Spurs have won back-to-back league games. Yes, really.

In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen look back at the huge away win at Aston Villa and ask whether Roberto De Zerbi has finally found the missing belief in this Tottenham squad.

We discuss a performance that felt better than the 2-1 scoreline, the intensity from the first whistle, the impact of Conor Gallagher, João Palhinha, Pedro Porro, Richarlison, Kolo Muani and Mathys Tel, and why De Zerbi’s “no more pity party” mentality may be exactly what these players needed.

We also preview Monday night’s home match against Leeds. Can Spurs carry the same intensity into a game where expectation will be higher? Will the home crowd help or add pressure? Should Kinsky keep his place? Could Maddison get minutes? And can Spurs take another huge step towards Premier League survival?

There’s also chat about Archie Gray’s future role, Spurs’ transfer needs, Johan Lange, Sebastian Kehl, possible summer targets, West Ham, Arsenal, Chelsea, the Australia pre-season tour, Spurs youngsters, and a World Cup rant for good measure.

In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme, Glen and special guest Richard Stafford (Kiwi Spurs) break down Spurs’ narrow win over Wolves and look ahead to a huge clash against Aston Villa.

It wasn’t pretty… but it was a win. The panel discuss whether that result could be a turning point, or just papering over deeper issues in the squad.

We also dive into:

• The brutal reality of a potential Championship season
• Why Spurs struggle against “ugly football” teams
• Injury chaos (again…) and what it means for the run-in
• Key performers like Bentancur and Kinski stepping up
• The relegation battle… and why Nottingham Forest might still be dragged into it

Plus, a full preview of the Villa game and predictions as Spurs fight to stay in the Premier League.

Can Spurs build momentum… or are we still relying on others?

Spurs showed signs of life against Brighton — but another late goal conceded left us with that familiar gut-punch feeling.

In Episode 95 of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen look back at the 2-2 draw with Brighton, ask whether Xavi Simons has finally arrived in a Spurs shirt, and debate whether Roberto De Zerbi is the right manager at the wrong time.

We also preview the huge away match against Wolves. With five games left, Spurs badly need points, performances are no longer enough, and the relegation fight is very real. Can we finally end the winless run? Does De Zerbi stick with the Brighton team? Should Bergvall start? And is Wolves now simply a must-win?

We also discuss the wider survival picture, West Ham, Chelsea, Villa, Everton, the leadership issues in the squad, Cristian Romero, online abuse aimed at Kevin Danso, and the possible arrival of Sebastian Kehl as sporting director.

Tottenham Hotspur have made a HUGE call — appointing Roberto De Zerbi as permanent manager on a long-term deal.

In this episode of Tottenham Home & Away, Graeme and Glen break down the decision, the timing, and what it means for Spurs’ survival hopes this season.

Plus:

• What De Zerbi brings tactically

• Why Spurs’ squad looks confused after multiple systems

• Concerns around club structure and decision-making

• World Cup 2026 ticket chaos and pricing madness
