  The Originals: Tottenham Forgot to Shoot — 39 Touches, No Goals vs Everton (Boos, Richarlison & a Banned Prediction) 15.09.2026 37min

  Check out 82nd Percentile here and grab one of the final founders spots before they are gone - https://www.patreon.com/cw/82ndPercentile Tottenham had 39 touches in Everton's box and forgot to shoot — how does that even happen? DJ's diagnosis: Spurs are trying to score the perfect goal when literally any goal would do. Jim, Johnny and DJ work through the 0-0 with more affection than fury: the opening 20 minutes that had Jim welling up at the stadium (in a good way, mostly), the boos at full time and whether they were fair, the freeze-frame that proves Fernandes was secretly playing right back all along, and the members' question on whether Spurs should just pay Richarlison to go away. Then it's off to Anfield in the Carabao Cup, where Jim has banned all 0-0 predictions and DJ responds with a Joel Matip own-goal prophecy that must be heard to be believed. Also featuring: correct Greggs sausage roll storage technique, a Dubravka shirt spotted in the wild, and the launch of The 82nd Percentile — our new data deep-dive show with JJ, Enya and DJ. First 100 sign-ups get it for £5/month for life. Members' questions this week from Mr Pipe, Linda and Jonathan — Mayling and Ross, you're first up next time. Considered, warm, panel-honest.

  The 82nd Percentile: Tottenham 0-0 Everton — Why Aren't Spurs Scoring & Is Tonali Really To Blame? (Archie Gray Inverting, Van Hecke, Moyes' Tweak & The 82nd Percentile Launch) 14.09.2026 50min

  You can become of the 100 founding members here: https://www.patreon.com/cw/82ndPercentile The first 100 founders will get a foudners price of £5 per month for life. It goes up to £8 for anyone after the first 100. Why aren't Tottenham scoring, and is Sandro Tonali really to blame for it? A licence coach JJ and professional analyst Enya Collins say the data and the eye test agree — and it isn't Tonali. Jim, Enya and JJ walk through Spurs 0-0 Everton from the system up: Archie Gray inverting from right back, Mateus Fernandes dropping into a back three, Van Hecke's progressive passing, and the half-space run that was on all first half. Enya's numbers show Tottenham won possession, progressive passes and touches in the box — 28 of them — and still lost on xG. JJ explains the David Moyes tweak that shut the midfield down after the break. Then Jim asks the panel to tell him straight whether the £100m midfielder is the problem. The answer involves the 84th percentile, seventh in the Premier League, and a comparison with Rice and Caicedo you'll want to hear before the next Tonali pile-on. Where the eye test meets the data.

  The Analyst: Solanke & Marmoush Together? — The Fix For Tottenham's Goal Drought? (Mudryk Injury News, Everton Predictions & The Number 10 Problem) 09.09.2026 29min

  Is Solanke with Marmoush behind him really the fix for Tottenham's goal drought? Professional analyst Enya says the pairing everyone wants costs Spurs more than it adds — and that Marmoush can score 20 this season. Jim and Enya walk through what a De Zerbi number nine actually does, Marmoush's first games in detail, why the missing piece is a creative 10 rather than a target man, and the breaking Mudryk injury news that changes the winger picture. Then a full Everton preview: cracking the Moyes low block, score predictions, and Tel's breakthrough moment. They also get into whether De Zerbi has quietly lost authority over team selection — and once you hear the biomechanics discussion, you'll understand why Spurs players are suddenly sipping cherry juice.

