Well, hello, everybody. It's the Gary Neville podcast

at the end or towards the end of what has been a meaty Premier League weekend. There's been an

0:44.5

awful lot happening, not the least of which occurred here at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium,

0:49.4

a most remarkable game of football in which Tottenham seemed frankly dead and buried 2-il down at half time and rescued a point which has Gary all sorts of ramifications

0:59.0

Tottenham first why not I mean I thought they were done half time not not just done

I didn't think the city were playing brilliantly well. I thought at times they were a little bit complacent. What we've just seen in that second half is a reflection of Tottenham's character that Thomas Frank has got something out of them, simplifying the game. A back four that really should have been caused all sorts of problems but weren't. They really stood up, Archie Gray and I think Pauline on the right side of the defence in particular
