“Look At You”
Season 5, Ep. 10
•
Nearly two years and seven - SEVEN - games later, Tottenham finally broke the curse of the international break. Lauren, Rosa and Tom wonder just what to do now we don’t have to spend two weeks furious at our team. There’s even more to enjoy at Spurs Women as we move above Ballon d’Or team of the year with a win against Brighton. It’s almost certainly an accident, but our club might actually be competent again. (Except for that leadership team nonsense.)

19. “Stranger”
01:05:53||Season 5, Ep. 19Following a spirited but ultimately futile showing against PSG, our extremely unmighty lilywhites crashed and burned against the mighty Fulham. At home, of course. Lauren and Rosa discuss the big questions: what on earth is Frank doing and for the love of god, why? Do we hate the players more than they hate us? How much trouble is the club really in? And of course: to boo or not to boo?18. “Mayday”
57:27||Season 5, Ep. 18We count the ways in which the team violated Lauren’s Rule of Three for derbies: 1) Don’t embarrass the shirt 2) Don’t embarrass the fans 3) Don’t embarrass the clubAnd we give our sincerest, most heartfelt thanks for Martin Ho and the players of Spurs Women, who understand professional pride.17. “GOOD FEELiNGS”
01:29:08||Season 5, Ep. 17Your monthly Spurs Women deep dive is here, and in a truly serendipitous bit of timing, we’re bringing it to you right after a hard fought and well earned NLD draw. The perfect time for Lauren, Rosa and HG debutant Charlotte to assess the last few weeks: the highs, the lows, the fine-for-nows. The arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards Spurs Women being good, we’re pretty sure.16. “We Is Us”
01:15:37||Season 5, Ep. 16After a careful review of the evidence (tactics, team selection, results) and the mitigating factors (criminal squad building, increasingly surreal injury crisis, personality mismatch with a passionate but quite mad fanbase) we give Thomas Frank his first grades of the season. Let us know how much you disagree! Also, come and support Spurs Women at the NLD next weekend.15. “The Traitors”
01:21:05||Season 5, Ep. 15The fans hate the players, the players hate the fans, we all hate the stadium. Journey with us into the dark heart of Tottenham Hotspur. Unless you’re here for Tottenham Women, in which case, please continue to enjoy professional, competent football.14. “Thinking Clean”
01:10:44||Season 5, Ep. 14The clocks have gone back, the nights are drawing in, it is COLD…but we have the lovely glow of a 3 nil win at Everton to keep us warm and snuggly. Has Micky grown into the captaincy? Does everyone owe Vic an apology? Can we give Sarr a group hug? Elsewhere, we anxiously await the returning internationals of Spurs Women to work out if our season is finished or not…13. “50/50”
01:01:37||Season 5, Ep. 13Another home league game, another defeat, just the start we wanted to our run of six games in two weeks. What went wrong (this time)? Is it the squad? The system? The stadium? Is it US? At least Lauren made the right choice at the weekend: watching Olivia Holdt weave her magic against Birmingham City. No YOU’RE worried we might lose her (and Toko, and Martin) to a bigger club. Also: JUSTICE FOR AMANDA.12. “A Hopeful Transmission”
01:00:37||Season 5, Ep. 12Spurs Women are still on course for 42 points AND they remain above Ballon d’Or team of the year. Lauren and Rosa review the loss that feels like a draw at Chelsea, check in on the international men of Tottenham, and look ahead to more Midlands mayhem with games against Birmingham and Villa.11. “I’M THAT GIRL”
01:45:44||Season 5, Ep. 11Look at us! Welcome to your monthly Hometown Glory x Spurs Women deep dive. Lauren, Rosa and special guest Jacob discuss the new reality: competent defending, non-Bethany England goalscorers, a tactically astute manager, almost as many wins already as the whole of last season…what else could we possibly ask for? (We have some ideas about that too.)
