Is Roberto De Zerbi a tactical genius or the world’s most expensive flight risk? This week, we dive into the Italian’s arrival at N17 — bringing high-energy Rondos, a fiery temperament and a salary that laughs in the face of the club's £831m

With only seven games to save the season, we ask: will he stay if we go down, or will he flounce out the moment he spots a carton of UHT milk in the canteen?

Also in this episode:

• Financial Fair Play-ish: Digging through the £94.7m loss—where did that "£100m war chest" go?

• The Mikey Moore Mystery: Why was the club quieter than a library about his health issues?

• Academy Watch: Are our loanees "desperately average" or just resting?

• The Art of the Text: Kev’s guide to the "Calculated Mock"—when exactly is it safe to ruin a friend’s weekend?

Plus, we induct the "USA-isation" of football and the phrase "I was today years old" into Room 101.

Featuring the legendary Julie Welch, the eternally miserable-yet-optimistic Kev Acott, and actor and wannabe social media star, Lee Brown

COYS.

With Roberto De Zerbi imminent, we ask the tough questions here on Nice One Cyril: Is he a Poundshop Conte? What about the baggage, the tantrums, the flouncing out? And has he got decent hair?

We discuss Ange revisionism and the board's troubling naivity. Plus Room 101 and our brand new and slightly pointless Guess The Ex-Spurs Player game.

Loads more besides.

Laughs, irreverence, therapy.

With Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Rob White.

Just when we thought it was safe...

Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Barry Graham talk “nothing” goals, baffling substitutions, Porro’s positioning, Romero’s shuffling and whether Micky has lost a yard.

There’s also the small matter of the pre-match hype and whether it iserved only to heap pressure on the boys and inspire the opposition.

With 30 points from 31 games and Igor still searching for a league win, this has to be the end of his tenure. Surely?

Room 101, a Churchill impression, a cod-Scottish accent (and a real one) and loads of passion.

Bleak, baffled, but still here. Therapy for Spurs fans.

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.

Simon Lipson is joined by Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Lee Brown to pick through another very Spursy week.

First up: the Atlético Madrid horror show, Kinsky's studless boots, Igor ’s icy touchline snub.

Then a look at the gritty draw with Liverpool — signs of life, or just another brief flicker?

With a huge game against Nottingham Forest looming, we ask whether Spurs can finally produce two decent performances in a row.

Plus: Vinai throws Levy under a fleet of buses, conspiracy theories, Room 101, and there are tales of mistaken identity to rival Igor's random bald man cuddle.

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 showers. Is his mind mush? Are the players scared by the scrutiny? Is there a mental health issue?

The Great Escape: Solanke to Newcastle, Vic to Italy - anywhere will do - Micky to Barca. Will it be a transfer window or a closing-down sale?

The "Bring Back the Gilet" Blueprint: Do we need Redknapp, Sherwood and Van der Vaart back in the building to remind this lot what the badge actually means?

Room 101: Dom’s gloves, Porro’s performative badge-thumping.

Plus an epic volley of expletives from Julie and a 6/10 Ange impression. Not to be missed.

Analysis, laughs, irreverence, therapy.

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.

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 group debutant Peter Willis.

On the agenda:

• The match: a study in nothingness.

• Tel and Richy tried. The rest?

• Igor Tudor’s “complex problems”

• Another disallowed goal for the conspiracy theorists.

• Would relegation at least make season tickets cheaper?

• And we scrape the barrel for genuine positive.

Plus: stupid tweets, one sensible one, and a lovely review.

If you’re clinging to Forest and West Ham doing us a favour, this one’s for you.

Hope springs eternal. Sort of.
