Hometown Gory

We 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! 

A 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. 

Back 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?

Finally 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! 

You 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. 

The 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.

Five (five!!) podcasters, two post mortems, a considerable amount of head loss, one embarrassing club. (Plus, of course, our culture picks.) And we also discovered this podcast has haters. It’s all engagement, guys, so thank you from all of us at Levy Lovers HQ. 

Is the stadium a stealth fortress? Maybe! Billie, Lauren and Rosa enjoy another thumping home win with flowers for Sarr, Solanke and PFA players rep, Gentle Ben (of course). We ponder the lineup for Galatasaray away (welcome to hell, Will Lankshear?) and wonder if Ipswich at home is actually a big mentality test (yes). We give our verdict on a very ropey but crucial win for the women against West Ham, and pray that we get out of the Etihad alive. Plus! Billie’s film reviews, Lauren’s Netflix adventures, and Rosa’s first experience of Tottenham’s former IKEA, the insanity that is Drumsheds.
