| 0:00.0 | The Athletic FFC. Hello everybody and welcome to what I guess will be a very different view from the lane from the previous one, just three and a half, four days ago, whatever it was. |
| 0:32.0 | It's the multi-award winning Topinomersburg podcast from The Athletic. I'm Danny Kelly and joining me today are James Moore |
| 0:38.3 | and Jack Pitt Brook. Jack invented the phrase vibes rollercoaster. It could hardly be more apt than it |
| 0:46.5 | was for those last couple of games. A fantastic victory, chaps for Spurs, in about a million different ways, studded, bejeweled with beautiful goals, |
| 0:58.8 | the right people scoring, all kinds of beautiful things. |
| 1:02.5 | James, let's just start with how much fun it was to be a Spurs fan watching that game. |
| 1:08.0 | At last. |
| 1:09.1 | Yeah. |
| 1:09.8 | I mean, from the very start, really, it did feel like, I mean, look, Dan suggested on Monday |
| 1:14.7 | it might be a good game for Javi Simons just in terms of him having that, like, extra |
| 1:19.0 | nanosecond on the ball. |
| 1:21.0 | And that, I think, kind of proved to be the case. |
| 1:23.4 | And I suspect as he walked off the pitch of half time, he was probably quite perturbed not to have had a hatchet of assists because obviously had the one for Johnson, a very good ball for that Johnson goal, which is an amazing finish as well, by the way. |
| 1:38.5 | But obviously, he could have had two for Colomwani, who, I mean, I think played incredibly well, and that probably became more apparent |
| 1:44.9 | than the second half given the assist that he got. But there was so much to see, so much positive |
| 1:49.5 | from him too. So yeah, like you say, there are a lot of kind of boxes ticked. And I do, I'm sure |
| 1:57.0 | we'll come back around to this. I do think that red card may prove to be quite a big moment in Tottenham's season because it did kind of seem to... I mean, I wasn't there actually, and Jack was, so he can maybe speak pretty much more than I can. But it did kind of seem to galvanise the crowd and the players for like that kind of 10, 50 minute spell where they obviously scored the third and fourth goal completely finished the game off, and it just kind of felt like quite a transformative moment, |
| 2:21.8 | the kind of the sense of injustice around that, and it is injustice, it was nonsense. |
| 2:25.6 | Yes. |
| 2:27.0 | Yeah, I do think it may have been like a kind of unifying force for good. |
| 2:30.5 | Excellent. |
| 2:31.1 | A universal unifying force for good. |
