| 0:00.0 | This is The Guardian. |
| 0:08.6 | Hi Bobbans, Max here. |
| 0:10.9 | Barry's here too. |
| 0:13.3 | No, he's not. |
| 0:15.0 | This is a voice note because Thomas Frank's just been set. |
| 0:19.0 | Obviously just after we finished recording the podcast. |
| 0:22.4 | But most of what we say still holds true. |
| 0:26.8 | So bring back Harry Rednapp. |
| 0:31.1 | Here's the Guardian Football Weekly. |
| 0:34.8 | Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. |
| 0:36.9 | Good morning, Newcastle, Dr Totnam here, another defeat for Spurs, and surely you've already heard a voice note from me about Thomas Frank. He may not be the only problem and they have so many injuries, but in a game between two not very good teams, Spurs were considerably worse. How real is the threat of relegation? Do they need some Spurs' DNA? Or would that, by definition, be Spursy? They owed Benjamin Cessco, who denied West Ham victory at the London Stadium. Nuno's men were good, but they got deeper and deeper as the game went on, and Man United probably deserved a point. Insert a comment about that guy's haircut. A brilliant comeback from Leeds at Stamford Bridge, Cole Palmer missing a glorious chance to win it in injury time, while Bournemouth's good run continues winning at Everton. In the EFL, there's Southampton three down at Leicester at half-time and winning it in injury time. We revisit Barry and Cake, answer your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. On the panel today, Jacob Steinberg, welcome. Good morning. Hello, Barry Glendning. |
| 1:28.0 | Hello, Mac. |
| 1:28.8 | And from the racing post, Mark Langdon, welcome. Hi, Mac. Adam says, will Spurs get promoted to the Premier League next season? Lucas says, who will you support two years from now when Spurs and Cambridge face off in League one? Yes, a big win at Crawley last night for the youth. Two for Silly Kai Kai. We'll get to that. |
| 1:43.9 | And I did enjoy the tweet from Alex T.HFC who says, |
| 1:47.7 | Not Cutting My... Crawley last night for the use. Two for Silly Kai Kai. We'll get to that. And I did enjoy the tweet from Alex T-HFC who says, not cutting my hair until Tottenham Hotspur win one game in a row. So there we are. Just three points above Forest and West Ham. So the bottom of the table looks like this. Wills and Burnley, we say, are done. West Ham have 24 from 26, Nottingham Forest, 26 from 25, Tottenham 29 from 26, Leads 30 from 26, and Brighton, 31 from 25. |
| 2:08.8 | Mark, no win in nine in the league, two wins in 18? |
| 2:12.9 | Surely that is it. |
| 2:14.2 | We're waiting for your phone, aren't we? |
| 2:15.8 | We're waiting for your phone in your Tottenham-Oxool WhatsApp groups to ping. Yeah, it would be the most excited any |
| 2:21.2 | Tottenham fans been for quite some time if the corner flag is sort of tweeted out at some |
| 2:29.0 | stage today with a statement. But just the five, I remember one Spurs fans saying he wouldn't cut his hair |
| 2:36.0 | until they had five completed passes in a row. |
