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…

Rosa and Lauren glide effortlessly past the Palace debacle to talk about the only thing that matters: Pep’s latest defeat to his bogey team. We wanted commitment, and we got it, no matter the cost (RIP Micky’s hamstrings). Deki, Sarr, Biss, wee Archie, TIMO WERNER: kings, every last one. We look ahead to another round against wily old Emery, and a …

Celebratory bubbles for us, early baths for them: we enjoy a delightful, deserved and ultimately very funny win over West Ham. Less funny: a chastening loss for the women at Chelsea. Is it panic or pre-panic time? We look forward to the Dembele derby and beyond, send some culture picks your way, and amuse ourselves with a little Woolwich headless. …

Be gentle with us, we’re recovering from being POISONED by a SNAKE in a Manchester United shirt. Lauren and Rosa sift through the debris of a bad day up north, and try not to get too scared by the upcoming trip to Chelsea. Elsewhere, we are pleased for Djed Spence but still mad at the rest of them, so it would be great if they could redeem themselv…

Who could have foreseen? Tottenham followed up a glorious statement win with a piece of absolute, abject nonsense right before an international break. Spurs women also lost - by an identical scoreline - but they had the excuse of terrible refereeing AND they’re not making us stew over it for a full two weeks. Lauren and Rosa discuss subs, snakes, a…

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 t…

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). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

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. Hosted on Acast.

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 ch…

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mor…

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 und…

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 resta…

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! …

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 S…

Lauren, Rosa and Sam lay an often turbulent and increasingly terrifying season to rest with a huge sigh of relief - they didn’t do it! - and a side of WTF - Poch sacked? We discuss the season’s heroes, villains, highs and lows, dish out grades and culture picks, and look forward to a summer of sport…and apparently a general election?! Time to take …

Wow, that one hurt. Lauren and Rosa feel all their feelings in the aftermath of Spurs Women’s FA Cup final defeat: heartbreak, angst, pride, and belief that we’ll be back, because this is only the beginning. Also! The men broke their losing streak with victory against Burnley: you can have that one, lads, because if you do anything stupid this week…

Billie, Lauren and Rosa get together in the aftermath of another chastening week and exhort the fanbase — and our basket case of a club — to hold its nerve and stay the Ange course. (But also let’s end the season now.) We discuss another comeback from Spurs Women at Everton, and forward to the FA CUP FINAL 🤩. See you at Wembley! Follow us on Twitte…

This is your post-NLD debrief: a safe space for sadness, anger, and crackpot conspiracy theories. Take a seat, feel all your feelings, and hopefully feel slightly better afterwards?

The gang assemble for possibly our last peaceful pod on this earth. Yes, it’s the NLD this weekend and nothing can stop it from happening. We share memories of past trauma, choose the player we most need to have a Big Game, and Billie, Lauren and Sam tell the fanbase (and Rosa) to get its act together. We have a look back at Spurs Women’s draw at M…

I don’t know if you heard, but Spurs Women are going to the FA CUP FINAL!!!! Lauren and Rosa take a long, joyous look back at that historic Sunday in Tottenham as our magnificent women came back from conceding an early goal to beat Leicester City 2-1 at extra time. We discuss the vibes, the lineup, the subs, the tactics, the fitness and anything el…

A very special, overly-excitable, slightly nauseous FA CUP SEMI-FINAL PREVIEW POD! Rosa and Lauren are joined by HG cousin Caroline as they look back at the journey (inc. penalty shootout heroics and Peak Ros) and forward to our historic game against Leicester City that could take us that final step closer to glory. But whatever happens, it’s been …

Another day, another inexplicably inconsistent first half performance followed by a barnstorming - ish - second half fightback from our lilywhites. We ponder the complexities of our performance against Forest, revisit past tragedy/comedy away at Newcastle, and dish out our latest culture picks. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twit…

Another late win, this time against the elite warriors of Luton Town. We discuss Bissouma’s fall and Brennan’s rise, wonder what to do with Kulu, marvel at our magnificent captain, and beg Tottenham to play more than 15 minutes of amazing football per game — especially with West Ham coming up. Pop quizzes, culture, apologies to parents and first ti…

