Bardi

For the last few weeks I've been previewing our upcoming Premier League games. The idea is to step away from the usual click bait, banter and nonsense that seems to follow modern football "conversations". Go and check out this week's chat with Cai the Everton fan pod.link/1337670733/e...

This podcast. This community. An absolute pleasure every time the mic goes live.

Got @barditei.bsky.social on Rule the Roost to kick off 26/27 - any questions for us? Recording a bit later on

July has barely begun, children are still in their classrooms and Spurs have crushed the transfer market. Tottenham have woken up and realised that, financially, they've got some of the biggest muscles in world football. My thoughts on the BBC: www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Two Hospitality tickets available for England Vs DR Congo in Atalanta. DM if you're interested, all legit. Family member has two spares. VIP access, premium seats, unlimited drinks, entertainment and all the bells and whistles.

For the BBC, my thoughts on Luka Vuskovic after a chastening opening-game defeat at the hands of players he will be expected to face week in, week out did not go to plan. What is next for the youngster? www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

It's been a pleasure reading your work.

This was not a great escape. There is no motorbike or blond-haired lead actor to cheer on as they race towards safety. It is the sad story of a club that fell asleep at the wheel and reacted just in time to avoid disaster. There is no divine right to PL football www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

In real-life rescue situations, it's well documented that the most dangerous moment comes right before safety. It is known as the rescue paradox. You're not safe until you are wrapped in foil and someone has handed you a hot drink. My thoughts for BBC www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

True Spurs fans knew this was always going to be our destiny. Like a classic computer game, we would have to vanquish the end-of-level boss to progress. My bit for the BBC on the rivalry between Spurs and Chelsea and the task ahead of us. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Watch how many players now stop the ball and put their studs on it. It is controlled, deliberate. Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, like an experienced tango dancer at a milonga. Roberto de Zerbi has awoken something in this group. My thoughts on Tottenham winning AGAIN www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

"Our decision-makers may finally have found a manager capable of saving us, but it is too late. Roberto de Zerbi appears to have given us lift, but the runway is too short. We are not going to make it." My thoughts on Spurs' biggest battle. Us Vs Time. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

"It takes something special for a club to go through four managers and for nothing to change. Four different sets of principles, four different approaches, four different game plans, yet nothing sticks." My bit for the BBC www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

This was a great reas

The Tottenham board split the fanbase by appointing Roberto de Zerbi. So what happens now? Will a manger who was at the cutting edge of football be able to adapt quickly to this new PL? My thoughts for BBC www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Anyone need dog sitting, house sitting, child minding? My summer calendar just opened up.

We were promised a firefighter, someone to implement a simple, reliable system, but instead we got more confusion, more chaos and more fuel on the fire. My thoughts on the BBC www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Ultimately a slippy 15 minutes in Madrid killed us, but for the first time in what feels like a lifetime, there is a togetherness on the pitch and in the stands that has been missing for a long time. My post Atleti thoughts on the BBC www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

My thoughts on the most slapstick football ever to grace the Champions League knockout round. Spurs were falling over themselves to give Atletico the tie. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Podcast will be live as soon as I'm processed through A&E and had my jabs

I made a list of people I want out of my club and by the time I finished it, Tottenham felt like a very lonely place. There are precious few faces I want to see pop up next season. My bit for the BBC which their editors had to tone down a bit. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Last year, the warning lights flashed but because we triumphed in Bilbao, the board dismissed it as a faulty sensor - arrogantly ploughing on into the storm. My latest bit for the BBC www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Snoop was wrong. Deserve has everything to do with it. My thoughts on the people who got us here. Read or listen for free on @theextrainch.bsky.social Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/151503...

Freezing our arses off. The club has done the bare minimum and it wants us to be grateful. Get in the bin. My piece on @theextrainch.bsky.social Patreon is free to read. www.patreon.com/posts/freezi...

Thanks to Vinai and his team the gulf has never been so wide, but there is still some hope that we could do them and the closer we get to kick off the more that hope grows. My piece on the BBC Tottenham club page www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Didn't expect @barditei.bsky.social to come out with the haymaker of saying Spurs are having diarrhea and saying hiring Igor Tudor is like eating white rice, but whatever metaphor gets the message across...

Empty seats and the fear of losing income, finally force the board to make a decision, but it might be too little, too late. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

As much as I don't like Frank, I really don't need to hear a lot of waffle from the players about how they..... 1. Didn't like his methods 2. Felt disconnected 3. Bored in training Wind your necks in, 3 weeks ago you were having a go at the fans.

"It was the perfect night for Frank when, for the first time since he took charge, everything slid into place. Even his controversial decision to restore Solanke to the squad at the expense of Tel worked out" My latest bit for BBC is out www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

My bit for the BBC "Frank has failed to imprint on this team a way of playing that we can get behind. There is a carelessness to our play and this is echoed by the fact that our manager does not even realise he's drinking from an Arsenal cup." www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

It's time to check in! I had to remove multiple teams for rule breaches, but I think we have a clean league now. Tom Cox is running away with and on course for a prize. DM me bro. His team is a work of art:

"There are no patterns of play, our defence is as porous as it has always been and even our set-pieces, the lighthouse in the distance, has blown its bulb." Let's be Frank. My thoughts on our manager for the BBC www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

When a titan runs, mortals duck for cover. Mickey has always moved like a Death Star and last night Copenhagen were Alderaan. Mickey's second entry into the best moments of our history was a thundering moment of gravity and magic. My BBC piece www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Blogging used to be my bread and butter, especially when I worked in B2B copywriting, it's nice to get back into the flow for the CL games. Go check out my BBC piece. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Official Statement. The Commission although happy to see Gray start would like Spurs to play him anywhere other than CB. Yours Chairman Bardi

This Week's @theextrainch.bsky.social In Focus is on Frank's recent changes to our high-pressing game www.patreon.com/posts/141726...

I'm using this line next time I'm getting it in the neck on socials. Sensational work.

Just a bit of fun.

Archie Gray for CM. Join me people. Let's march on this. Paint the bus stops and hang flags from lamp posts Unite our midfield

It's all a bit Ange

A new ITK has entered the chat

The @barditei.bsky.social pod is here. Is Palhinha a cement mixer? Does he rate Frank as a Swiss army knife? What are his top 5 cheeses? All this and more: pod.fo/e/32d0b8

Someone should "not cut their hair until Ange wins 3 games in a row" and really challenge that United fan.

Tomorrow I'll be speaking to a little known podcaster going by the name of @barditei.bsky.social - any questions or talking points for us? I will of course be asking him his thoughts on whether or not Palhinha is a cement mixer.

Well he didn’t have Romero and Van de Ven so you can’t really blame him
