REACTION: Burnley 2-2 Spurs - HE'S SURELY GOT TO GO?

26:43Ample Sample says, hands up who's got, it was a good point away from home and it's a tricky place to go

26:54Mitch K 32 says, just one more game, just one more game and he'll get it right. I promise. Maybe. Bill Argy says, hi Jack. I used to think it was hyperbole when you said we might get relegated. I owe you an apology. I wasn't familiar with your mystic meg abilities. It's all right, mate. It's all right. You know, it takes a bit of time, it takes a bit of time for people to, you know, catch up with my, um, what's the term I'm looking for? is it clairvoyant what's a clairvoyant is that somebody who can see the future i don't know whatever it is i don't even know what i'm going on about me sorry welcome in pieces says hello mate sigh we're crap aren't we just looks at our games against the seven teams below us we have 14 points out of 30 that's pretty gross isn't it

27:53staggers says how is he still here watch this space let's see phil mayo says six from 15 versus the dross of the league six wins from the last 22 echo sonic music says i really don't like the mardy look on van de ven's face most of the time these days you can't blame him mate you can't blame him you can't blame him you know, is completely out of, the fortunes of this football team are completely out of his hands. You can't blame him. You can't blame him. You can't blame a bloke that's paid, what, 100 grand a week to do a job. You can't blame him. You can't blame him. You can't blame him. Fans like you, see?

28:38That's what I'm saying. Fans like you. It's fans like you. It's not the players today, right? It's not the players today that let us down. It's not Thomas Frank. It's fans like you, mate right not like in the not like in the faces of players fans like you um

28:59nick from ven says i'm worried he's completely out of his depth and nobody in the boardroom seems to want to acknowledge that yeah it's weird isn't it they they want to keep taking him for lunch as opposed to sacking him don't they what's an obsession with lunch do you know what i mean what are they doing maybe that's why we're so bad too busy going to lunch all the time i will have a job especially ones that like that yeah we always hear it's such a high pressured environment it's a lunch all the time i work from home a lot of the time and i don't even take a lunch break you know i mean

29:46pirate dread robert says millions and millions of millions and millions of pounds millions of pounds to go for lunch he had a little quip didn't he in the in the pre-match press oh it was a chicken sandwich i had for lunch actually you're a thin ice fella i do you mean what's what are you making fun of right with your quips oh it's just our danish humor is it Not here, mate. Not here, all right?

30:19Denizo Zerk says, mate, how much more of this do we have to put up with? Surely he's getting the sack soon.

30:29Is he? Is he?

30:35Stagger says, it's not the money, it's the many, many hours travelling up and down the country to watch this rubbish. Yeah, fair. If you've done it, mate, today, fair play to you.

30:49Mitch K says, three matches against teams who hadn't won in ages, where we needed points ahead of a brutal February. We picked up one point from nine. Without Romero's heroics, we would not have a single point.

31:08Benedict Fox says, context has to be given to the Dortmund game. The second worst team in the Prem is better than the second best team in the Bundesliga. Dan J. Deers says, I think the board are going to wait until after the City game.

31:26Francesco Sido says, it's time to go. Pirate Dred Roberts says, so tactically naive. How do you play the same system as Dortmund to incredibly different clubs with different tactics and philosophies? Frank is truly an idiot.

31:48Ankur Myron says, if Frank won us the Premier League, build the statue and rename the stadium after him.

31:59Yeah, but we don't have to worry about that, do we? I don't think.

32:07And on Nomad says, F me. hey robertson though we're back in the naughty signing um better clubs dregs thinking somehow experience has any bearing on a modern football match i don't i look i don't i i think i get it right i get that the sort of the the popular thing now is to scoff at proper football men and laugh at players having passion and all that type of thing i just think i think people write that stuff off a bit too freely i do you know in any in any working environment somebody with a bit of experience a bit of know-how a certain personality type is beneficial right that's what i'm saying well i'm not saying he's gonna suddenly you know turn us into some incredible side i don't mind it and yeah i get it like we're back in the noughties but maybe we are back there mate unfortunately like we have sort of slipped away from the top and maybe there's a part just on our side there's an ego that we need to kill here that says we can't do deals like this because maybe that is where we are again you know maybe we are signing Edgar Davids I think that was what Jack Pittbrook that was his hypothesis on this one he likened it to the to the Edgar Davids steel back in the day and maybe that's where we're at again i don't know i just look i just think i just i don't have enough energy to get that wound up about roberts i'm like i'm not back flipping over it i'm not like over the moon about it i can i can see some positives i'm not going to pretend that i can't but i think there's still loads more to do i do you know i've seen like people say like you can't add Robertson into this team.

