## Resource

Tottenham head into the final day needing a point against Everton to avoid relegation, but none of us quite know how to feel anymore. We’re joined by Dan Kilpatrick to talk through the dread, the strange emotional numbness around survival, and whether staying up would bring relief, celebration, or anger at how we got here in the first place. We discuss Roberto De Zerbi’s calming influence, the pressure around Sunday, Spurs’ broken squad, recruitment failures, Kinsky, Romero, VAR paranoia, media narratives, and what the summer rebuild might actually look like.
