Friday the 1st of May, it's a brand new Totally Extra.
How did the 2018-19 season shape Spurs' current struggles?
On board today, we've got Duncan Alexander. Hey, Duncan. Hello, James. Hey. Are you well? Yeah, I'm all right. Nice. Better than Spurs. Well, here's top Spurs fan Dan Kilpatrick. Is that my moniker now? Self-bill yourself, Daniel.
How would you go? Yeah, top Spurs fan's perfect, to be honest. Let's face it, that's why I'm here.
All right. And all seeing, all knowing, Daniel's story is here from his lofty perch above it all, a.k.a. somewhere in Leicestershire. Still Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire.
We'll not have this Nottinghamshire erasure.
Okay. I mean, geographical location is so relevant to you, Daniel, seeing as you kind of permeate all football. Anyway, future listener, hello to you. I have to say we're recording this at a time when Spurs are still a Premier League side. Seven years on from that final in Madrid. It's extraordinary that it is just seven years. But looking back on some of the matches, some of the people involved, some of the commentators even. Jermaine Gina's popping up all over the highlights. It feels like another age.
Well, as a Spurs fan that's lived through the last seven years and watched the vast majority of the Spurs games live and at the stadium, it almost feels longer. I'm almost amazed it's only that recently because it's been a long seven years in Spurs land and a pretty grim seven years.
All right, you've crammed a lot of declining into such a short period of time. And it's maybe forgotten for a lot of people what an incredible run that was that you witnessed back then, Dan. And indeed, Daniel, because you were present at a number of the key matches that we're going to be talking about. What a side that was, what an Icarus-esque ascent they had to the very pinnacle, the brink, perhaps, of the pinnacle. of the Champions League what a manager Pochettino was and I guess the other issue about this and perhaps one of the key reasons that we're doing this is a totally extra to what extent all of that led to all of the current stuff but that's something we're going to get into but not before we've had a trawl through the almanac and Duncan you've offered us a quiz question
Yes, we all remember Spurs got through to the Champions League final on away goals in 2019. The sadly missed draw deciding mechanism. There's been six occasions of a team getting through to the Champions League final on away goals, but only one team has done it twice. Who are they?
Looking forward to the answer to that. At the end of today's show, next up... This Week in Football History.
This is the Totally Football Show with James Richardson, part of the Athletic FC podcast network.
What's This Week in Football brought us through the years? Quite a bit, actually. 27th of April, 2006.
But here's Stewie Downing. Downing then. Downing, running beyond the fullback. Whips a great-looking ball in. Hit it! Goal! Massimo Macaroni! Massimo Macaroni! Macaroni's header! A bowler have struck a stake to the heart of Dracula's boys! And it could be Eindhoven too!
The words of legendary BBC Tees commentator Ali Brownlee. This was Massimo Macaroni completing one of the great European comebacks scoring in stoppage time as Middlesbrough came from 3-0 down to beat Stade Bucharest and reach the UEFA Cup final in a performance voted by Borough fans as the club's greatest ever. 27th April 2014, meanwhile, was a mistake to the heart of Brendan Rodgers. Stephen Gerrard with the slip against Chelsea at 0-0 in first half stoppage time in the biggest game of Liverpool's season. And two weeks after, cameras had caught him telling his teammates, this does not f***ing slip now, this does not f***ing slip.
