You guys are some sort of mix between a resureccted calm and wise Carl Sagan making peace with invading aliens while the rest of the world is panicing and the PR guy Saddam Hussein had claiming there were no invaders while you could literally see the statue of Saddam being torn down in the background.
Always appreciate the perspective and positivity, wish I had that ability in my own life! Keep on doing your thing.
I actually 'relapsed' a bit after the record in so far as I found myself quite angry and down after watching Ange and Son's post-matches.

It was a hard watch, indeed. Can't help but feel for the man.

Pain
Season 5 Episode 30
Steff, Milo, and Ram dive into the pain. Another defeat (at Everton), more injuries, angst within both Ange and the fanbase, it’s all real, it’s all understandable, and we do our best to get into it.

Thanks for name check @thfcsteff. Today I’m less angry and more gutted that Ange is broken or by default has broken his work
In the mates WhatsApp my mate who went, an Everton fan, said he just could t believe how we were set up against such a bad side. That’s something I think was missed when referring to how we played. They were team who couldn’t buy a goal and we gave them 3… and it could have been more.
With that context it has to go down as the worst half of football we have played in years IMO

Thanks for the question mate. I, too, am sad.

No worries
Keep on doing the good work
And on the comments wording being positive… there are enough negative pods out there already for others to enjoy
Probably, I always think trying to see the positive in things is much better and healthier than the negatives… even when in this kind of spiral

Season 5 Episode 30
Steff, Milo, and Gareth just go there. We're 26 days into the transfer window. What is going wrong at Tottenham Hotspur? Why is it going wrong? And what could put it right? We determine how many years AFTER Peep Show Callum Olusesi was born and visit Gareth's 90s corner. Because this is where we are.

@milo you mention on the pod that Paratichi was responsible for the Dragusin signing - where are you getting that info from because Ange spoke about that deal and said it was him & Lange working together to identify him as the primary target for CB? Or did you mean that once they had identified him as the target Paratichi took it from there?
Paratici was at Juventus when they signed Dragusin in 2018.
Yeah, but it was mentioned on the pod in relation to when we signed him?

Ange goes in to detail here and Paratici's name doesn't figure

I assume we at least asked him about the player before signing him, but I agree, I've never seen anything about him being responsible for bringing him to Spurs.

@billyiddo @Jordinho I know we're all probably in slightly different areas of agreement when it comes to responsibility for this current club mess, so first off, really appreciate your time in still listening to the pod, and secondly, genuonely interested to know if you feel that even if we don't agree with all takes on the current situation, we're expressing our (genuine) empathy with all the Tottenham tribe because we are ALL hurting right now? We're walking a fine line between expressing our views but also wanting to be absolutely sure that even in disagreement with others there is recognition that we are ALL in the same boat.

Don't really know where to post this, so posting it here. You guys have a tendency to nuance my own view, and it often gets me thinking. And it made me realize how much of an easily swayed person I am, and that may not be such a bad thing. Whenever I watch a true crime thing, like Making a Murderer, there is of course this first phase of the documentary presenting the evidence for someone being wrongfully accused, and I'm all "fudge yeah, this guy needs to be freed goddamnit!" - then the second phase hits with all the evidence for the guy being a killer - and I'm all "oh, he's definitely the killer, brick!" - and so it goes back and forth. Every time.
I'm easily swayed. And why am I? Because essentially, I don't know brick. And the same goes for our situation. What do we really know about what happens behind closed doors at our club? What are the reasons for our injuries? Is it just bad luck? Is it just Ange not rotating and training our players way too hard? None of those things? A mix of both? Did we not get our targets in the transfer market? Are Lange and Co really to blame for that? Were we just unlucky there as well? Have we just had the margins against us this season, and has the collective mentality taken a hit due to that, and we've suffered further because of that?
fudge if I know. I know absolutely nothing. I think I do, based on what I see on TV and read here and there - you think you can get some sort of glimpse - but can you really? Not really. Think about your own place of work - how would it look from the outside? Would the outside see the troublemakers, the quiet excellent workers, the lazy middle boss guy, the boasting fudger that never does anything, the wonderful old lady that spreads her good mood to everyone, the short lunch times that everyone hates, the nagging sexist HR dude and the terrible presentations? The company makes a lot of money and has amazing commercial presentations, delivers a solid product to the customer, but on the inside, it's not perfect, and it leaks out into performance over time.
I'm just rambling now, but just wanted to get it off my chest. I don't know brick. We don't know brick, and whatever judgments we make on our current situation, well, who knows how accurate it is?
Loved the Peep Show stuff today by the way, 5 years AP, haha, made me laugh.

I think this is a BRILLIANT post, and essentially captures me too. And anyone who is honest/not inside the club on a regular basis. Well said. It's one of the reasons I hammer the whole 'dialectic' angle, because essentially that is the closest to the truth any of us can get. Or would probably want to. Imagine actually fudging KNOWING everything, oh the horror!!!!!
And yes, I like to think of that as me providing a glorious assist and Milo smashing it in the bottom right corner!!!!

Steff, you're one of the few around here who claim to have inside knowledge.
You often hint that you've heard terrible things but can't possible say them on a forum, you've been told this and that, you know the inside scoop on the managers etc.
You swipe at various board members. In fact you swipe at all the board members. Maybe you just don't like authority figures?
Are you admitting you only hear one angle and probably don't know much at all?

Vic Buckingham
I would say in life generally that when it comes to me personally, a safe assumption is that I don't know much at all.
It pays to know, and acknowledge, what you don't know.
However I do know SOME things.
With regards to Spurs specifically, absolutely right re: solo angles. It is the same for everyone, unless they are employed at certain levels within the club, and even then I am sure there is 'need to know' basis in place...

Whiskey is had in celebration, an impromptu academy pod is dipped into by proxy, Milo reveals the true scope of his Djed Spence appreciation, and an enthusiastic Steff (fueled by the grain) challenges Milo’s editing skills.
