“Welcome to the Concrete Jungle”

Season 4, Ep. 14

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.

  • 29. “For Sale”

    01:10:18||Season 4, Ep. 29
    This week we bid farewell to our domestic cup hopes and dreams, but not to Ange Postecoglou. Yet. Or maybe, by the time you listen to this. Who knows with this club? At least there’s no scary relegation maths update this week! BUT we do have, courtesy of Billie, an update on the revolution aka Change for Tottenham. Aux barricades, comrades! 
  • 28. “Dinner Guest”

    01:10:06||Season 4, Ep. 28
    This week: the most important win of the season? We recalculate the scary relegation maths, grade a frankly ridiculous transfer window, and enjoy booing snakes. Obviously you’ll want to stick around for our Grammys hot takes too. 
  • 27. “End Of The Road”

    01:03:37||Season 4, Ep. 27
    On a scale of one to oh my god it might really happen, how scared are we? Lauren and Rosa vainly try to protect their peace after another loss. We do have a win for the women to celebrate and proof that when you sign an actual outfield player, good things happen! Plus: (sort of) comforting culture picks. We’re going to need them.
  • 26. “Keep Your Eye On The Donut”

    01:31:22||Season 4, Ep. 26
    A Hometown Glory roundtable in which we tackle (almost) all the problems facing Tottenham right now, and attempt to find (LEGAL, NON VIOLENT) solutions. At least we’re trying, unlike You Know Who. 
  • 25. “Nothing But Net”

    51:02||Season 4, Ep. 25
    WE WON A GAME OF ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL
  • 24. “This Is The World We Live In”

    01:11:44||Season 4, Ep. 24
    It’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. 23
    At 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. 22
    Quizmaster 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. 21
    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!
