Tottenham Going Down | The Daylight Off Side Rule | Chaos At The Old Firm
09/03/2026 | 50 mins.
We start with Palace beating Spurs and what that game revealed about just how bad things have got. From there it turns into a proper spiral through relegation fears, whether the Championship might actually reset Tottenham, VAR ruining the moment, the proposed offside law change, and the absolute chaos of Rangers v Celtic. There’s also a £3 pint, one of the worst pub moments ever told on a football podcast, and a bit on Paul Scholes randomly going after Michael Carrick. Classic us, basically.

Rob Edwards And The Wolves Miracle | The Problem At Aston Villa | Is Football Broken?
05/03/2026 | 44 mins.
We get into Dr Tottenham vs Charity FC, whether anyone actually wants it (players, managers, us), and why football feels like it’s simultaneously life-or-death and deeply stupid. There’s Arsenal discourse, set-piece moaning, and a quick detour into Wolves’ “direction of travel” glow-up, plus why some clubs are happier bottom than others are chasing the Champions League.

Also: the Jacob Ramsey “dive” that wasn’t a dive, VAR being VAR, Dan’s militant Palace mate threatening to hang ticket-touts from the roof, and a community-owned pub shout. Finish strong with listener questions, overseas fans watching alone, and the noble art of getting through it all by talking nonsense into microphones.

Set Piece Super Powers | The Worst Red Card In Premier League History | Are Tottenham Actually going down?
02/03/2026 | 54 mins.
The world feels like it’s on fire, our timelines are chaos, and somehow we still have to talk about football like it’s normal. We get into Arsenal winning ugly and why set pieces and long throws are basically superpowered now, then spiral into VAR doing what VAR does, handball nonsense, the Lacroix red card, and the general death of consistency. We also chat Bundesliga trying to crack the UK via Goldbridge and The Overlap, why everyone’s obsessed with viral clips, and whether football can ever be a proper escape again. Plus: Malady Monday returns with visual snow syndrome, away day costs, and Flav learning the hard way that raving at 44 comes with interest.

Man City 60pts Deduction Fair? | Donnarumma vs Raya | That Lloyd Kelly Red Card
26/02/2026 | 48 mins.
We’re bouncing from Palace’s biggest night of the season vibes to Spurs doomposting in about 30 seconds, which feels about right. Dan’s convinced this European run might not come around again, we talk Zrinjski Mostar and the weird terror of “we should batter them” football, then immediately spiral into absolute refereeing nonsense, handball rules, and the Lloyd Kelly red that made our heads fall off. There’s a chaotic little Prem quiz, a Donnarumma vs Raya debate, and then we finish with proper life chat about watching football in pubs, Boxpark nightmares, and why we’re all just tired, mate.

4-1 Arsenal | Will Spurs Survive With Tudor? | The Fragility Of Football Clubs
23/02/2026 | 48 mins.
Tottenham lose 4-1 to Arsenal again as Igor Tudor takes charge for his first game and the North London derby delivers another brutal reality check. We break down why Spurs were never really in it, how injuries and players out of position shaped the match, and what Tudor was trying to change in such a short turnaround. We also react to Tudor’s early comments about Spurs needing to “become serious,” talk survival maths, and look ahead to a tricky run including Fulham away. Plus: Palace’s European trip chaos, Glasner backlash, modern football’s “aura” obsession, and a listener-driven debate on whether VAR should be replaced by a challenge system or binned altogether.
