1:30It's the fighting.

1:34It's the fighting. Cock! It's the fighting.

1:42It's the fighting. Cock! Oh, come on, shut up! Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Fighting God Podcast. Just got to mention, obviously, there's very sad news of Diogo Jota passing. But just before we hit record, anyone in the football family passing in this way with three young kids is just grim. and actually boys it it makes you just stop doing stupid trivial stuff getting caught up in wasteless stupid arguments online and trivial shit and you're getting you know annoyed by things that are going on and stuff you can't control because and it's a cliche your life is short and it can be taken from you in an instant pretty grim news john rick yeah hug your kids hug your loved ones tell your friends you love them set up some time to see your friends and speak to your friends because yeah life's short I think um we were talking just before we were recording we don't we don't know him we don't like know his family and stuff like that but when you see people in the public eye you feel like you know them and we watch football every weekend and we've seen him play a million times and that kind of thing so you have this closeness and because lots of people know the same person it does sort of it's a it's a good well stark reminder for everyone about how fragile life is and how quickly these things can change so try and enjoy every moment man it's very very sad yeah totally yeah um all right lots happening in the world of tottenham i just i kind of felt like there might be an opportunity to kind of have some downtime and you know but um we're always finding new things to talk about and this week it's the fact that Ezra Dill is now seemingly dead in the water if it was even alive in the air.

3:25It's the opposite of dead in the water. Alive on land, maybe, I guess. And kudos from West Ham feels like it may well be happening. This was originally reported, wasn't it, via Twitter from at WHUXemployee, who's, as we know, is well-connected, if not the club, effectively. And they mooted the fact that Kudus would be available for transfer and Spurs were interested. £85 million feels like a lot. How do you feel about it, actually? Because going from Eze to this is a big shift. I'm relatively comfortable with it, but it kind of feels like out of the two, Eze is more of a sure bet. I know they're different kind of players and they do different things.

4:14the profile's different and in fact you know Ezzet plays much more centrally but it felt like more of a sure bet with Ezzet who's most likely to be able to perform or go into the team and kind of start quickly but I'm not uncomfortable with Kudus either John how do you feel? I mean I like both players I think they're both really talented they're both decent they would probably both be really useful in our squad Kudus on the right and Ezzet in more of a central position for me would be really good. I would like us to sign both. I would like us to have gone out and gotten both. That's really what I want.

4:49I want those two players and a six. That's what I personally want. So it is kind of frustrating that we seem to be like dilly-dallying around both these deals and certainly the Eza one looks like it's going to just disappear and that is really frustrating because I feel like we've been linked with him forever. Like even before he was at Palace we were linked with him then. So it's kind of frustrating that we just for whatever reason and we've been courting him for all this time and then we haven't managed to get it done. That's frustrating. With the Kudis one, 85 million is too much money for me.

5:23I think he's a really decent player and I'm not saying we will end up matching his release clause, but when it starts getting like 65, 70 million, I'm a bit like, really? He is decent. There's a lot of potential there. But I heard a lot of people saying, oh, West Ham fans were frustrated because he downed tools and then people, the counter argument is, but they were shit and they were a mess and justifiable. Okay, that's fine. But the outcome is I just haven't seen enough from him to justify 65, 70, 75, 80 million. That seems fucking wild to me. But I do like him as a player, so we'll see where they get the deal done.

6:01West Ham paid 40 million pounds for him. 40 million euros. So they want to see a return on that. They don't want to just sort of break even, do they? He's under contract, although he does have that release clause, 85 million pound is mental but yeah way too much 55-60 maybe if you want if we're desperate to get him in I don't know I think it's like John was saying it's it's like as I was destined to play for Tottenham do you know what I mean the rumours and our paths have crossed on many different times but it just hasn't worked out and then he had a box at Tottenham and there's rumours of someone in his family supporting Tottenham and I think there was a bit as well when he was about to take a corner and the Tottenham fans were shouting at him to sign for Tottenham and he had a smile and a wink kind of thing and all these different bits.

