re happy to blame Thomas Frank when it’s bad, do we give him credit when it improves? Simon, Julie, Kevin and Barry talk…
Kev and Simon chat about Gallagher, sift through the latest transfer noise, the club’s ever-expanding executive org chart, and ask why Ange’s name still won’t go away. Also, who gives a toss about Gary of Harlow's wet dream Spurs line-up? Kev, as it turns out. Plus, would defeat to West…
We're thrilled to welcome Mike Leigh from the brilliant Spurs Show podcast to Nice One Cyril. He and Simon Lipson discuss: - The Dortmund miracle - Muani downing tools - Thomas Frank's gabbling - Transfers - Burnley And lots more besides. #COYS #THFC
Burnley: missed chance or gritty point? Either way, we didn’t end their miserable run, so… progress? We dig into the numbers (not boringly, promise) and explore whether our best attackers are also our biggest problem. Plus: Odobert shows promise, Tel gets messed about again and Gallagher’s written off before he’s…
Fourth in the CL table, above “tiddlers” like Real, Barça, City and PSG. Second-best defence, Flappy apparently the best keeper on earth. We examine the performance and ask whether this was progress or just another glorious one-off. Are Spurs going to suprise us before the window closes? And if so,…
The City game was a tale of two halves: pathetic to dynamic, chalk to cheese. Was the formation shift down to Thomas Frank’s genius or forced by injury? We break down the "moral courage" of Xavi Simons, praise 'man possessed' Palhinha and a veteran-style shift from Archie Gray, and look…
The window has slammed shut and Cuti Romero hasn't held back. We dive into the Captain’s "disgraceful" Instagram broadside. And we ask: What does Johan Lange actually do? Plus • The Vinai Era: Is the new CEO staying "on message," or just managing the decline? • Academy Paradox: Why are…
For 29 minutes, we actually looked a bit like a football team. Then Cuti Romero decided he’d seen enough. With Udogie hobbling off and the squad down to nine fit first-teamers (is that right, Cuti?) we’re officially in "looking over our shoulder" territory. Inevitably the Poch rumours are back. We…
So Frank has finally been given the chop. What took them so long, fucksake? In this hastily assembled but remarkably polished pod, Kev, Julie, Lee and Simon look into Frank's legacy (yeah, we know), what went wrong and ask where we go from here. And we've got some selection pointers…
Enter Igor Tudor: a man with 11 jobs in 12 years and a no wingers policy. But he's a chaos specialist. So is he the right man at the right moment? And will he stay if we win every match including the Champions League? Stranger things. We bid a tearful…
Kev Acott and Simon Lipson discuss: - Spurs v Bottlers on Sunday - Igor's tactics and selection (not a clue) - Terry v VVD debate - Ledley was better than both - Poor old Brennan Therapy for Spurs fans. COYS THFC
This week, we dissect the 4-1 mauling that felt less like a NLD and more like a roadside accident. Who played well? Tough one. Who didn't? Easier. Igor's fiirst match in charge was like Thomas's last. Plus ca change. But he's got a whole 11 games to put things right.…
Simon Lipson and Kevin Acott discuss: - Gooners drubbing aftermath - Igor hinting at deeper problems - Porro, Danso back - will that help? - Conspiracy theories - Fulham Irreverence, dodgy predictions, therapy. COYS THFC
This week we attempt to deconstruct 90 minutes of absolute vapidity. From “Flappy” launching a free kick into the Thames to Gallagher’s invisibility cloak and Solanke playing so deep he was almost buried. Host Simon Lipson is joined by f-bomb flinger Julie Welch, eternal optimist-with-a-funeral-face Kevin Acott, and Spurs support…
Kevin and Simon with their visceral response to the horror show against Palace. Do the players care enough? Are they trying? Igor fitting square pegs into round holes again. Is there a way out? It's straight from the heart. #COYS #THFC #TTID #Spurs
Wolves won as many home PL games in a week as we’ve won since April 2025. Where's the next point coming from? Should we embrace relegation? Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw pick through the debris. The Red Card Club: Micky follows Romero into the changing room…
Kevin Acott & Simon Lipson discuss: - The Atletico masterclass - Imperious Archie - Tricky Tel, rock-solid Radu, sparkly Simons - Bergvall back and firing - Forest six-pointer Quick therapy for Spurs fans. COYS THFC
