The Spurs Plus Dave Podcast

Episode 102 - You Should Have Cashed Out

Two matches to look back on this week, containing 9 goals, 4 points for Spurs, last minute disappointment, 7 minutes in heaven and a trio of Richarlison goals.

Much like Spurs themselves we soldier on without our talisman with Elio joining Sarr and Bissouma on the list of Africa-bound absentees. Man-behind-the-scenes and amateur statistician, Petros makes a follow up cameo very much in the scenes, alongside Dags, Socs and Dave.

There's also a preview of Brighton, a transfer round up including an exciting young signing and some tasty Summer rumours.

There is, of course, all the usual nonsense and wild tangents that regular listeners have come to expect. Hope you all enjoy!

Episode 101 - 101 and Out

Aussie's dream is over!

Spurs are down to just one competition left to play for and will sadly have to settle for winning 'the single'.

In a slightly patched up PDP team, in the absence of Elio and Dave, Dags is joined by Socs and the team's long serving producer/sound guy/tech support and occasional editor, Petros - guest on a few episodes of days gone by, who has come armed with his thoughts on Man City, a lot of stats and even some nice words for the pod.

The team weighs in on a disappoint but probably deserved cup exit and looks ahead to the final few days of the January window as well as a clash with Brentford who sadly look to be signing Antonio Nusa despite our lovely discussion of him as a prospect for us!

Join us for our best attempt at a positive podcast despite the early cup exit!

Episode 100 - And It's Live!

Join us for a Plus Dave first in celebration of a century of podcasts - this is our first (and maybe last) ever live streamed podcast, special shoutout to those of you who made it to YouTube to watch live, for the rest of you, we hope you enjoy it here.

On this 100th episode special we look back on our 2-2 draw at Old Trafford, including a few noteworthy performance and debuts. We also look ahead to the Man City cup clash that follows and, once again, take a look at the rest of our season and the league in which none other than Ange Postecoglou sees us as 'title contenders'... exciting stuff!

Hope the finished product is acceptable and hope you all enjoy!

Episode 99 - A Bold Toktik

Welcome back for a long-awaited return of the Plus Dave Podcast as Dags, Elio and Dave convene to discuss a win in the league followed by a win in the cup, but not before we listen live to the FA Cup draw to see who Spurs and Leeds both draw for the 4th round.

This week you will hear our thoughts on wins over Bournemouth and Burnley, a preview of imminent clashes with both Manchester clubs and some thoughts and feelings on an uncharacteristically busy January in the transfer window, with Timo Werner already confirmed.

There's also a short tribute to Eric Dier as he appears to be on his way out of Tottenham and there are more than the average tally of Elio rants/nibbles/meltdowns that the die-hard PDP fans have grown accustomed to.

Hope you enjoy!

Episode 98 - Giant Gaping Højbjerg

Season's greetings to you all and thanks for patiently awaiting the festive return of the PDP. Santa delivered 3 points to Spurs in one of his more generous gifts of the year but it would have taken a Christmas miracle to bring us back from a 4-0 deficit against Brighton in the following fixture.

We analyse both games and take a look at our ever-evolving crisis and the prospect of a challenging January with many players missing and look at how we could shape up by combining the ruins of our current squad with any likely new acquisitions in the mid-season window.

Also on this week's show, a tribute to our departing club legend, former captain and era-defining goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris who prepares to swap N17 for Los Angeles.

As if the episode title wasn't warning enough, as always, listener discretion is advised.

Episode 97 - Getting Agricultural

Spurs string together back-to-back wins for the first since October and all is well again with the world - almost. A full Plus Dave team brings you its analysis this week, looking at the slightly less convincing acquisition of 3 points this time around at the cost of yet more suspensions.

We look over the 2-0 win at Forest with a spotlight on Dejan Kulusevski and another on Yves Bissouma - for different reasons. There's also a look ahead to upcoming fixtures with the seemingly unbreachable Everton visiting next weekend before a trip down to Brighton.

There are more than the usual number of random tangents regular listeners have become accustomed to this week and Elio's voice battles bravely against a sore throat, managing, incredibly, to talk just as much as he usually does despite sounding like the lovechild of Sean Dyche and Marge Simpson.

Episode 96 - Turning a Corner

We are so back! Tottenham come away with an impressive win and an even more impressive performance against highly-fancied Newcastle (albeit a tired and depleted version) to end our run of 5 games without a win.

With no Elio this week, a returning Dags is joined by Socs and Dave to discuss, arguably, our best outing of the season so far (as well as a slightly less exciting match against West Ham a few days earlier).

It's one of those games where we cant help but go through player by player and give them their due adoration so be prepared for that. There's also a lengthy discussion about the Cuti dilemma, a look ahead to the rest of our busy December schedule and a strange amount of Harry Maguire chat.

Episode 95 - Davies’ Flying Header of Destiny

With Dags off sunning himself in Barbados, Elio takes over as host for the post-match analysis of Spurs' death-defying draw at the Etihad against last year's treble winners, Manchester City. As well as taking a few moments to look at the controversial refereeing decision at the end, and just how little Socs actually cares after a long history of Pedro Mendes and Lasagne-Gates in his Spurs watching career. We also look forward to West Ham's Cup Final against us next week and the looming threat of the dangerous resurgent Newcastle United.

Episode 94 - Ham, Bacon and Pork Chop

Spurs lose again but at least this time we lose with style. Join an unusually chirpy 3-man team, given the circumstances, this week as we discuss what is our third defeat in a row and quite possibly the third of four with Man City looming.

Elio takes a week off but was still kind enough to send in a few clips of his thoughts on Sunday's loss, while Dags, Socs and Dave discuss a match that many feel could and perhaps should have been a home win, showing plenty of positive signs - not least, a particularly attacking and exciting lineup.

Also this week we give a short tribute to Spurs hero, Terry Venables who sadly passed hours before the Villa game and of course we have a brief preview of the next match with Man City on Sunday.

Episode 93 - The Nadir is Darkest Before the Dawn - with Special Guest, Windy from The Extra Inch

This week the Plus Dave welcomes an extra special guest - a familiar voice to some of you no doubt, and one of the founding fathers of Spurs podcasting - host of the excellent The Extra Inch Spurs podcast and huge inspiration for the PDP - Chris 'Windy' Miller.

Windy joins Dags, Elio, Socs and Dave in a fully loaded team tasked with keeping you all entertained this international break. In this special episode, we take a chance to look back over life under Ange so far, how the reality has strayed from the expectation, what the long term future might hold for this exciting squad and what the near-term future might bring in the midst of our mini crisis.

We talk tactics, squad depth, signings and the long game in this mid-season debrief. We hope you enjoy and, if you haven't already, please do check out The Extra Inch on whatever platform you use and follow the team @TheExtraInch and Windy himself @WindyCOYS.
