“Venom”
We pick the bones out of a raucous visit to Stamford Bridge: How did we manage to get out of there with a point despite that performance? (Spoiler: Richarlison and Perišić.) Are we sometimes too quick to absolve Antonio of blame? What worried us about the performance and why did so many of the players look spooked by the occasion? How impressive is it that they pulled themselves together for the big finish? Will Ivan and Bissouma change the game for us this season? Does Romero need to chill out just a bit? And which bit of Tuchel theatre does Tom describe as a "war crime"? We move on to preview the Wolves game and ask if there's anyone we want to see come into the XI, while encouraging Charlie not to make any more cocky predictions. Finally: lovely culture picks!

“3 Peat”
01:22:55|This episode’s agenda includes but is not limited to: defensive lapses (again), porous midfields (again), toothless attacks (again), Sam spending all his time and money on a club that simply does not deserve him (again), and for the first time ever, a Spurs Women SNAKE. We are rattled, but we go again.
“On Fire”
01:31:51|HG’s newest signing, Nick, joins Lauren and Rosa as they celebrate the comprehensive destruction of Everton: what were we all so worried about? Nick unveils his Spurs Mount Rushmore, we have flowers for Kulu & Cuti, mild concern for Brennan, and absolutely no feelings whatsoever about the next game at St James’ Park. Just…is the bar in hell, or underneath it?
3. “CAN’T SAY”
01:24:53||Season 4, Ep. 3Here we go again: Tottenham, why are you like this? Adam, Lauren, Rosa and Sam chew over that ridiculous draw at Leicester and try not to be *too* mad about it. Ahead of the next game Adam has the gang reeling over his hate for Everton (!) and Sean Dyche (!!), we get our hopes up with the Women’s League Cup draw, and there are not one but TWO restaurant recommendations.
2. “Come Back For More”
01:23:41||Season 4, Ep. 2The new season is upon us! Billie, Lauren, Rosa and Sam talk lovely new strikers, idiotic midfielders, departing kings, and returning players hopefully not seeking revenge. We go through our hopes and dreams for the rest of the transfer window, make our predictions for the upcoming season, and accidentally have a meltdown about Leicester. Finally! Billie loves a horror movie or three, and we’re a restaurants podcast now?
1. “Wake Up”
01:34:07||Season 4, Ep. 1We’re back! The gang kick off by celebrating ten years of our gentle Welsh king, Ben Davies. We get excited about the younguns coming through, pass judgement on the new kits, make at least one outlandish prediction about Spurs Women, and spiral a bit - a BIT - about the transfer window. We’ve made a signing though! New HG cousin Adam gives us his Spurs Mount Rushmore, featuring…Rohan Ricketts?

42. “Thank God”
01:28:40||Season 3, Ep. 42Lauren, Rosa and Sam lay an often turbulent and increasingly terrifying season to rest with a huge sigh of relief - they didn’t do it! - and a side of WTF - Poch sacked? We discuss the season’s heroes, villains, highs and lows, dish out grades and culture picks, and look forward to a summer of sport…and apparently a general election?! Time to take out the trash!
41. “Battlefield”
01:04:31||Season 3, Ep. 41Wow, 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||Season 3, Ep. 40Billie, 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
39. “Plague”
01:08:35||Season 3, Ep. 39This 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
