With the unprecedented three-week international break mercifully drawing to a close, Jack and Gavin reunite to reflect on a deeply frustrating start to the Tottenham season.
We kick things off by questioning whether the club has lost a piece of its soul. With hundreds of millions spent on new players, why does it feel harder than ever to connect with this squad compared to the organic, passionate teams of the Mauricio Pochettino era? Jack admits his creeping 'weasel' doubts over Sandro Tonali's £100 million arrival, fearing another Tanguy Ndombele situation, while Gavin explores why the scars of past transfer failures make it so difficult for fans to trust the current regime.
We also catch up on the international break news, including Antonio Conte's explosive new interview detailing Daniel Levy's alleged apathy towards winning, the double Dutch injury blows to Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke, and Dele Alli's surprise phone call to Harry Kane on Twitch.
Finally, we look ahead to a massive trip to Old Trafford. With Spurs still searching for a spark, is the clash against Manchester United the perfect opportunity to ignite the season, or will a defeat plunge the club further into the abyss?