33:54We need loads of attacking players. I don't think those two, I don't think those two like necessarily contradict one another. I've seen other people say we had this strict wage structure for years and years and years, and now we're breaking it for Connor Gallagher and Andy Robertson. We actually broke it for Xavi Siemens by all accounts. So again, I think there's a, there's a selective kind of,

34:22take on what's happening here. It's not to say those are the only players that are going to be players that we break our wage structure for. I think if anything, you need to see it as promising that we've had Everton, Villa, Newcastle spending loads on wages and leapfrogging us. And now Spurs are suddenly like, well, we've got to start spending more on wages because we've been spending way under our, under the sort of the median for wages. So again, maybe this is just us catching up a bit. I just, I just, I don't mind it. I don't like, I'm not going to pretend that, you know, my head's all over the place about us signing Andy Robertson.

35:08I don't mind it. Don't love it, but I don't mind it. I would say I'm probably a centrist star on it, but I'm veering towards liking it. Let's say it that way, but I don't love it. I don't see it as a game-changing signing. I see him as a player that's padding out the squad a bit.

35:39um 10 miscali says told you after the dortmund game to stop mentioning relegation i apologize it's quite all right day spurs says hit up the likes yeah go on yeah if you are if you're watching on youtube give us a thumbs up like subscribe i'm close to 4 000 subscribers now on on youtube so thank you to everybody has subscribed of late and if you are watching if you just sort of found this go on give it a like one get it up to 4 000 if you're listening if you're listening to this i haven't forgotten about you either all right i need some more likes on that spotify on that there spotify there's there's humble brag there's loads of you that listen on spotify a lot more than i've already liked it on the reg as well so it's easy just drop it a little like all right while i'm here plugging stuff as well patreon.com slash rtr pod ad free podcasts and other like new podcasts and stuff and some evergreen ones and stuff on there as well rando bits and bobs as and when they come to me um steven lucy says genuinely so spurs um after scoring an equalizer in a game that naff.

36:56I think Romero has injured himself kicking the advertising hoarding. Oh, God. Mate, I can't even, let's not at the moment.

37:12Enes says he sees Robertson, or they see Robertson as more of a Heitinger signing. Maybe Heitinger will be the interim, not Ryan Mason. It's a fair point.

37:30Ronnie Sizer says Robertson is on Liverpool's bench. The deal is not that close yet. So I believe Ornstein said that they've taken inspiration from something weird, Semenyo's deal with Bournemouth. So they intend to keep playing Robertson till a certain point because they want to give him a proper Anfield farewell. I don't know. I think it's Ornstein that spelled it out, but there's the way in which transfers are happening now, I think is changing. I don't know if that Antoine Semenyo deal is the one that's changed the way transfers happen, but there we go.

38:13Robert Glentworth says, play Mickey and Cootie up front and win the lot. Feels that way a little bit, doesn't it? Alex Paramore. Oh, where have you gone? Where have you gone? Where do you go, my lovely? Where do you go? I wanna know. My lovely. Where do you go? I wanna know. Who was that by?

38:46Where do you go? Who was that by? na na na na na na someone called Ray single by Peter Sarsted there you go

39:04Alex Paramore says my 8 year old daughter just got into football saw Romero scored and asked why I wasn't cheering totally done with him poor girl having to watch this Tosh honestly mate I think this a lot you know with the ween i'm like i have i have the power here i have the power to say go and support whoever go and support liverpool or something you know the thing is if you do do you know what's typical though if you did that spurs would probably end up actually being good so sauce kid sorry kid um James Glanville says his subs are like a kid playing football manager. When we lose, just chuck on strikers and hope they score.

39:51Get him gone ASAP. JakeM95 says we are going down. Doug Drinkwater says took me years to convince my youngest boy to switch Man City for Spurs. Thomas Frank is undoing all my hard work. T-Pace Coy says he needs to go 100%, but the players are far too careless with the ball. Agree 100%, mate. Could be coaching, but we saw that with Andres as well. I agree, I agree. Leon Ratcliffe says, look at our next five fixtures. We're banging trouble, mate. Honestly, this is a drum I've been banging. February is big. It's dangerous, you know. Neil Andros says, anyone else worried where the goals are going to come from?

