A Tottenham Hotspur podcast by Barney and Dan from all the way down in little ol’ Australia. Follow us on Twitter at @a_bit_spursy, and email us at hello@abitspursy.com. Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/abitspursy.
Dan is joined by Mike from Wicked Spursy to talk leadership, identity and why this Tottenham side feels like a group of kids without a grown-up in the room.
We chat Romero as emotional spark vs leader, life after Ange, Frank’s system (or lack of one), young players learning on the job, and why Spurs still miss someone who can drag them out of trouble.
Some Spurs chat. Some squad-building therapy. Some Vermont snow.

Our first two games of Conte-ball are complete! Barney and Dan chat about the positive signs from our absolutely bonkers win against Vitesse, the hard-fought draw away to Everton, and ponder whether we're now witnessing the realisation of Paratici's master plan that he had all along.

Barney and Dan did in fact watch the second leg of the Europa Conference qualifier against Paços de Ferreira, so they kick things off there before moving on to celebrate another 1-0 win in the league over Watford. They also break down Spurs transfer business now that the Summer window has closed, and look forward to what this all means for the squad in the season ahead. Barney also sends out an open challenge for any FIFA players to take us on during the (now-extended) Melbourne lockdown.

Barney and Dan brush over the Europa Conference League opener against Paços de Ferreira (that they both didn't watch), before celebrating the second win of the season against Wolves. They discuss the pros and cons of potentially signing Adama Traore, Kane's sheepish return, Dele's delightful form, Skipp's new life as a Premier League footballer, and of course the A bit Spurs Medal returns. Also, you should watch the TV show 'Succession' because it's great.

Barney and Dan kick off the new season in high spirits, off the back of Spurs wonderful 1–0 victory over Manchester City. They discuss and praise the excellent performances from the players, and talk about how great it is to have a Spurs team that genuinely seem to care again. They also voice their disapproval at Harry Kane's recent snake-like attitude, and bring back the highly anticipated return of the most prestigious award in football, the 'A bit Spursy Medal'.

Barney and Dan return from their post-season break to discuss Kane's recent naughty behaviour, the binary nature of disagreements from Spurs fans online, new signings, and sad farewells (goodbye Erik, we will always love you). They also try and decide which kit they're most likely to buy this season, and look forward to the Premier League's impending return.

Barney and Dan celebrate the appointment of Spurs' new manager, Nuno Espirito Santo. They talk about the relief from the managerial search ending, the excitement of the impending new season, and whether or not Harry Winks can win back Barney's love by getting a face tattoo and becoming the bad boy of the league. They also chat about Kane and the Euros, and speculate as to whether or not it is actually 'coming home'.

Barney and Dan are back to discuss Spurs' never-ending managerial search, which now seems to be firmly fixated on the Jorge Mendes family tree (or so he would have you believe). They also talk about the prominence of leaks and subsequent decline in football 'journalism', romanticised documentaries, and the impending Harry Kane media firestorm that awaits us after the Euros.

Barney & Dan are back after taking a couple of weeks off during Melbourne's recent lockdown. They discuss the impending arrival of Spurs' new Director of Football, Fabio Paratici, as well as the new manager search, including the near misses of Antonio Conte and 'Daddy' Pochettino. Dan's excited that Spurs may be managed by Paulo Fonseca (a man who once dressed up as Zorro for a press conference), whilst Barney is still trying to figure out how to say his name properly.

So that was the season that was... or wasn't... well either way, Barney and Dan are back to wrap up the 20/21 campaign. They discuss the highs at Leicester, lows at Villa, fantasise about a possible Bergwijn & Levy 'All or Nothing' spin-off sitcom, break down the transfer shots fired by Kane & Co, revisit the club's new manager shortlist, and most importantly present the 'A bit Spursy Medal' to the inaugural winner.

