We've Got To Get Behind This

Jack welcomes Spooky back to the show to discuss the latest ongoings at Tottenham. The tragic passing of Gian Piero Ventrone clearly had a massive impact upon the players and staff at Spurs, who still managed to come away from Brighton with an impressive win. For the moment it was about being present as people, and not as sportsmen. Arsenal's continued form is discussed within the context of how much we should be letting it get to us? Is it disingenuous to suggest that we should just ignore them? Also, Harry Kane, what a hero. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.
