There was a strange moment during the protests outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Around 2,000 Tottenham supporters had marched down the high road ahead of the Premier League game against Manchester United and right up to the west side of the stadium, making their feelings very clear towards the chairman Daniel Levy, the board and the current owners ENIC with banners, chants and noise.

It was an organised and successful protest seen by everyone, through the media's images and words, social media videos and the Sky Sports cameras covering the match as well as their pundits then discussing the subject to the masses afterwards.

There was also one strange moment within it all as the march began to reach its destination. A lone smiling man stood before the thousands marching towards him with a small sign that simply read 'Levy In', bringing boos from the front of the group. Then someone ran across from the side of the crowd, ripped the sign out of his hands and threw it to the floor in pieces, rather awkwardly undoing the whole point of being able to protest that the day was about.

Our Tottenham correspondents Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest discussed the protests, the scale and effectiveness of them, that little moment within it and also what happened during the 1-0 victory against Manchester United that ensued afterwards in the latest episode of their podcast Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham.
