Spurs Champions League win divides opinion | Is Palhinha a cement mixer? Plus Bardi’s top 5 cheeses (Q&A)

Jack is joined by Bardi from The Extra Inch to unpack Tottenham’s Champions League win over Villarreal, a result that has split the fanbase. Are Spurs right to prioritise clean sheets, or is the lack of creativity a growing concern? The pair dig into the Joao Palhinha debate and whether he’s a valuable presence or, as Bardi has been known to call certain midfielders, a “cement mixer.” They also look ahead to Brighton, asking whether Thomas Frank has struck the right balance between pragmatism and progressiveness in his Spurs setup. Listener questions include whether or not Frank lives up to the “Swiss army knife” manager Bardi once wished for during the Ange era? What’s the long-term plan for Archie Gray? And, most importantly, what are Bardi’s top five cheeses? All that and more. Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