Barney and Dan try to talk about our win against Wolves but get very distracted by all the 'associated news'. They end up breaking down the recent protests, Sty (Sky) Sports reporting, Harry Kane transfer rumours, and at one point Dan makes a comparison to the bipartisan US political system — very highbrow stuff! Oh and this time, Dan had to sing…

Well, that Leeds game stunk. This week Barney and Dan find internal peace via rants about our bacteria-filled squad, VAR's continued shortcomings, standing up for Gio, and the open fire roast of Eric Dier. They also introduce what might be the most prestigious accolade in world football, the much-anticipated 'A bit Spursy Medal'. Oh and Barney had to sing again.

"It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill." Wilbur Wright's quote was proved to be unequivocally correct by the 'ageing' Gareth Bale over the weekend, and as such, Barney and Dan salivate over his performance against Sheffield for the majority of this episode. They also struggle to come to terms with Fleck's petulant stamp on Lo Celso's innocent face, and address the lingering elephant in the room that is the impending Spurs Supporters vs Spurs Board showdown. Barney also caps things off with a wonderfully sung tribute to our man-bunned flying Welshman.

The Dulux Dog is still right! No cup and no Nagelsmann makes Barney a grumpy boy. He and Dan are joined by special guest, Madi, as they discuss the Super League collapse (13.57), Madi’s José fandom (21.59), the Southampton rebound (31.02), Carabao Cup heartbreak (40.50), and what’s next on Spurs’ murky managerial horizon (1:19.15). Madi also shares her dislike for Gareth Bale’s wild mane and inversely proportional infatuation with Ryan Mason’s glorious teeth.

José is out, João is out, and Spurs might be out? (But Danny Rose is back, baby!) Dan and Barney have Chelsea fan Tim back on the pod to dissect the firing of José Mourinho (3.59), temporary hiring of Ryan Mason in time for a Carabao Cup resurgence (29.18), and the cataclysmic money-grab that is the European Super League (40.55). Oh, and they also talk about the Everton game for about 1 minute because it was terrible.

Barney and Dan are joined by their Manchester United supporting friend, Rob, to break down what was another disappointing game for Spurs. They discuss the rising incidents of racism and abuse in football, the inconsistencies of VAR, and comfort each other's Mourinho-induced trauma. Rob also shares his story about the time he met Premier League legend, Eric Cantona.

Yikes! Barney and Dan discuss the fallout from the draw at Newcastle including Jose’s comments, the current lack of identity at the club, and where we all head to from here. They also cover off-field player well-being, and the waking nightmare that is the Europa Conference League.

Barney and Dan didn't know what to do with themselves due to the lack of club football over the international break, so they decided to poll Spurs fans to help create the Spurs 'Team of the Century' (2000/01 season onwards). Almost 2,500 votes later and the results are in! Barney also dusts off his tin foil hat and dives into the various media conspiracy theories regarding Spurs players that have surfaced over the past week.

Dan and Barney are back for a very special episode featuring living Spurs encyclopaedia and 60-year fan, Dan’s dad, Alan. Together they discuss clearing out the deadwood in the aftermath of the youthful and energetic Villa game, whilst also taking a trip down memory lane to reflect on what it's like to be a long-term Spurs fan (and what this means for the future).

Barney and Dan invite Chelsea fan Tim on to the pod, hoping to celebrate Spurs’ emphatic victory in Zagreb, and Chelsea getting dumped out of Europe by Atlético Madrid… the opposite happened, but we still had Tim on anyway as we sifted through what was a very messy week for Spurs.

A bit Spursy is back to discuss Spurs' spursy loss to VARsenal at the Emirates. Barney and Dan try to stay calm while discussing Lamela’s bizarre 50 minutes, Alexandre Lacazette's lack-o-contact, Jose’s weird tactical choices and... Matt Doherty... (p.s. Barney is unwell).

A great week for Spurs. With wins in two derbies, London is (almost) ours. Dan and Barney discuss the victories against Fulham and Palace, as well as 'Carabao Cup Finalists' merchandise. Barney also talks about spitting on the Sky Sports pundits and now feels embarrassed, but Dan won’t edit it out.

It’s the darkest, most pitch-black-est night before the (approaching?) dawn. Spurs have just lost to West Ham and everything feels terrible. Barney and Dan break down the game, complain about Lucas, Dier, and Jose, and get raspy voices because they talked for so long.