6:58And it's like we've been massively linked with him for two seasons now and I thought this season would be the season they've won the FA Cup. It's kind of like, okay, he's done his time at Palace now. He's ready to move on to a bigger club, bigger opportunities, playing in the Champions League now, that kind of thing. And it just seems like... And also there was this rumour of payment instalments where there was going to be a large payment up front and then we were like, fuck, we're not going to be able to do that. Then it was rumoured that we're able to pay 20 million over three seasons. so that was like more manageable and we'd go for it but now it's like totally dead in the water and with that it's like again we could do with both the the different players different positions but as a is just like i don't know man he is one of those players that he i think he would just flourish at tottenham and that kind of the ceiling which i think he would be able to get to he would get to at Tottenham and it's just going to be a massive shame for a player of that ability that we I feel like that he's gettable that we're just going to let him go to one of our rivals now it might be Lagunas it might be City whoever but someone's going to snap him up and we're just sitting on our hat it feels like we're sitting on our hands really and we're going for a different option but you can only say and put your hands up and be like frank's across this do you know i mean he said to the board or he's indicated i think could us would be a better fit for us if i've if i want if i've got a choice between paying between these two i'd want both of them but if i have to pick one i would pick kudos because he can do xyz he's a different profile to brennan he you know kudus is still returning from injury so we're a bit light on that right hand side area and all these other different bits whereas i think centrally like in the 10 and the advanced eight i think we can kind of cover it even though i would like there to be more competition more depth Premier League ready he's exactly what we want so it's disappointing that that deal more than likely won't come off for us if we just did Kudus, Warton and Eze that would be a blinding window perfect absolutely what do you think that would cost?

9:45so let's like you're talking 75 to 85 million for Warton at least yeah let's say like where are we with Kudus at the moment we're bidding what let's say 65 it probably get there with 65 which is a lot but let's just say 65 so it's another 65 so we've already broken like 100 100 odd million and then as a is what gonna go for that 65 again right so we're nearly at 200 million basically to get them done okay which is our psr headroom as it goes so if someone wants to just chuck us 200 mil we'll get this done well there we go i mean interestingly i did a podcast with ben white who he's been on the lab a few times and he's coming out tomorrow and we went through the entire backroom staff and really tried to understand what everybody's roles are but we also talked about the shareholders in Lewis Daniel Levy's role as a shareholder and also the shit that the people in trust for Lewis and it was his understanding not in his understanding like he he's in the know but he's just based on the behavior is that to have a stock and not interested in injecting money into Tottenham because Tottenham is just one part of a massive business that they have.

10:56They're just an investment company. They're not Clear Lake at Chelsea. They're not the same. They're not cronky at Arsenal. They're not like any other model we've got. I mean, they're not like Tony Bloom at Brighton. He's got his money he's injected in. So that injection of cash is not coming from, certainly not coming from Tavistock. It's coming, it might come from elsewhere if we can get some investment but that would be what it would require now you think right what have we got tottenham you've got 79 million pound in cash which is the amount of future expenditure of all players bearing in mind we still owe 300 million pound on players that we have currently in our squad it's the second or third biggest i think um money owed to other clubs um so that money's not going to be available you've got 100 million pound ish of TV rights money and you've got the Champions League money that you get the group stages paid up front which is about 25 million and then you earn the money as you go on so cash isn't there as far as I understand it you can loan it I guess but we've already we already owe 300 million so I just don't think we can afford that but what I know Rick's gonna ask exactly the same What I don't understand is, right, I know the Gooners have finished second season after season last season.

12:19They've had Champions League runs, blah, blah, blah. But they don't... What they generate from football football, fair enough, right? But we generate shitloads out of football, which you would think would at least equate to something similar. They sign, like, £150 million worth of players every fucking summer and have done for the last few years and pay more wages. Yeah, but what... The wages do... There's no end for them. They're about to do it again. So why can't we do it again? I just, I cannot understand, no matter how many times it's explained to me about fucking amortization, which is the buzzword that is doing my head in more than anything else.

12:56I'm getting to the point where I hate amortization as much as I hate the word var, because it's just fucking nonsense and annoying. Amortization. No, it's not nonsense. Obviously, it's a real thing, but it's annoying that now everyone's going, yeah, but you've got to factor in amortization. Fuck that. Just spend more money. I don't care about this. I don't understand how every other club doesn't seem to be impacted by all the stuff that we're impacted by, yet we generate fuck loads of revenue because we're always in the top of the highest earning club in the world. Tottenham are number three. But yet we haven't got any money.

