YE1 Spurs

Last weekend's bitterly disappointing North London Derby defeat might've been an unwanted bump in the road but with 11 games until the World Cup-enforced break Spurs sit 3rd in the Premier League and on course to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages. Ian is back alongside four of the YE1 regulars, plus a contribution from commentary royalty! Listen to hear who, or skip to the final quarter-hour to find out instantly. Twitter: @YE1Spurs

YE1 Spurs is back for the 2022/23 season and with an unrivalled degree of optimism shared by almost every single Tottenham fan! Ian, Sim and Peter begin by paying homage to the victorious Lionesses before forecasting Antonio Conte's first full season at White Hart Lane, fresh off the back of Saturday's opening day mauling of sorry Southampton. Enjoy!! Twitter: @YE1Spurs

Ian, Casper, Peter and Sim revel in the joy of Tottenham's qualification for next season's Champions League, and a sixth consecutive season finishing above the Goons. Twitter: YE1Spurs

It's crunch time! Five games to go in the Premier League, and it's a straight shoot-out for 4th between our beloved Spurs, and that bunch from Woolwich. Ian, Sim, Casper, Peter and Fletch are in the chairs tonight to look ahead to a make or break few weeks. Twitter: @YE1Spurs

Thankfully the title of the podcast does not describe any of Spurs' current players as, at the moment, it is all smiles as far as the YE1 crew are concerned. On this international break edition, Ian and the team assess the topsy-turvy form from our last pod up until back-to-back wins over Brighton and West Ham! We also pay homage to Jermain Defoe after he announced his retirement at the age of 39, and look back at some of our club's greatest January signings, as well as players we wish had turned out in a Tottenham shirt, and have we progressed as a club since football shut down two years ago amid the coronavirus pandemic. Twitter: @YE1Spurs

YE1 is finally back for a first pod of 2022, as Ian, Sim, Peter and Fletch try to make sense of last week's consecutive home losses to Southampton and Wolves. Tune in for Peter's appearance on national radio after Sunday's defeat, an assessment of Spurs' record so far at the 'new' stadium, and the debut of our new roleplay (not "foreplay") feature! Twitter: @YE1Spurs

What an honour to welcome Fabrice Muamba to YE1 Spurs! This is a man whose affinity with Tottenham Hotspur, White Hart Lane, and the N17 fan base needs absolutely no introduction; Fabrice speaks excellently in this edition of the podcast on the appointment of Antonio Conte, his memories playing against Spurs, our beloved former stadium, a missed opportunity for England during Euro 2020 and much much more - enjoy!! Twitter handles: @YE1Spurs @IANWALLIS40

Ian Wallis and the YE1 crew reflect on Nuno Espirito Santo's ultra-short reign as Tottenham Hotspur head coach, before attempting to forecast the roller coaster ahead under the undisputedly world-class Antonio Conte. Listen for top notch analogies, intelligent comment and great chemistry from the most generationally mixed Spurs podcasters out there!

It's three wins out of three in the Premier League for Nuno Espirito Santo - quite the perfect start for our new gaffer - but what challenges will a trilogy of London derbies this month bring? And do Spurs have it harder than anyone else in the context of capital clashes? Three really is the number, as father and son pairings Ian & Casper Wallis, Simeon & Peter Wright, and Lol & Arthur Hammond discuss those fixtures against Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal, plus we ask can the Conference League in fact be embraced? And what did everybody make of the transfer window just gone? All that and more on September 2021's YE1 Spurs! Twitter: YE1Spurs

Simple question to begin with! After Nuno Espirito Santo's reign as Tottenham boss got off to the perfect start with last Sunday's win over our transfer window tormentors Manchester City, YE1 asks whether Heung-Min Son's goal completed the best opening day in Spurs-supporting memory. Elsewhere, Ian and the team assess which younger lads might have a breakthrough season, and attempt to forecast how the Harry Kane transfer saga might be resolved. Twitter: @YE1Spurs

