| 0:00.0 | The Athletic FFC. |
| 0:07.3 | Yeah, hello everybody and welcome once again to The View from the Lane, the Top of the Motterburg podcast from The Athletic. |
| 0:28.7 | I'm Danny Kelly with me today. Full crew following the yesterday's must-win game against Crystal Palace. |
| 0:36.0 | Dan Kilpatrick is here. So is Jack Pittbrook. |
| 0:38.5 | So is James Moore. I'll start with just some fact and opinion. The facts are that was the |
| 0:43.1 | most successive defeat Spurs have suffered in the top level since 2004, which course sounds like it was |
| 0:49.8 | yesterday. It's quarter of a century ago, give or take. And 11 games without a win for the first time since |
| 0:55.8 | 1975. That's over half a century ago. Those are the facts. In my opinion, we're watching the |

| 1:31.1 | That's the question. |
| 1:32.0 | Who wants to put the hand up first? |
| 1:33.7 | I will answer that question. |
| 1:35.0 | James, yeah. |
| 1:36.5 | There is a quarter of the season left. |
| 1:40.2 | Well, just under nine Premier League matches. |
| 1:44.1 | But to me it does almost seem inevitable now. |
| 1:46.7 | Like I can't really think of a example of a team looking this pathetically kind of meek and listless |
| 1:55.2 | and then kind of pulling out of the tailspin this late. |
| 1:59.4 | Like I just like we know there are kind of technical problems with the team. |
| 2:03.7 | We know there are fitness issues with the squad, obviously. |
