This week, our fans dive into all the biggest stories across the Premier League, with strong opinions, plenty of disagreement, and a few laughs along the way.The discussion begins with Liverpool's defensive issues under Arne Slot.

We take this opportunity to have some Spurs related fun with some fictional Spurs trivia in the second half of the pod.

Jack is joined by Billie T to discuss Tottenham's 2-1 win over Leeds United, a huge result before the international break that ends Leeds' long unbeaten run at Elland Road. The lads talk about Spurs' growing solidity under Thomas Frank, the remarkable stat of being the only Premier League team not to concede in the final 15 minutes of games, and whether Frank's pragmatic, low-xG style is sustainable.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Julien Laurens, Jacqui Oatley and The Telegraph's Jason Burts to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin with Chelsea's last-minute win over Liverpool at the Bridge.  Whilst Laurens praises Maresca's victory and show of emotion, he criticises Liverpool's lack of control, with a third loss in eight days. Jason believes Liverpool's winning start to the season was unsustainable and considers it a missed opportunity that they didn't buy Marc Guehi in the summer.Next we look to Man United's home win over Sunderland; whilst Julien focuses on Amorim's side's lack of consistency, was this clean sheet and good performance a sign of things to come? We then have The Athletic's Megan Feringa on the pod to talk WSL; how far can Manchester United go this season?  And with Arsenal dropping seven points already in the WSL, after bringing in Olivia Smith, why is it they can't get over the line in the league in the same way the likes of Chelsea are able to?We also look at Arsenal's win against West Ham, taking them to the top of the Premier League and Julien believes the Gunners' control gave Nuno's side no chance of winning the game.Finally, a gritty win for Tottenham against Leeds showed Thomas Frank's ability to bring a different side to Spurs; Jason believes Frank can get them back in to the top four this season.  Running Order:3mins – Liverpool Lose 3-in-a-row20mins – United Back to Winning Ways38mins – Megan Feringa on WSL 46mins – Arsenal Rise to the Top65mins – Frank's New-Look Spurs

Jack is joined by Jon Bass of the Man's Not What podcast for the latest Thursday Q&A. We reflect on Spurs' frustrating Europa League draw with Bodo/Glimt — where Thomas Frank needs to take the blame, but also where he's actually doing a good job. Which players should be stepping up, and are the younger talents being asked to carry too much pressure too soon? Then it's over to your questions, from what kind of pants Thomas Frank might wear, (and what Jon wears when tackling a burglar in the night), to which Spurs player could finish a family-sized M&S turkey and stuffing pie, and the player you'd least want beside you during a marathon.

Hello and welcome to our latest episode where today we are discussing three games in a row we have battled back to earn a point but is this a good sign or a worrying one? Why are we unable to attack and beat teams? It feels as though our focus is so much on defending where as under Ange it was all too attack... and yet, in competitive games Ange finished last season with the exact same record (goals scored and conceded) as Thomas Frank has started this one. Are we better? Are we worse? Are we the same but in a different way? I do not know the answer yet but that is our discussion for this week... amongst other things including a loan chat.

Tottenham were held to a 2-2 draw away at Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League after one of their most shambolic displays in recent memory. The Norwegian side pressed relentlessly, played with real confidence, and fully deserved their lead, while Spurs looked disjointed, lacking belief and organisation. Even with key players missing, should Thomas Frank's side have had enough quality to see off opposition like this? Is the blame on the players, or is Frank struggling to adapt to the demands of managing a club the size of Spurs? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jack is joined by The Athletic's Charlie Eccleshare (also of the Football Clichés podcast) to reflect on his time covering Tottenham Hotspur. Did he feel gutted to stop reporting on Spurs just as they lifted the Europa League?
