Deja Vu

What a week in the world of Spurs, Kane staying, more deadwood leaving and young bloods arriving (well 2022). More deals on the way as Paratici is still cooking so it will go up to the wire. T
There has also been some actual football played, including Europa Conference League qualification as well as the draw. With Kwabn'a being away this week Andrew is joined by friend of the show Lero  to dissect it all.

It’s only one game but…Spurs are top of the league. The boys are back to discuss the 4-1 win, whether we need a No. 10, if Højbjerg’s passing is underrated and the transfer market. We are top of the league so smile because the sun always shines on the Shelf Side.

Top of the league

Lero, Andrew and Kwab’na jump behind the mics to discuss the draw at the Bridge. Tactics changed, desire was displayed and the refereeing decisions were contested. It was a fiery game and the guys break it all down. The squad, the tactics, the desire and the result. We’re unbeaten so smile because the sun always shines on the Shelf Side

Conte’s Clan Cheat Chelsea

Tottenham Turn Up

Kwab’na and Carl team up to discuss Spurs’ win over Forest. The duo discuss the line up, impact subs and how much the the table means right now. Should we be happy or content with our start to the season? Is Kane back to his best? Does Sanchez deserve more love? Is it time for changes?

Conténtment

Lero has been demanding more. Kwab’na has been displaying diplomacy. The two discuss the derby day draw against West Ham. It wasn’t pretty but we are still unbeaten. What’s missing? Still better than last season and the rest of the transfer window could bring changes. So smile, because the sun always shines on the Shelf Side.

Spluttering Spurs

Lero and Kwab’na jumped behind the mics to talk about beating Fulham. What was the source of our new found dominance? Is rotation the key to success? How good is Richarlison? Oh and City… We are unbeaten and have played decent teams so smile because the sun always shines on the Shelf Side

Lero is happy(ish)

Andrew & Jimmy are joined by Jay from the 0161 as he makes his Shelf Side podcast debut. It's a tough period but the boys try to remain positive. The performance was there, we are 4th and still in the champions league but we blow hot and cold and cannot win away.
The boy's break this down and more! 
We are still in the hunt so smile as the sun always shines on the Shelf Side.

Home Comforts

Dead Man Walking

The long expected Conte grenade was thrown into the dressing room whilst he walked the other way.
An attack on the players, the club & Levy himself???
Some home truths were aired but was the timing correct? Were these the words of a man protecting his reputation or a man deeply frustrated with his boss, the dictator general Levy.
By the time you listen to this  episode, Conte may have well been given his marching orders...

The Conte Grenade (amended)

De Zerbi auditioned for the main part in an ill-tempered, 2-1 Spurs win. Jimmy and AB jump behind the mics to breakdown the game, Son’s legacy, Spurs boardroom moves and getting lucky. Spurs might be doing it the hard way but we are used to that so smile, because the Sun always shines on the Shelf Side

Shooting Seagulls

Jimmy and Kwab’na lead the charge in a way Spurs could only dream of. The team is in disarray. The results are shocking and team is limp but somewhere, in the midst of the madness a change is coming so smile, because the sun always shines on the Shelf Side.

They Can’t Hurt Me.

1 season, 3 managers, no hope. Spurs are in free fall and big changes are needed.

Here we go again

Lero, Jimmy and Kwab’na jump behind the mics to talk about Tottenham‘s latest defeat. They ask why is it so difficult to support the club is Pochettino’s potential betrayal, the worst we have seen?

Can’t take no Moura

Mason led Spurs to a 1-0 win. He was inventive. He was bold. He was unsentimental. But is he ready? Andrew and Kwab’na come together to discuss the win, the lack of director of football links, Kane of course and veganism being fake. We are unbeaten at home in Mason’s (2nd) reign so smile because the sun always shines on the Shelf Side.

Mason’s Way

Kwab’na rants while Andrew listens. The pair unpick the latest episode of a dreadful season for Tottenham Hotspur. Why is Team so soft? Would you stay if you were Kane?

Stung by the Bees

The end of season is here so it means 1 thing, Andrew & Jimmy get behind the mics to discus the Leeds game and the good and bad of last season.
