Last Word On Spurs returns with Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Martin Lipton for a packed discussion on the latest developments surrounding Spurs.

We begin with the seismic news that Manchester City have been found guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period.

With the findings potentially having significant implications for the competition during the years in which City dominated English football, we ask the question: do Tottenham have any legitimate claim to have been denied trophies, opportunities or sporting success as a result? And, if so, what could Spurs realistically expect to happen now? The Premier League has confirmed that the question of sanctions remains to be decided, with City also having the right to appeal the findings.

We then turn our attention to Roberto De Zerbi's start to the season with Spurs. With results failing to meet expectations, is the Italian already under pressure to deliver, or does he need time to implement his ideas and build a team in his own image? We discuss the expectations surrounding De Zerbi and what constitutes a realistic timeline for improvement.

There is also concern over Jan Paul Van Hecke after the Tottenham defender picked up a knock while away on international duty with the Netherlands.

We assess the potential implications for Spurs as we await further news on the extent of the injury.Finally, we take a wider look at Tottenham's realistic ambitions for the season.

With Spurs currently bottom of the Premier League table, already out of the Carabao Cup and with significant work still required to improve results both home and away, what can supporters realistically expect from the campaign from this point forward?

'Should Tottenham Feel "Cheated" By Manchester City's 114 Guilty Charges | Collectively COYS' Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Manchester City have been found guilty of the vast majority of the 115 Premier League charges.

Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino says fans "lived through a period of deception." So where does that leave Tottenham?

Jake Robson (An Echo of Glory), Ricky Sacks (Last Word on Spurs) and Sim (We Are Tottenham TV) spend the whole show on it, and they don't agree.

Did City and Chelsea cost Spurs trophies during the Poch years? Does the verdict change how we judge Daniel Levy's tenure? He planned the club around the financial rules everyone else was meant to follow.

Is that a defence, or was it naive? Did he fail to adapt once it was obvious those rules weren't being enforced? And what should a fair punishment look like now, when you can't turn back time? Is Levy's reputation due a rewrite?

'Why Tottenham Must Be Patient With De Zerbi | Ft. Dean Scoggins' Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

As we navigate our way through this three-week International break we're joined by Tottenham Hotspur supporter and and founder of the award-winning show Tactics Exposed, covering Premier League and international tactics and analysis in Dean Scoggins.

Dean has 20 years of experience in journalism, both breaking exclusive stories, writing headlines and leading production of the SunSport section.

Dean explains why Tottenham MUST keep faith with De Zerbi’s tactics despite being rock bottom of Premier League. Dean illustrates that Spurs lead the league in several statistical categories, including successful take-ons, progressive passes and corners – although they are 18th in expected goals. Despite their blunt attack and lack of points, there are tactical reasons for Tottenham fans to remain optimistic.

We also wrap-up the very latest news around Spurs including how Tottenham Hotspur are among the Premier League clubs that could have grounds to seek financial compensation after Manchester City are found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges against them.

We also reflect on Andy Robertson's interview with The Overlap and also Lucas Bergvall's comments whilst on tour with Sweden while discussing how much expectations have shifted since the start of the season.

'Is It Fair To Judge De Zerbi Yet? | Collectively COYS' Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Five games in, two points, two goals, and Spurs are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League after spending over £300m in the summer. Three fan channels, three different views, one very uncomfortable question: how worried should we actually be?

We're debating: Has this start changed what you expect from the season? Top half, Europe, or just safety?

When does the De Zerbi project get judged?

Is "give him time" still a fair position, or has that window already started closing?

Fatigue and condition: with 11 players at the World Cup and the full squad only together ten days before Everton, is this a genuine excuse or a convenient one?

Bring your own take in the comments. The best ones get read out next week. Featuring hosts from An Echo of Glory, Last Word on Spurs and We Are Tottenham TV. #THFC #TOTTENHAM #SPURS

'Can De Zerbi Turn Spurs Around?' Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Tottenham Hotspur enter the September international break rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, despite noise from a minority of supporters, Roberto De Zerbi’s job at Tottenham appears safe for the immediate future — but he is clearly under pressure.

Spurs have just 2 points from their first five Premier League games, remain without a league win, and lost 3–2 at home to Aston Villa on Saturday.

They have also been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Liverpool and had gone four league matches without scoring before the Villa game.

However, Fabrizio Romano reported after the Villa defeat that Tottenham currently have no plans to sack De Zerbi and are backing the project they invested heavily in during the summer.

De Zerbi has a five-year contract, running to 2031, and Spurs made a major investment in new players over the summer. That appears to be giving him some protection while the new squad settles.

'Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 Aston Villa • Post-Match Analysis • Match Review + Player Ratings' Sep 20, 2026

Show notes

We scored our first Premier League goals of the season on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 3-2 home defeat to Aston Villa.

Two goals in the closing stages from Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke – his first in our colours – opened our league account for the campaign having failed to net in our previous four matches. However, by that stage, the visitors had taken a 3-0 lead, Johan Manzambi scoring on the stroke of half-time before Nicolas Jackson and Emi Buendia extended their advantage after the break.

Tottenham have now drawn two and lost three of their opening five games. They are 18th in the Premier League.

We debate Spurs' disastrous start to the season and discuss if Roberto De Zerbi can turnaround our dismal start to this season.

'Tottenham Hotspur V Aston Villa | The Big-Match Preview: Porro/Tonali Avaliable • Maddison Returns • Game Importance' Sep 19, 2026

Show notes

This is not literally a six-pointer in September, but the psychological importance is considerable. Tottenham enter the match with two points from four league games, sitting 17th, while Villa have only one point. Spurs have also failed to score in their first four Premier League matches — a remarkable early-season statistic given the scale of their summer recruitment.

So there is an interesting dynamic: both teams desperately need the result, but for slightly different reasons. For Tottenham, a victory would provide De Zerbi with tangible evidence that his new side is beginning to function. Another poor result would leave the enormous summer investment — reported at more than £300m — looking increasingly disconnected from the league performances. De Zerbi himself has stressed that this is a new project and that Spurs will improve once the team "clicks."

Tottenham have confirmed that Porro is available after missing the previous two games with a muscular problem. Sandro Tonali is also available after missing the Liverpool cup match with a knock. Porro gives Spurs another player capable of providing width and progression from the right. More importantly, his positioning can create an additional passing option when Villa attempt to close down the central areas.

James Maddison's availability could be crucial .Maddison is now considered ready for a larger contribution after making consecutive substitute appearances. If Maddison can operate between Villa's midfield and defence, he could be one of the players capable of solving Tottenham's biggest problem: turning possession into genuinely dangerous chances.

This is a very important early-season fixture for both clubs, but I'd frame it as a test of whether their respective projects can begin producing Premier League results rather than as a season-defining game.
