Thomas Frank's adaptability, Xavi Simons' star power, and Spurs' new set piece edge. In this episode of The Lab, we're joined by journalist and creator Adam Cleary from The Adam Cleary Football Channel to dig into what Tottenham's summer really changed. We break down why Simons is a “nightmare” and a genuine floor raiser, how Frank's flexible approach contrasts with Postecoglou's, and why Spurs' set piece surge is more Brentford blueprint than copycat. Adam explains why Mohamed Kudus feels like the signing big clubs should have made, and we stress test the optimism by asking what happens if Romero or Van de Ven get injured.

Jack is joined by Ben Bowman during the international break to ask the big question: do Spurs fans really enjoy supporting England, and does the number of Arsenal players in the squad take away from it?

Ben then fields your questions: what will be the biggest change in a post-Levy era, will Thomas Frank face added pressure to win silverware under the new regime, and how did a joke about Viktor Gyökeres in jeans end up going viral after his appearance on The Overlap?

Jack is joined by Iain from Poddenham Podspur to make sense of Tottenham's first Premier League defeat under new boss Thomas Frank. Did the manager get it wrong? Maybe so, but with Spurs still at the very beginning of this journey and basking in the glow of a European trophy, there's little reason for panic. The conversation turns to new arrival Xavi Simons, what makes him such an exciting signing, and how his interviews reveal a mature young player ready to carry on the legacy of Son Heung-min's number 7 shirt. Jack and Iain also look ahead to transfer deadline day. Who Spurs need, who they'd like to see, and what it all means for the season ahead. Finally, Iain talks about his own project, Poddenham Podspur – a podcast about Spurs podcasts. What began as a tongue-in-cheek idea has grown into something far more meaningful.

Journalists Tom Barclay and George Sessions reflect on Spurs' poor 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth which saw Thomas Frank given a huge reality check after his fantastic start to life as Tottenham manager. Just how much could Spurs have done with the watching Xavi Simons in this game?

Tottenham have tasted defeat in the Premier League for the fist time under Thomas Frank after a hugely disappointing performance against Bournemouth at White Hart Lane. Not even the pre-match unveiling of Xavi Simons could inspire this Tottenham team to victory as they registered just one shot on target across the entire match.

In the first of a two-part special, Jack sits down with Dan Kilpatrick, now an editor at The Athletic, to look back on his years covering Tottenham as a beat journalist. They discuss how the job changed as Spurs grew into a modern superclub, how the wider football media landscape evolved over the past decade, and what it was like reporting during the Mauricio Pochettino era — including an anecdote about a chance encounter with Poch and Jesús Pérez in Russia. Dan also reflects on Daniel Levy's deep involvement in all areas of the club, whether it's ultimately damaging, and shares his impressions of both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank. Part two — where Dan answers your questions — will be out soon. For now, enjoy part one of this deep dive into Tottenham Hotspur with one of the most familiar faces in Spurs journalism.

In part two of our special with The Athletic's Dan Kilpatrick, Jack puts your questions to him in a wide-ranging Q&A. Dan reflects on whether he misses the “tier one” status of being a Spurs beat reporter, shares the story behind his most accurate piece of transfer news, and talks about how his final exchange with Ange Postecoglou might have influenced his reporting. He also gives his verdict on Ange's reaction to “Clowngate,” discusses Daniel Levy's relationship with the media compared with fan protests, and considers whether Vinai Venkatesham will make a difference at Tottenham. Other listener questions cover which Spurs manager he most enjoyed interviewing and whether he regrets leaving the beat just as Thomas Frank arrived. Part one of this conversation looked back on Dan's time covering Spurs; this second half is all about your questions and his candid answers. The show's theme tune is Ghost Cat by Gillen.

We've started the season with a bang under Thomas Frank, beating Manchester City and showing the kind of tactical adaptability we've been crying out for. Mohammed Kudus and João Palhinha look like inspired signings, Richarlison is thriving, and for the first time in a while, we're genuinely excited to watch Spurs. But alongside that optimism is the familiar frustration with transfers. We came close to landing Eberechi Eze only for the deal to collapse, leaving us short of creativity with Maddison and Kulusevski sidelined.

