Description
HG is committed to covering the Tottenham Hotspur men's and women's teams, and tapping into the Spurs fan experience. We're talking the grief and glory of being fully COYS: cult heroes; iconic shirts; comically miserable away days; everything from Amsterdam to Zagreg. The team are also dedicated to bringing you music, TV, film, books and art recommendations we know you’ll love.

Billie, Lauren and Rosa take the positive(s?) from the Palace win, and make their transfer wish lists (in AND out) and COYS resolutions for the year ahead. Because it’s the last pod of the year, we take one last weepy look back at Bilbao, the parade, and all the love we can give this club when it just shows us it cares. And most importantly of all, we dish out our Best of 2025 culture picks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s your very special, extra festive, no-current-football-referencing Hometown Glory Christmas Quiz! Quizmaster Tom oversees proceedings as Billie and Lauren face off against Conor and Rosa for the coveted trophy. Play along at home! FEATURING:🎯Younes Kaboulseye💯NumberYANG!👹Uniteddy Sheringham Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s your mid-season Spurs Women deep dive: flowers for Martin, Toko, Olivia, Drew, Clare, Eveliina…you know what, flowers for EVERYONE. What a half season it’s been! Please don’t screw it up for them, The Lewis Family™️. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The office Powerleague team returns to get absolutely thumped by SEAN DYCHE’S Nottingham Forest. What is there even to say. Elsewhere, the women came agonisingly close to an incredible victory over Man Utd but were undone by, essentially, years of underinvestment. Crazy how bad decisions come back to bite you, isn’t it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Tottenham followed up their best result at St James’ Park since the halcyon days of Steve Bruce with a very sensible 2 nil win over Brentford. Ash, Billie, Lauren and Rosa enjoy the break from Boogate, swoon over Xavi, and present the case for the prosecution AND defence of one Richarlison de Andrade. Elsewhere, our beloved captain Beth England led the fightback against Villa, supported by the magic of Olivia Holdt. Also! Is cinema dead? For Billie’s sake, let’s hope not. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Following 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? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We 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 yourselvesAnd we give our sincerest, most heartfelt thanks for Martin Ho and the players of Spurs Women, who understand professional pride. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Your 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
After 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The 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… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Another 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Spurs 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Look 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.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
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.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Wolves: a hall of shame performance? The curse continues, despite Palhinha’s best shirtless efforts. Spurs Women bounce back at Leicester as the Olivia Holdt era truly begins. It turns out when you buy quality, good things happen? What a concept. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week our theme is crime and punishment. For the men: a return to one of the scenes of one of the many crimes of last season: Brighton away. For the women, simply another horrendous punishment meted out by Manchester City. And for us, an unimpeachable culture pick. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Two away wins, five goals scored, none conceded. Lauren, Rosa and Tom pick out the best bits from a delightful COYS weekend, including but not limited to: wonder goals, unfazed defences, superb individual performances and actual team competence. Are standards back? They might be back! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Where were you when you found out that Daniel Levy had left the club? Lauren, Rosa and special guest Gareth Dace absorb the aftershocks of this seismic event. Who even are we now?Plus! Gareth talks us through his latest book, Hot Shot Tottenham: Spurs in the 80s. An era-defining chairman who transformed the club only to fall from grace you say? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s time for another round of hope versus expectation. The WSL is back, Spurs Women are back, but has anything changed? Lauren, Rosa and HG cousin Caroline assess the squad and try to figure out just how big a job new boss Martin Ho has on his hands. There may be some ranting. But there are also culture picks!
