YAPSmas has arrived — and festive discipline immediately goes out the window.

In our first-ever YAPSmas Special, host Owen puts the YAPS crew through a run of seasonal questions designed to be light-hearted, thoughtful, and vaguely organised.

Naturally, it all goes off the rails.

What follows is a gloriously scattergun Tottenham Hotspur conversation that hops between eras, players, managers, memories, and absurd hypotheticals — from Martin Jol to Mourinho, Pochettino to Postecoglou — with modern Spurs chat colliding head-on with nostalgia, Christmas nonsense, and some deeply questionable gift ideas.

There are serious football points in here.
There are also moments where football logic leaves the room entirely.

If you like your Spurs content neat and structured, this might not be for you.
If you like it messy, opinionated, festive, and accidentally funny — welcome.

Happy YAPSmas 🎄

Mercifully.

This month on YAPS, we’re serving up a full Franksgiving special — and the main course is the big question every Spurs fan is chewing on:

With Spurs looking strangely flat, strangely familiar, and strangely confusing under Frank, the lads dig into the vibe, the identity, the fanbase mood, and whether this project is moving forward, standing still, or drifting like steam off a cooling turkey.

We also highlight Hannah’s fantastic article on LGBTQ+ visibility in football in our Skeet of the Month — a powerful, thoughtful read for anyone who cares about the future of the sport.
