“You Better Believe!!!”

Season 3, Ep. 18

Hang in there, brothers and sisters. Despite the crushing Lolo news, Ash, Charlie and Rosa desperately search for silver linings after defeat to Aston Villa. And they do pretty well! There's beautiful (if quite often offside) football to pore over, Charlie gets his big GLC moment, Ash pours one out for the ever-versatile Emerson Royal and is into Deki: Centre Mid, while Rosa makes sure we remember how good we're going to be once our stars return. There's a little look ahead to the men's team's visit to the Etihad, while Rosa tells us exactly what went so very wrong in Spurs Women's thrashing at the hands of Man City last weekend. Plus! Ash is spun out by Saltburn, Charlie has a spiritual awakening thanks to André 3000 and Rosa has mixed feelings about the two movies she watched this week.

  • 9. “Dopamine Lit”

    01:45:05||Season 4, Ep. 9
    There are few things in footballing life as delicious as watching United implode, and that is watching them implode because of your team’s exquisite, untouchable football. Angeball is back and better than ever, and we’re cherishing every second in an absurdly overlong pod. Elsewhere, the women were severely rattled but got out of Villa Park alive thanks to our captain saving the day once again. We preview so so much football, and bring you our culture picks. 
  • 8. “Clap For Em”

    01:17:27||Season 4, Ep. 8
    Not one but TWO Spurs victories to luxuriate in this week. Well, technically three, but we’ll draw a veil over that Coventry performance. Madders is back! Solanke has arrived! Maite Oroz is tiny (but awesome)! We’re all very, very happy. Long may it continue (please). 
  • 7. “What’s Wrong With Them?”

    01:32:13||Season 4, Ep. 7
    We lost to them (again) and it was ghastly (again). We get in our feelings about it and then put those feelings in a bin and move on. We don’t have time for it, we’ve got a new WSL season to preview and a VERY sexy deadline day signing to discuss. Plus: food, music, telly, Seattle: it’s our culture picks. 
  • 6. “All The Stars”

    01:38:37||Season 4, Ep. 6
    Welcome to the Hometown Glory 5 a side draft! Billie, Lauren, Nick and Rosa pick their dream teams from the rogues’ gallery that is 1992-onwards era Spurs. Who got the most coveted midfielder? Who picked a VERY triggering goalkeeper? Where does everyone rank our elite defenders? All this plus a Spurs Women update, culture picks, and an emotional check in before the NLD. 
  • 5. “3 Peat”

    01:22:55||Season 4, Ep. 5
    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.  
  • 4. “On Fire”

    01:31:51||Season 4, Ep. 4
    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. 3
    Here 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. 2
    The 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. 1
    We’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? If you fancy skipping to certain bits:02:30 - Adam's Mount Rushmore14:45 - GBX21:44 - Preseason thoughts/transfer window angst56:20 - New kit1:03:05 - Spurs Women update1:21:18 - Culture!
