Episode Notes

Spurs lost 2-1 at Chelsea — but the numbers say we were the better side. 2.15 xG to Chelsea's 1.09, and 67% of the game's big chances. And now the whole season comes down to one game against Everton.

Jim is joined on The Originals by Stu in Dubai and Si in Switzerland to pick through a frustrating night at Stamford Bridge and answer a stack of Oso 33 member questions.

We get into why the data and the eye test tell completely different stories, the Enzo Fernández screamer and the Kinsky question, the front-three problem and an honest defence of Richarlison, the VAR decisions still baffling us — the Delap elbow, the Cucurella booking that makes no sense — and what fans can realistically do about officiating. Plus the most honest question of the season from Oso 33 member Howard: have Spurs ever stressed you this much, and how are you coping?

A point against Everton on Sunday and we're safe.

The Originals is the panel show from Oh So Spurs — higher-quality, more nuanced fan content from people who've actually been through this season. Smarter than the angry-pundit register, but still fans, with the cautious belief that comes with it.

If you got something out of the episode, please follow the show, drop us a rating, and share it with a Spurs fan who needs to get through to Sunday.

And to the OhSo33 crew, keep it lily-white.
