The Lab (Tottenham Hotspur Podcast)

We’re joined by Anatole Pang in Hong Kong to talk through why this Spurs mess feels so much scarier than the 90s. We get into the “oil tanker” problem, the Levy exit and the vacuum it’s left, and why it’s suddenly hard to even work out who’s responsible for what. Then we dig into Romero speaking out, the director of football muddle, and why Spurs recruitment keeps feeling reactive. Finally, we look at takeover rumours, the kind of “tycoons” circling, and the grim question of whether relegation might actually make Spurs more attractive to buy.

We’re joined by Dan KP to talk through the weirdest Spurs season we can remember, from the genuine relegation dread to the strange comfort of just wanting boring mid table life again. We revisit Conte’s outbursts in order, including the Burnley wobble and the infamous Southampton rant, and ask whether he basically saw all of this coming. There’s also some overdue respect for those Bodo Glimt wins, a look at the run in, and a proper chat about who is actually pulling the strings at Tottenham now that Levy’s gone.

We’re joined by Michael Green, an elite-level physio who’s worked in professional football across different clubs and projects, including time with the FA and supporting players through PFA rehab pathways. We get into what actually happens after a “routine knock” turns into months out, why ACL timelines are never as simple as fans want them to be, and why hamstrings are basically their own medical universe. Michael also tackles the big Spurs talking points: pitch surfaces, fixture congestion, intensity of playing style, rotation, injections and why you sometimes need weeks to know if they’ve worked. Plus, the bit nobody talks about enough: how stress, sleep and mental load can quietly push players towards injury.

We’re joined by Luca from JFTV to get the Juventus perspective on Igor Tudor and what Tottenham fans can expect over the coming months. We talk about how Tudor steadied Juve in a difficult spell, his strengths as a man manager, the tactical tweaks he tends to make, and whether he really is the right kind of character to guide Spurs through a tense run in. If you’re wondering who Tudor is and why he might work, this is a great place to start.
