West Ham blinked. Now Spurs have to decide whether they are brave enough to finish the job.
In Episode 99 of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen react to the 1-1 draw with Leeds, the huge impact of West Ham’s defeat, and preview Tuesday night’s massive trip to Stamford Bridge.
We discuss whether the Leeds result was a good point or a missed opportunity, Mathys Tel’s brilliant goal and costly penalty mistake, the latest VAR frustrations, Spurs’ continued home struggles, and why De Zerbi’s unbeaten run still represents real progress.
Then we look ahead to Chelsea. Can Spurs get the point they need to all but secure Premier League survival? Is Stamford Bridge the perfect place to finish the job, or the worst possible venue given Spurs’ history there? We also discuss Kinsky’s form, Maddison’s possible role, Solanke’s return, Romero’s future, and why survival must be treated as a relief — not an achievement.
There’s also a bigger discussion on what must change at Tottenham this summer: ownership, leadership, football people, recruitment, Johan Lange, Sebastian Kehl, squad rebuilds, youth loans, Mikey Moore, and why Spurs cannot afford to ever be in this position again.
