Ben Swart

Listened while recovering from surgery. Really enjoyed it. The topics and takes were all bang on.

Robbie Keane doing the celebration in the 2027 NLD had me.

An elevated, high-angle view from a theatre balcony shows a stage set for a production titled "The Comedy About Spies." The stage features a blue-lit backdrop with a black silhouette of the London skyline, including recognizable landmarks like Big Ben and Tower Bridge. The theatre's interior is ornate, with gold-trimmed balconies and red velvet curtains. In the foreground and to the sides, audience members are seated in rows and in private boxes, with many looking toward the stage or their phones. Large black stage lights and technical rigging are visible above and around the proscenium arch.

Congratulations. It was incredible.

Sides actually hurt from laughter.

Absolutely this. I’m 42. Went to the gym for the first time ever at 40, after an Achilles injury. Suddenly realised I could be strong and actually prevent injuries.

Got myself some weights, a few things to help with stretches. Tiny things every now and again. Massive difference.

Yep we watched Strange World with the kids yesterday. A Disney film, made a couple of years earlier than Elio. The lead character’s son has a same sex crush / relationship. It’s beautiful. Did my 6 and 10 year old need a conversation about it? No, some people are gay, it’s flipping normal.

Agree. Took son to local rugby club, wrong shaped ball, right type of distraction. Highly recommend.

Ange’s ability to motivate the players, first 11, subs, fringe, non starters. It’s what we miss more than any injured player.

Is it time for him?…

It was 6-1 last week. I nearly put £100 on. Wish I had. 3-1 on betfair today.

“He finished 17th”

17th is meaningless. Ange finished 13 points clear of relegation.

13 points clear at the moment is 9th.

We landed 17th in the final two weeks as we desperately kept players fit for a final.

5th in his first season.
A trophy + cup semi in his second.

He did the job well.

They finished 12 points clear of the relegation zone.

12 points clear at the moment is 9th place.

We Dropped from 14th to 17th in the final two weeks as we desperately kept players fit for a European final.

5th in his first season.
A trophy + cup semi in his second.

He did the job well.

Yep.

They loved him.

Since I’m in my May 2025 photo roll.

Four weeks later we sacked him.

They were literally holding a flag with their gaffers face on. Then we sacked him.

Don’t question his attitude.
Question the reason things changed so quickly.

Yes yes yes to all of this. Sorry to jump into the thread. But I love that we can all learn, improve, remember and reignite a skill.

The talent code by Daniel Coyle is a fascinating book on the topic, looking at the science behind what happens in our brains.

Did you?…

To all Spurs fans. Just remember, we’re the best fans in the world and will outlast every player and staff member at the club. Things will get better, and we’ll be there no matter what. 💙 #COYS

Short term positive: Archie Gray. He was fantastic.

Long term: nothing is permanent, everything changes. And it’s often when things feel at their worst that we are most likely to change.

Change will come. And we’ll enjoy our football again.

The number of players losing their heads. The chaos on the pitch. How unprofessional we’ve been.

Is this a symptom of losing Sonny? The opposite of everything I just mentioned.

The calm captain we miss.

This is going to make winning the champions league all the funnier.

I believe (perhaps wrongly) that if Ange had Romero, VdV, Porro, Spence together and fit for the bulk of this season (as they have been) - we’d have been fine. When they were fit defensively we were sound with him.

TF’s system seemed to screw the magic up.

We are going down folks and all I can think is we fired Ange because of 17th and ripped the soul from this club with it.

#coys.

Sorry for your loss Chris. X

Get back in that fuckng stadium. Fuck off. I’m not having that.

Fed up old Spurs fan.

He’s all of us.

One of them is more painful. Much more painful.

I agree. We need a warrior on the pitch to galvanise the players. He’s the closest we’ve got.

Doing my best Kulusevski impression before some minor surgery.

What’s going to be more painful, surgery or Spurs v Palace?

Beautiful morning walk today. Look at that mist!

Our own hands are the biggest problem!!

The only thing keeping Spurs in the league are Spurs.

Ahhhhhh!!!!
