| 0:07.5 | Hello, brilliant. And welcome. Hello everybody and welcome once again to The View from the Lane, the Athletics podcast about Topham Hotspur Football Club. |
| 0:29.2 | I'm Danny Kelly. With me this morning, full crew. Lots to talk about. We've got Jack Pitt Brook, |
| 0:35.6 | Elias Burke, who was at the game last night, and Jay Harris coming in live and direct from the Afcon in Morocco, where get out your tiny fiddles, he tells me that the weather's been terrible the whole time he's been there for the tournament in North Africa. The defeat last night at Bournemouth, we all talked about the game, but so much has |
| 0:59.4 | happened since the game that I think we should start with the reaction from fans, from players, |
| 1:07.3 | of course, not from anybody higher up at the club. |

| 1:45.4 | than it has been in recent times. At the end of the game, several Spurs players, senior Spurs |
| 1:50.0 | players, parts of the leadership group in some cases, were seen in conversation, if that's the right |
| 1:55.2 | word, alias. What happened at the end between the fans and the players? Obviously, it all came to |
| 2:00.5 | ahead at the end, but I think you can probably go back to a moment |
| 2:03.1 | before the game where those splits probably even became even more stark than they have |
| 2:08.4 | been even in recent weeks. |
