  • S2E41 | What Happens If Thomas Frank Does Join?
    Jun 5 2025
    In this episode of The Lab, we're joined by lifelong Brentford fan and photographer Adam Rosenbaum to talk about Thomas Frank: his rise, his coaching style, and why he’s such a special manager. We discuss Brentford’s journey from the Championship to the Premier League, how Frank built a strong team culture, and what might happen if he ends up at Spurs. Adam shares stories from Griffin Park, thoughts on Matthew Benham’s data-driven model, and what makes Frank different from other managers, and crucially would a move to Tottenham be a successful venture for all involved.

  • S2E40 | The Hero Or The Clown
    May 28 2025
    In this episode of The Lab, we welcome Dan Kilpatrick, former Chief Football Correspondent at the Evening Standard and now newly of The Athletic, for a candid conversation about his career move and a dramatic week in the world of Tottenham Hotspur. As Spurs celebrate a historic Europa League triumph, Dan reflects on his final articles for the Standard, and one piece that drew a sharp public rebuke from manager Ange Postecoglou. We explore the fine line journalists walk when balancing honest critique with the inevitable reaction from those they cover, and ask: was the line between "hero and clown" fair, and why did it provoke such a response? We also dive into the wider questions now facing Spurs. Does European success outweigh domestic underachievement? What does Daniel Levy’s silence say about leadership at the club? And will Postecoglou finally get the backing he needs to build a lasting legacy, or is this yet another pivot point destined to end in short-term thinking? Learn more about your ad choices.
