Your Spurs x culture podcast, with Ash, Billie T, Charlie, Rosa and Tom. HG is committed to covering the Tottenham Hotspur men's and women's teams, and tapping into the Spurs fan experience. We're talking the grief and glory of being fully COYS: cult heroes; iconic shirts; comically miserable away days; everything from Amsterdam to Zagreg. The team are also dedicated to bringing you music, TV, film, books and art recommendations we know you’ll love. Plus guests! We have very special guests from the Spurs and culture crossover universes. Eventually, these guests will include Adele. It is our ultimate goal here, after all.

“Challengers”

April 11, 2024 17:40 - 1 hour - 98.4 MB

A very special, overly-excitable, slightly nauseous FA CUP SEMI-FINAL PREVIEW POD! Rosa and Lauren are joined by HG cousin Caroline as they look back at the journey (inc. penalty shootout heroics and Peak Ros) and forward to our historic game against Leicester City that could take us that final step closer to glory. But whatever happens, it’s been magical. Come on you Spurs!  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ... And we're o...

In My Place

April 09, 2024 13:53 - 1 hour - 96.1 MB

Another day, another inexplicably inconsistent first half performance followed by a barnstorming - ish - second half fightback from our lilywhites. We ponder the complexities of our performance against Forest, revisit past tragedy/comedy away at Newcastle, and dish out our latest culture picks. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ... And we're on Instagram: @_hometownglorygram Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more ...

“Punch Drunk Love”

April 02, 2024 08:09 - 57 minutes - 79.3 MB

Another late win, this time against the elite warriors of Luton Town. We discuss Bissouma’s fall and Brennan’s rise, wonder what to do with Kulu, marvel at our magnificent captain, and beg Tottenham to play more than 15 minutes of amazing football per game — especially with West Ham coming up. Pop quizzes, culture, apologies to parents and first time outings at the stadium for HG offspring: it’s all here.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Ros...

“Eternals”

March 28, 2024 13:24 - 1 hour - 104 MB

Ash, Billie, Rosa and Sam come together to mostly ignore the actual football (bar a shoutout to GB’s heroics as Wales captain) to bring you the Hometown Glory Mount Rushmore Draft. Find out who the gang picked as their Modern Classic, Childhood Sweetheart, Certified Legend, and Wildcard. Plus! Does it matter if Spurs Women are only allowed to score in the second minute of games now? We wrap it all up with a Luton quiz starring the Ginger Pele himself, Gary Doherty, even more Dune chat, a min...

“The Work of Angels”

March 12, 2024 13:21 - 1 hour - 112 MB

Welcome to Statement Win Sunday. The men took their revenge on Aston Villa by producing officially their most complete Angeball performance yet, and the women made history by finally scoring a goal against Manchester City…and then beating them on penalties to make it to the semi finals of the FA Cup for the first time EVER. A truly blessed day. All that, plus a Fulham quiz and the final word on the Oscars.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Ro...

“Advances, None Miraculous”

March 05, 2024 11:47 - 1 hour - 109 MB

Saturday afternoon against Palace: more low block hell, more divine Micky van de Ven, more Timo Werner tearing COYS message groups apart. We preview the Crunch Fixture that is Villa (with a bonus pop quiz), review the good, the bad, and the offside winner of the women’s NLD, and wrap it all up with some culture: Billie gets Timothée Chalamet now! Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ... And we're on Instagram: @_hometownglorygr...

"I Stand Corrected"

February 22, 2024 10:07 - 1 hour - 117 MB

We thought we were back! But it turns out we are kind of…not. We discuss the bizarrely soporific spectacle that was the Wolves game with a minimum of Ange angst - we’re zealots after all. Alas, no respite from Spurs Women either, as their lacklustre performance against Villa led to an infuriatingly identical result. The solution? Patience, and lots of lovely culture picks to get us through a football-free fortnight. We’ll be back (again)!  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on ...

“Just Might Be OK”

February 13, 2024 15:25 - 1 hour - 88.6 MB

Players, last-minute winners and VIBES are back! Our returning captain gave us just the lift we all needed in the win over an annoyingly good Brighton. Was it a well-managed game or a bit of luck and do we care? Elsewhere, the women’s FA Cup draw took place IN HELL because for the 50th time this season, we have to play Manchester City. We also make time to push our personal agendas AND rate Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Bi...

