“Onward”

Season 3, Ep. 1
•

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.

    Wow, that one hurt. Lauren and Rosa feel all their feelings in the aftermath of Spurs Women’s FA Cup final defeat: heartbreak, angst, pride, and belief that we’ll be back, because this is only the beginning. Also! The men broke their losing streak with victory against Burnley: you can have that one, lads, because if you do anything stupid this week…

  • 40. “United In Grief”

     01:15:22
    Billie, Lauren and Rosa get together in the aftermath of another chastening week and exhort the fanbase — and our basket case of a club — to hold its nerve and stay the Ange course. (But also let’s end the season now.) We discuss another comeback from Spurs Women at Everton, and forward to the FA CUP FINAL 🤩. See you at Wembley! Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory

    This is your post-NLD debrief: a safe space for sadness, anger, and crackpot conspiracy theories. Take a seat, feel all your feelings, and hopefully feel slightly better afterwards? PS we love you forever, Cuti.Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory

  • 38. “No Sleep”

     01:04:20
    The gang assemble for possibly our last peaceful pod on this earth. Yes, it’s the NLD this weekend and nothing can stop it from happening. We share memories of past trauma, choose the player we most need to have a Big Game, and Billie, Lauren and Sam tell the fanbase (and Rosa) to get its act together. We have a look back at Spurs Women’s draw at Man Utd (and hope we can iron out the last wrinkles before we meet again in the final) and forward to Brighton at the weekend. We wrap it all up with some culture before we head off to make the appropriate offerings to our gods: the San Ti aren’t coming to save us from this one. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGloryThe team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom...

    I don’t know if you heard, but Spurs Women are going to the FA CUP FINAL!!!! Lauren and Rosa take a long, joyous look back at that historic Sunday in Tottenham as our magnificent women came back from conceding an early goal to beat Leicester City 2-1 at extra time. We discuss the vibes, the lineup, the subs, the tactics, the fitness and anything else we can think of, and still have time for a quick shoutout to the only men that matter (nope, not those clowns). Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGloryThe team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom...

  • 36. “Challengers”

     01:11:37
    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: @_HometownGloryThe team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom...

  • 35. In My Place

     01:09:59
    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: @_HometownGloryThe team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom...

  • 34. “Punch Drunk Love”

     57:45
    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: @_HometownGloryThe team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom...

     01:15:52
    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: @_HometownGloryThe team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom...