Wolverhampton Wanderers fans Lee Price and his son Billy Price join Ian Wallis and the team for their insight into supporting a Nuno Espirito Santo team, as the Portuguese manager embarks on a first campaign in the Tottenham hot seat. Also recently put into post at Spurs is technical director Fabio Paratici; we ask how he may or may not be different from previous incumbents to similar roles at the club, and there's also a look back at some projections made for the future in the first ever YE1 Spurs podcast, which was recorded two years ago this month. Twitter: @YE1Spurs

DJ Lol Hammond makes his YE1 Spurs debut as he joins regulars Ian, Simeon, Casper, and Peter following the close of an extremely underwhelming 2021/21 season. In this edition, the podcast gets into the mixed feelings in witnessing UEFA Europa Conference League qualification, as well as an assessment of Ryan Mason's seven-match tenure as head coach, winners and losers of the season, and where we go regards the next Tottenham manager. Twitter: @YE1Spurs

YE1 Spurs presents the second instalment of Spurs Over 34 Years, as we continue to round up almost three months-worth of Tottenham Hotspurs season review podcasts, each recorded during the first Coronavirus-induced UK-wide lockdown, and the suspension of English professional football between 13th May and 17th June 2020.  Part two is just as far-reaching as part one, but delves into much more detail regards the three ownerships the club has seen between 1986 and 2020; Irving Scholar, Lord Alan Sugar, and Daniel Levy/ENIC are all the subject of discussion and fact-recollection during this hour-long episode. While on the field of play, things aren't too inspiring at times, but some major success is recalled, including Paul Gascoigne's legendary free-kick against Arsenal in the 1991 FA Cup semi-final, and an honourable inclusion - though out of the 34-year time remit - for Micky Hazard's man of the match displays to bring the UEFA Cup to White Hart Lane in 1984, with audio from the great man himself! Twitter: @YE1Spurs

Recorded immediately after Wednesday's narrow 2-1 home win over Southampton, which saw the Ryan Mason interim era begin positively, Ian, Sim and Peter spend the bulk of this edition of YE1 Spurs chewing over Tottenham Hotspur's attachment to the almost instantaneously defunct European Super League.

After losing leads against Arsenal and Dinamo Zagreb in successive matches, though we can't forget resurrecting some form at Villa Park on Sunday, YE1 Spurs anchorman Ian Wallis swore that this podcast must focus on positivity - Mainly, the battles left to fight in the Premier League's top four race and next month's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City. Ian, Simeon, Casper, Peter, and returning guest Chris Smith of the BBC take a look at our chances heading into the season's final 10 fixtures - However, today's YE1 crew sadly could not resist a brief chat midway through about Gareth Bale's troublesome comments while on Wales duty. Twitter: @YE1Spurs

20 years ago this month, February 2001, Daniel Levy took his position as chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, and has overseen five Champions League campaigns, including a final in 2019, and a historic move from White Hart Lane to the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Though there is margin for criticism, with more decades spent at the helm than major trophies lifted by the team. Ian, Sim, Peter, and Fletch assess 20 years of Levy and ENIC, plus a special contribution by The Price of Football podcast co-host Kieran Maguire. Twitter: @YE1Spurs

YE1 Spurs (formerly The Year Ends In 1) enters 2021 with its original values well and truly intact - That being a broad age range, spanning from 12 to 63 years old.Episode 18 assesses how much to make of our seven-match unbeaten run, which dates back to Leicester City's comfortable win at the Lane on 20th December 2020, what to do with Dele [?], plus five reasons why players commonly leave Spurs, and whether or not we're lagging behind our Premier League rivals in regard to youngsters breaking into the first team and impressing.Twitter: @YE1Spurs