“That’s What Happens”

February 09, 2024 14:19 - 1 hour - 92.3 MB

Another day, another loss to Man City Women. But this time we did it without conceding a single goal to Bunny Shaw! We move. Incrementally, but we move. We also look back at the frustrating Merseyside draws for both teams and ask: are we taking the one club mentality too far? We wonder if Ange will agree to have someone protect Vic at corners this weekend against Brighton, and are mindful of not counting our chickens against the women’s FA Cup opponents Charlton. Plus! Culture: Tracy Chapman...

“Got My Ticket For The Darts”

February 02, 2024 10:04 - 54 minutes - 75 MB

Billie, Rosa and Tom discuss the 3-2 against Brentford that featured some excellent performances, some calamitous ones (sometimes from the same player), a bit of pantomime villain nonsense, a darts subplot and a truly horrible last five minutes. Again we ask: why does everyone have weird beef with Tottenham? We look ahead to Everton, Rosa and Tom wax lyrical about the genius of Barbara Kingsolver, and Billie keeps up with the Oscars race. Bonus! LIVE reactions to Tottenham’s latest transfer ...

“Big Blue”

January 30, 2024 17:24 - 1 hour - 109 MB

Football’s strangest hoodoo finally came to an end last week as Man City knocked us out of the FA Cup thanks to a highly debatable/perfectly reasonable goal. Lauren, Rosa and Sam mourn the loss of our trophy, and pick themselves up to go again… by reviewing another loss to Man City, this time for the women. We preview Brentford, Spurs Women's next league game against Liverpool, and the Conti Cup quarter final draw against… Manchester City. Brutally played, football gods (but thank you for re...

“Look Out”

January 24, 2024 12:09 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MB

Rosa and Lauren reflect on Spurs Women’s chaotic win at West Ham in the eye of Storm Isha, and make our latest sales pitch to Grace Clinton after another dazzling performance. There are flowers for Celin Bizet, Jess Naz and Eveliina Summanen (but only in midfield, Robert!), concerns about defence with a game against the inevitable Bunny Shaw looming, and the Amy Turner Agenda gets a boost. We preview the men’s cup game against City — can we do it without Sonny? — and dish out our latest cult...

“We’re Happening”

January 16, 2024 17:47 - 1 hour - 93.9 MB

Two big games to review for Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam, Tom and special guest Lauren: the spirited 2-2 draw at Old Trafford and Spurs Women’s chaotic comeback Cup win. We go through our winners and losers from Manchester, Sam gives us some photography tips, and Lauren gives us the rundown on that late, late victory over Sheffield United. Plus, naturally, our very excellent Culture picks.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom .....

“Step”

January 09, 2024 16:41 - 54 minutes - 74.2 MB

Join Ash, Rosa and Sam on their emotional rollercoaster as they react to being drawn against City in the Cup, and to the on-off-maybe-on-again-by-the-time-you-listen Radu Drăgușin transfer saga. We celebrate Pedro Porro’s golazo (does he score any other kind of goal?) and Rodrigo Bentancur’s surprise captaincy, and Rosa mourns her fallen hero GB. We talk ourselves into Timo Werner and look ahead to Old Trafford and an emotional game for the women against Sheffield United. Finally! Irish drama...

“All In White”

January 05, 2024 11:33 - 1 hour - 111 MB

Happy New Year, everyone! Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom review the up-and-down-then-up-again festive period, before making some wild/entirely accurate predictions for Spurs Men and Women as we enter the second half of the season. Which player are we most excited about watching in 2024? Any transfers getting us hot under the collar? Where do we think we'll finish? And, cruelly: Charlie makes everyone choose between FA Cup glory or Champions League qualification. Off football, we thank yo...

“RENAISSANCE”

December 19, 2023 11:58 - 1 hour - 105 MB

NORTH LONDON IS (FINALLY) OURS. HG cousin Lauren joins Billie, Sam and Rosa to celebrate Spurs Women’s historic win over Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Exactly how emotional were Lauren and Rosa at full time, and how many times have they watched *that* goal since? We assess Spurs men’s win at Forest, where some players continued to step up and others…did not. Finally, there’s our culture picks: Sam has found his people and Billie has begun his annual Oscars odyssey.  Follow us on...

“Peace of Mind”

December 13, 2023 10:50 - 1 hour - 85.3 MB

The vibes are back! No, we will not be taking questions on the West Ham game. Rosa, Sam and Tom revel in the thrashing of Newcastle, delight in Richarlison’s goals and general demeanour, thrill over our fullbacks and belatedly remember to honour our captain. We mourn Spurs Women’s midfield and hope we can get through to Christmas without anything (else) terrible happening (just the two NLDs in a week). Finally, Tom and Rosa prepare for the Strictly finale and Sam revisits an old favourite. ...