  The Originals: Tottenham ARE Improving (The Handball Truth, Gallagher vs Fernandes & Everton Priorities) 07.09.2026 49min

  Why haven't Tottenham scored in three games — and is the Forest handball row hiding the real story? DJ rewatched all 31 of Conor Gallagher's passes and says the numbers change the Fernandes debate entirely. Jim, Johnny and DJ walk through the goalless draw at Nottingham Forest: the disallowed handball and the Kudus penalty nobody's discussing, Van de Ven's captain-level display, the Gallagher vs Mateus Fernandes trade-off with JJ's coaching verdict, Tottenham's medical overhaul and the rotation it's about to bring, and whether De Zerbi should prioritise Everton or the Carabao Cup trip to Liverpool. Jim also lays out his theory on refereeing bias against Spurs — and once you've heard the Arteta comparison, you'll struggle to unsee it. Members' questions this week from Neil, Lee, Stefan, Roston, Howard, Kevin and Sean — Marmoush and Solanke answers coming in the Everton preview. Considered, warm, panel-honest.

  A Coach's View: The One Thing Tottenham Must Fix — Are Spurs Actually Improving? (Tonali's Step Forward, Van Hecke & Gallagher at 10) 07.09.2026 24min

  What's the one thing Tottenham must fix before this season's up? A Licence coach JJ says the flaw runs through the entire attack — and no signing solves it. Jim and JJ walk through the Nottingham Forest performance and whether Spurs are genuinely improving under Roberto De Zerbi: Sandro Tonali's step forward and the criticism JJ calls unfair, Conor Gallagher's underrated work in the 10, Van Hecke's growth since Brentford, and the Marmoush decision that captures everything in one moment. JJ then opens the coaching manual — how professionals actually train this, from individual video sessions to 11v11 scenarios — and you'll want to hear why he thinks it can't be rushed before Everton. Dedicated to Cyprus Spurs and Algarve Spurs this week. Tactical, honest, from the training pitch. A Coach's View. #KeepItLilyWhite #OhSo33 Learn more about your ad choices.

  The Analyst: Mudryk To Tottenham — How Good Is He Really? (The Underrated Loan Deals, Tosin & Nottingham Forest Preview) 02.09.2026 35min

  How good is Mykhailo Mudryk really — and what are Tottenham actually getting? Professional analyst Enya has run his data profile, and it doesn't say what the jokes say. Jim and Enya close out the window: the De Zerbi–Mudryk history at Shakhtar, the truth about the doping ban and the two lost years, the £75m option ceiling, why Spurs' confidence-rebuild signings keep failing, what Chelsea fans really think of Tosin, the Danso exit, and the window's most underrated success — Mikey Moore's loan to Köln and Sosa's to Porto. Then the Nottingham Forest preview, powered by Gradient: Forest's long-ball, low-possession style, the corner threat, and why Spurs' away record inverts the usual disadvantage. Both make a prediction — but one of them goes against their own head, and you'll want to hear the case. Data first, feelings second.

  The Originals: Tottenham's Transfer Window Rated — How Good Was It? (Every Signing Reviewed, The Mudryk Debate & Our Final Score) 01.09.2026 56min

  How good was Tottenham's transfer window really? The Originals go signing by signing and land on a final score — and the deal that splits the panel is the one Chelsea couldn't wait to be rid of. Jim, Si and DJ walk the whole window: the Fernandes–Tonali midfield transformation, whether the defence actually got worse after Kevin Danso's exit and the unfilled right-back gap, Marmoush and Savio reshaping the attack, and the Mudryk loan from Chelsea — including the De Zerbi history that explains why Spurs did it. Favourite signings of the summer, best value among the free transfers — Robertson, Senesi or Dúbravka — and the window ratings close the pod (the panel can't agree whether deadline day costs it a full point). Plus Spurs' two fastest players so far this season — not who you think. Considered, warm, panel-honest. The Originals. #KeepItLilyWhite #OhSo33 Learn more about your ad choices.

