Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Tottenham writers Dan Kilpatrick, Tom Allnutt and Tom Barclay to discuss the club's battle to make the Europa League with the Champions League looking out of sight. Would it even be a blessing in disguise not to qualify for Europe? Or should Spurs start viewing the Europa League as a great chance to end their trophy drought? Ryan Mason, Richarlison, Cristian Romero and Crystal Palace at home are all also debated. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Allnutt and Tom Barclay to discuss another chaotic 48 hours.

And what is Mason's job for the remainder of the campaign. Plus, Mauricio Pochettino is closing in on a move to Chelsea, giving Spurs fans the grimmest form of closure imaginable. How does the panel feel and what could it mean for Spurs' own hunt for a new boss? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After a brief discussion of this week's big talking points, including Harry Kane's contract, the mounting pressure on Daniel Levy, Fabio Paratici's ban from Italian football and the win over Fulham, the panel holds an in-depth discussion on Lloris. The goalkeeper's form has nosedived since the World Cup but is it the result of an inevitable decline or his agony in Qatar? And who are the contenders to replace him as Spurs No.1?

Tom and Dan are joined by Adam Nathan, Historian of Tottenham Hotspur Injustices 1999-present.

Yes, your eyes do not deceive you, we are back for one night only to bring you the Tottenham Way Christmas Quiz 2018. Tom and Dan welcome back some podcast stalwarts to battle it out for the title of Quiz winners of the year; Dan KillyP with Sean Walsh, Oly Lister and BillieT, and Caff (@curlycaff) and Jack (tehTrunk). We have have 5 round to get through, with some bonus material in the middle where we catch up on all things Spurs, whilst getting steadily more and more drunk throughout.

To bring The Tottenham Way podcast to a close, Tom and Dan are joined by pod stalwarts Jim and Oly to review the season and generally disagree with each other over just about everything. We start with Pochettino's comments post-Leicester, and what it could mean for his future at Spurs. Do we expect a big summer? What, indeed, does a big summer look like to us? We talk leaving Wembley (hopefully...) and Kane normalising greatness. We rake over our pre-season predictions to see who was the most wrong, and discuss our favourite moments from the season as a whole. Finally, we want to say an enormous thank you to everyone who has guested, supported, promoted and engaged with The Tottenham Way Podcast over the last 3 years.

So, Watford was a struggle wasn't it? Here to discuss a game that Dan - incredibly - found 'entertaining', is Sky Sports and The I journalist Oliver Young-Myles. Important to reverse the slide and get Kane back among the goals, but in a wider context another 5 point buffer over Chelsea in the race for top 4. What was the key to winning the game? Simply Kieran Trippier? Some Dembele and Dier chat, Lloris, Poch and West Brom to finish it all off. Getting closer. COYS Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, this horrible, heartbreaking week, it's an El Classico, with just Tom and Dan left to pick themselves up and go over Tottenham's eighth FA Cup semi-final loss in a row. We went ahead, but it still wasn't enough. Why? And when will this ridiculous run end? Pochettino's alarming post-match comments, plus his team selection, get analysed, before we go on to talk about the remarkable treatment of Harry Kane from an authority who should be protecting him.

This week, Dan and Tom are joined by Pete Starr, Head of Content at MatchPint.co.uk and Man United fan ahead pf the massive semi final at Wembley on Saturday. We discuss the uncomfortable Manchester City title win after their worryingly simple victory over Spurs at the weekend, and wonder what both clubs need to do to come close to them next season. As for the game itself, well, we gloss over some stuff. Brighton and the PFA Team of the Season are mulled over, before we get down the semi final chat. Plenty to go over here, including lineups, Vorm, Lloris, Son, Lamela, Martial, Rashford, Pogba and Sanchez, and not to mention Pochettino vs Mourinho. Season defining. COYS.

This week, Tom and Dan discuss Harry Kane's insatiable search for goals, epitomised by his claim for our second goal against Stoke this weekend. We talk about our whipping boys from the Potteries, plus some Dembele metaphors and Toby talk. Little bit of City, and our decent record against them, and some overview of our season at Wembley as it draws ever closer to an end. Top 4, Trippier, Pep, Sane, and some Kyle Walker. COYS.