13:27We can't spend it. Amortisation and blah, blah, blah. I don't care about that. Where's the fucking money? Where is it? Yeah, John. Yeah. We made a loss. We lost money last year. Don't care. Just pump some more in. I don't care. I don't like it. i don't i don't i don't get it like i lost money i know i know how we've lost money but like moving to the stadium was mooted as you know where this is going to bridge the gap that increased revenue from that you know one of if not the most expensive season tickets in europe and then all the go-kart fucking nfl concerts everything that's coming into the club and it's like, mate, we've had a good, we've had a good year.

14:11What's, what's in the kit? He go and have a look. Oh, this is a bit of paper. It just says, I owe you. We're, we actually owe money.

14:21What is the point of any of this? How does Arsenal don't sell anyone? Chelsea buy a billion players every season. Don't sell anyone. How have, and they've got nowhere near the amount of revenue. I don't get it. I can explain it. I can explain it. Okay. Okay. Well, the Chelsea thing is that they've, they've literally, they would be in massive trouble and wouldn't be able to spend but they've sold their women's team to themselves and the hotels so that's how they've got now got so much money that injection of money has come from clear lake or another company into a holding company and then given to chelsea so they've got bundles of cash so quick question why don't we today just do that because we don't have the money to do it we don't have 200 million in cash where would it come from john tavistock they're not interested that's why we need new owners we need new owners if we want to get out of this current situation.

15:07However, there is a way of doing it and it's the way that Liverpool have gone about it and Arsenal have gone about it, which is spending significantly but making the right decisions. Spurs have spent a lot of money but made the wrong decisions on players and managers. And that's really what it's about. It's about the quality of decision-making. And so there will be a time when we get investment where we'll have lots of money and we'll be able to do that thing like the sell the women's team to ourselves but at the moment the money isn't it just isn't there the in terms of our ability to spend and be compliant with the rules we've got a great advantage we just got not got an owner in tavistock or enic that wants to inject cash in a way that clear lake do and the way that arsenal and that's why we need we need new owners and what about this when we built the stadium we didn't pay that with our own money did we we took out massive fucking loans to pay stuff to take out a massive fucking loan for players and pay it back in the future like we could do that couldn't we yeah i guess so what so this is what i mean i just don't understand it doesn't seem to happen very often or if well sure because i imagine it would cost like yeah exactly but this is the thing isn't it you can't the chairman can't come out and go i want to win the champions league and i want to win the league and then go but we haven't really got any money to do it yes if you're going to frame it as going like look we're not in a position to do it now what we're in a position to do now is build a strong foundation so that in three or four years when we have the money we'll challenge for the champions league in the league that's what we're going to do bear with us i'll be like cool i'm on board you've literally come out and gone we want to win the champions league in the league if that's me and i've just said that i'm going i need to explore every avenue to get the money to maximize our psr to give us the best chance to do those two things that is what is pissing everyone off i think is you're saying one thing and your actions are doing another they will find the money to build that fucking hotel i guarantee you that yeah and that's why it's bullshit and that's why everyone should be fucking losing their head because yeah when when they want to do something they'll find the money but when we need and we've got headroom and daniel levy's been the one that chairman and who's been all over this fucking psr bullshit when the rules change we'll take advantage the rules have changed daniel take advantage we've We got 200 million headroom.

17:25Take advantage of that because we could go and outstrip other clubs that we're competing against to get back in the Champions League and give yourself the best chance to get back in it to guarantee more revenue going forward. It's speculate to accumulate time. If we don't do that, like we did finish 17th. We were pretty fucking far off finishing in the top four. We got through because we won a tournament that guaranteed us Champions League football. So there's no guarantee that next season we'll qualify for it unless we invest in the squad. So this is getting to a point where, and I'm not trying to get pre-annoyed here, because we might end up signing what we need.

17:59But if we don't, that's just negligent. Because we are miles off finishing in the Champions League places based on what we've seen from a league form. So he needs to fucking come up with a solution. That's what he gets paid mega money for, the most in the league. Come up with a solution to find a cash injection to get the most out of our PSR headroom. Because otherwise, what is the fucking point of all? Well, I think the motives of some, I want to say most supporters feel exactly the same way. Where is the aggressive ambition rather than the kind of passive approach to owning a football club? Which has seen us succeed in many ways commercially.

18:44And like you say, when that investment comes, it will free up cash. like Newcastle in a difficult situation because they can't spend the money because the club hasn't been run very well for 20 years so it may come to fruition um at some stage um bemused musings he says not sure if this is uh revisionism as a gutted Ange has as I'm gutted Ange has left however since seeing his interviews where he said he's chucked that he was chucked the league he chucked the league why did he not give academy talent more opportunity including for example of the Bodo stars. Feels a waste that he not least tried.