“Sink and Rise”

December 05, 2023 18:18 - 1 hour - 95.2 MB

We couldn’t end a losing run any other way. Billie, Rosa, Sam and Tom reconvene to celebrate the joyous nonsense of Tottenham Hotspur: somehow still Pep Guardiola’s bogey team. There’s love for Kulu, king of inspirational quotes, and (more) apologies for redemption arc completer GLC. We look ahead to Cuti’s return against West Ham, and cross our fingers as a depleted (of course) Spurs Women take on Man Utd. Finally, there’s restaurant recommendations, TOTP nostalgia, and an investigation int...

“You Better Believe!!!”

November 29, 2023 11:41 - 1 hour - 92.4 MB

Hang in there, brothers and sisters. Despite the crushing Lolo news, Ash, Charlie and Rosa desperately search for silver linings after defeat to Aston Villa. And they do pretty well! There's beautiful (if quite often offside) football to pore over, Charlie gets his big GLC moment, Ash pours one out for the ever-versatile Emerson Royal and is into Deki: Centre Mid, while Rosa makes sure we remember how good we're going to be once our stars return. There's a little look ahead to the men's team...

“Uneasy Feeling”

November 14, 2023 14:17 - 56 minutes - 77.6 MB

There definitely have been worse weeks to be coys…SURELY. Rosa, Sam and Tom regroup after that miserable loss at Wolves. Are there any bright spots? Are we really going to have to start GLC against Villa? Will the international break bring respite or break even more of our players? We celebrate Celin Bizet’s superb solo goal against Liverpool while wondering if the injury curse is coming for Spurs Women. Finally, Sam shares the culture pick that got him through his journey home from Molineux...

“Love and Thunder”

November 08, 2023 11:28 - 1 hour - 132 MB

Is everybody okay?? Lauren, Sam and Rosa try to put themselves back together after that cataclysmic, catastrophic, but somehow also completely heroic defeat. We talk through that perfect storm of red cards, horrific injuries and VAR nonsense against almost the worst possible opponent, and how we somehow came out of it loving Ange and our club even more? We also look back at a maddening draw for Spurs Women against Everton, cobble together a back line for the upcoming game at Wolves, and fina...

“Flying”

October 31, 2023 11:45 - 1 hour - 112 MB

This week, Rosa is joined by Ash, Billie, Sam and Tom as we look down on literally everyone else, because guess who is still top of the table? Your mighty Lilywhites! We discuss the Palace game—including which of the HG gang did the worst job of going incognito among the home fans—and give a heartfelt, joyous welcome back to our beloved Rodrigo Bentancur. We ponder our feelings about the upcoming game against The 🐍. To boo or not to boo? Plus! Mysterious rappers, bloodthirsty superheroes and...

“How Long?”

October 25, 2023 11:48 - 1 hour - 110 MB

We move! Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom explore the good, the bad and the subs of a straightforward(ish) home win over Fulham that saw your mighty Lilywhites return to the Premier League summit. Rosa’s Cuti Apology Tour continues apace, Tom ensures The Main Man at the Roast gets his flowers, Charlie pens his four hundredth Sonny love letter, Billie compares Micky to Aaron Lennon in the best possible way, and we enjoy Ange’s Disappointed Dad routine. Sights then turn to Selhurst, we toast the ...

“Red Velvet”

October 11, 2023 13:28 - 1 hour - 116 MB

A chance to go top of the league? Never in doubt! Billie, Rosa, Sam and Tom exhale after that unexpectedly-but-also-not tough game at Luton. We hand out flowers to our central defence heroes and our tireless Swede, and let Bissouma know we’re not angry, just disappointed. There's also plenty of time for us to wax lyrical about Evelina’s perfect free kick and Martha Thomas’s intelligent running as Spurs Women breeze past Bristol City on a delightful, sunny day at Brisbane Road. Plus! We final...

“If There’s Any Justice”

October 03, 2023 10:14 - 1 hour - 105 MB

We regret to inform you that football is cancelled. There is simply no way it can recover from such a terrible miscarriage of justice as that inflicted upon poor, plucky Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Oh wait, we don’t care! Billie, Sam, Tom and Rosa have the audacity to revel in our first win in that cursed fixture since forever. Elsewhere, Sam reports back from Stamford Bridge where Spurs Women played their first game of the season (more good vibes!), there are Luton predictio...