Ash, Billie, Rosa and Sam come together to mostly ignore the actual football (bar a shoutout to GB’s heroics as Wales captain) to bring you the Hometown Glory Mount Rushmore Draft. Find out who the gang picked as their Modern Classic, Childhood Sweetheart, Certified Legend, and Wildcard. Plus! Does it matter if Spurs Women are only allowed to score…

Welcome to Statement Win Sunday. The men took their revenge on Aston Villa by producing officially their most complete Angeball performance yet, and the women made history by finally scoring a goal against Manchester City…and then beating them on penalties to make it to the semi finals of the FA Cup for the first time EVER. A truly blessed day. All…

Saturday afternoon against Palace: more low block hell, more divine Micky van de Ven, more Timo Werner tearing COYS message groups apart. We preview the Crunch Fixture that is Villa (with a bonus pop quiz), review the good, the bad, and the offside winner of the women’s NLD, and wrap it all up with some culture: Billie gets Timothée Chalamet now! F…

We thought we were back! But it turns out we are kind of…not. We discuss the bizarrely soporific spectacle that was the Wolves game with a minimum of Ange angst - we’re zealots after all. Alas, no respite from Spurs Women either, as their lacklustre performance against Villa led to an infuriatingly identical result. The solution? Patience, and lots…

Players, last-minute winners and VIBES are back! Our returning captain gave us just the lift we all needed in the win over an annoyingly good Brighton. Was it a well-managed game or a bit of luck and do we care? Elsewhere, the women’s FA Cup draw took place IN HELL because for the 50th time this season, we have to play Manchester City. We also make…

Another day, another loss to Man City Women. But this time we did it without conceding a single goal to Bunny Shaw! We move. Incrementally, but we move. We also look back at the frustrating Merseyside draws for both teams and ask: are we taking the one club mentality too far? We wonder if Ange will agree to have someone protect Vic at corners this …

Billie, Rosa and Tom discuss the 3-2 against Brentford that featured some excellent performances, some calamitous ones (sometimes from the same player), a bit of pantomime villain nonsense, a darts subplot and a truly horrible last five minutes. Again we ask: why does everyone have weird beef with Tottenham? We look ahead to Everton, Rosa and Tom w…

Football’s strangest hoodoo finally came to an end last week as Man City knocked us out of the FA Cup thanks to a highly debatable/perfectly reasonable goal. Lauren, Rosa and Sam mourn the loss of our trophy, and pick themselves up to go again… by reviewing another loss to Man City, this time for the women. We preview Brentford, Spurs Women's next …

Rosa and Lauren reflect on Spurs Women’s chaotic win at West Ham in the eye of Storm Isha, and make our latest sales pitch to Grace Clinton after another dazzling performance. There are flowers for Celin Bizet, Jess Naz and Eveliina Summanen (but only in midfield, Robert!), concerns about defence with a game against the inevitable Bunny Shaw loomin…

Two big games to review for Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam, Tom and special guest Lauren: the spirited 2-2 draw at Old Trafford and Spurs Women’s chaotic comeback Cup win. We go through our winners and losers from Manchester, Sam gives us some photography tips, and Lauren gives us the rundown on that late, late victory over Sheffield United. Plus, natu…

Join Ash, Rosa and Sam on their emotional rollercoaster as they react to being drawn against City in the Cup, and to the on-off-maybe-on-again-by-the-time-you-listen Radu Drăgușin transfer saga. We celebrate Pedro Porro’s golazo (does he score any other kind of goal?) and Rodrigo Bentancur’s surprise captaincy, and Rosa mourns her fallen hero GB. W…

Happy New Year, everyone! Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom review the up-and-down-then-up-again festive period, before making some wild/entirely accurate predictions for Spurs Men and Women as we enter the second half of the season. Which player are we most excited about watching in 2024? Any transfers getting us hot under the collar? Where do we…

NORTH LONDON IS (FINALLY) OURS. HG cousin Lauren joins Billie, Sam and Rosa to celebrate Spurs Women’s historic win over Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Exactly how emotional were Lauren and Rosa at full time, and how many times have they watched *that* goal since? We assess Spurs men’s win at Forest, where some players continued to step …

