“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?

“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.

“The Weekend”
1/12/2026
Ash, Lauren and Rosa discuss the diverging fortunes of Spurs men and women. On the one hand: the season is over. Injuries are piling up. No discernible transfer strategy in sight. On the other: SIGNE GAUPSET Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“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.

“Demon Days”
12/15/2025
The office Powerleague team returns to get absolutely thumped by SEAN DYCHE’S Nottingham Forest. What is there even to say. Elsewhere, the women came agonisingly close to an incredible victory over Man Utd but were undone by, essentially, years of underinvestment. Crazy how bad decisions come back to bite you, isn’t it?

“We Up”
12/8/2025
Tottenham followed up their best result at St James’ Park since the halcyon days of Steve Bruce with a very sensible 2 nil win over Brentford. Ash, Billie, Lauren and Rosa enjoy the break from Boogate, swoon over Xavi, and present the case for the prosecution AND defence of one Richarlison de Andrade. Elsewhere, our beloved captain Beth England led the fightback against Villa, supported by the magic of Olivia Holdt. Also! Is cinema dead? For Billie’s sake, let’s hope not. Hosted on Acast.

“Stranger”
11/30/2025
Following a spirited but ultimately futile showing against PSG, our extremely unmighty lilywhites crashed and burned against the mighty Fulham. At home, of course. Lauren and Rosa discuss the big questions: what on earth is Frank doing and for the love of god, why? Do we hate the players more than they hate us? How much trouble is the club really in? And of course: to boo or not to boo? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Mayday”
11/23/2025
We count the ways in which the team violated Lauren’s Rule of Three for derbies: 1) Don’t embarrass the shirt 2) Don’t embarrass the fans 3) Don’t embarrass yourselves And we give our sincerest, most heartfelt thanks for Martin Ho and the players of Spurs Women, who understand professional pride.

“GOOD FEELiNGS”
11/16/2025
Your monthly Spurs Women deep dive is here, and in a truly serendipitous bit of timing, we’re bringing it to you right after a hard fought and well earned NLD draw. The perfect time for Lauren, Rosa and HG debutant Charlotte to assess the last few weeks: the highs, the lows, the fine-for-nows. The arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards Spurs Women being good, we’re pretty sure. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

“We Is Us”
11/10/2025
After a careful review of the evidence (tactics, team selection, results) and the mitigating factors (criminal squad building, increasingly surreal injury crisis, personality mismatch with a passionate but quite mad fanbase) we give Thomas Frank his first grades of the season. Let us know how much you disagree! Also, come and support Spurs Women at the NLD next weekend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

“The Traitors”
11/3/2025
The fans hate the players, the players hate the fans, we all hate the stadium. Journey with us into the dark heart of Tottenham Hotspur. Unless you’re here for Tottenham Women, in which case, please continue to enjoy professional, competent football. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“Thinking Clean”
10/26/2025
The clocks have gone back, the nights are drawing in, it is COLD…but we have the lovely glow of a 3 nil win at Everton to keep us warm and snuggly. Has Micky grown into the captaincy? Does everyone owe Vic an apology? Can we give Sarr a group hug? Elsewhere, we anxiously await the returning internationals of Spurs Women to work out if our season is finished or not… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“50/50”
10/20/2025
Another home league game, another defeat, just the start we wanted to our run of six games in two weeks. What went wrong (this time)? Is it the squad? The system? The stadium? Is it US? At least Lauren made the right choice at the weekend: watching Olivia Holdt weave her magic against Birmingham City. No YOU’RE worried we might lose her (and Toko, and Martin) to a bigger club.