“Watch Me”

September 28, 2023 14:19 - 1 hour - 131 MB

The WSL is back! Rosa and HG cousins Caroline and Lauren are here with the essential info you need ahead of Spurs Women’s opening game*: our new coach, transfer ins and outs, the state of the squad, the players we’re most excited about, potential lineups, style of play—if there’s anything we forgot to cover it’s because we finally just ran out of time. Yes, our saviour (and new club captain) Bethany England is currently injured, but there’s still loads to be excited about. Just don’t look *t...

“The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance”

September 25, 2023 09:44 - 1 hour - 110 MB

What were we all so stressed about, eh? Turns out Ange even makes trips to the Emirates (relatively, kinda?) painless. Friend of the show Kate Storsved (an elite coys tweeter) joins Charlie, Sam and Tom all the way from Illinois as we offer up winners and losers from a wild NLD. There are flowers for almost everyone in lilywhite, an iconic dismissal of David Raya from Kate and a lovely big collective sigh of relief. We’re really good, guys! This confidence won’t come back to bite us at all, ...

“Barking Dogs Never Bite”

September 21, 2023 12:13 - 1 hour - 125 MB

Two HGs in a week? The Ange Effect. Billie and Charlie and joined by HG cousin Davina who gives her verdict on the fan forum. Stage-managed PR event or something to force us to reassess certain Levy takes? Did the Spurs Women contingent get a fair look? What needs to happen next? Davina has the inside line. We then preview a gargantuan NLD, share our more hysterical memories of this tortuous fixture (including one involving Charlie hiding in his own bedroom from his Arsenal father-in-law) an...

“Breathless”

September 19, 2023 10:34 - 1 hour - 124 MB

This week, the wins are late but the vibes are IMPECCABLE. Rosa and Sam are joined by cousin Lauren to drink in that wild, joyous, and fully deserved victory over Sheffield United: Kulu coolness, South Stand scenes, and of course the Richy Redemption Arc. We assess the final moves in the WSL transfer window and toast the new captain of Spurs Women (guess), Sam and Lauren try to convince Rosa to watch next week’s NLD (and maybe succeed?), and we dish out our culture picks.  We love you, Pomb...

“The Holiday”

September 13, 2023 12:31 - 1 hour - 117 MB

Is this the most chaotic episode of HG yet? Maybe! Blame the international break, frankly. Charlie, Billie, Rosa and (eventually) Sam check in to offer their winners and losers from a bizarre fortnight—which include Billie’s intimate dissection of Emerson Royal’s most Emerson Royal moment yet and a big, emotional back-and-forth on one of the hottest-button topics gripping coysland right now: Is Harry Kane Being a Bit of a Dick? We give out predictions and reasons we’re excited for Sheffield ...

“Feels Right”

September 05, 2023 10:59 - 1 hour - 98.9 MB

Carabao? Sorry, we don’t know her. The Ange revolution gets back on track with a glorious 5-2 demolition of Burnley in the late summer sun. Billie, Rosa and Tom bask in the Angeball glow and fume at the international break robbing us of our next fix. We grade the transfer window/Rosa gets in her feelings one last time about Dav, Bethany England returns to Spurs Women, Tom was EXTREMELY cultured, and we celebrate hattrick heroes with Billie’s Rolling in the Tweets.  Follow us on Twitter: @_H...

“Coin Flip”

August 31, 2023 11:47 - 1 hour - 73.4 MB

No one said change comes easily, right? Rosa is joined by HG cousins Sam and (making her official debut) Lauren as the Ange revolution encounters its first setback in the form of— surprise!—an embarrassing cup exit. We preview Burnley, look askance at the dying embers of the transfer window, discuss the incomings at Spurs Women (and beg the club once more to just TALK TO US), and dish out some lovely culture recommendations. We still believe in Ange, of course. Onwards, comrades! Follow us...

“Uncharted”

August 22, 2023 11:03 - 1 hour - 114 MB

Good vibes only! We carry the euphoria from White Hart Lane and an impressive win over Man Utd into an episode where we welcome two new members into the HG fam—Davina Pindoria and Sam Cornish. There’s time to get Davina and Sam’s coys origin stories before our flashy signings (plus Ash and Charlie) exchange winners and losers from that raucous Saturday night in N17. We predict Bournemouth away, wonder where that Harry Kane cash might go, find out the most dangerous place in the stadium Sam’s...

