Spurs 1-1 Leeds: reaction + Chelsea away preview (8 years at The Bridge) | The Originals

1-1 with Leeds at home. The fifth home game this season we've taken the lead and dropped points. And now Chelsea away on Tuesday — eight years since the last time we won a league game at the Bridge. Could this finally be the one?

I'm joined on The Originals by our ray of sunshine Stu in Dubai, Si over in Switzerland, and a brilliant guest — Jason McGovern from Last Word on Spurs.

We get into what actually happened against Leeds (Tel's first De Zerbi-era goal, the Richarlison miss, the overhead-kick decision that gifted Leeds their penalty), the five-game De Zerbi trajectory — 8 points from 5, xGA halved, the direction is genuinely up — and the home pattern that won't go away.

Then Linda's brilliant question on the tumor of negativity pressing on the soul of this club, and why so much Spurs content goes nuclear after every result. And the big one — Chelsea away. Eight years at Stamford Bridge. Andy's question on how De Zerbi exorcises the demon. Roston's case for positivity. And whether this group, mostly recruited in the last two windows, even carries the scar tissue the previous lot did.

Plus your listener questions — Maddison usage, Kolo Muani vs Spence, the penalty drought, and how on earth we're planning to celebrate when we stay up.

The Originals is the panel show from Oh So Spurs — higher-quality, more nuanced fan content from people who've actually been through this season. Smarter than the angry-pundit register, but still fans, with the cautious belief that comes with it.

If you got something out of the episode, please follow the show, drop us a rating, and share it with a Spurs fan who's nervously checking the table every five minutes like the rest of us.

And to the Oh-So-33 crew — keep it lily-white.
