| 0:48.0 | It's been a mixed week for Spurs. |
| 0:49.5 | Lost 1-0 at Antwerp and then won 2-1 against Brighton on Sunday evening. |
| 0:54.0 | And Charlie, you got to see |
| 0:55.2 | something that we've been waiting seven years for which is a gareth bail winner yeah not in |
| 1:00.1 | quite the circumstances we we anticipated I guess if years ago we were thinking what would |

That's true, actually, yeah. |
| 2:04.8 | Or they would have been watching on a stream that was about three minutes behind. |
| 2:16.1 | So I'd probably annoyed quite a lot of people who were like, what? What do you mean? Bales scored and then... You could have gone into the chat box on the room and told people there was a goal coming. Yeah, it would have been quite a change of pace from what's normally in those chat boxes. |
| 2:18.5 | But yeah, I could have done. |
| 2:18.7 | James, how was the pay-per-view experience? |
