The Athletic F.C.

Another calamitous defeat, players disciplined questioned, a management team under pressure.

Welcome everybody to Test Match Special.

Ah, no, of course, no.

This is The View from the Lane, sorry.

Yeah.

Welcome everybody to The View from the Lane, the Athletics Spurs podcast that wins awards,

despite some of the things that the team does.

I'm Danny Kelly and joining me today from The Athletic, Dan Kilpatrick,

and fellow sufferer of Ashes late nights with me, Jack Pitt, Brooke.

Look, we could do a four-hour podcast on the events in North London at the weekend,

but let's get stuck straight in.

I'm going to ask you both a direct question.

Defeat against Liverpool, I want your overall impression.

We'll get on to the individual incidents later.

Suicide by old discipline or murder by the officials, Jack?

Overall, between those two options, I would say murder by the officials who I thought that the first red card was harsh, second red card was probably fair enough.

But yeah, all the stuff about the performance we can come on to later.

But I did think that the Siemens Red Card was harsh and changed the game.

Dan?

Am I allowed to say a bit of both?

It's what you always say, so yes, I guess.
