Back Door to Glory – Lewis Tilley on Spurs’ Europa League Triumph

On this week’s episode of Off Script, Jez and Morgan are joined by Tottenham Hotspur fan Lewis Tilley for a lively debrief of a season no one saw coming – one that ended with Spurs lifting the Europa League trophy.
From the highs of European glory to the shock exit of Ange Postecoglou, the trio dig into what it all means for a club that seems to swerve predictability at every turn. Did Postecoglou deserve more time after ending the trophy drought? Is Thomas Frank really the man to carry Spurs into their next chapter? And yes, we talk about that Champions League back door – a route in that’s as Spursy as it is surreal.
All this, plus a sprinkle of Norwich City perspective as Jez and Morgan try to keep things grounded while Lewis rides the high of unexpected success.
A football conversation that’s emotional, unfiltered, and – as always – totally Off Script