“In Sickness and In Health”

August 15, 2023 12:07 - 1 hour - 130 MB

The king is dead, long live a bunch of new kings! Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom bid final farewells to Harry, give heartfelt thanks to RB Leipzig for saving us from a thousand memes and offer our appreciation to you, our listeners, on helping us build our Ultimate Kane Leaving playlist (available here and here!). There’s no time to dwell, though, cos there’s an actual game of football to chat about! We give our winners and losers from the lively Brentford draw, before handing over to you lov...

“Energy”

August 09, 2023 11:15 - 1 hour - 120 MB

The season preview! A full HG crew reunite to tackle only the toughest questions: who do we want to beat more, Arsenal or Chelsea? Which N17 pub are we most excited to get back to? What pointless, petty hill are we going to die on this season? Plus some (kinda) serious questions about Harry, signings, inverted full-backs and league positions, etc! There’s also time for an update from the frontline of Billie’s ongoing war with Florian “Plettigoal” Plettenberg, a Women’s World Cup update from ...

“Onward”

August 03, 2023 11:09 - 1 hour - 62.4 MB

Season three, let’s go! The Kane saga, of course, dominates, and Billie, Charlie and Rosa consider all sides. Is giving up a final year of Harry worth it if we won’t have to watch him tear up the Premier League in non-lilywhite? Should we stop overthinking it and just cling onto our greatest-ever player until the very last and see what happens? Why are Bayern so embarrassing? And will Billie overcome his nemesis, Florian Plettenberg? We also chat through what we’re hoping to see ahead of Bre...

“The High Road”

July 24, 2023 10:20 - 1 hour - 48.6 MB

Men’s football has a problem. After Benjamin Mendy was found not guilty of rape and attempted rape, there followed an extraordinary outpouring of support on social media from fellow professionals. In spite of the horrific statistics about sexual assault and vanishingly low conviction rates, footballers chose to use their voices for this, and it was a dark day to be a female football fan. On this episode, Rosa is joined by Chris from Proud Lilywhites, Lauren from Goal Diggers, and Caroline an...

“The One Who Saves You”

June 07, 2023 15:08 - 1 hour - 98.9 MB

It's a new dawn, mates! The HG team welcomes Big Ange aboard the Tottenham rollercoaster in this bumper episode. Are we right to be so excited? What should our expectations be? Are there any red flags here? Which players stand to benefit the most? Are there any returning loanees worth a second/third/fiftieth go? What should the club do about the Harry Kane situation this summer? All these questions answered, plus our early transfer wish lists, some Aussie-flavoured culture recommendations an...

“Chaos Walking”

May 17, 2023 07:35 - 1 hour - 47.3 MB

Is it small time to celebrate That Lot absolutely bottling* the title? Doesn’t matter, we do it anyway, because there really isn’t that much else to enjoy this week. Billie indulges Rosa in more Ryan Mason chat than the loss at Villa probably deserves, before we assess the next candidates for the managerial merry go round. There’s some hot Sporting Director chat, a look ahead at next weekend’s double header and the match that will decide the fate of Spurs Women, and of course our culture pic...

“What Have You Got To Lose”

May 10, 2023 15:20 - 1 hour - 87.8 MB

We're back! Well, maybe not back-back, but Ryan Mason's functional lilywhites are still a very welcome sight. The full Hometown Glory team convene to assess the first few games of The (Second) Mason Era, applaud his tactical jiggery-pokery and big calls, and ask the big question: Should we be considering Ryan for the permanent job? Rosa makes her heartfelt case for Team Mason... but is anyone else there yet? Elsewhere, we ask if everything's OK with Harry Kane, consider who we' nick off rele...

“Why Didn’t You Tell Me”

April 25, 2023 13:30 - 1 hour - 118 MB

Billie, Charlie and Rosa react to news of Mauricio Pochettino's journey to the dark side. What stage of grief are we all at? Just how mad are we with Poch? Will it prompt Rosa to quit football forever? Speaking of betrayals, Billie goes through your suggestions for ultimate coys betrayals in a Rolling In the Tweets special that sounds (very) bleak but will raise your spirits (we promise). Oh, and there's another Spurs manager packing his bags! We consider how Cristian Stellini was ever left ...

