S1 E8: A Hangover Cure
North London Derby therapy session… Tudor’s first game in charge ends in a heavy defeat, but what actually went wrong? From a flat performance and familiar defensive issues to the Muani goal that should’ve made it 2–2 — and yet another soul-destroying VAR call. Jon breaks down whether this was just continuity from the old regime, who really carries the blame, and why this feels bigger than one man
S1 E7: Interim Job
Frank gone, Tudor in. Jon reacts to the sacking, what finally cost him his job, and whether it should have happened sooner. What big Igor needs to do to make this a successful Interim job? With Heitinga out and pressure mounting on Vinai and Lange, is this a managerial problem or a deeper issue at the club? Plus a huge Arsenal preview and your questions from X. Spurs have hit reset… again.