To discuss the mere 28 years, 1 month and 23 days since our last victory at Stamford Bridge, Tom and Dan are joined by Liam Twomey, ESPN's Chelsea correspondent, graciously willing to go over the event we all thought we'd maybe never see again. It's finally happened, and we have Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen to thank for the most part, but how has it taken so long, and what does it mean to have finally got this significantly sizable monkey off our backs? We talk about what it means for the top 4, what it means for both clubs in the short and long term, and Spurs' best players shining on the biggest stage. We also have a chat about Lamela being a b*stard, Lloris and his flapping hands, Levy's salary, Toby's contract, and Stoke away. It's finally happened. COYS. Learn more about your ad choices.

El Classico this week, Tom and Dan picking over the FA Cup quarter final win over Swansea which paved the way for our semi-final meeting with Man United. Do we consider Wembley as an advantage, having spent what feels like an eternity getting over the 'Wembley Curse'? And what can we expect from Mourinho? Swansea is reviewed, with attention paid to Vorm, Eriksen and Lamela, with a little touch of Sissoko, who apparently Firmino loves. Don't ask. Some chat on season tickets again, plus Shaw vs Rose.

El Classico this week, just Tom and Dan to talk through the gutting Juventus loss and what it means for this developing team. We start with Kane's injury though, and what changes will need to be made to accommodate his absence from the side. Juventus is covered, including the little tricks that Spurs will have to learn along the way if we are to ever compete at the same level. Kane's injury left room for Son to shine once again, and we wonder why he's exploded this season, and our prospects with him deputising for Kane. Also Rose, Aurier and Lamela.

Tom and Dan are joined by Greg Lea, writer for The Set Pieces and Crystal Palace fan to discuss the scrappy, late and important win at Selhurst Park this weekend. Kane's numbers grow, Aurier can't take a throw (three times) and Dier fills in perfectly, but it's Alli who we study at length, in light of Lineker and Shearer taking digs at his supposed diving. Is it a fair criticism? Will it affect him at all to have the label the rest of his career? Some Rochdale, before some important updates from THST after their meeting with the board last week.

Tom and Dan and are joined this week by Sean Walsh, our trusty Tottenham Way apprentice (and leading Tweeter) discuss Spurs going from a sublime 2-2 in Turin to a ridiculous 2-2 draw in Greater Manchester. We start with a discussion over which Spurs players, past or present, would most likely steal a taxi in Barcelona, before moving on to the stunning draw at Juventus, including what it means to be 'new Spurs'. Pochettino's love for the Champions League, Italy's press gunning for Davies and Aurier, and Dembele running the show for the third week running. Rochdale needs looking at, and why we can't get ourselves motivated for these games. A full 11 changes to the team from Turin, did this slow us down? Why aren't the players fighting to get out of that reserve side? Finish on a couple of listener questions, including what we have personally ever won. Between us, it's not a lot. COYS.

This week, Dan is in Turin ahead of our Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie against Juventus so Tom is joined by pod regulars Oly and Rosa, here for their first ever joint podcast. We have to start with the Derby and the dominant display that should have yielded more than the 1-0 win we came away with. Dembele ran the show, and we wonder if he's ever had a better 10 days in a Spurs shirt. Kane and his legendary status, Davies and his huge improvement, and Lamela taking Wilshere for a walk. We have a brief update from Dan from Italy immediately after the Pochettino press conference, before discussing the tie in more detail. Should we be confident? Are we knackered? Does Poch really believe we can win it? Derby Day Delights. COYS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Tom and Dan have invited back George Baggaley, the salty Liverpool fan we brought on earlier in the season, and Conor Mummery, Mirror Football Social Media Editor, to discuss the pulsating and controversial draw at Anfield. We discuss penalties, Salah, Dier and the weird diamond, and Poch in the big games. Wanyama's piledriver. Kane's balls. We briefly touch on Newport before moving onto the North London Derby, with a new-look Arsenal rolling into Wembley. A big week is about to get bigger. COYS Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Dan begins with the absurd revelation that he watched The Two Ronnies for the first time ever, much to Tom's disbelief. We move onto Lucas Moura, our new signing who Poch has said we shouldn't expect much from straight away. How true do we believe this to be? We do actually talk about football, and the outstanding win against Man United at Wembley. Kane, Trippier, Son, Eriksen and Dembele are all bigged up, and we discuss the kick-off routine that led to our opening goal after 10 seconds. Liverpool at Anfield is previewed with a mix of excitement and trepidation; can we buck the trend of our away results against the top 6? And what approach is best against a dangerous but leaky Liverpool side? We finish by asking what our best formation is, and what team would win the PL if they could only field an XI made up of their one best player. Spoiler: we probably still come 2nd. COYS.

