Football on Off the Ball. Spurs see themselves as this big club, but are they a big club, really?
How does the discussion around Tottenham Hotspur reflect on their club status?
This whole narrative around Frank, and it's got so toxic and so nasty as well, it's just a really bad reflection on Tottenham Hotspur fans in general.

All your shit runs down to us. I'm getting out of here in a couple of hours anyway, I like to go south. Like at the start of a disaster movie.
Oh, you're going to Cork? You know, go away. I'm going to Cork, yeah. Back home, where they'll understand you properly. Yeah, exactly, yeah. There's been a cultural clash in rugby, of course, we've seen in the last 24 hours involving a Munster referee. And I'm just going down to... It's a part. In the general area of Limerick, you know. Is there not a low-key beef between Limerick and Cork? There seems to be.
What were the highlights of the Champions League matches last night?
I think it's high-key. Oh, yeah. In rugby or world?
Oh, rugby, yeah.
There's more pronounced now. They're talking about splitting the problems up. Yeah, that's right, yeah. Well, it's an interesting point, because it would be more pageantry in terms of hard in that stage, you know. But in the rugby, I suppose, it's kind of simmering. undertone of like hold on now you get all the big gains but we make all the money yeah there's a bit of that but I don't think it's got mainstream yet if you will Donald Lennon's pretty Donald Lennon's piece yeah it's a good point but anyway we're going down to pour oil on troubled waters Go back to UCC actually. There's a panel. Did you go to UCC? Yeah. I haven't been back in ages. It's a lovely campus. Was it good to go to? It's brilliant.
Brilliant. Did you ever wish that you didn't live at home? Or did you live at home? Yeah, that's true. The only thing is that we all did. Everybody that went. Yeah, because it was all down the road from us. Yeah. So you still live the college life, but that is true, like, because I'm only up the road from DCU now, and then I see all the student accommodation. It's like, oh yeah, none of us kind of got that. But then you are so lucky that you have the college down the road in the first place. Yeah, you never have to worry about finding a place. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Well, UCD, it's like, this is a big, sprawling city. Yeah, but incredibly expensive. I like DCU's campus. It's also very nice. Yeah, it's nice.
Sorry, not to pry, right? But what happens if you weren't to come home for a day or two? Which is, you know, every student's right. That's just a quick text. From the mother, like? From the mother. Yeah, exactly, yeah. That's very quickly done. Well, we generally would have a relationship anyway, so you would be communicating... I know, but the night goes well, unexpectedly, and suddenly you're not coming home. Well, listen, it's a great point. The theme of the show this morning will be respect, right? This is our pre-show thing that a lot of sporting topics wanted to get through today, including the referee, Bundy Aki, Novak Djokovic, respect. Oh, and the rowers. And the rowers. And the rowers, yeah. The respect thing there is that, oh yeah, of course, you give them the courtesy of telling them if you're not going to be home.
But you might not know. Oh, but that's fine. So you have to wake up in the night. Listen, it's not newsworthy for 12 hours, I'd say, at least. So you have that window. What's the window? Like noon, the next day? So if I go to college, don't come home. in the morning, not going home tonight. And then maybe the following morning, 10 a.m. By the way, in case you didn't notice, I didn't come home last night.