“Cold Little Heart”

April 18, 2023 15:26 - 1 hour - 93.4 MB

We're back! Ash, Charlie, Rosa and Tom get deep in their coys feelings to survey the wreckage of a Bournemouth defeat that captures the toxic nature of Spurs right now. We cover the appalling treatment of Davinson Sánchez, ask how we got to a place where we can't even control possession at home to Bournemouth and wonder why the board seem to have simply given up on this season. The (leisurely) managerial hunt is covered—with the team debating the merits of bringing home Mauricio Pochettino—a...

“The Journey”

March 29, 2023 13:23 - 1 hour - 120 MB

We’re joined by Caroline and Rachel of the brilliant N17 Women podcast to highlight Spurs Women. We try to avoid getting granular about another North London derby defeat and instead take a long look at the state of things post the Rehanne Skinner sacking. Are we going to survive? How did we end up here? What do we want the future to look like? We vent our frustrations but also take time to celebrate some unlikely as well obvious standouts of the season. All that, and explosive culture picks t...

“Dead Again”

March 23, 2023 14:19 - 1 hour - 129 MB

What is up with Tottenham Hotspur? It's a timeless, impossible question, but one that Billie, Charlie and Rosa take on in a special episode. We break things down into four “buckets”: Antonio Conte, his players, our club's board and us, the fans. What blame can be apportioned out to each? Can we defend Antonio's iconic rant? Is criticism of “club culture” fair? Why, essentially, are we like this? We try to look at things from all sides—and wonder what comes next. Hosted on Acast. See acast....

“It’s Not Over Yet”

March 15, 2023 12:09 - 1 hour - 87.7 MB

We all care about top four again, we guess? Ash, Billie, Rosa and Tom put the Milan game in the bin and our dreams of glory away for another year. But we’re determined to enjoy the rest of the season as much as we can, and thank the gods for giving us a newly-galvanised Richarlison and Pedro Porro not a moment too soon. Elsewhere, we discuss the sad but inevitable sacking of Rehanne Skinner. Is relegation avoidable or have Spurs Women totally screwed this up? (That’s not a rhetorical question...

“Shrinking”

March 07, 2023 22:55 - 1 hour - 95.5 MB

Rosa, Billie and Tom attempt to unpack two miserable defeats in the Cup and league. We then rouse ourselves (sort of) for previews of the Milan and Forest games, and (it’s that time again!) look ahead to a new manager—talking Poch and getting your alternative boss ideas in Rolling In the Tweets. Plus there’s a Spurs Women update and some uplifting (we promise!) TV and movie chat (Billie watched Cocaine Bear!). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“That’s What I Like”

March 01, 2023 13:36 - 1 hour - 90.6 MB

Like London buses… we bag a second, confident derby win. Billie, Rosa and Tom discuss unlikely goal scorers, Richarlison and Kane, Ben Davies reaching 300 games and marvel at how bad Chelsea are. The team also preview Sheffield United in the FA Cup, and reflect on the women’s Cup loss. And there’s culture! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“The Show Goes On”

February 21, 2023 11:35 - 1 hour - 108 MB

Spurs might not be particularly good, but at least we’re not West Ham bad. Billie, Charlie, Rosa and (especially) Tom celebrate a nicely straightforward 2-0 home win full of heartwarming moments for Hometown Glory favourites—and give Cristian Stellini his tactical flowers. Attentions then turn to another big London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as we wonder if we’ll ever have a better chance to see off Chelsea (and if so, why are we all quite so nervous about this game?). There’s al...

“Road to Perdition”

February 14, 2023 11:39 - 1 hour - 52.8 MB

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! And YIKES. Billie and Rosa work through their feelings about our football club’s latest disaster(s) and try to find some reasons to be, if not cheerful, at least not totally depressed. Sure, we’re catastrophic on the pitch and we’re haemorrhaging first team players, but could this be The Chance for Sarr and Skipp? We shower affection on Beth England and Ash Neville but also fret about the future for Spurs Women. Is it time to move on from Rehanne Skinner? Final...

“Hero”

February 07, 2023 12:09 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Ah, Harry. Our Harry. What a man, and what a privilege to pay tribute here to our club's greatest goalscorer. Charlie, Rosa and Tom present H his flowers, and assess a masterful win over the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium's favourite visitors. There are fun redemption arcs for our guy Emerson Royal, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Gentle Ben as we dare to ask: Are we, finally, good again? We also, of course, spend a lot of time sharing fave Harry memories, and turn it over to you, our wonderful listene...
