The View From The Lane: The Athletic FC's Spurs show
Bringing Pochettino Back & Spurs Winning The Champions League?!?!
•
In a View From The Lane Special, the whole crew of Danny Kelly, Jack Pitt-Brooke, James Maw and Tim Spiers are in the studio together!
They discuss whether bringing Mauricio Pochettino back to Spurs would be a good idea, and if the club could replicate their incredible feat in 2019 of going all the way to the Champions League final… but this time, going one step further.
Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 second leg against Milan will be the true test.
Produced by Mike Stavrou.
