And the No question for that. Well it's quarter past eight on Sunday night. We've just watched the FA Cup semi-final. That's it, Podover. See you next week,

0:38.0

fellas. Me and Tom tried to persuade Ed that we should pretend that we'd lost the recording of this, but he's like,

0:43.6

nope! No, I don't think we have the... It's not so bad that we have to become the come on you spurs podcast.

0:51.5

No, no end there. I mean, I actually think there are very few meaningful

0:55.8

takeaways from this game whatsoever. I think this game almost exists in a bubble

1:00.9

I hope so. I hope there isn't a knock on effect of injuries tiredness

1:06.6

loss of confidence I mean because we've come off to and I mean look I agree with you but I'm just to make a slight counterfactual argument which is to say we've come off two games to which in which the performance level dipped somewhat Southampton
