Flav and Ricky pick through the wreckage of Tottenham's 3-0 defeat to Brentford and ask how a summer of excitement ended with Spurs looking so disjointed on the opening day.

We discuss De Zerbi's admission that Spurs aren't a team yet, Archie Gray wearing the armband, a completely new-look defence, Bergvall's nightmare, Kinsky's mistakes, the lack of threat up front and whether we're simply going to have to give this team time to come together.

Plus, attention turns to Charlton and why the next game needs to be about more than just getting a result.

And, for reasons that become apparent, there's quite a lot of chat about grown men sh*tting themselves.

Harry Brooks and Thelonious join us for Q&A Thursday, and Flav’s convinced everything’s going to be fine. Convincing everyone else is another matter. Was the United performance a turning point, or were United just shite? We debate De Zerbi’s football, our lack of presence in both boxes and whether encouraging performances will actually turn into wins.

Spurs are back and we’re convinced it’s all going to click. We’d just quite like to know when.