  Ndiaye, Marmoush & the Newcastle Loss | Coach, Analyst & Fans Break It All Down | Tottenham Podcast 31.08.2026 1t 4min

  Iliman Ndiaye to Tottenham: a full scout report on the Everton winger from a professional coach and a professional analyst — his dribbling, his real numbers, and whether he's Spurs' missing number 10. Plus Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle reaction: the xG data behind the defeat, Omar Marmoush's debut, Tonali's struggles, Mateus Fernandes' rise, Kevin Danso's exit talk and what the final signing of the window should be. The panel also debates whether Maddison still starts when fit, the right-back problem, and whether anyone's season prediction survives one point from two games. With JJ (@TheFullCo) and Enya Collins. A couple of production notes. Jim asks listeners for feedback on "this new format" but the episode never names the show — if this panel (coach + analyst + fanalysts) is becoming a recurring series alongside The Originals, it wants a series name in the title from episode two onwards so it builds its own search equity. And the Danso section is worth a standalone clip: "Danso wants out — should Spurs care?" will do numbers on Shorts/TikTok this week while his move is live, with JJ's "it could have been a little bit better from him" line as the hook.

  Tottenham vs Newcastle Preview: Predicted Lineup, Tonali vs His Old Club & Enya's Data Report 28.08.2026 21min

  How will Tottenham line up against Newcastle, and what does the data say about Spurs' chances? Jim and professional analyst Enya pick their predicted XI: the Udogie vs Robertson call, Van Hecke at centre back, Tonali and Bentancur as the pivots, and Solanke vs Marmoush up front. Enya's match report breaks down the xG prediction, why Newcastle's counter-attacks and aerial duels are a tough matchup, where Tottenham can hurt them through the buildup funnel, and the Elanga problem. Plus Sandro Tonali facing his former club and both score predictions before Enya heads to the match. #KeepItLilyWhite #OhSo33 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  The Originals: Spurs 5-1 Charlton, Newcastle Preview, Marmoush Debut And A Bold Aston Villa Prediction (Fernandes, Tonali, Savinho) 27.08.2026 40min

  Are Tottenham finally starting to look like Tottenham again? Jim, Si and DJ walk through the 5-1 Charlton win, preview Newcastle at home, and drop one of the boldest Aston Villa predictions of the season. Fernandes was the transformational player, not Bergvall. Bentancur behind him with Tonali could finally give Spurs the midfield trio the last two seasons have been begging for. De Zerbi's public message about Tonali and Senesi's fitness — decoded live on tape. And why Marmoush is closer to Yao Pedro at Brighton than Danny Welbeck as a facing-forward number nine. Plus the Newcastle preview — where the battle of the wings is won or lost, whether Newcastle's own transition changes the calculus, and why the Jed Spence-shaped hole at right back matters if Porro isn't fit for ninety minutes. Have Spurs forgotten what it's like to be a home fortress? Si on the £500-per-win season ticket price last season. And the away-dressing-room "downgrade" story — smart marginal gain or gimmick? Score predictions from Johnny (via WhatsApp), Si, DJ and Jim close the pod. Then hot takes: DJ says Savio scores more for Spurs this season than in his entire Manchester City career, Si says Coventry stay up, and Jim goes properly bold on Aston Villa — bottom eight, Emery leaves after a Champions League semi-final.

  The Originals: Reacting To Tottenham's 3-0 Loss At Brentford (Panel On De Zerbi, Van Hecke, Bergvall, Charlton Preview And More) 24.08.2026 43min

  Should Roberto De Zerbi get a pass for Tottenham's 3-0 defeat at Brentford? The Originals panel splits — and it's a proper split. Jim, Si, Stu, Johnny and DJ walk the opening-day loss with fresh eyes. What went wrong tactically — Kinsky's parry, Van Hecke's stepping-out habit (same one as vs Hoffenheim), Bergvall's press without triggers, Gallagher running like a chicken with his head cut off. Why every Spurs attacking moment came from Tell and Robertson on the left. Why the corner Spurs conceded from had six players marking three at the front post. Plus Si's soon-to-be-quoted "our possession is like my gym membership — it exists but doesn't do a lot of good." Stu's "119 points from 105 games" stat. DJ's tactical read on why he won't give De Zerbi a pass after this if it happens again. And Jim's defence — Spurs actually got the fifth-most points in the league across De Zerbi's seven-game stint at the end of last season. Panel Charlton away predictions: DJ 1-0, Si 2-0, Johnny wins on penalties, Stu 2-1, Jim 3-1. Members read on tape: Ivor, Mr Pipe, Sean Howe, Stefan, Howard and Lee. Considered, warm, panel-honest.