19:22Yeah, it does kind of, with hindsight, looking back at Angie's decision-making in the league, I don't want to start, it doesn't matter really. I don't want to start beating him, using this as a stick to beating with, but he still played his best possible team bar the defenders. What was the move there? Why didn't these kids get a bit more of a shot or would it have been just too much, just throwing them into the firing line and what would you have done as manager Rick? Yeah I mean I think it would have been I mean our league form was pretty dire and even though we were fielding senior players similar kind of formation and philosophy still it just wasn't happening in the league and obviously with the senior defenders being rested for Europa is it too much to be filled in a lot of our other players, I mean I remember where Mikey Moore, he was out for a while virus or something like that, it took a while to come back, but I am surprised that we, like I can't remember the lad's name, who scored against was it Elfsborg?

20:43Ajayi? Ajayi? Yeah, yeah. Adrien where's he been like not not seen since and I would have thought Scarlett may have got more opportunities some other lads as well if we just chuck them out and then we still get embattered though is that good for them well they're going to be playing they're going to be playing for Tottenham so they they need to learn the hard way they they no we're never going to see any of them they'll be playing for Peter but Ricky more than likely but i would yeah i don't know i can't answer your question on that but i would have thought you would see uh not like it would have been sweeping changes that we'd filled a lot of our youth but i would have thought we'd see more do you know what i mean at least like mikey moore given 70 minutes or i mean he probably was i know he has he's got a track record of blood in the ute.

21:41Yeah, for sure. For sure. I mean, he's got a track record for that and a general player development as well. Maybe he's looking at it. And I've got what I need. I've got the players I can develop. I've got, at the moment, I don't need a great deal to start progressing at Tottenham. Like, he's only just got there. You might see, you know, given his track record, as you just said, about his ability to develop players and get more from players, other managers previously could, and turning championship players into very good Premier League players, he might look at this as a start of the journey and going, I don't need a great deal here.

22:19Now, as Spurs fans, we're like, fuck that. Yeah. We want three big players, please. But he may, as the manager, go, I don't need it. Similarly to Slott, said, I don't need a great deal. And I'm not saying we're going to go and win the league, right? Obviously not. but would you allow him that freedom, Rick? Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. So if he'd just come back and say, look, we're not going to be busy. We're not going to be busy. I know what I've got. There is going to be progression this season, but this is part of my plan. Would you be all right? Fair enough, Frankie. It depends what you coin as busy, like five players.

22:55No, no players. No more players. Just none. Just none. No, no, I'd be annoyed. I'd be bloody annoyed. But would you give him the freedom to do what he needs to do? I mean, we've brought him in as a new manager to change things, so he has to be given the opportunity to do that. But I'd be every home game, cross on my arms, really, probably not even watching the pitch, looking at him, just staring at Frank for 90 minutes. Not one player, Frank. This is what you wanted, was it? But the thing is, what does make me believe a bit more is just that he really wanted Johnson at Brentford. He really wanted Gray at Brentford.

23:39So he knows what, you know, their ability, what they're capable of, their ceiling, and how he expected them to play at Brentford and where they would fit in his team. So he's got an idea of how to bring them into the fold, like Gray specifically, and how to push Johnson on and where to best utilize his talent, which is great. And then you've got Bergvot as well. Also, that I'm kind of like with Ange, and I know this is caveated, he didn't play like this all the time. and the games in Europe, more defensive and solid, more pragmatic. I get it. But there were times where we were watching both fullbacks invert, racing forward, and our centre backs were spread so far apart.

