The Rule the Roost Big Fat Quiz of the year has landed! Quizmaster @tomfoins.bsky.social baffles our brains with his fiendish trivia to see out 2025. Journalists @dankp.bsky.social and @seandzwalsh.bsky.social face off with Rosa and Billie from Hometown Glory and me. Play along: pod.fo/e/370458

Annual RTR quiz - it's a shorter one but very tough imo. The Dennis Wise of Spurs Quizzes

Edwards should have been forced to resign the second he chose not to take action on the MoD data breach which put people at direct risk of harm, and literally death. This is welcome and shouldn't even be in question. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Always a joy 💙🤍 Listen 👇🏻👇🏻

Always a pleasure

Lange's days at Spurs are numbered anyway, but the CL squad list probably should be the final nail for him. I get one or two tough decisions, but building a squad over 4 windows that creates *this* much of a registration mess is pretty unforgivable

She's absolutely box office stuff. I love the personalities in the women's game, because the men have had it coached out of them for a nearly 2 decades

How are the #underlyingnumbers? Still good?

We've got leaks coming from inside the dressing room about injuries, a club at war with it's medical team, Munn on a warpath to cut costs, and a manager on his way out. Aside from a younger squad profile, are things significantly better 2 years on from Conte?

I'm prepared to declare we are safe from relegation

But are the underlying numbers still good?

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

It's one thing to question what message this sends to Ange, but what must the players be thinking? Not just those who have been more outspoken, but the youngsters who signed in the summer, and who are being pushed to their absolute limit? To Porro and Kulu as they worry for their muscles every game?

Friends fear he's Sporcle-ing again. youtu.be/3cLr6hqlbeo?...

The club will be absolutely delighted with that. As long as the losses are by 1 goal, they get to blame it on fine margins

Are the underlying numbers still good?

I don't think the injuries this season are entirely bad luck, but even so, this is on another level to anything anyone has seen before. And it's the exact sort of extreme situation that gets you a relegation battle, no matter who you are. And they're still not going to sign anyone

I think there's a bit of a culture of picking and choosing the data for Spurs this season, on both sides of the argument about Ange/the squad. But whichever way you look at it, I cannot for one minute agree that luck is the prevailing factor

We are in so much trouble with this bloke in charge. Absolutely clueless

For close to 30 of my 37 years watching this fixture, I think I'd just like to see one - just one - visit where our senior players and our leadership doesn't totally evaporate. It's a massive club-wide problem that we need to sort out before we even start on anything else

You can't pick that front 3 and expect anything different anymore. It was so disastrous at Rangers that Ange publicly called out Werner. I get it's Tamworth, but it smacks of totally unearned arrogance

Literally my ideal content here

This was a joy to put together. Get your ears around it.

I wouldn't, if I were you

In the midst of our terrible run of form I'd forgotten how ugly this whole rebrand is

Unreal how much more I want to *NUNO'S* Nottingham Forest than our bunch of absolute losers

Not sure groups who claim to represent the fans should be going in hard on those choosing not to pay (another) £40 one week after Christmas, tbh

My toddler just shoved his spoon so far down his throat that he gagged, and got really upset. Then he did it again, and gagged harder, and got more upset. Then he did it again, throwing the entire contents of his dinner up into his lap. Possibly the finest metaphor for Tottenham this season.

Oh god we might end January in the 'As it stands' mini table on Sky Sports

Starts Vs Arsenal imo

Everyone gave absolutely everything they had there. For some of them that's a really positive thing, for others just a really worrying lack of quality and steel. Newcastle are pricks but they show the virtues of signing actual grown adults.

'nothing he could do about it' isn't really our fucking problem, is it? Nothing we could go either

Good piece and why I flatly reject any calls on fans to take the lion share of blame for Spurs' fortunes and/or 'stomach' for this. Tickets are going for £94 on Saturday, against a team who made the CL once in 20 years, just because the club can. And we're yet to see any of it pay off on the pitch

🎆 RTR Big Fat Quiz Of The Year 2024 🍾 Quizmaster @tomfoins.bsky.social is back for another year of festive fun - @dankp.bsky.social @rickytfc.bsky.social @curlycaff.bsky.social @seandzwalsh.bsky.social Billie T and me, put through our paces. Listen: pod.fo/e/297ee1

A record breaking 8 instances of Gary Neville saying 'at this moment in time' in just 12 minutes on his podcast last night, including 2 in 2 seconds.

Phwoar, get your ears around this one, my second Big Spurs Podcast Quiz of 2024. Happy New Year!

Literally never heard a crowd like that for Zirkzee coming off. Don't think you'd ever recover

👍

I certainly understand the argument many are making about fans being too demanding and 'win now', but, you know, I think it's fair to ask for 'win eventually'. Which feels beyond us right now.

Improving the current team? Ramon Vega

Petition for all Spurs games for the rest of eternity to be blanketed in thick fog so we may never have to watch them losers ever again

Wonder when the next Spurs game will be when I look up and the opposition don't have the ball. Must have been 3 or 4 games since we had a touch!

Didn't have high hopes for the Gavin and Stacey finale after the dreadful 2019 special, but that was very solid. Bit silly towards the end and Rudi deserves half hour on her own, but 7.5/10 for me

“Holy infant so tender and mild” will never not be funny, don’t write lyrics when you’re hungry.

It's very telling how there's some good, frank assessments on this Spurs team in here, but he's chosen to quote the bit where he's shitty about a decent bloke in an inoffensive job

Hard to get that annoyed, even with the full strength xi we're absolutely lightyears off these.

To be released soon, I think the Spurs Christmas Quiz I did today for @hometownglorypod.bsky.social might be my greatest work to date