After football had paused in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ian Wallis, Simeon Wright, and Peter Wright took on a challenge to review as many Tottenham Hotspur seasons as they could, until our beloved team were back playing.YE1 Spurs began its descent on 23rd March 2020 with a summary of the, at the time, incomplete 2019/20 season, then did the same right the way back to 1986/87, published on 16th June - three days before the side returned to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium pitch to face Manchester United at the beginning of the Premier League's Project Restart.Listen here to the first of two instalments we've worked extremely hard on, clipping up the best bits of our summer lockdown project to tell the story of Spurs Over 34 Years - Featuring a variety of Spurs-supporting guests, from journalists & broadcasters to ex-players and a current youth team coach at the club.Twitter: @YE1Spurs

Merry Christmas everyone! Part 3 of this year's YE1 Spurs festive trilogy is an opportunity to hear about just some of the incredible work Micky Hazard does to help so many people, as Micky speaks in depth about the campaign to give three-year-old terminal cancer sufferer Jayman a Christmas that he and his family will never forget.You can find out more about this and more initiatives that Micky is involved with by visiting @1MickyHazard on Twitter, and by listening to this podcast.

The 1984 UEFA Cup Final was "my best night in football."We continue our journey through the career of Micky Hazard with the Spurs legend himself, and learn about more of the characters he shared dressing rooms with, as well as the details surrounding his move across London to Chelsea, and how he was sought out to become the poster boy for Asics football boots.

Legend of White Hart Lane, Micky Hazard, treats Spurs fans and the YE1 members to three wonderful podcasts worth of memories between today and Christmas Eve.Part 1 of the trilogy focuses on Hazard's experiences as a Sunderland lad, who quickly turned North London into his spiritual home.Enjoy, and be sure to tune in tomorrow for part 2!

Long-time Spurs TV commentator, Daniel Wynne, and the voice of White Hart Lane, Pete Abbott, make a very special appearance on YE1 to talk in-depth about their wonderful experiences working at the club they love, with stories spanning from the days of the old Spursline, to stepping around the perils of broadcasting amid VAR.

With Gareth Bale potentially in line for his second Tottenham Hotspur debut at home to West Ham on Sunday, the YE1 crew put forward their suggestions as to how Jose Mourinho should line the side up.

Ian welcomes Casper, Simeon, Rikki, Peter, and Bob back to the YE1 fold for an international break assessment of Tottenham's season so far, as Jose Mourinho's Spurs side continue to score for fun.Part two of this extended chat will land as a seperate podcast in the coming days. COYS!

YE1 joins the host of newly-qualified film critics and gives its own positive verdict on All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur.

After Sunday's slow start to the 2020/21 Premier League campaign, our crew of five Spurs-supporting pundits, aged between 12 and 63, plot how José Mourinho might achieve success this season, as the Europa Conference League (a.k.a. Europa League 2), the new standard for mediocrity, launches next season.

Portuguese football expert Aaron Barton, founder of Próxima Jornada, gives Spurs fans fresh hope that loanee Gedson Fernandes may begin to find his feet at White Hart Lane next season, and really show what he can do.Twitter: @ProximaJornada1https://proxima-jornada.com/

Richard Savva of A Spursy Podcast returns for an early forecast of next season, with it clear that Jose Mourinho will need a host of reinforcements if he is to deliver Tottenham Hotspur a first trophy since 2008.

Richard Savva chats to YE1 about his show, A Spursy Podcast, which divides opinion on Twitter in particular due to "staunch" views regarding the Tottenham Hotspur board, as well as simply having the word "Spursy" in his title. That before he, Ian, Sim, and Peter reflect on those final nine Premier League fixtures, which saw us secure European football for next season.

30 years of hurt... "try 60!"YE1 picks apart the last six years, at the end of which Liverpool, who Tottenham had been on an even keel with and more often than not better than for many seasons, have become English, European and world champions.

