The Athletic FFC.

Hello, everybody and welcome once again to The View from the Lane, the Top

the Most of a podcast from The Athletic.

I'm Danny Kelly and joining me today are from the Athletic, Dan Kilpatrick and Jack

Pipbrook.

I only stumbled there because the next word in my thoughts was

Monaco and already I can't but can't say the word without my mouth going slightly dry.

Look, first of all, let's say it's a slightly extraordinary fact. It's Totten's first

nil-neill-drawer for almost a thousand days. Wow, it's just an incredible thought. I know what you're

thinking. That's because they always concede. Before we get a match report from Elias Burke, who was there,

of course, very much of this parish. Let me get your overall impressions, chaps, about what

happened. Dan, I'll start with you because I want to. The best thing you can say, I think at the moment, is that Spurs are mostly finding a way

not to lose games while playing very poorly. I mean, Villa, they did lose, but that was via

two brilliant goals, so that could easily have been a point or even three and then they got a bit

luckier against monaco while playing poorly again really bailed out by vicario but beyond that i think

it was a pretty poor performance i should say that i actually managed to take my newborn to the pub

in a sling with my cousin for a quick pint in the first half.

And you know when you're watching the game in the pub and you're not, and like the commentary wasn't on as well, which kind of threw me.

So you're not kind of fully engaged and aware with what's going on.

But every time I looked up, you know, between chats with my cousin,

it seemed like Monaco were kind of either storming down the left

or carving through the middle of Spurs and Vicaria is making a save.
