| 0:07.0 | Hello, brilliant, welcome once again to The View from the Lane, the Athletics |
| 0:27.4 | Top of the Hotspurb podcast, that occasionally wins awards, and always features top people talking |
| 0:33.0 | about the spurs. I'm Danny Kelly, with me today from the Athletic are Jack Pitt, Brook, |
| 0:37.4 | and Dan |
| 0:37.8 | Kilpatrick. So much to get through. What I don't want to do, and of course, you know, |
| 0:44.1 | Dan or Jack may take me down this exact route if they want to. I don't dictate this. |
| 0:48.8 | I don't really want to spend the whole programme talking about Thomas Frank's future because |

| 1:46.3 | everyone talks about the overhead kick in Newcastle. The first header at St. James's Park |
| 1:50.5 | was an unbelievable header. Those two headers are, they're kind of, I was trying to think, I mean, |

| 2:02.6 | It was such a good, it was such a good header and such a good goal. |