Dan and Tom pick over the bones of our 1-1 draw with Southampton at St Mary's on Sunday - a trip that started badly when Dan tried to catch an imaginary train. The squad was hit by the flu during the week - leaving Eriksen and Lloris incapacitated and unable to play - and while Pochettino may not be using it as an excuse, should we be? How damaging to our Top 4 hopes was the result? And how far is the Sissoko hate really warranted? Thoughts turn to Newport, and a chance to progress in a competition that may be our best chance of success this season. Will Poch change his approach to the competition? What do we know of Newport? (the answer is next to nothing) Some transfer talk, then some listener questions. Chin up. COYS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dan and Tom are joined by Jack Rosser, Spurs correspondent for Evening Standard online and Southampton fan, here to discuss the upcoming fixture on the south coast. It's been 5 years since Pochettino first turned up on these shores as a relative unknown at St Mary's, so we start with a look at his half-decade in England. Did Jack think he would ever be as successful as he has been? We talk loans for Nkoudou and Edwards, as well as Carter-Vickers returning from Sheffield United. Everton reviewed, including Son and Aurier, Kane the perpetual record breaker and an fantastic team goal. New contracts, all over the shop, before a proper preview of our game against a struggling Saints side. Spoiler: Jack is NOT confident. We end with some stadium talk, as Jack describes the move from The Dell to St Mary's back in 2001, and what it potentially does to a fanbase. Lots to discuss. COYS Learn more about your ad choices.

Here we are, back for the first episode of 2018 after our Christmas breaks. And what a Christmas period it was for Spurs. First port of call is the FA Cup, where Dan is fresh from attending and keen to discuss a few talking points, such as Kane, Sissoko, Llorente, Foyth and Son. Of course, Vertonghen getting back amongst the goals also comes up. We go over the busy week that saw us face Swansea and West Ham in quick succession, and where the period leaves us going into the new year. Bit of chat about the newly opened transfer window, plus an Everton preview, where Tom is oddly confident. Happy New Year. COYS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Another week, another disappointing Spurs result, although this time it came via an outstanding victory away to Dortmund in the Champions League, ensuring we finish top of our group with a game to spare, ahead of the Germans and reigning champions Real Madrid. With this in mind, why exactly CAN WE NOT BEAT WEST BROMWICH BLOODY ALBION?? Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Allnut head to the pub to discuss the see-saw life of a Spurs fan at the moment, while discussing Son, Kane, Rose and Ben Foster. Onwards. COYS.

Dan and Tom are joined this week by Luke Brown, writer for the Independent and Spurs fan who suffered along with us all on Saturday. Before we get to that horror, we ask Luke to elaborate on his excellent interview with Tim Sherwood, which raised some old questions about what influence he has had on the club as it stands now. Minimal, or does he have a point? Sadly, we have to discuss the derby defeat, which saw us go down to Arsenal for the first time in 7 league games. What went wrong? Was it a crime of passion, intelligence, tactics or otherwise? Can we blame injuries and fitness, or were we just merely beaten by the better team? We move on to Dortmund, and a daunting if somewhat pressure-free fixture against prestigious opposition. Is this the perfect game to bounce back with? Or should we be concerned of an ongoing confidence issue? Newly manager-less West Brom also get an airing, and the type of game we can expect if they get a certain Sam Allardyce - or perhaps even Sherwood himself - in before Saturday. Chins up, everyone.