After three months spent reviewing past Tottenham seasons, YE1 returns in its classic format to assess our restart to the Premier League season, with fresh reflection on Monday night's unimpressive win at home to Everton, and considered build-up ahead of tomorrow's trip to AFC Bournemouth.

talkSPORT presenter Paul Hawksbee is the guest for the last of our season review series, and joins Ian, Sim, and Peter in recalling a vintage campaign of "heroic [Spurs] failure".The 1986/87 team, managed by David Pleat, is widely regarded as one of the best White Hart Lane has seen since the great Bill Nicholson's era, but was sadly unable to pair some scintillating football and a historic 49-goal haul from striker Clive Allen with neither a league title nor one of the domestic cups, all of which we were in the running for.

Having reviewed each Spurs season from the current incomplete 2019/20 campaign back to today's reassessment of 1987/88's disappointing yet clear "rebuilding" season, YE1 will be pausing its descent down White Hart memory Lane at 1986/87 in the coming days, as we are now expecting to see our beloved team back out on the pitch in just over two weeks.

After a poor start, Terry Venables' first full season at White Hart Lane began to project some of the promise which would eventually turn to FA Cup glory in 1991, as future Wembley linchpins Paul Gascoigne and Paul Stewart arrived to add much needed firepower.Eric Wolton is today's guest, and begins the show from the angle of Spurs goalkeepers, in light of Erik 'The Viking' Thorstvedt's arrival in December '88, as well as 1984 UEFA Cup hero Tony Parks' departure.

"Walking Spurs encyclopedia" Kevin Hill joins us on our latest step back towards season 1986/87, the last of our chronological descent.Italia '90 stars-to-be Paul Gascoigne and Gary Lineker starred during a season which saw us finish as top dogs in London, achieving a 3rd-place First Division finish under Terry Venables.We would also claim our last wins at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge for over two decades.

Ian Wallis and Peter Wright reminisce about our 1991 FA Cup journey, when Gazza's iconic free-kick in the all-North London semi-final, and an impressive turnaround from Terry Venables' wounded side in the final, both at Wembley, brought an eighth and most recent FA Cup back to White Hart Lane.

FA Cup-winning manager Terry Venables had moved upstairs, leaving returning boss Peter Shreeves, who had previously managed Spurs between '84 and '86, to answer to new chairman Alan Sugar.This was the final season of the old First Divison, as the FA Premier League waited in the wings to launch in the summer of '92, meanwhile, Paul Gascoigne missed the entire campaign as a result of injury sustained in last season's FA Cup Final, and Gary Lineker played out a farewell procession before his impending move to Japan.

Joined today by Matthew Fletcher-Jones of ENGINE Sport, YE1 looks back at the revolution English football underwent in 1992, as 22 clubs broke from the Football League to form the Sky Sports-driven FA Premier League.This before Ian and the team complete another customary Tottenham Hotspur season review.

Legendary ex-midfielder and World Cup winner Ossie Ardiles' first and only full season as Tottenham manager did not go to plan, as a combination of inadequate boardroom backing, injury to main man Teddy Sheringham, and dire mid-season form meant we faced a do or die trip to Oldham Athletic's Boundary Park in May, for our Premiership status.

It was with a heavy heart that our Spurs-supporting chairman Alan Sugar fired legendary ex-player Osvaldo Ardiles, as Gerry Francis took over a side stacked with attacking firepower, led primarily by German goal machine Jürgen Klinsmann.Today's guest is actor and director James Hillier, best known for roles in Eastenders and The Crown among other productions, while YE1 Daily ever-present Peter Wright shares an 'if only' moment, as semi-final defeat to Everton put pay to his virtually completed FA Cup Final song.

Ex-Spurs striker Steven Slade gives a refreshingly honest account on what it is like to play top-level football when you do not necessarily enjoy the game, and offers invaluable insight as to some of the elite characters he shared both the training pitch, and the White Hart Lane turf with, including Jürgen Klinsmann, Nayim, and Paul Gascoigne.Steve also shares some immensely sad and distressing events which have occurred at different points in his life.