24:40The passing lanes weren't there. And when we're playing a game where we're passing out from the back, it got difficult. we'd lose the ball sometimes also as we're moving forward and someone's in a in a low block we're finding it hard we're moving the ball side to side we're not really getting anywhere we'd lose it in midfield madison would push off the ball quick transition and i remember watching opposition midfield just fucking sprinting through open fields there was no one to challenge them poro and the doggy was so far forward and i just think with frank he'll be more pragmatic and he'll be the the defense like van de vent and romero will have more protection because we won't be playing that open and that aggressively attacking one would assume so the kind of thought process of we lost 23 games last year and we weren't great defensively because of xyz and other bits and pieces and we couldn't you know we drew 1-1 because we were unable to break down that opposition i think points will be won in those those bits because we were we will be defensively tighter and he is known for his uh kind of able to move the ball in that final third and he's better at attacking so i think he's probably looking at those parts and thinking do you know what we i'm quite comfortable with having a double pivot right and it's going to be helping the defense out so i just feel like maybe he doesn't need loads of players maybe he just needs to get everyone back in training and to have a look at them so do you know i mean i don't know you've talked yourself into it he doesn't you would be okay do you know what i i actually like genuinely now thinking and talking about i think we should have less players just sell them sell more and have a really tight squad of 16 players that's it john is there any word for you he comes out and goes i don't want any players we're fine i mean look anything's possible uh with spurs i was gonna say i sort of broadly agree with rick just to build on what he's saying i think definitely frank will get more out of the players.

27:02I think his background, his coaching and improvement of players is really evident. I think he'll be more tactically fluid, which is one of the big complaints we had about Ange. One of the reasons why I think he should want to sign some players, though, is to go back to the point we were making about, you know, why didn't Ange play more players when he said he wrote off the league? I don't believe him. I don't think he did write off the league. I think he was trying to win those games and we weren't very good and we lost those games because he just basically wasn't able to get us to the standard to be able to win those games maybe the players the Europa League has sort of worn off a little bit you kind of look back and go we did lose a lot of games in the league we were shit we were shit in a lot of games and it wasn't it wasn't youth players making mistakes it's Ricky's point they just it was so many times it was the same goal running through the middle of midfield or one of our fullbacks is completely out of position just to cut back and they're completely unmarked at the back post I saw that goal 20 times at least last season that wasn't us going oh it doesn't matter we're just going for the Europa League like I think that was very clever protection from Ange and my sort of smoking gun reason why I think that's absolute bollocks is the man literally had a meltdown because we didn't want to win against Arsenal because we didn't want to hand them the title he could not get his head around it because he was like I want to win every game I want to win every game even if it goes against my interests right well why didn't you want to win every league game against your interest of winning the Europa League so I just don't believe him I think it was spin and that's why I do believe this squad whilst it could perform better I do think it has major issues and there were lots of players that we were frustrated with last year that would basically be key players again going into next year if we don't sign players so we have to sign a couple please please Thomas I think it would be well funny if we didn't just all we did was sell Richarlison I'd be fine with that what do you think happens dude he stays like is you thinking about Solanke do you think that potential you know we talked about it on the Patreon pod Rick you know about that what is our number nine backup if Richarlison's there it's got to be him he has to be used if he isn't sold if you can get money for him that would be really good we could have Tell as a backup nine does he start Tell is Tell now starting left sided forward is that the case and then so it all depends really on what Richarlison decides to do like if he go back to Everton Calvert-Lewin's loss leaving them that would be a good place for him to go back and play football where he's absolutely adored or does he want to kind of start still make it at Tottenham I'm not sure but just going back to Kudus I think if that signing does happen he is sort of perfect really if you think about it just his attributes his one-on-one threat he's had more successful take-ons than anyone else in the last two Premier Leagues and I know West Ham fans have been talking about how he sort of fell off and he wasn't the same player as he was last year and like you said John it's kind of systematic issues that could be responsible for that but one thing you cannot take away from him is he loves to drive at defenders and go past them and what's the biggest problem with Brendan Johnson is he cannot do it he cannot get past his man you get him in the right position to deliver a pass across link up play he's very good at that but the one thing you really need when you're attacking and your forwards have got the ball is can they go past their player and can they make the defender think and Brendan Johnson has a lot of good attributes but that's one thing that's missing bringing Kudis in will just give us another option and he probably would probably for that money would end up starting but also you know he's pressing ability speed pace is just it all just sort of makes sense so if there is only a couple of players coming in and that's based on Frank's instruction then I'd kind of be comfortable with that but I'll be very much in the minority I think I'd be like 99 % this first time this has been a terrible summer and to be fair it probably would be and I am throw out a a hot take prediction yeah go on yeah go on I think Frank is going to convert Brennan Johnson into a striker yeah because he's done it before with other players where he's like moved them from wide players into goal scoring players John what's Johnson's best attribute probably is finishing he's he's quick he's he's not good at going past people he's not great at crossing so it's like what is the point of playing him out wide unless you're playing like angie system where you want someone constantly arriving at the back post but you're not getting enough out of them if we sign kudus you've basically got kudus and kulu as like your two right wing options who both want to like cut in and find angles and shoot and want to take on their man so that means you need someone who's in the box who can tuck away stuff.