  A Coach's View: Why Tottenham Lost 3-0 To Brentford (Kinsky, Van Hecke, Bergvall And The Soul Of The Football Club) 23.08.2026 36min

  Why did Tottenham lose so convincingly to Brentford? A Licence Coach JJ says the scoreline actually flatters Spurs. Post-match tactical debrief with JJ (The Full Co). Kinsky's parry frame by frame — the lower-hand buckle that turned a save into a goal. Van Hecke's Spurs debut against a dynamic Brentford front line — the discipline still to learn as Romero's replacement. Bergvall's pressing problem — no triggers, no cover, and the warning sign JJ spotted at Brentford's second goal. Plus: why Sean Robertson wasn't meant to be the starting left back, the wide-vs-central-players disconnect that left the whole team disjointed, and whether the returning Van de Ven, Fernandes, Savinho and Marmoush actually fix any of this. JJ says it's deeper than personnel. And the optimistic close: why this humbling might be exactly the reset Spurs needed, and Roberto De Zerbi's "soul of the football club" callback.

  The Originals: Marmoush & Savinho To Tottenham — Are Spurs Top Four Now? (Panel Predictions, The Spence Departure & Brentford Preview) 21.08.2026 37min

  Are Tottenham top four with Marmoush and Savinho? The Originals panel goes on record — and Jim goes further. Jim, Stu, Johnny and DJ walk the whole window: the double swoop from Manchester City (Omar Marmoush and Savinho), the Djed Spence departure to Inter that's still hurting, the Tonali–Fernandes midfield already looking the part, and where all this actually lands Tottenham in the table. Johnny: top-four hope. Stu: outside Champions League Europe. DJ: four-to-seven range. Jim: alone on the title hill. Panel score predictions for the Brentford away opener close the pod (one panellist has gone with 5-5 — you'll want to hear why). Plus the injured Spurs attackers debate — Mohammed Kudus, James Maddison, Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski — who comes back best? The squad-depth walkthrough after Les Binder's question. And Stu on Djed Spence arriving in Italy wearing a puffer jacket in summer.

  Marmoush, Savinho and Spurs' New Ceiling (the double City deal, how the front four fits, title talk) 20.08.2026 30min

  Spurs are in talks with Manchester City for both Omar Marmoush and Savinho so is it crazy to say this team can challenge at the very top? Analyst Enya Collins, A-licence coach JJ (The Full Co) and in-house tactician DJ join Jim to find out. Where Marmoush actually plays best and what the data says: elite link play, the half-space pockets he loves, the aerial weakness, and why the first few games might underwhelm. Why "not good enough for City" is football's laziest narrative. Then the fun part: how a front four of Marmoush, Savinho, Gakpo and Kudus fits in one team, Kudus training at ten, a possible 2-2-2 shape, the Maddison 90-minute stat that stunned the panel, and the ceiling debate that splits the room — with one panellist promising a data thread to back the optimism.

  The Analyst: The No 10 Problem That Could Unravel Spurs' Season (Maddison, Gallagher, El Khannouss, De Ketelaere) 18.08.2026 23min

  What's the one problem that could unravel Spurs' season — and why has nobody noticed it? Former professional player and analyst Enya Collins joins Jim with the data on the gap hiding in an otherwise brilliant summer. The 33/33/33 Maddison reality — injured, finding form, or brilliant — and why his reputation grows the longer he's out. Kulusevski's return from major injury and why recurrence risk matters. The case for Conor Gallagher: the "creation cliff" when he plays, versus what he genuinely grades well at, and how De Zerbi has always used wildly different profiles at ten — the one common trait being ball retention. Then the transfer search: why almost nobody in Europe fits the profile, and the three realistic targets — Bilal El Khannouss (now genuinely linked with Spurs), Charles De Ketelaere, and Romano Schmid — plus the homegrown catch that complicates replacing Maddison. All data from Gradient Sport — free site and app, well worth exploring. A collaboration with Enya Collins. #KeepItLilyWhite #OhSo33 Learn more about your ad choices.

