Tottenham beat Doncaster 3–0 in the League Cup and the lads ask how to prioritise the domestic cups against Champions League and the league. We talk Thomas Frank’s straight-talking pragmatism, Palhinha’s early impact, Archie Gray’s best role, Kinski’s standout save, Porro vs. Spence, and what to do with a 20-year-old forward riding a rough patch. Plus pricing for cup nights, boardroom vibes post-Levy, and a quick mailbag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Spurs come from two down to draw 2-2 at Brighton after a dominant second half. We get into Kudus’ star turn, Udogie’s balance on the left, Paulinha’s destroyer work, and where the goals come from if Solanke’s not fit. There is a lively debate on Richarlison, the Harry Kane buy back clause, and how Thomas Frank’s pragmatism is landing with fans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Thomas Frank’s adaptability, Xavi Simons’ star power, and Spurs’ new set piece edge. In this episode of The Lab, we're joined by journalist and creator Adam Clery from The Adam Clery Football Channel to dig into what Tottenham’s summer really changed. We break down why Simons is a “nightmare” and a genuine floor raiser, how Frank’s flexible approach contrasts with Postecoglou’s, and why Spurs’ set piece surge is more Brentford blueprint than copycat. Adam explains why Mohamed Kudus feels like the signing big clubs should have made, and we stress test the optimism by asking what happens if Romero or Van de Ven get injured.

Tottenham’s summer 2025 transfer window was full of peaks and troughs, ending with a squad that feels reshaped and refreshed. The arrivals of Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Kōta Takai, Mohammed Kudus, João Palhinha, Xavi Simons, and Randal Kolo Muani addressed key areas, though questions remain about depth at centre-back and the absence of a true left winger. Kudus looks ready to make an immediate impact, Simons is viewed as a special talent, and Palhinha adds vital steel. Luka Vuskovic’s loan shows maturity, while Daniel Levy’s role in the window is still debated. Spurs now look positioned for a top-five challenge. Learn more about your ad choices.
