Ok guys, I can't polish a turd. Here's a painful reminder of home games against Chelsea in the 90s. A run that saw us win precisely 0 games out of 12 and establish one of the worst hoodoo's in our club's history. Are we still paying Karma for taking Gordon Durie off them in summer 91?

There's Roberts and Hazard returning to haunt us, handbags between Teddy and Dennis Wise and Christian Gross' infamous first game in charge...and I didn't even mention losing 4-0 in the Makita Cup Final! Well at least we got Jason Cundy from them. erm ok, like I say no way of sugar coating this but please do listen anyway! At least I had a lovely time on my half-term break to the beautiful city of Bergen which I discuss towards the end.

Joining me for this episode is Author Ewan Flynn who wrote the incredible book When the Year Ends in One - a deep dive into the memorable and hugely significant 90/91 season that saw Spurs win the FA Cup against all odds amidst a genuine existential crisis.

Ewan and I go through this incredible, and scarcely believable season, that would see many soap opera directors dismiss as implausible. Highlights include:

Gazzamania - the best player in the world and most famous person in the country

A title challenge...until November

Ruining Southampton fans' Christmas'

the developing financial crisis

Chas n' Dave's Cup Final song hubris

THAT semi-final and FA Cup glory!

Another bonus episode as I share some memories of magic, mayhem and mediocrity in games away to Everton during the 90s. I discuss some Ginola magic, Christian Gross' career being bookended by wins at Goodison and ending a very long win for a win....ANYWHERE!
