This week we welcome Rob onto the pod to chat about Tottenham. Yes, for the second time it's a case of two Rob's on the pod!
Rob is an Australian who, as well as being a Spurs fan, is a huge Formula 1 fan and has his own YouTube channel dedicated to F1 Fantasy tips.
However, for today at least the chat is all about football!
Here is the usual fact file about the club we'll be following this week...
Tottenham Hotspur FC – Club Overview
Tottenham Hotspur FC, commonly known as Spurs, is a professional football club based in North London, England. Founded in 1882, the club has established itself as one of the most storied teams in English football. Spurs were the first club in the 20th century to achieve the league and FA Cup double, winning both in the 1960-61 season. The club has a strong reputation for playing attacking football and has consistently competed at the highest levels of the English game.
Spurs have won two top-flight league titles (1950-51 and 1960-61), eight FA Cups, and four League Cups. They have also enjoyed success in European competitions, becoming the first British club to win a UEFA trophy when they lifted the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1963. The club later won two UEFA Cups (now the Europa League) in 1972 and 1984. More recently, Spurs reached the UEFA Champions League final in 2019, finishing as runners-up to Liverpool, and won the Europa Cup in 2025 defeating Manchester United 1-0.
The club's home ground is the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue that opened in 2019, replacing the historic White Hart Lane. Tottenham has a passionate fanbase and maintains intense rivalries, particularly with Arsenal, in the North London Derby. Over the years, the club has been home to iconic players such as Jimmy Greaves, Glenn Hoddle, Paul Gascoigne, Gary Lineker, Gareth Bale, and Harry Kane. While silverware has been elusive in recent decades, Tottenham remains one of England’s most prominent clubs, frequently competing in European competitions and striving for further success.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
