Three times in four games,

Spurs have scored four goals, four times in six games and five times in four games, Spurs have scored four goals, four times in six games, and five times in eight games.

Gareth Bale has six and six, Harry Kane has five and seven, and spurs are becoming the attacking machine we always dreamed of.

It makes you wonder what the fuss was all about.

Hello, my name is Jack Pitbrook and you're listening to The View for the Lane podcast. I'm joined today by James Moore. James, you must be absolutely

buzzing after another destruction of Crystal Palace yesterday evening at White Hart Lane. Yeah,

I don't know what people were complaining about. I mean, what was all that negativity a few weeks

ago from people? It seems misplaced. Baff Baffling negativity. Yeah, it's really good. I really enjoyed the game. Just as a sort of 90 minutes in, forget all the context, just as a 90 minutes of football in isolation. I mean, I've seen a few conversations in the last couple of weeks about, in fact,

it may have been you that tweeted it, apologies if it was, but someone tweeted how many genuinely good and entertaining games have you seen in the last few weeks, and the answers were generally not many. But I actually thought that was a good, not just because Spurs well, I thought it was, you know, I thought Palace were pretty good, actually. I think they could probably feel a slightly hard done to

to come away with a four one defeat.

It's good to get a little bit of mild peril in there. I know that makes it sound a bit like a kind of kids film, but it's quite good to kind of have that moment in the second act where it looks like it's all going to go wrong. and, you know, I can't be given an example from a kids' film now.

Like in Superbad, when they're not going to make it to the party?

Yeah, like that. That's the first film you thought, especially when I was talking about kids films, and that film has a lot of indoor language in it. I just love Super Bad. It's sort of my reference for anything like this. It's very funny. It might be one of the last DVDs I haven't bought. Don't need it on DVD.

It's always on television.

It's literally always on television.

Is it one of those ITV3 ones? I think so, yeah, yeah. Hot Fuzz. You know, Hot Fuzz is always on ITV3 or ITV 4. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is really one for the international audience again. Anyway, yeah, very good performance.

I very much enjoyed it.

It was good to see,

I'm always encouraged when I see Spurs

winning game when there has been that bit of adversity. Anyway, yeah, very good performance. I very much enjoyed it. It was good to see,

I'm always encouraged when I see Spurs win a game