This week, Dan is being a dirty stinking flounce and has left Tom in charge, but fear not as it's the return of the original Dembelievers Cath and Rosa, here to set the Spurs world to rights in their unique way. We begin with a chat about Dembele and his fitness issues, and whether his beasting of Sergio Ramos will be his seasonal high point. Leading nicely into the Real Madrid game, how does it rank in our all-time performances and results? Does it feel like we've really arrived at Wembley now, or did it make us pine for White Hart Lane even more? Alli, Kane, Vertonghen and Trippier all mulled over too. We move onto the international break and our English lads pulling out of the squad. Can Poch now pull rank, or does his pride take over? And what is causing all our injury problems lately, can we simply blame the big Wembley pitch? We move onto Palace, and a tough but ultimately warranted victory over the bottom of the table club. Son - underrated or continuing source of frustration? Have we fully forgiven Rose? And what on earth to make of Gazzaniga in goal? We finish with a couple of listener questions, including what it's like to raise the next generation of Spurs fans. It's a cracker this week. COYS. Learn more about your ad choices.

A special episode this week as Dan sits down with Guillem Balague, author of 'Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs', a fascinating look at how our manager has transformed our club since joining in 2014.

This week, Dan has invited his Liverpool-supporting friend George onto the podcast to discuss - or argue over - the weekend mauling of Liverpool, our first win over the Reds in 10 games. After a quick discussion about George's experience of being a fan at Wembley (1m15s), we of course have to start with our heroic but completely warranted point away at Real Madrid (7m14s). What did we think of Pochettino's surprise line-up? Is Winks the second coming of Modric? And where does this leave Spurs in terms of our status on the European stage? We move onto Liverpool and the gradual dismantling of Klopp's laughable defence (15m20s). Dan and George argue over the targeting of Liverpool's defence, and whether it was a deliberate plan of Pochettino or merely terrible individual errors. What indication was the game of where Spurs and Liverpool both are? Was this the statement win we were looking for at Wembley? Thoughts turn to West Ham (40m15s) and who we are likely to start, in particular in midfield where numbers are short. The big talking point is the return of Lamela after a year out, and Tom and Dan stake their claims for and against his place in the team going forward. We finish with a preview of Man United, with us travelling to Old Trafford in good form (46m50s). Will we face a United side looking for a backlash after a disappointing two weeks, or can we continue our momentum? Listener questions include what does Jordan Henderson do, plus Kane's likelihood of going to Madrid. Enjoy. COYS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tom and Dan return after illness and covering England -- both equally energy-sapping -- respectively to discuss Bournemouth (meh), Real Madrid (ARRRGHHHH!) and Liverpool (errrrr) over an exotic beer. (1m15s) We discuss whether Poch's rant at Pep was a sign of irritation, clever mind-games or both, plus Levy's desire to keep him at Spurs for the next 10 to 15 years. (13m59s) Tom dishes out the Christian Eriksen stats after another decisive performance from the playmaker on Saturday and Dan wonders if Kane is being more selfish than usual as his Wembley drought in the league continued. (26m50s) Danny Rose's shock return is assessed along with Poch's selection headache at the Bernabeu and we find it harder than we thought to name our combined squad from the 2011 Champions League team and this current crop. (45m10s) Finally we look ahead to Liverpool -- has Klopp got the edge over Poch? -- plus our daunting run of fixtures over the next 6 weeks. To finish off, we look back at our pre-season predictions as we edge towards a third of the season gone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Tom and Dan are recording in Tom's living room having just watched the APOEL game live and prepared to give some hot takes straight on the back of our glorious victory. There really is only one place to start and that's with Harry Kane, the man who continues to take Europe by storm. That's 5 goals in the Champions League this season, and it looks like there will be plenty more. We also discuss West Ham, where of course Kane was instrumental once again, but also the contributions of Alli, Eriksen, Sissoko and Vertonghen, plus a chat about Aurier and any concerns we may have after his rash sending off. We also have a quick chat about Huddersfield but, spoiler alert, we know nothing about Huddersfield. Sorry. COYS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
