It really was a bit brick wasn’t it hahahahahahaha!!! I was exasperated. First, on starting to watch the game I realized they’d switched it to another channel after swearing at their ‘brick coverage’ for 60 seconds. Then the feed died worldwide midway through first half. Then my internet went down in a storm right before HT, thus had to go and find a spot with enough cell reception for me and the lad to watch on ipad second-half. The game itself. The internet not coming back on in time for recording, thus scrambling to find a cell connection ipad again sans proper mic. It was a bizarre day, albeit it might’ve sheltered me from deeper feelings of woe!

The Greatest
Season 3 Episode 33
Steff, Milo and Gareth discuss record-breaking Harry Kane, another defeat of Emirates Marketing Project, why the staff must start preparing iced towels and breathing exercises in the 28th minute, and the stone cold fact that however much you try to intellectualize it, Pep’s just a knob. Enjoy!

I really appreciate the rapid rebound pods, all of them raw and right on the money.
One remark: in your elaborate praise today of Harry in the wake of his goalscoring record - so special indeed that 'we have seen all 267 of them' - I was surprised that none of you mentioned that Harry has never had the kind of ego that so many other top players of the modern game have. Yesterday was a case in point. No 'premeditated and to be revealed' t-shirt with the number 267 under his match shirt - I just love him for not being like that. This, too, is what makes him stand out in this day and age, and what adds another layer to him being one of our own.

So listening to it
- One comment on the tone back from the club to the THST. I think it was intentional, I think where you missed the point is it wasn't a response to the fans, it was a response to the trust. The trust were the ones that was purposely trying to leverage the club by making all of this unnecessarily public and using inflammatory wording. Can't see why you would respond to that with empathy.
The club being better with PR is probably a fair point (longer conversation) but I don't think this was the time or place.

That's a great point and one that hasn't occurred to me

Their irritation in having to answer questions was clear. As Gareth says on the pod, there are some bridges that have been burnt between the Trust and the club, hopefully, the new chair on the Trust has success at rebuilding them. I do think that the club are excessively secretive and defensive, though

Well questions to the club were sent on the watch of the new co-chairs, so it's not a particularly great start to rebuilding the relationship at Board level.

I think that the Trust are in an impossible position either way. They were coming under a lot of pressure from fans
The point around the club’s PR is very valid. It’s largely awful. Is it still Donna Marie-Cullen’s accountability? Worthy of a more detailed discussion as you said on another show during a quiet week perhaps?
I was surprised - apart from a cursory reference from @thfcsteff - that you didn’t make more of an issue of just how terrible the ref was yesterday. To have the crowd chanting “you’re not fit to referee” after barely 20 mins said it all to me. He was one of the worst I’ve seen in years. And that’s saying something!
One other point on the atmosphere, which was brilliant - I think the early goal really helped here get the fans ‘on side’ from the off, as well as cutting out any unforced rooster ups.
Another great listen, lovely to have it first thing and on on my way to dropping ‘my’ Zach to nursery.

While that might be 100% a fair statement, I'd make two points
1. Where is the model, PL club that is open, has regular updates and PR to fans? I feel like a lot with Spurs we are trying to hold the club to a standard that no one else does? What is the upside/value for the club? a few more pacified fans? see my point below (you have to help the club understand why they should do this)
2. I work with large enterprise executive boards, literally nothing in the way the trust tries to engage the club is going to work, it is horrendously amateur/naïve/arrogant (I'm not sure which one). If they are genuine, I feel for them because they are probably out of their depth.

I think that both are fair comments. I think that I am measuring the club against my ideal, which I recognise no one else is operating like. I do think that they score a lot of own goals, though.
I agree on the Trust's approach. I wasn't very keen on their initial letter, I think that there was an element of grandstanding after coming under a lot of pressure from ENIC Out supporters. That said, I've drafted plenty of responses to rude questions and I don't think that showing your irritation helps when doing so. They could have given the same answers, dressed it up a bit and laid on the charm and created a bit of goodwill.
