“All In White”
Season 3, Ep. 22
•
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.

24. “This Is The World We Live In”
01:11:44||Season 4, Ep. 24It’s the first episode of 2025, but the 2024 vibes are unfortunately lingering. Dare we look ahead to brighter days? Not 'til February at the earliest if we’re honest. Nevertheless, we persist. Rosa and Lauren are joined by debutant, Conor, as they exhume another loss, rage over unconscionable officiating, and salute Brandon Austin’s actual professional debut. There are new signings for the men and women, and two cup games against Merseyside opposition to preview (and that’s all we’re going to say about THAT). Plus! Conor and Lauren share their cultural highlights of 2024. Happy new year, everyone! May it bring us better COYS days, eventually.23. “The Final Frame”
01:11:40||Season 4, Ep. 23At the time of recording, it is the penultimate day of 2024. Tottenham Hotspur are languishing in 11th, possibly 12th by the time you listen to this. The fanbase is tearing itself apart. The squad is in literal pieces. It’s time, once again, for a Hometown Glory therapy session. Rosa and Billie get in their feelings about it all, then see out 2024 with their favourite culture picks.22. The Hometown Glory Christmas Quiz 2024
01:07:05||Season 4, Ep. 22Quizmaster Tom puts Adam, Lauren, Rosa and Rule The Roost's Jack through the Yuletide ringer. Who will come out on top? Fancy answering some tenuous seasonal pun based trivia? Look no further. Unwrap a Tottenham treat that won't let you down.21. “Adrenaline”
47:07||Season 4, Ep. 21We did it, you guys. We survived Tottenham’s latest attempt to kill us with *that* game against United. Lauren, Rosa and Sam delight in Djed, Dom and Archie, make peace with Forster’s total headloss, and try not to think too much about what awaits us against Liverpool. But we’re semi finalists! Ange is buzzing and so are we. Merry Christmas!20. “Go Bang Time”
01:02:37||Season 4, Ep. 20A win! A very palpable win! Lauren and Rosa exhale deep sighs of relief after Southampton 0 Spurs 5. Is this how Newcastle fans felt? We agree to sacrifice Liverpool in the league (lol) for a win against United in the Carabao and ponder the meaning of Spurs Women’s draw at Brighton (tl;dr: we need some more goals from somewhere). Finally! Rosa got emosh at the Strictly final and Lauren binged more heisty Spanish drama. Very similar vibes.19. “tv off”
01:10:27||Season 4, Ep. 19Back on our existential bullshit. Billie, Lauren, Rosa and Sam sit with that defeat for a while. We knew it was coming, so why does it hurt? (Yeah we all know why.) And what now?18. “Paramedic!”
59:28||Season 4, Ep. 18Finally the wild pendulum of results has calmed down with 2 consecutive draws but everyone is still mad? Ash, Lauren and Rosa discuss squad depth decimation, how Ange is more sinned against than sinning, nightmare fixture congestion, a six pointer for the women, Kendrick, Drake’s embarrassing lawsuit, and Strictly getting a bit too Brexit again. Please enjoy!17. “Sorry 4 The Wait”
01:03:29||Season 4, Ep. 17You can’t say we didn’t enjoy it while it lasted. What an amazing 48 hours that was: one day for each week of post-Ipswich seethe. Billie, Lauren and Rosa deal with the fallout from an incredible piece of vintage Tottenham nonsense to ask: was this our best performance in the PL? And - given the subsequent givens - was it worth it? Plus! Spurs Women get the goal of the season, a clean sheet, and a potential answer to *their* goalkeeping woes at least. As the rebrand says, shine on you Spurs.16. “I Don’t Care Anymore”
01:06:17||Season 4, Ep. 16The latest news from the LDN Entertainment Bowl! North London derby blues, Villa and Man City previews, a lengthy (ish) ban for Rodrigo Bentancur, and the most pressing issue of the day: a hilariously ill-timed club rebrand.