  A Coach's View: Our Honest 2026/27 Spurs Prediction (De Zerbi's system, Gakpo and Savinho, the squad audit) 17.08.2026 23min

  One week until the Premier League returns — so where do Spurs really rank? Professional A-licence coach JJ joins Jim for a full pre-season audit and a final league prediction for 2026/27. What preseason actually revealed about Roberto De Zerbi's system: the buy-in across multiple different elevens, the possession and rotation patterns embedding, and the counterattack vulnerability still to fix. Then the squad, position by position — Kinsky as number one, Robertson and the left-back picture, the Tonali and Fernandes double pivot, Archie Gray's maturity, and the honest verdict on Solanke and Richarlison up front. The big question: if Gakpo and Savinho arrive, do Spurs move from a fifth-to-eighth team into the Champions League places? Plus breakout watch on Mikey Moore and Luka Williams-Barnett, the rivals wildcard from City to Carrick's United, and JJ's final prediction.

  A Coach's View x The Analyst: Football's Three Biggest Misconceptions 16.08.2026 26min

  A first-time crossover: former professional player and analyst Enya Collins joins professional A-licence coach JJ (The Full Co) to bust the three biggest misconceptions in football — all linked back to Tottenham Hotspur. Myth 1: confidence is not talent. Why a player in a broken environment isn't a bad player, the "mentality monster" myth, and how coaching staffs actually build confidence — plus the Levy and Ndombele story. Myth 2: you can't just move a player to a new position. Why "put Romero at six" doesn't work, what coaches mean by giving players "pictures", Enya's own forced winger stints, and our favourite forced switches from Porro to Bernardo Silva at left back. Myth 3: injury timelines are almost always wrong. The Kulusevski case, why the media quotes the minimum of every recovery range, the hidden two to three months of match fitness after returning to training, and the psychological side of coming back that nobody measures.

  A Coach's View: What's Working in De Zerbi's Pre-Season (Getafe verdict — Tonali, Van Hecke, Archie Gray) 09.08.2026 22min

  Which players have adapted to Roberto De Zerbi's system and which areas still need work? Professional coach and A licence holder JJ breaks down the Getafe friendly and what it tells us about Spurs' pre-season. The vertical play is back, Kinsky is clipping balls over the press, and Archie Gray got a live coaching lesson from De Zerbi on the touchline. But the creativity in the final third? Still a work in progress.

  A Coach's View: The False Nine Explained (and what it means for Osimhen, Gakpo and Solanke) 07.08.2026 22min

  Everyone's arguing about which striker Spurs should sign. Jim and A-licensed professional coach JJ (The Full Co) ask a better question: does De Zerbi's system want an out-and-out number nine at all? They break down what a false nine actually does — pinning defenders, posting up, dropping into pockets to bring runners in — and why the traditional penalty-box striker is disappearing from the top of the game. Plus: how De Zerbi manipulates opposition presses, why Spurs looked like they had three number 10s in pre-season, the Gallagher trade-off, and how recruitment has swung from athleticism to technicians — with Osimhen, Gakpo and Solanke all viewed through that lens.

  The Analyst: Every Spurs Signing Rated with New Data (Video Recommended) 05.08.2026 23min

  New partnership, new data. Jim and analyst Enya Collins put the whole Spurs defence and the new midfield through Gradient Sport's event-based grading — every action scored on its own merit rather than against other players. Danso grades as a proper box defender, Van de Ven's numbers explain why he needs a high line, Senesi makes a surprising case to start, and Van Hecke barely has a weakness. Then the flags: Robertson's game is built on athleticism at exactly the age it fades, and a pattern emerges suggesting Spurs' recruitment has been over-indexed on athleticism for years. Plus the verdict on the new midfield: why £100m Tonali and Mateus Fernandes grade as a genuinely complementary duo. Data by Gradient Sport.
