I love listening to Spurs podcasts. I listen to 2 or 3 a week. If you thought the FC podcast had a bit too much (how to put it diplomatically)...non-football related content then try the Last Word on Spurs or Hotspurs America. Ive gone off the Spurs Show a bit recently because they keep trying to monetise their services, but its worth giving that a go too.

Regards

Really?

Has there been a change of format over the years?

I understand why the latter half may not be to everyone's taste, but the lads are pretty well behaved for the first part in the main.

Format is still the same serious Spurs match talk until the Windy section, following which all manner of wrong stuff. The current favourite end of pod topic revolves around defecation. I love the TFC pod best one for a real fans feel about Spurs. I’ve also recently got into Last Word On Spurs, far more sensible. Gave up on The Spurs Show years ago and they tended to be far to middle aged old West Stand melters.

Main thing is I don't want either a) a moany vibe or b) some faux-proper pundit nonsense...

I like that fact that it just feels like a standard chat about Spurs down the pub(*).

(*That's the one thing the WHTV divs had right on the few times I'd be shown links of their old shows when they were sat round a table having a few cans; pre their switch to copying the AFTV model and going public.)

Anything but offended, but much of the part 2 stuff leaves me a bit 'meh', but I still end up listening to the end because - tbf - on occasion some of the anecdotes are hilarious!


Props to the boys though, cos I do find somehow the pod helps me get over losses a bit better than I used to.
 
I'm lucky enough to get my fill of Spurs by watching them live, meeting up with like-minded friends and posting on here.
That takes up so much time, I don't really want to get hooked into anything else.
 
I'm coming to the Dortmund social... (I realise I'm hedging my bets somewhat at 3-0 up... so either it's gonna be epic, or horrific! NOTHING in between!!)

See ya'll there!! I'll wear 1882 White Carnations!!!

Does anyone know the name of the bar/ location these are usually held?? Seriously considering watching the City home leg with a mate or two if there's a social on the go for it

Flav Flav , any info on where these are held etc & how frequently? It's tricky to find info on them so it might be worth you and the guys thinking about pinning a link to social events or getting it added onto the homepage/ dropdown etc. If it wasn't for listening to the podcast or reading the occasional post by members I wouldn't even know these existed.

Cheers

Not sure about City yet. Flav might have more details.

They’re ok I guess the fact that everyone’s a Spurs fan has a very comfortable feel without it being too matey. My problem with these things is they’re fucking bad luck we never win when they’re on. Stop the fucking social just have one big double cup winners party at the end of the season

They were talking about that on last pod

If i'm gonna help sully the nice forum they've provided, then I figure, the least I can listen to the pod once a week when doing so.... Seems a bit rude otherwise.
