Once again Spurs plunge us in to the depths of despair and find new lows so once again we enlist the services of Socrates - our newly appointed doom and gloom consultant (it would seem) back to analyse another Spurs disasterclass and to give us his take on what the hell is going on with this mess we call a football club and where we go from here.

Joining Socs are regulars, Dags and Elio, as well as half an hour's worth of Dave, who probably regrets making the call that leaving the recording half way through to watch Leeds take on Liverpool would be a more enjoyable experience than discussing Spurs with us lot - we can always rely on him to make us feel a bit better.

On this week's show we pick apart that disastrous home loss to Bournemouth as well as the shocking treatment of Davinson Sanchez by some of our fans. We also look ahead to Newcastle next week who are of course one of our growing list of competitors for a top 4 place that feels to be slipping further away by the week.

Speaking of slipping away - we also indulge ourselves in just a little bit of small-club energy and fantasise about Arsenal somehow not being crowned champions.

Spurs continue a strong home run with victory against one of the in-form teams in the league and one hot on their heels (with perhaps a touch of help from VAR). Dags, Dave and Elio discuss the game at length and break down its various controversial talking points, including a fleeting moment of sympathy for Brighton - no, not really.

With the visit of Bournemouth to Tottenham at the weekend, we look ahead to the (hopefully) realistic prospect of getting another result at home and keeping pace with Man Utd and Newcastle in that top 4 chase.

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @PlusDavePodcast and let us know your thoughts on Spurs, the show and send in any questions or comments for the team (but do stay classy).

Another week, another mess. Join a 4-strong Plus Dave team this week, bolstered by the return of an old face (or voice) to help us sift through the ashes of our latest Spursy finish to a match and the surrounding corporate circus the club is currently putting on.

David 'Pricey' Price doubles the Dave count and joins in various discussions including how we threw away 2 points against 10-man relegation candidates, how we might fare better against the in-form team in the PL next week and other orders of business.

We bring you the latest in our managerial search and our two cents on the matter and even find time for a little chat about how many Spurs players might get into a 'Big 6' XI and a 'best of the rest' side.

Where do Spurs go next? The inevitable parting of ways with manager, Antonio Conte has been confirmed by the club with the dream duo of Stellini and Mason taking interim charge for the time being. With big things happening at Spurs we drafted in a special guest as we welcomed back Socrates to give his thoughts on all the developing drama and the future at Tottenham.

Joined by Dags, Elio and Dave - the team looks back over Conte's time in charge and tries to assess how he really did, how it will be remembered and how it ended. 

With several managers being touted as the new man for the job, we talk through options and which would make the most sense as well as analysing the bigger picture at the club and our apparently lack of a clear vision.

Also on the agenda is the ever-underappreciated marvel that is Harry Kane - now England's all time leading goalscorer as well as a preview of a trip to Goodison Park to face Sean Dyche's Everton.

Socs exposes Elio with some scandalous behind-the-scenes revelations about the PDP, Dave champions the 'Bielsa to Spurs' narrative as usual and Elio is once again at his most defamatory.

Spurs throw away a 2-goal lead against the bottom side in the league but the Spursyness is overshadowed by a spectacular Antonio Conte post-match rant to rival an angry Elio.

Speaking of angry Elio, there is plenty of that for you in this episode and with good reason as we look back at the Southampton result but also Conte's sensational comments, the context around them and his achievements (or lack thereof) as Spurs manager to date.

No Dave this week as he took a tactical week off to stay well clear of this mess - presumably also annoyed at us for not even taking care of Leeds' relegation rivals for him.

Could this be the end for Conte at Spurs? As you're reading this or listening to the episode, it may well already be. Where did it all go wrong, what have we learned and where do we go from here? With the writing on the wall, Elio and Dags consider who the board might/should appoint and what a new-look Spurs might look like come the new season.

The season is over! Or at least that's the view of many as Spurs go crashing out of their last cup after a disappointing display in the home leg versus Milan, leaving just CL qualification to play for to give us a chance to do better next time.

Dave and Dags fly Elio-less once again and do their best to fill the ranting void. As well as the defeat to Milan we also have a comfortable(ish) win over Forest at home to enjoy and a look ahead to an away fixture at Southampton that all Plus Davers are equally keen to see result in 3 points for Spurs.

The pod takes it's usual twists and turns as the team discusses succession planning for Conte with his departure looking inevitable and there's also an attempt to regain some perspective and remember why we put ourselves through this each week and what football is really about (hint: it's not trophies).

Spurs are rubbish again! Join the usual gang (a delirious Dags, a despondent Elio and a drunk Dave) as we reluctantly pick apart two straight away defeats after everything was looking so rosy. With so many questioning the club's priorities, we talk about the FA Cup, what it should mean, and whether we underestimated our tie with Sheffield United in the 5th round.

We also look ahead to the upcoming home games with AC Milan, as we seek to reach the quarters of the Champions League, and former European giants, Nottingham Forest next weekend.

Challenge Elio makes a return and Dags takes every opportunity possible to plug his new article - including this one. Please go to PlusDave.WordPress.com and check out "Why Pep Guardiola owes everything to Tottenham Hotspur" - a tale of the passing of the tactical torch that takes you on a journey from WHL in the 50s and 60s, to Dutch Total Football in the 80s, to Pep's all-conquering Barcelona.

Another week, another win! Spurs extend their oddly impressive home run with another 3 points and another clean sheet - this time against struggling bogey team and all-round detestable outfit Chelsea FC.

Join us in an in-depth chat around the VAR drama just before half time which quickly spins out into a wider discussion of VAR and officiating in the game generally. Skipp fulfils a pre-season prediction from Dave by netting a thunderbastard to open his Spurs account in a lovely moment. Kane does what Kane does, Vio does what Vio does. Mount, Sterling and Ziyech all find their way into Elio's cross-hairs this week in a relatively rage-free outing from the man.

We also have quick previews of Wolves and Sheffield United to round things off as we start to allow ourselves to maybe dream, just a little, of FA Cup glory.

A very un-Spurs-like, routine 2-0 victory over West Ham suddenly means we are no longer filled with horror and dread looking at the table and readying ourselves for the run in to the season. Join the usual trio as we look at another Emerson Royal goal as the Emerdemption continues - as well as a few other standout performers from Sunday's game. 

We then discuss how they can combine to dispose of a Chelsea team with just as much ease who, like West Ham, are having a poor season and also hate us just enough to potentially pull a performance from nowhere - unlike West Ham of course, against us they nearly always do. Calling Dr. Tottenham?

There's the usual foul language, obscene imagery and spontaneous attacks of character that have become the hallmarks of Season 2 of the PDP so we hope you take some sick pleasure in some of it. There's a small Challenge Elio to round things off with an unsung heroes theme.

Better late than never this week as the PDP runs it pretty close to the line to upload the latest episode before the West Ham game - the preview of which forms part of this week's show. Heaven forbid our predictions of a comfortable, routine victory on Sunday make us look stupid!

Join the team this week for a look back on two defeats, one in Leicester, one in Milan. We discuss (not for the first, nor last time) the problems inherent with our squad with plenty of individuals firmly in the crosshairs.

With rumours abundant about the fate of our manager, we go over the ups and downs of Conte and his managerial style as well as a certain reportedly magical potential successor and how he might put a spell on this underwhelming set of players.

Elio's language reaches all-time lows as Jamie O'Hara finds himself the chief recipient of his abuse, with Jack Grealish still reeling from his battering in the last episode.

Finally we talk about our rumoured takeover by Jahm Najafi and MSP Sports Capital and what that could mean for our beloved Spurs.
