A Spurs x Culture Podcast

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

  • 42. “Patiently Waiting”

    01:14:29||Season 4, Ep. 42
    Crystal Palace don’t matter. Aston Villa don’t matter. Nothing matters except WE’RE GOING TO BILBAO. Even a plastic pitch and some weirdly bantery Norwegians couldn’t stop us getting there. Conor, Lauren and Rosa discuss moments and men of the match (the real him??), manifesting, and that magical feeling of making it to A EUROPEAN CUP FINAL. Elsewhere, we might (should) be saying goodbye to Robert but hopefully not Olga, the WSL gets a meh rebrand, and Andor and Andre 3000 are great. BILBAO!!!!

  • 41. “Breathe With Me”

    01:05:58||Season 4, Ep. 41
    This week in Tottenham; two largely pointless games for Ash, Lauren and Rosa to look back on, a somewhat concerning Spurs Women fan event, and the return of Injury Crisis FC at exactly the worst possible moment. Maddison is dead and maybe so is our chance at Europa glory? Now would be a good time for our ginger Swede to remember who he is. Also: congrats Harry. You finally got your trophy. We hope it makes you happy. (No seriously, we do 💙)
  • 40. “FEEL.”

    57:44||Season 4, Ep. 40
    We’re half way to Bilbao! Or are we? We should be, right? But we’re Tottenham, so ARGH. Whatever happens, it was a night when the greatest fanbase in the land showed up in all their glory to support the team they love. This is what football is meant to be. COYS 💙
  • 39. “Weak”

    01:21:16||Season 4, Ep. 39
    Conor, Lauren and Rosa look back at two forgettable Liverpool games, ahead to another weekend of nonsense, and pause to wonder if our gang of unlovable rogues will embarrass us all against the Norwegians - or will they discover some professional pride? We’ve got additional thorny questions from listeners, more financial gaslighting from the club, and some mildly scary culture picks.
  • 38. “Is Anybody Out There?”

    01:06:36||Season 4, Ep. 38
    This week in Tottenham: everyone has just given up. The players can’t be arsed. The club is briefing against itself. Scott Munn is leaving and no one will ever know what his job really was. But we’re still here! Billie, Lauren and Rosa do their best with what they’re given (which is more than we can say for Tottenham). Bonus! Some lovely culture picks from you, our lovely listeners. 
  • 37. “Eurostep”

    01:17:50||Season 4, Ep. 37
    Lauren, Rosa and Tom take some time out to enjoy every single thing about that out-of-nowhere win at Eintracht Frankfurt. Everybody did their jobs! There were actual leaders on the pitch! No one did anything catastrophically stupid! Guys…could we?
  • 36. “I’m Goin’ Down”

    57:09||Season 4, Ep. 36
    Lauren and Rosa discuss the fallout from Wolves and preview Thursday’s game at Frankfurt and the women’s fixture against Villa. But really, does it matter? Lauren enjoyed a lovely steak and a glass of red at least.
