Hometown Glory: Spurs x Culture

Three - that’s THREE - wins in a row. (Two of them at our cursed stadium, if you please!) A Ballon d’Or for our forever guy Harry Kane. And the women recovering from back to back to back Ls with comfortable victories over two B teams. Are we all finally healing? (And should Jack Lowden be the next Bond?)

Lauren and Rosa begin with a rant about another embarrassing derby performance by the women and the egregious flouting of Lauren’s Three Derby Rules. They’re then joined by Billie to discuss the confusing experience of witnessing the men win an actual game of league football at the actual Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the joys of individual quality making a difference, and the emotional outpouring that accompanied the return of one Dejan Kulusevski. We love you, Kulu. We’re so glad to have you back. ‎

Six league games, three points, still no wins. Should it be physically impossible to miss so many chances? We’re obviously rubbish, but are we also quite good? And will everything be fixed by an inexplicably timed trip to Marbella? Your HGers try once again to solve the mystery of Tottenham, eventually give up, and choose to hope for the best instead. (New club motto.)

Lauren returns from Greece to take partial responsibility for the disgraceful collapse against London City. Do we have a mentality problem? Or a quality problem? Or a Tottenham problem? And speaking of…the men are back to destroy any semblance of the calm we’ve all enjoyed for the last three weeks. If the City-scandal-ridden PL could just hurry up and fold already that would be GREAT.

Only Good Spurs, all the time. Lauren and Rosa relive a near-perfect game of football as Spurs Women thrashed Villa. Four goals, absurd stats, apologies to Victoria Pelova: ENJOY! You deserve it.

Lauren and Rosa bid the useless boys of Tottenham goodbye for three extremely necessary weeks, and heap praise on the women, who understand that if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. Seven - SEVEN - goals, Oli Holdt magic, Pelova dominance, a real-life Alice Sombath: imagine a Spurs team that gives you everything you asked for, and reminds you why you love football and this club.

Another point! And a clean sheet! But still, somehow, no goals?? Lauren and Rosa discuss the eternal WHY of Tottenham Hotspur (men) before turning their attention to Tottenham Hotspur (women) and asking WHY is Olivia Holdt being reduced to pity minutes? But also HOW amazing is it to witness the generational talent that is Signe Gaupset, even in a largely terrible performance at Liverpool?

0-0, zero shots on target. BUT it’s the first point of the season! Whose glass is half full and whose is half empty? And once we do score, what will be the next stick to beat Tottenham with? Welcome back also to Spurs Women, the one team that’s good for our mental health. Watching Kirsty Hanson score for instead of against us feels just as good as we imagined.

You guys aren’t gonna believe this, but we played NEWCASTLE at HOME and we lost! What are the odds! Lauren and Rosa exhale deeply, and discuss another dispiriting, goalless loss. Do we just have to hang in there? (Yes.) Mateus Fernandes, though. He’s quite special isn’t he.

Where should we place Brentford 3 Tottenham 0 on a scale of Serge Aurier doing 3 (THREE) foul throws to Hugo breaking his arm as he falls into his own net? Where does Van Hecke’s first outing for Tottenham sit in the pantheon of WOAT debuts? And why in the name of unnecessary long haul flights does the new season look EXACTLY like the old one? Welcome back, Tottenham Hotspur. You really shouldn’t have.

It’s your Hometown Glory end of season awards! Kind of. Because apart from us, the fans, for surviving this diabolical, disgusting, never to be mentioned in polite society again season from hell, who or what could possibly deserve a prize?

Is it possible to literally die of relief? It went down to the wire, but Tottenham Hotspur are - somehow - still a premier league club. God bless Kevin Danso, Toni Kinsky, and the fans of this beautiful, absurd football club, who never gave up 💙, and may Satan find a place in hell for the celebration police and for whichever official “accidentally” had some trouble with their headset.

Here we are then. Potentially our last podcast in the premier league. One more game. One more point. Help us to believe.
Spurs Women did what they needed to do, and more, with a final day victory at Brighton including a Toko Koga golazo that reminded us of how beautiful football - and even Tottenham - can be.
See you on the other side. Lord have mercy on us all.

The JUSTICE FOR MATHYS agenda gets a boost, then takes a hit. Billie and Lauren do their very best to talk Rosa off a ledge, and almost succeed. Madders is back and has already done more for the club in 24 hours than nearly everyone else combined. But WHAT will it take to get a win at this cursed stadium??? We celebrate Spurs Women’s end of the season awards, while looking askance at their increasingly surreal comms strategy. One day without chaos. Will never happen.
