Finally, Spurs win a game at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium! Xavi Simons was star of the show as Spurs overcame Thomas Frank's old side at a time when the knives were well and truly out for the Danish manager. Spurs played with more intent and purpose than we've seen in a while (outside of the PSG game) and it paid off - there surely can be no reason to not play Xavi from now on?

Jack is joined by Kish from Lilywhite Lab to try and make sense of the trip to St James' Park. We examine the reaction to the Newcastle game, trying to separate the emotional relief of the result from the rational assessment of the performance. Discussion then turns to the confusing case of Xavi Simons. Is his continued omission a simple struggle to adjust to the Premier League, or a more worrying reflection of a clash with Thomas Frank’s style of play? We also dive into the midfield engine room

Two worldies from Cristian Romero have spared Spurs yet another defeat in the Premier League after a wholly uninspiring performance from Thomas Frank's men. Tottenham's performance, however, pales in comparison to the shambolic officiating on display to award potentially the worst penalty ever seen.

We discuss why, despite the result, there were genuine green shoots of promise in Paris, diving into the stylistic shifts and personnel tweaks Thomas Frank employed, and what this new look means for the rest of the season. We also debate the Xavi Simons situation, is he just taking time to adapt, or is he the latest victim of the club's disjointed squad building? Questions this week cover whether we need to ignore

Jack is on the mic to react to a breathless 5-3 defeat to PSG in the Champions League.It was a performance that arguably defied the scoreline. Plenty of attacking promise and evidence that Thomas Frank is attempting to be more positive, but ultimately undone by moments of madness at the back and the sheer quality of PSG. Discussion covers the harsh reality of individual errors at this level, why there is reason for stoicism rather than panic, and the undeniable positives to take from a

They get into Flav’s disdain for the commodification of the fixture and whether the divide between the clubs has ever felt this wide since the peak Wenger years. Flav then answers your questions, from which injured player deserves the super magic sponge, to whether you’d trade a 4–0 derby win for a week of Marv-from-Home Alone-style trauma.

What a strange/frustrating/exhilarating match at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Two teams who aren't quite sure of how good or bad they are, played out a game that answered little for either set of fans. Just as Richarlison thought he had won it (after a terrible performance from the Brazilian) De Ligt came back and notched an equaliser, which was probably fair on the balance of play. Frank's starting XI and subs have definitely raised a few eyebrows, but at least it wasn't a loss going into the