40:39we were so lucky with son and cane

40:45james glanville mason again ole ole mason again ole ole mason again mason again mason again ole ole i'm trying to be quiet i might wake the baby up and says she's going for a bit of a phase now where she's suddenly becoming like no one needs to hear about baby stuff today people don't care um

41:16pg says at least moani didn't come on there you go small mercies ricochet pig he's so out of touch he's an interloper nobody respects him I feel like that's kind of how I feel in a lot of my...

Yeah, that's how I feel in a lot of my professional experiences, if I'm honest. It's funny. I hate that feeling. Do you ever get that feeling when you're, this doesn't happen so much anymore, but like when you're a bit younger, I found that like you would sort of call up a mate or something and say, what are you up to?

43:31Do you want to meet up? And they'll say, yeah, well actually I'm going to this place or this pub or this gig or something with these people, but they're sound like they'll like you, you'll get on with them. And you sort of think, don't really fancy it, but against my better judgment, I will go. And like genuinely, as soon as you show up, your mates, other mates are like, who's this? Why is this person here? Yeah. I've had that before.

44:05I'm not going to go into it, but there's one interaction that just sticks out for me that reminds me of, I don't know if you've seen him, there's this Liverpool lad, there's this Liverpool podcaster that does these brilliant, like amazing i'm so jealous of how brilliant they are like i wish i'd thought of it first and and done them he like inserts himself into episodes of the um what's called the overlap so he inserts himself into that and like tells crap jokes and all that type of thing and you know he edits them in a way that the rest of the panel are like looking at him like he's a freak basically i i I recall distinctly in my like early twenties, that sort of situation I outlined there where I went out with some friends of a friend and just like, Oh God.

45:02Oh, well, that's one of those things. You never get, you can get over most feelings, grief, anger, love, whatever. I feel like one of the feelings you can never get over is when something thing has truly made you cringe when you put yourself back in the position you say i said that or i did that or you know it's an awful feeling awful um

45:39mike hanscombe says the board wanting to be seen as patient with frank is putting us on the brink yeah it's weird isn't it this it worked with Arteta so it's going to work with him why

45:54Jake Goodyear hello mate says the Japanese commentators um all they could say about our equalizer is that they were surprised it wasn't a set piece why can't we score a goal I want to watch on highlights that's miserable innit I hope you're doing well mate

46:14Jozo Bozo says Spurs win against a crap team in Europe is this our springboard? Proceed to get humiliated in the next match in the Prem repeat, repeat, repeat this needs to stop

46:31Demetrius says we're going to wrap up the title for Arsenal aren't we? probably Ricochet Pig here we go on the Austin I was forced to read Austen at school, almost as boring as Frank's. Get out of here. It's not. It's a brilliantly eviscerating social satire, right? You have to look at the context of when it was written, who it was written by. Look at what the landscape was like back then, right? Brilliant. Pat Foley, I'm behaving like a schizophrenic at home with my wife and kids. It's not healthy for them and me. I'm showing signs of poor mental health this club.

47:20Don't, you know, don't do anything silly, mate. Toaster Malone says, does anyone know his address asking for a mate? I shouldn't have read that out. It's naughty. Marcy says, Evening Mr. J is Frank Graham Potter clone where the structure of his previous club overinflated his actual ability. Bang on. Absolutely bang on. It's that, isn't it? Roy Hodgson at Liverpool is Graham Potter. God, it took me a mate saying Potter is the Sweden manager before I was getting worried about him being pictured at the game the other night because it's so seen Graham Potter being interim manager that does well enough to earn a contract, a permanent contract at Spurs.

48:12That is so going to happen, but he won't because he's a Sweden manager, so all good. He was just there to watch Bergvau get injured. Ridley says crispy curly fries. Okay. A bit too much. Do you know what I find with crispy curly fries? They put lots of like onion powder or something on it. which repeats on me, indigestion central for me with majority of curly fries. Twisted Complex says chip shop chips. There we go. Stagger says chip shop chips are better, but don't travel. Yeah, you can't deliveroo chip shop, can you? I don't think so anyway. Akeem Lewis says Vicario is a hard watch. No, he's not.

