The Fighting Cock (Tottenham Hotspur Podcast)

We chat to Stu and Jay about how the idea to greet the team bus before Forest came together, how quickly the club, police and fan groups got behind it, and why this week has felt completely different around Spurs. We get into the disconnect between players and fans, why the mood has shifted so suddenly, and why this match feels massive for the future of the club. Most of all, this is about what can happen when Spurs fans pull in the same direction.

We finally feel something again.

After months of numbness, Spurs put in back to back performances that actually give us belief. We talk about why the Atletico result might be the real turning point, how Igor Tudor seems to have flipped the mood inside the dressing room, and why this suddenly feels like a team again.

There’s love for Archie Gray, a look at Mathys Tel’s raw potential, and a bigger chat about why jeopardy might be exactly what football needs to matter again.

Plus, the Forest game looms, the fans are mobilising, and for the first time in a long time it feels like we’ve got a chance.

For the first time in 2026, we’ve actually got something positive to talk about. We look back at Tottenham’s dramatic late equaliser at Anfield, Richarlison’s big moment, and why this point could matter far beyond just the table. We talk about the injury crisis, the performances of Sarr, Archie Gray, Danso and Tell, and whether there are finally signs of fight, belief and togetherness in this Spurs side. Plus, we touch on the fans, the atmosphere building around Forest, and whether this could be the result that gives us a chance.

We dip into the Patreon questions and end up covering just about everything: grim workplace toilet stories, Sunderland away loyalty point obsession, the need for Spurs fans to pull together for the run-in, and the brutal reality of more injuries at the worst possible time. We chat about the gap between fans and players, whether the dressing room is broken, the Nick Boucher stuff, the retractable pitch theory doing the rounds online, and whether winning in Bilbao was still worth everything that’s followed. Proper Q&A pod chaos, basically.

We look back at the chaos of Spurs’ defeat to Atletico, from Kinsky’s nightmare start and Tudor’s ruthless decision to hook him early, to the state of the pitch, Van de Ven’s let-off, and the wider mess around the club. There’s chat about culture, Levy, why Spurs keep collapsing in big moments, and whether this is the bleakest it has ever felt supporting the club. Somehow, despite everything, we’re still trying to work out if the tie is alive and whether there is any way back from the mess on and off the pitch.
