Summary

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We start with the only thing that’s made us smile all week, an Instagram banger from Olly_101 that basically sums up supporting Spurs right now. Then it’s straight into the West Ham misery, the corporate-seat experience, the inevitable early concession, and the familiar cycle of boos, brief hope, and collapse. We get into Vinai, the club’s “big plan”, whether Frank is just a placeholder for Dortmund, and why the Arteta comparison might be the most terrifying thing of all. Plus Porro’s petulance, the Somerville mismatch, why we didn’t just play Spence, and that weird new feeling where winning might actually be bad news. Learn more about your ad choices.
