The View From The Lane: The Athletic FC's Spurs show
Home woes continue against Villa
•
Danny Kelly is back with James Maw and Jack Pitt-Brooke to pick over the bones of the dreary 2-1 defeat at home to Villa, a result which means it's just three measly wins this calendar year in N17. Is the honeymoon period now well and truly over for Thomas Frank? And what needs to be done to stop this dire run on our own patch?
Also in this most rip-roaring of pods, we hear from Tom Williams about Spurs' chances away to an injury-hit Monaco in the Champions League. The Monegasque are under the stewardship of Football Manager legend Sébastien Pocognoli, which gives a nice opportunity for some FM chat: you know you love it. (Tom's book, Va Va Voom: The Modern History of French Football is, incidentally, well worth your time)
Finally, after David Bentley duked it out with Jody Morris in a charity boxing match, we want to know which Tottenham player, past or present, would you back in a fight. And whilst you're at it, tell us which Spurs legend is worthy of a statue, and which match-worn shirt you'd part with a small fortune to have in your collection.