48:58if there are any representatives from Inter Milan here, he is not a hard watch. He is a great watch. He is the best goalkeeper in the world. I really hope you, Inter Milan, do not sign him. I would be very upset if you did that. Please don't do that. Leon Ratcliffe says 100 mil for Van der Ven. Question mark, question mark, question mark. Lots of more question marks. Welcome in peace. It says commentary said our centre-backs, Vandervey and Kuti, have scored 13 goals for us this season. Might be 14 now. Our strikers, Richie Domtel, Collo have 14 between them, with Richie having eight of those. It's quite mad, isn't it?

49:44Doug Drinkwater says Solanke is and always will be a rotation player for a top 10 side. The one show of Premier League strikers. So HackerCPS says somewhere in Wolverhampton, there's a quiz master looking for chips because he's gotten this telepathic call. Funnily enough, Big John Bass, who has actually started his own podcast, The Big John Bass Show, don't know how he came up with that name, was, he's very good at, he's good at finding podcasts, but specifically he's good at finding like limited series podcasts about a subject. a drug kingpin uh you know a what do you call it like dark web hitman or this or that a ghost story he found me a good one about a ghost story from the perspective of a skeptic it was like a real life ghost story it was really good really interesting um and he just sent me one about telepathy um that they're actually strong and legitimate explorations into telepathy.

51:02Lots of links with like neurodiverse people and things like that. It's very, very fascinating. I haven't listened to it enough to give you a full synopsis, but interesting stuff. I can't even remember what it's called, like the telepathy tapes or something like that, I think. Hacker CPS said, oh yeah, he said that, the Wolverhampton thing. I think he's talking about Tom Foynes.

51:30DX2WordsFia says, Better men than Frank have flopped here. Martin Reynolds says, Just heard on Sky, Romero with a late equaliser to ease pressure on Frank. Like it's a result we should be happy with. Having not lost a relegation six-pointer. Properly bad.

51:52gavin 6535 says frank needs to go and he needs to take 90 of the squad with him um people are now arguing in the comments or you know whatever it is um

52:11paul the man says like tottenham haven't needed a complete reset for years yeah sure i don't know Echo Sonic says, fans like me. Yeah, mate, fans like you. It's literally, it's fans like you that have meant that we drew today against Burnley. Fans like you.

52:34John W912 says, remember in the doco, they got to the canteen, it's communal. Levy was in there every day as well. It's just how they feed them. Yeah, fine, fair enough. I get your point.

52:49uh paul the man also says tottenham fan solution is sack the manager how's that working out for you yeah but you know sunk cost fallacy i i'd sort of put back at you there paul um rs9cois969 says is bad when the predictability of it all prevents us from even being angry yeah simon kelly says the worst part is that the board probably sat on their hands after we beat dortmund and stopped looking at the interim options right back to where we were last week

53:31there's a few more messages but everyone sort of people are just getting angry and arguing with each other and it's lots of the same kind of talking about thomas frank and him needing to go and oh Andy Perry good lad here says Jack thanks to these we only look good when the game is chaotic that's not coaching I really don't understand what they're trying to achieve there has been no improvement in six months yeah I think that's a fair point mate that hasn't been there's been and that's the yeah you've cut to You've cut to the heart of it there, Andy. There's nothing, there's nothing to hang our hats on with this Thomas Frank project.

54:15Nothing. There's not a single thing. I genuinely don't think there is. There's not, there's not even one single bit. Like as much as I dug out Ange towards the end last year, there were still always glimmers. There were little bits that you could say, well, there is that bit that's quite good. There is this. I like the fact that he does that. there is for me nothing about Thomas Frank's tenure that is positive or encouraging. Zilch. Zero. Absolutely nothing. There is nothing, if he gets sacked tomorrow, tonight, whenever, there is nothing that we will look back on and say, he did that one thing quite well.

54:56Is that harsh?

55:00I don't know.

55:12I think that's it. I think that's all I've got the, you know, the gumption for tonight. Yeah. I might go and watch Bugonia tonight. How about that? Anyone else seen that? I'm not actually the biggest Yorgos Lanthimos fan, but apparently it's very, very good. Jesse Plemons, especially, is particularly exceptional in it. So let's give it a go. I still want to watch The Bone Temple, that new 28 Years Later film. A lot of Ralph Fiennes in it. Memento Mori! Very, very good. Much love, everybody. Thank you very much for tuning in.
