Spurs spent 413 million this summer, sit bottom of the Premier League, and have not won at home since the final day of last season. Matt, Beato and Ulysses spend ten minutes on whether that club is broken, badly run, or genuinely cursed.

In this episode: deadline day closes with roughly 2.2 billion spent across Europe, Chelsea alone near 476 million, Bradley Barcola moving to Liverpool for 140 million, Ollie Watkins finally forcing his way out of Aston Villa, Man City lodging a 120 million euro bid for Enzo Fernández, Jack Grealish heading back to Everton and Rafael Leão off to Galatasaray. Liverpool get held at Nottingham Forest in a game Matt watched at six thirty in the morning, and the verdict is a side that still has no settled midfield, a right back offering nothing going forward and a goalkeeper who gave away a penalty with a reckless clear. Hull City sit in the top four while Coventry lose a game they controlled, and Matt cannot get over the empty seats in their first season back in twenty five years. Spurs lose at home to Newcastle and the group splits on whether it is mentality, pressure or a curse, with Matt arguing a European trophy outranks a league title and Beato and Ulysses telling him he is smoking crack. Chelsea keep outscoring a defence that gets caught with its pants down. Bruno Fernandes gets a hat trick that Beato calls the most lackluster he has ever seen, and Matt begs United to let Marcus Rashford go. In LaLiga the group digs into Sevilla's collapse and whether Spain's financial rules have permanently lost the league its argument with the Premier League, before Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Xavi Espart and Anthony Gordon put Barcelona back on top.

Are Spurs still a big six club, or is that just a name they stopped earning years ago?

Back Monday with Arsenal against Chelsea, Barcelona against Valencia, and the Champions League draw we ran out of time for.
