Explore every episode of the podcast Hometown Glory: Spurs x Culture

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

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, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 mini Mexico travelogue, and the latest COYS celebrities.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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!

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 Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ... And we're on Instagram: @_hometownglorygram Hosted on Acast.

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, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 is the 🐐 and does Lauren love musicals now?  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 coup.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 returning James Daniel Maddison to us).  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 culture picks.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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.

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 ...

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!

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 you, our glorious listeners, for sending over your 2023 culture highlights, and we offer up on our diverse picks from the year just gone.

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 Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 into David Fincher’s colour palette.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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's visit to the Etihad, while Rosa tells us exactly what went so very wrong in Spurs Women's thrashing at the hands of Man City last weekend. Plus! Ash is spun out by Saltburn, Charlie has a spiritual awakening thanks to André 3000 and Rosa has mixed feelings about the two movies she watched this week.

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, and Rosa and Tom talk books, Milli Vanilli and their beloved Johannes from Strictly.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 finally soothe our souls with some culture.

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!

“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. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 scintillating start made by Spurs Women and give up some nicely diverse Culture picks.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 finally have a new director of football. Is this the end for Don Fabio? All this, and some lovely culture picks too.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 predictions, culture recommendations, and the most demented edition of Rolling In the Tweets to date.  If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Liverpool madness 36:00 — The reffing 40:00 — RItT: Liverpool meltdown special 57:00 — Culture 1:06:00 — Spurs Women Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 *too* closely at that first fixture… *Chelsea away. Don’t worry, everything will be FINE. Totally fine!  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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, right? Elsewhere, Kate provides her brilliant coys origin story, we give some Liverpool predictions and, of course, hand out culture recommendations left, right and centre like we’re James Maddison.  If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — NLD 48:00 — Kate answers our Spurs 7 1:04:00 — Liverpool preview 1:11:00 — Culture picks Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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) and daydream who’d be the best player to score the winner (and receive a certain red card). There’s also time, of course, for culture—where Billie gives thanks to friend-of-the-show Constance for her revelation that acclaimed Korean director (and Billie’s goat) Bong Joon-ha is fully coys. It’s a wild one!  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.

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, Pombo 🤍 🐦 Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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 United's visit to N17 and offer a hearty shoutout to the work of THFC Flags, before ruminating on the weird pre-season Spurs Women are working through. What can we all do to inject a bit more oomph into the coming season? There’s also, of course, just enough time to dole out some juicy culture recommendations.

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: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom ...

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.

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.

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 taken his camera, discover how many Érik Lamela shirts Davina owns, consider what comes next for the Trust’s ticket prices campaign and brainstorm how we might carry that World Cup energy into the upcoming WSL season. And, of course, there’s time for our culture picks. Welcome, Davina and Sam!  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

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 lovely lot for a Rolling In the Tweets: Debuts Special. There are bold predictions made for the Man United home opener, hellos said to a new Spurs Women midfielder and nervy looks given to England’s World Cup semi—all before you get our weekly culture picks. Exciting times, eh?  If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Kane! 15:00 — A new era at Brentford 50:00 — United predictions 1:00:00 — Rolling In the Tweets 1:15:00 — Spurs Women 1:25:00 — Culture Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

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 Rosa, tales from Tom’s Greek odyssey and some delicious culture recommendations.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

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 Brentford, salute the Trust’s stance regarding the revolting ticket price hikes, delight in your wonderful responses to a summer signing-themed Rolling In the Tweets and get a Women’s World Cup update from Rosa. Plus, of course, some juicy culture picks. It’s good/terrifying to be back.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

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 and Rachel from N17 Women for a necessary conversation about misogyny in football, what this means for us as fans, and what, if anything, can be done.  CW: rape, sexual assault, domestic abuse  @chrispaouros @SpursLGBT @laurencoys @GoalDiggersUK @Rachellaracohen @cgstefko @spurswomenblog Hosted on Acast.

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 and a big sigh of relief over Spurs Women living to fight another WSL day. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Our Aussie king 23:45 — Which players will he improve, and which loan players should be welcomed back? 39:10 — Kane. Arrgggghhhh! 48:20 — Who should we buy ASAP? 54:20 — Culture picks: Aussie Special 1:07:00 — Spurs Women Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

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 picks.  *sorry, exceeding all expectations, they honestly didn’t think they were going to do it, they’re just so proud of their team and their special bond, it’s definitely definitely not the biggest bottling in PL history Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

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 relegated clubs, look ahead to the double-header at the stadium for the huge Spurs Women relegation showdown and, of course, hand over some brilliant culture recommendations. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Mason so far 19:25 — Harold Kane 33:15 — Raiding relegated clubs 38:20 — Villa 43:24 — Spurs Women 52:00 — Culture picks Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

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 in charge, ask what comes next and break down that (latest) open letter from “Daniel”. There's also time to mull over a big point for Spurs Women in their relegation battle and an enormous upcoming fixture against Brighton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, plus some lovely culture picks.

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—as is the treacherous run of upcoming fixtures. We also look to a tough weekend for Spurs Women before turning in our latest culture picks. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Bournemouth 10:15 — Dav 😔 29:30 — Managerial hunt and the next few fixtures 51:45 — Spurs Women 53:35 — Culture!

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.

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 too.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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.

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, honest.) Finally, Billie celebrates the Oscars doing the right thing. Joy and redemption is possible! Your move, Tottenham.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
