| 0:02.0 | Hello everybody. |
| 0:26.7 | Hello everybody, I'm Danny Kelly and this is The View from the Lane, the Athletics Topham-Hodspur podcast on what turns out to be a huge day for the club. |
| 0:31.9 | That's the reason why we've got the full firmament of stars on the podcast today, not just |
| 0:36.8 | myself, of course, but also from |
| 0:38.4 | the athletic Charlie Eccleshare, Jack Pittbrook and James Moore, the A-Team, because as you may |
| 0:44.7 | or may, of course you've noticed, after announcing that the departure of Nuno Spirto Santa this |
| 0:50.1 | morning, it appears, and we'll start here, that Antonio Conte is close to taking over a Spurs manager. |
