Summary

Host Richard Cracknell was joined by John from Lilywhite Rose and Jason McGovern on this Last Word On Spurs. Tottenham were booed off by their returning fans as Aston Villa fought back from a goal down to win 2-1 and dent Spurs' European hopes. Spurs did briefly give their 10,000 fans something to cheer about after eight minutes as Steven Bergwijn fired home powerfully from just inside the box, but Sergio Reguilon's shocking own goal from a sliced clearance brought Villa level (20). Spurs were woeful for much of the first half as Ollie Watkins capitalised on another Reguilon error for his 14th league goal of the season (39) as the hosts were booed off at half-time following several missed Villa chances. Emi Martinez kept Villa ahead with several saves as Spurs upped the ante in the second half, and though Villa were put under pressure in spurts by the hosts, they had fine chances of their own and were good value for the three points, hitting the post through substitute Carney Chukwuemeka in stoppage time. The defeat summed up the mood around manager-less Spurs, with Harry Kane looking to leave the club, and the hope of any European football next season now under threat. They sit seventh, which would earn them a place in the new Europa Conference League next season. They must beat Leicester on the final day and hope West Ham lose at home to Southampton to move into sixth place and a Europa League spot. Villa stay 11th. #THFC #COYS #TOTTENHAM #HOTSPUR #TOTTENHAMHOTSPUR #SPURS Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:30.0	Hello and welcome to the last word on spurs. I'm Richard Cracknell. I'm kind of
0:59.8	wishing I wasn't at the moment. I'm kind of wishing I wasn't a spurs fan. I'm
1:04.9	kind of wishing a hell of a lot of things at the moment. Where do you start with
1:13.7	all this? I'll tell you where I'll start. I'll start by introducing guests who
1:19.1	despite everything this season, they've been here. They have been here and they've
1:26.6	not let us down, much ever much we've just been let down. Like I was saying, there's a lot of
1:33.4	things at spurs that have let you down this season, a hell of a lot of things, but the guests
1:38.9	on this show really haven't. They've come back week in, week out, showing, show out and try to
1:45.5	offer up some content and some faults and some words. So if nothing else, I will be walking around
1:54.1	a picture, prodding them at the end of the season. That's for sure. First up, the calm, measured
2:02.0	words of one Mr. John Wenham, evening, John, how are we doing? Hey, Richard, doing well, mate. Yeah,
2:09.2	you know, despite spurs once again leaving me in the mood of disappointment, frustration,
2:14.0	and anger really. Tonight was a final chance for the players to show those fans that have
2:18.8	supported them throughout the season without being able to attend, that they could put on a show,
2:23.1	put on a performance, and again, they let down the support. These are the die hard fans,
2:26.8	these are the fans that despite the obnoxious 60 pounds prices went out, bought their tickets,
2:32.9	went and supported the lads, and they've been let down again, and it's just the malaise of the
2:36.9	whole season. Disappointment, after disappointment, after disappointment, and today the players couldn't