What's the matter with America? We've been told for years about the dumb working class MAGA voter. That they are exploited by Trump, that their interests are the reverse of a self-interested Republican cultural or economic elite. But according to the iconoclastic Tablet magazine contributor Michael Lind, we've got it the wrong way around. MAGA Voters are anything but stupid, he argues. That's why they don't care what dissenting podcasters like Tucker Carlson think. Instead, they're making rational choices based on their material interests, not blindly following con-celebs like Carlson, Laura Loomer or Curtis Yarvin. The real Trump coalition consists of two groups that pundits consistently misunderstand: reliable Republican voters who will support any GOP presidential nominee, and more crucially, swing voters in swing states. Rather than following the latest ideological dramas between right-wing influencers, these supposedly swing-voting “low-information voters” are making practical decisions about their lives. So actually, Lind implies, echoing other contrarian American populists like Thomas Frank, there's nothing the matter with a United States that somebody representing the class interests of ordinary Americans couldn't fix. 1. Right-Wing Influencers Have Zero Real Political Power Podcasters like Tucker Carlson, Laura Loomer, and Curtis Yarvin may dominate online political discourse, but they have "next to no influence on actual policy." When they turn against Trump, there are no electoral consequences because they don't command actual voter armies—just online audiences.2. MAGA Voters Are Making Rational Economic Calculations The "low-information" swing voters who decide elections aren't following ideological media rabbit holes. They're high school or some-college educated people making practical decisions about their material interests, not consuming political content or caring about intellectual debates among conservative influencers.3. America Is Experiencing a Class War Between Managers and Everyone Else The real divide isn't left vs. right but between a highly credentialed "managerial elite" who control large institutions and an unlikely coalition of working-class voters and outsider entrepreneurs (like Silicon Valley founders) who resent bureaucratic control.4. Trump Rebuilt FDR's Coalition for the Republican Party Through a complete partisan realignment, Trump assembled the same geographic and demographic base that supported Democrats from Andrew Jackson through LBJ—while today's Democratic Party represents the Northeastern establishment that Republicans used to champion.5. The Solution Requires Rebuilding Civil Society, Not Better Politicians America's crisis stems from over-centralization and the collapse of intermediate institutions like unions, local political parties, and churches. Real change requires "democratic pluralism"—giving ordinary people power between elections through rebuilt grassroots organizations, not just voting for better candidates every few years.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Broadcaster Russ Williams, Jason McGovern and Patrick Tyrant as Palhinha marked his first start for us in the Premier League with a goal as we stunned City at the Etihad again on Saturday. The midfielder was magnificent in a complete team performance and was joined on the scoresheet by Brennan Johnson as we forged into a 2-0 lead in the first half. Once again, our defensive structure was impressive but it wasn't just about sitting in - the final shot count was 12-10 in our favour and there is no doubt we were the deserved winners of this encounter - our third win in five at City. We also wrapped-up the very latest transfer news during this summer transfer window with only a handful of days remaining to back Thomas Frank in the market.

In this powerhouse episode of Unglossy, hip-hop icon and cultural heavyweight Bun B (aka Bernard Freeman) joins Thomas Frank and Jeffrey Sledge for a deep, funny, and wildly inspiring conversation that spans decades — and industries.From his early days forming UGK with the late, great Pimp C to building Trill Burgers into America's best burger brand (literally), Bun breaks down the milestones, missteps, and mindset that kept him both relevant and real. He talks about the origin of his rap name, the Houston culture that shaped him, what it really takes to build longevity in music and business — and why being trill isn't just a brand, it's a standard.You'll hear stories that have never been told, like the day UGK signed with Jive, how Bun became a professor at Rice University, why Ridin' Dirty was their first real album, and the honest truth about whether he'd ever run for mayor of Houston.And yes, there's a surprise. Stay till the end to catch a major Unglossy announcement you won't want to miss.This episode is a masterclass in authenticity, entrepreneurship, and cultural leadership — from a man who's done it all and still shows up hungry.
