40 Yard Screamers

Season 3, Ep. 83

As the hoardings proclaimed, this week we were 'Here for the 40 Yard Screamers'.


In a less than scintillating performance Tottenham beat Aston Villa 1-0 in the League (formerly Conti) Cup and we found lots to talk about, including:

  • A long-awaited Eleanor Heeps debut in goal
  • Eveliina Summanen’s swear-worthy strike
  • Anna Csiki in central midfield
  • Strikers not scoring
  • Songs sung
  • Floofy and less floufy ponytails
  • And more.


We also look ahead to Spurs' first game back after the International Break, at home against Everton.
