## Resource

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Jason McGovern, Patrick Tyrant and Brendan McGerty as we discuss the state of play around Spurs' battle to survive in the Premier League. The panel react to fresh speculation that Micky Van De Ven is expected to stay at Tottenham Hotspur this summer should relegation be avoided, with Spurs not actively looking to sell and Van De Ven understood to be happy under Roberto De Zerbi. We refect on James Maddison claiming officials are “petrified” to make decisions after being denied a stoppage-time penalty against Leeds and whether we do genuinely feel there has been any kind of agenda against Spurs this season from referees. Daniel Levy has spoken out for the first time since leaving Tottenham, we react to his comments in which he says he is 'praying everyday' Spurs retain their Premier League status. We close on the news that Mayor Of London Sadiq Khan, has suggested to non-Spurs supporters that Tottenham being relegated would be in the best interests of Londoners, and what impact the wider footballing world is having on enjoying seeing us in the position we are in.
