We're all happy that Radu is back, and the 3 points. Let's not forget the 3 points.

I think on YAPS we consciously make an attempt to be a podcast that works well in both audio and video formats but I'd be really interested to hear any listener feedback on whether we actually hit that mark?

There's no Tottenham Shelf News today. "Why?" You may ask. Well, there's very little new and I don't want to waste your time.

I only heard "All I want" once, didn't get Whammed at all and managed to cook a passable Xmas dinner. That'll do pig, that'll do.

In case Christmas isn't a happy time for you or someone you know. Please share

From the minds that brought you questionable logic and festive chaos comes the film critics are calling “unhinged” (in the best possible way). Puns reign in a very merry Yapsmas as we reveal why All I Want for Yapsmas Is Lube is the festive release nobody saw coming. (Best watched in wide-screen)

I have a concern. One of Spurs biggest weaknesses right now is that our left wing just isn't threatening enough. But going out into the market and buying a ready made left winger risks the development of 2 of our best young players. We need an old head that can still do a job. Someone 28+

I can almost guarantee something big will happen in the Spurs world today. Simply because I can't report it on Tottenham Shelf News until Wednesday.

'Tis the day for it. New pod. Also available via Apple music, Sp*tify and all your favourite podcast places.

For a team that were so good last year, are playing against ten men and are a goal up, Liverpool are playing really badly.

Is it on? IS IT ON?!!

So numb I can't even be angry.

Calling it now. Gray won't come out after half-time and Palhinha will take his place.

My head to head sheet compares results between the same teams across this season and last season. I've checked the numbers and they're right but we've actually picked up more points in our games this season then we did in comparable games last season. Crap at attacking though.

I wish I could include Xavi in my list of potential Tottenham managers but I really don't know enough about him to judge. Anyone feel like enlightening me?

Following @notthatmilo.bsky.social's post (attached), who would be on your 3 man shortlist? Mine: Kjetil Knutsen Andoni Iraola Xabi Alonso (if he becomes available)

Does Thomas Frank last the festive period? Can he turn this around? Here's the latest CADS pod so you can hear our thoughts.

I think I got the priority right. What do you think? open.spotify.com/show/4zQv3v2...

Are you f***ing kidding me ? That's what you send after THAT performance?!

The keeper needs to be positioned for a cross with the player in that position. Which he was. Vicario comes off looking foolish but that's a freak goal.

New job unlocked. I've basically been unemployed for the last 2 years but I just received a contract for my new career. Sadly, this does mean there may be times I can't do CADS.

Was that Odobert's best performance this season? More of that and in longer patches please.

No word on a contract for Jun'ai Byfield? Seems concerning.

Can you imagine... Being Calum Olusesi, regarded as one of the most promising English players of your generation and playing in the same side as Luca Williams-Barnett?

I mean, this is good, right? And a little bad.

Ash is a lovely fella and basically @stuw78.bsky.social’s right hand man on CADS. We spent an hour chatting about Spurs, how fans talk about famous people, and Ash shared advice for aspiring content creators. He also briefly talks about interviewing a Tottenham legend…

A rare thing recently, genuine positivity! Check out a happy CADS but is it only a brief respite or a genuine shift?

So, is THIS Thomas Frank's "Harry Kane free kick" moment? Or is this just a temporary break from mediocrity? I'd love to see us play like this more often.

Is this Spence's best game of the season?

See, Xavi is learning, he could have gone down on the first challenge but stayed on his feet. The second challenge got him but that would have floored most players.

I watched the first 20 minutes but then got called away by my wife. Came back to see it was half time and we were 2 up. Clearly, I am the issue.

It took less than 2 minutes before the co-commentator said that Romero was "known for being rash". Don't these guys update their notes?

Today's Tottenham Shelf News is a little different. Find out how: share.google/SQsjOhnG3AnL...

You lot are bloody brilliant. Thanks for the views and support in 2025.

Felt like I needed a bit of a Spurs pick me up after recent games so I sat down & watched the BBC's The Academy series featuring our young lads. There's some good talent in there and Jun'ai Byfield dreams of captaining the men's team one day. New contract for him on Saturday then.

Quick music quiz. Name the song from the lyric or snippet. Today's: "Hey, buy the rights"

I wanted to go to bed an hour ago but stayed up to be able to give a fair reporting of that game for tomorrow's Tottenham Shelf News. Please ensure you're subscribed an listening to make all of this worth it! anchor.fm/s/109c88e08/...

I'm surprised VAR didn't rule that out for a high foot.

To quote a great pod front man. At least we can stop playing for a 0-0 draw now.

I don't chew gum so am deeply unsure but... is THAT how normal people chew gum?

How do we get one of them Woltemade's?

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

COYS !!

Thomas Frank says he is "very confident" he has the backing of the club's owners. So, what time next Monday is he getting sacked?

Xmas time is approaching, I bet you opened the first door on your calendar today, & we're planning the next episode of YAPS. Consider this post a call to festive arms, if you record a short festive season message & send it through to us (PM me for the email address), we'll put it in the next show.

Stop getting in the players way Thomas and Let Them Cook ! open.spotify.com/episode/6H8W...

Things are so bad, I've started thinking about who the next manager should be. Kjetil Knutsen is the name at the top of my list right now.

It's amazing how much better we look when we try to attack, not just contain.

I'm not saying managing Tottenham ages you but...
