Episode 3143: Family Alignment Meeting, Ange’s Reality Alignment

All happy families are alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. But why? What is the thing the happy families are all doing that the unhappy ones are missing out on?

The answer is that the happy families never stop asking themselves: how can we better align our goals going forward? So that is what the SC family will do today.

We are joined by Jack Pitt-Brooke to talk about why this Spurs-Liverpool game was so different from the last one, why Postecoglou may at last be recognising that rhetoric and reality are not always the same, and whether he always knew his old friend Rupert Lowe was destined for bigger things.
