Charlie Eccleshare on Missing Spurs' Europa League Win | Postecoglou’s Exit, Frank’s Future and Tottenham Clichés (Q&A)
Update: 2025-09-25
Description
Jack is joined by The Athletic’s Charlie Eccleshare (also of the Football Clichés podcast) to reflect on his time covering Tottenham Hotspur. Did he feel gutted to stop reporting on Spurs just as they lifted the Europa League? Were the club too harsh in sacking Ange Postecoglou, and is Thomas Frank really the man to take Spurs to the next level?
Charlie also answers your questions: did covering Spurs give him a kind of Tottenham Stockholm syndrome despite not being a fan? How does covering tennis differ from football? And what are the most clichéd tropes in the way Spurs are written about in the press?
Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen.
