Description

Tottenham continue their European journey with a gritty Champions League draw against Bodø/Glimt, followed by a much-improved Premier League win over Leeds.

Stu and Ash break down both matches — the tactical adjustments, injury updates, and the growing influence of Thomas Frank on this developing Spurs side.

🧠 We discuss:

  • Lessons from the trip to the Arctic Circle ❄️

  • The impact of Frank’s rotation and mentality 🔁

  • Key performances from Romero, Poro, and Zavi Simons

  • Spurs’ improved resilience and fitness regime 💪

  • What comes next against Aston Villa and Monaco

Plus: a quick detour to Hollywood 🎬 as Ash updates us on his writing projects and the legacy of The French Connection.
