| 0:30.6 | The Top of the Mostberg podcast from The Athletic. |
| 0:37.4 | I'm Danny Kelly, and because church bells are ringing out across the land and every village is festooned with bunting. I'm joined today by |
| 0:38.5 | the full firm. Jack Pitt Brook, Charlie Ekelcher and James Moore are here. Jack, we'll start with |
| 0:44.1 | you as you were privileged enough to be in the King Power Stadium for the game last night, at the end |
| 0:49.4 | of which, probably in a handbrake turn from what you were getting ready to write, you described it |
| 0:53.6 | as a mini-Iaxe. Yeah, it was a little bit like Iax. You know, nothing will ever be Iax. You know, |
| 0:59.3 | that is a unique moment in Tottenham's history and I think in football history. But it did feel |
| 1:06.1 | a little bit like it, you know, that just not just the scoreline, but the unbelievable lateness of it, the sort of implausibility of it, that sense of, you kind of sat, sat there in the press box, seeing all of the Spurs players tearing towards the away end.

| 2:04.8 | Like, I thought it was a brilliant game even at 2-1, even if the wrong team was going to win at |
| 2:09.2 | that point. But the ending was just incredible. Like, it kind of blew the heads off everyone |
| 2:14.7 | there. And I'm sure that everyone who is there or who |
| 2:18.4 | watched it on TV will remember it for an awfully long time. Let me just get to go around and |