31:54He's not small Johnson as well. He's probably similar building physique to Solanke, for example. I feel like he might convert him in certain games into a striker. And I think if he does, I think he'll probably do quite well there. So that's my outfield, left field prediction. I think we might see him play through the middle quite a lot. That's not a bad chat, you know. he played eight I think it was eight different formations maybe it was six four different formations last year three of those formations had two up front 3-5-2 he played a 5-3-2 a 3-5-2 and 4-4-2 so it could well be and a lot of people have said that Brendan Johnson in the old 4-4-2 system would have been the right sided striker so you could see Sonny playing in that as well because again he's another player you don't want out wide anymore he's not as effective there if you're playing a 4-4-2 and having Sonny just like Solanke just winning headers, knockdowns and setting up Sonny for finishes that kind of would work quite well so I do think there's maybe something in that and I think this is the thing that is the most exciting about Frank and the most exciting about us next season is there's so much potential options of how we could play that that could really become our biggest strength is that you go from like oh this is the way we play and if it works it's amazing we're going to be a team where it's like I don't even know what we're going to do today and the opposition don't really know and if we can get to a point where the players are so comfortable being that flexible that flexibility in itself becomes a strength that becomes our identity it's like they don't know what they're going to get and whatever they get is going to be really effective that's the most to me that's the most exciting thing about Frank is I go into that PSG game going I don't know how we're going to line up against them but I know he knows is what he wants to do.

33:46And that will give us half a chance, right? We might not always win every game, but I think he will go into it with a plan for every single opponent. And that to me is really exciting because then it gives us a chance. So that's, yeah, I'm excited about it. I don't know how we're going to line up against PSG, but I know we're going to get beat.

I think we're going to beat them. I think we're going to smash them up and it'd be well funny. And I'll tell you why it'd be well funny. Obviously winning the Super Cup, obviously saying like, oh, we're the best and the best. But also just, you know, Arsenal's whole lot, well, we smashed them up on XG, but we went out. It's like, well, we just smashed them up and won a trophy, mate. So that just shuts that down as well. It's one more or a trophy in the...

36:21So what would be great is, because honestly, deep down, I think the Super Cup, you get a cup for a one-off game. I don't think it's like charity shield who cares some people think but the Super Cup is different right because and I've sort of reneged on my previous position before because if say say if Chelsea were playing Real Madrid in the Super Cup and they won I'd be like who gives a shit it's one game it doesn't count now that we're in it I'm going to go this is fine because if PSG not only win they've won the Champions League they win that Club World Cup thing and then we beat them we are the best team in the world then yeah i was thinking about that the other day because that because that you couldn't argue with that like what is anybody can you imagine how much fuel i would have going on to these fucking programs i have to go and i was like we're the best team in the world what what wonderful positions i've been sorry what was you saying you're talking to the best team in the world right now we beat the team that beat the team you can't yeah it's called lineage look it up yeah i think i think the luck has changed you We had all this bad luck.

37:31We've been the fucking part of every joke. The curse is lifted, and I think we're about to deliver the curses now. Honestly, I'm really confident. Not that we're going to smash them up, or we're the best team, but I think we're going to spawn our way. Spawny, lucky, fluky, part of the bus. We're going to beat them. We are going to beat them, and then that's going to be the banter. Then we can banter everyone again. It's going to be Warrior Trophy again. yeah with the with the goon you're saying about xg i'd love it love it if we got absolutely battered and like we were fucking tucked up with xg and then we score an oggy and fucking we win 1-0 yeah yeah zero xg win 1-0 we lift the trophy just be like fucking brilliant yeah he's so good beating psg is not for everyone just back just on the feet but i just can't wait i'm pleased we're thinking about doing a social little heads up yes come on do you think there's interest in it yes yeah mate how many times how many times have you seen Tottenham playing a Super Cup never right so I reckon there'll be a little bit of interest in it come on just be a good day alright alright we'll put together and see how many tickets can go if 100 people turn up that'd be alright a few beers in the sun mate this weather exactly this weather look it's basically a lovely pre-season if you win we're the best team in the world if we lose it's just a little pre-season game who cares it's a little warm up yeah yeah yeah you've been a lads yeah alright you've convinced me you've charmed me yes yes
