Season 1, Episode 17 of The Big Jon Bass Show; we finally won… the first win of 2026!

Season 1, Episode 15 of The Big Jon Bass Show; another frustrating day as Spurs fall away at Sunderland. Jon breaks down De Zerbi’s team selection; no Tel, no Xavi and a game overshadowed by awful refereeing and yet another VAR mess, with Brobbey somehow escaping a red.

Even with more questionable decisions going against us, Spurs battled to the end in a 3–2 that feels massive. Jon asks if this is finally something to build on, before a huge trip to Forest where the message is clear: show up, sing up, stay up. Plus your questions from X.
Season 1, Episode 10 of The Big Jon Bass Show — another chaotic Spurs performance leaves more questions than answers.