The vibes are back! No, we will not be taking questions on the West Ham game. Rosa, Sam and Tom revel in the thrashing of Newcastle, delight in Richarlison’s goals and general demeanour, thrill over our fullbacks and belatedly remember to honour our captain. We mourn Spurs Women’s midfield and hope we can get through to Christmas without anything (…

We couldn’t end a losing run any other way. Billie, Rosa, Sam and Tom reconvene to celebrate the joyous nonsense of Tottenham Hotspur: somehow still Pep Guardiola’s bogey team. There’s love for Kulu, king of inspirational quotes, and (more) apologies for redemption arc completer GLC. We look ahead to Cuti’s return against West Ham, and cross our fi…

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 D…

There definitely have been worse weeks to be coys…SURELY. Rosa, Sam and Tom regroup after that miserable loss at Wolves. Are there any bright spots? Are we really going to have to start GLC against Villa? Will the international break bring respite or break even more of our players? We celebrate Celin Bizet’s superb solo goal against Liverpool while…

Is everybody okay?? Lauren, Sam and Rosa try to put themselves back together after that cataclysmic, catastrophic, but somehow also completely heroic defeat. We talk through that perfect storm of red cards, horrific injuries and VAR nonsense against almost the worst possible opponent, and how we somehow came out of it loving Ange and our club even …

This week, Rosa is joined by Ash, Billie, Sam and Tom as we look down on literally everyone else, because guess who is still top of the table? Your mighty Lilywhites! We discuss the Palace game—including which of the HG gang did the worst job of going incognito among the home fans—and give a heartfelt, joyous welcome back to our beloved Rodrigo Ben…

We move! Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom explore the good, the bad and the subs of a straightforward(ish) home win over Fulham that saw your mighty Lilywhites return to the Premier League summit. Rosa’s Cuti Apology Tour continues apace, Tom ensures The Main Man at the Roast gets his flowers, Charlie pens his four hundredth Sonny love letter, Billie …

A chance to go top of the league? Never in doubt! Billie, Rosa, Sam and Tom exhale after that unexpectedly-but-also-not tough game at Luton. We hand out flowers to our central defence heroes and our tireless Swede, and let Bissouma know we’re not angry, just disappointed. There's also plenty of time for us to wax lyrical about Evelina’s perfect fre…

We regret to inform you that football is cancelled. There is simply no way it can recover from such a terrible miscarriage of justice as that inflicted upon poor, plucky Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Oh wait, we don’t care! Billie, Sam, Tom and Rosa have the audacity to revel in our first win in that cursed fixture since forever. Else…

The WSL is back! Rosa and HG cousins Caroline and Lauren are here with the essential info you need ahead of Spurs Women’s opening game*: our new coach, transfer ins and outs, the state of the squad, the players we’re most excited about, potential lineups, style of play—if there’s anything we forgot to cover it’s because we finally just ran out of t…

What were we all so stressed about, eh? Turns out Ange even makes trips to the Emirates (relatively, kinda?) painless. Friend of the show Kate Storsved (an elite coys tweeter) joins Charlie, Sam and Tom all the way from Illinois as we offer up winners and losers from a wild NLD. There are flowers for almost everyone in lilywhite, an iconic dismissa…

Two HGs in a week? The Ange Effect. Billie and Charlie and joined by HG cousin Davina who gives her verdict on the fan forum. Stage-managed PR event or something to force us to reassess certain Levy takes? Did the Spurs Women contingent get a fair look? What needs to happen next? Davina has the inside line. We then preview a gargantuan NLD, share o…

This week, the wins are late but the vibes are IMPECCABLE. Rosa and Sam are joined by cousin Lauren to drink in that wild, joyous, and fully deserved victory over Sheffield United: Kulu coolness, South Stand scenes, and of course the Richy Redemption Arc. We assess the final moves in the WSL transfer window and toast the new captain of Spurs Women …

Is this the most chaotic episode of HG yet? Maybe! Blame the international break, frankly.