Spurs' 1995/96 campaign began with a bizarre Intertoto Cup escapade, as a squad made up of "the youth team, a couple of reserves, and some mercenaries" took to Brighton for two 'home fixtures', and succumbed to the club's heaviest ever competitive defeat out in Cologne, arriving home to news that UEFA had then banned us from Europe.The ban was later lifted, while Gerry Francis' first full season played out solidly, though narrow failure to qualify for the 1996/97 UEFA Cup, and a disappointing FA Cup exit on penalties prevented the campaign from being anything exceptional.

Our review of this latest dogdy 90s season begins with Nicholas Frankel's account of the 7-1 debacle away at Newcastle in late-December '96.From there, Ian, Bob, Sim, and Peter pick up the story of continued Spurs decline under Gerry Francis, who would not last much longer after a disappointing 10th-place Premiership finish, and poor domestic cup displays, including humiliation at the hands of First Division champions-elect Bolton Wanderers.

Bob Jordan joins our South East London Spurs entourage, as YE1 Daily turns its attention to 1997/98's relegation battle.The blow of losing Teddy Sheringham, who had been leading goal scorer in four of the previous five seasons, was softened by the arrivals of marquee Newcastle pair David Ginola and Les Ferdinand, though boss Gerry Francis would resign in November, leaving unknown Swiss League marvel Christian Gross to steer us narrowly away from the drop.

Ian and the team take the opportunity to look over a trophy-winning season, for only the second time since beginning this YE1 Daily series at the start of Covid-19 lockdown.With the Premiership campaign a draw-ridden borefest under the guidance of George Graham, 1998/99 would undoubtedly peak on Worthington Cup Final day against Leicester City, as Allan Nielsen's diving header was enough to win what was our last ever trip to the old Wembley Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur entered the new millennium managed by former Arsenal boss George Graham, unaffectionately known to Spurs supporters as the "man in the raincoat", and modestly bankrolled by Alan Sugar, whose ten-year tenure was coming to a rather unhappy end.Ian, Matt, Sim, and Peter are the pundits today, while Nicholas Frankel recounts his trip to Kaiserslautern for our dramatic and hugely disappointing UEFA Cup exit in November 1999.

Week seven of YE1 Daily begins on the border of the current millennium, and revisits the final months of both George Graham, as Spurs manager, and chairman of the day Alan Sugar, before he sold a controlling stake in the club to ENIC Group.ENIC's first move was to reuinify a disillusioned fanbase by appointing legendary ex-player Glenn Hoddle as manager, whose opening match was an FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal at Old Trafford.

With Sol Campbell having done the unthinkable, our first full season since both ENIC's takeover and club icon Glenn Hoddle's appointment as manager, was led on the pitch by veteran stars Teddy Sheringham, Gus Poyet, and Les Ferdinand.2001/02 saw Tottenham Hotspur finish some way off European qualification in the Premiership once again, as well as fail at the final hurdle of the Worthington Cup, on what remains our only ever trip to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

As extra context for tomorrow's YE1 Daily review of Tottenham Hotspur season 2001/02, we are relaunching last month's discussion as to whether or not Sol Campbell may "ever be forgiven", or at least understood, for his controversial decision to move across North London in July 2001.

The second YE1 Daily of the week recalls Tottenham Hotspur's quintessentially "mediocre" 2002/03 season.Assessment of Glenn Hoddle's second full season, the 10th-place Premier League finish, pathetic domestic cup campaigns, and our extremely ageing playing squad make up the agenda for Ian, Dan, Sim, and Peter.

YE1 Daily is back for its sixth week of Tottenham Hotspur season review podcasts, as the series enters the "turgid" era.The biggest story of 2003/04 was the managerial sacking, after just six league matches, of club hero Glenn Hoddle, while our infamous 4-3 FA Cup exit to Man City, and a 14th-place Premier League finish made it a forgettable campaign for Spurs supporters.However, as fortunes have improved significantly in the 16 years since, could our undeniable uplift be traced back to the very day that the Arsenal, who themselves have never hit anywhere near their heights of '04, secured the title at White Hart Lane?
