“NI BIEN NI MAL”
4/27/2026
We did it! We won a game of league football in 2026! But at what cost? Three points better off but two (more) players down as the psychological torture that is the 2025/26 season continues. The women stopped the rot at the stadium as our faith in Martin is restored (pending information about Beth England’s future). Plus! Billie and Lauren saw the Michael Jackson movie and they, like everyone else, have THOUGHTS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Letting Someone Go”
4/19/2026
Signs of life, or a reanimated corpse? Lauren and Rosa try to process the trauma of having that longed-for win (and the joy of THAT Xavi goal) snatched from them at, not coincidentally, the death. Walk with us as we descend ever deeper into the bowels of hell. If a miracle is coming to save us, please let it be soon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“The Hollow Men”
4/12/2026
So…that’s probably that, then? Bye and thanks for nothing, Tottenham Hotspur. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“A Change is Gonna Come”
4/6/2026
It’s official: Roberto De Zerbi is the new Tottenham manager, and we’ll just have to make the best of it. Alas, we also need that energy for Spurs Women after their FA Cup exit at Chelsea. We’ll beat them one day. Probably. Surely?? At least Lauren and Rosa can celebrate watching the same show at the same time now that The Pitt is finally - FINALLY - on British telly. We take the wins wherever we can find them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Let’s Stay Together”
3/30/2026
More managers than home league wins. It’s the end of the Tudor era - but is it the beginning of a new reign of terror? Ash, Lauren and Rosa get into it about Roberto De Zerbi - all of it. Elsewhere, another miserable away NLD for the women and a bad moment for Martin Ho. At least Ash and Lauren might have Jamaica to cheer on in the World Cup? 🙏 Learn more about your ad choices.

"I Love You, I Love You Not"
3/25/2026
The week that Tottenham fans showed up…but no one else did. The HG crew rank their levels of existential despair after that terrible performance, and wonder where we go from here. Are they really going to hire someone called ADOLF - or someone even worse? Spurs Women offer a glimmer of hope after their latest Bunny Shaw ordeal with the genuine thrill of a new Olivia Holdt contract. Plus! Find out where we all stand on the biggest issue of the day: Jorginho vs Chappell Roan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"The Way Back"
3/16/2026
Monday morning without a side of existential dread! What a concept. Tottenham showed some fight - at long last - to earn a point at Anfield. A draw has never felt more like a win. Meanwhile, the stadium curse has fully infected the women’s team as they fell to Everton, in a game we’ve all seen approx 1678 times before. Plus! Timmy C has the most Marty Supreme, and therefore the most COYS, Oscars night ever. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Wow.”
3/11/2026
Five goals conceded. Two concussed players. One generationally catastrophic goalkeeping performance. Just another regular week of Tottenham Hotspur. THANK GOD the women are back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Drowning”
3/2/2026
Weeks go by. Seasons change. And yet, Tottenham cannot win a game of league football. Lauren and Rosa fight both PGMOL and the yawning abyss, and wonder if it’s time to call it: yes, Tottenham are terrible, but also…is men’s football just over? Learn more about your ad choices.

“I’ll Remember”
2/25/2026
This week: death and glory. Spurs men plummet to the depths of the abyss while the women fight to the end for victory in the cup. We have an emotional status check in, make battle plans to take on PGMOL, discuss coping mechanisms, and simply cannot choose between all the magnificent performances from Monday night at the Copperjax stadium. But Martin said they didn’t practise penalties????? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Cruel Intentions”
2/16/2026
Johan and Vinai finally found the password to Fabio Paratici’s account, so welcome, Igor Tudor! And farewell Johnny Heitinga, we hardly knew you. History puns, short-lived jobs, little (giant) fires everywhere…a lot to get through for Billie, Lauren and Rosa this week. There’s also the small matter of Spurs Women’s era-heralding 7-3 (that’s SEVEN) defeat of Aston Villa: which of the 6 (SIX) different goalscorers did it best? And are microdramas the next big thing (sorry)? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Who’s That Girl”
2/12/2026
This is your space for minimal chaos and maximum competence: our monthly Spurs Women deep dive. Have the new signings settled? How will we cope without Clare & Toko in March? Which golazo against West Ham was our favourite? All that, and a Bad Bunny Super Bowl review. Excellence abounds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”
2/8/2026
Cuti Romero: hero, villain, both, or neither? Relegation: this season, next season, or the one after? It’s the end of everything and the beginning of nothing: Lauren, Rosa and Tom unpack another frankly insane week in the life of Tottenham Hotspur. Somehow Actual Madonna Ciccone showing up to watch both Spurs Women academy AND Spurs Women at the stadium feels totally normal. (Please buy the club!) Learn more about your ad choices.

GRACIAS POR NADA
2/2/2026
“Unbelievable, but true and disgraceful”One weekend, two games, three golazos. Xavi has finally arrived. So has Matilda Vinberg? Things on the pitch are looking up! Shame about the most incompetent, inexplicable, embarrassing transfer window yet. We have opinions. And so does our captain, Comrade Cuti Romero. This is the way. Learn more about your ad choices.

"UGH!"
1/25/2026
Two games, one point, an utter debacle of a weekend. Lauren and Rosa debate strategies for getting through the rest of the season in the absence of a managerial sacking, show Xavi and his grandma some love, and reset their expectations for Spurs Women. (But miss us with any ‘Dr Tottenham’ labels for Martin Ho’s team.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Dead Certainties”
1/19/2026
No, he hasn’t been sacked yet. Billie, Lauren and Rosa hit rock bottom (they hope). Breaking points, personal lows, Solanke vs Tel, potential Dortmund attendance levels…truly, the poisoned chalice that is Tottenham Hotspur runneth over. Meanwhile, Spurs Women show off three more debutants and another dazzling display from Signe Gaupset. Plus! Industry returns and everyone pretends they understand shorting. Hosted on Acast.

“Ladies Hit Squad”
1/5/2026
New year, same old Spurs - at least as far as the men are concerned. For the women, it’s a bright new day with five - that’s FIVE - signings made this window. The men could quite literally never. Or they could, but it wouldn’t make any difference. Or would it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Best to You”
12/29/2025
Billie, Lauren and Rosa take the positive(s?) from the Palace win, and make their transfer wish lists (in AND out) and COYS resolutions for the year ahead. Because it’s the last pod of the year, we take one last weepy look back at Bilbao, the parade, and all the love we can give this club when it just shows us it cares. And most importantly of all, we dish out our Best of 2025 culture picks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
