Why would anyone voluntarily support Tottenham? Josh Emden joins us on The Lab to explain why Spurs might still be the best choice for a neutral, even when the football makes us miserable.
We debate owner funding, the financial arguments around City and Chelsea, Daniel Levy’s complicated legacy and why Tottenham spending money seems to upset everyone. Have we built something worth being proud of, or are we just finding increasingly elaborate ways to cope?
Plus, the difference between a successful business and a successful football team, why the suffering makes the good moments matter, and the absolute madness of knowing we’d do it all again.
