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.

Four podcasters but sadly only one bomba. Billie, Lauren, Rosa and Tom welcome Kudus and get somewhat angsty about the Gibbs White saga. We bid farewell (in a manner of speaking) to Scott Munn, answer some lovely listener questions/moral dilemmas, and - most importantly - dish out our culture picks. Other pods could never. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Another week, another new manager! Spurs Women shock us all by acting reasonably swiftly to appoint Robert Vilahamn’s replacement. Rosa and Lauren discuss new boss Martin Ho: expectations, hopes, dreams, and most importantly, considerable Man Utd headloss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Bring your knowledge. Bring your vibes. Bring your calculators. It’s the return of the HOMETOWN GLORY QUIZ! Round 1 - Younes Kaboulseye Round 2 - Johnnie Sackson Round 3 - Maths Tel Round 4 - Glory Allen Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On today’s episode: where in the world is Thomas Frank? Rosa quizzes Conor and Lauren on their excitement levels (reasonably high!), their views on Frankball (tactically flexible!), which players they’re most excited to see (Archie! Brennan! A real 6????) and, naturally, their predictions for how long he’ll last in the job (hopefully more than the standard 18-24 months!). We also review the latest, strangest piece of Spurs content starring Daniel Levy and Vinai Venkatesham (did you guys know fai...
Well, they did it. They sacked our most successful manager in 40 years. Two weeks exactly after Ange’s iconic season three is better than season two mic drop, Daniel Levy killed off the main character. Ash, Lauren and Rosa ponder what this all means for them and for Tottenham Hotspur. Again. At least with Robert Vilahamn also getting his P45 they’re consistent? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Adam (Bilbao), Lauren (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) and Rosa (behind the sofa) relive the glorious, unforgettable, terrifying night that saw us crowned EUROPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONS. Sonny. Micky. Cuti. BRENNAN JOHNSON. The Ange mic drop. The agony. The tears. The incredible feeling of being changed forever. What a club. What a ridiculous, beautiful, magical club. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Here we are then. The proverbial fork in the road. One path leads to glory. One to utter devastation. And either way, our lives will never be the same. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Crystal Palace don’t matter. Aston Villa don’t matter. Nothing matters except WE’RE GOING TO BILBAO. Even a plastic pitch and some weirdly bantery Norwegians couldn’t stop us getting there. Conor, Lauren and Rosa discuss moments and men of the match (the real him??), manifesting, and that magical feeling of making it to A EUROPEAN CUP FINAL. Elsewhere, we might (should) be saying goodbye to Robert but hopefully not Olga, the WSL gets a meh rebrand, and Andor and Andre 3000 are great. BILBAO!!!! ...
This week in Tottenham; two largely pointless games for Ash, Lauren and Rosa to look back on, a somewhat concerning Spurs Women fan event, and the return of Injury Crisis FC at exactly the worst possible moment. Maddison is dead and maybe so is our chance at Europa glory? Now would be a good time for our ginger Swede to remember who he is. Also: congrats Harry. You finally got your trophy. We hope it makes you happy. (No seriously, we do 💙) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inform...
We’re half way to Bilbao! Or are we? We should be, right? But we’re Tottenham, so ARGH. Whatever happens, it was a night when the greatest fanbase in the land showed up in all their glory to support the team they love. This is what football is meant to be. COYS 💙 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Conor, Lauren and Rosa look back at two forgettable Liverpool games, ahead to another weekend of nonsense, and pause to wonder if our gang of unlovable rogues will embarrass us all against the Norwegians - or will they discover some professional pride? We’ve got additional thorny questions from listeners, more financial gaslighting from the club, and some mildly scary culture picks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week in Tottenham: everyone has just given up. The players can’t be arsed. The club is briefing against itself. Scott Munn is leaving and no one will ever know what his job really was. But we’re still here! Billie, Lauren and Rosa do their best with what they’re given (which is more than we can say for Tottenham). Bonus! Some lovely culture picks from you, our lovely listeners. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Lauren, Rosa and Tom take some time out to enjoy every single thing about that out-of-nowhere win at Eintracht Frankfurt. Everybody did their jobs! There were actual leaders on the pitch! No one did anything catastrophically stupid! Guys…could we? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Lauren and Rosa discuss the fallout from Wolves and preview Thursday’s game at Frankfurt and the women’s fixture against Villa. But really, does it matter? Lauren enjoyed a lovely steak and a glass of red at least. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We say goodbye to two weeks of relative peace without the men of Tottenham Hotspur FC troubling us. There are the games against Chelsea and Southampton to look forward to (LOL) but more pressingly, the club released its annual accounts, complete with a statement of such staggering gall that the collective rattle could be heard from space. The timing is perfect at least, as our very special guest Micky Kerr is here to show us there is a way out of the dystopian hell that is world football. We CAN...
Back after our mini break, we’ve got an international check in, the Poch elephant in the room, (more) bad times for Spurs Women, culture picks, and MOST THRILLINGLY the return of the Hometown Glory quiz! Who came out on top after three fiendishly tricky rounds of Pointless Ferdinand, Glenn Squaddle, and Champions Lee? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Is this the end of the road for Ange? Does it matter? DOES ANYTHING MATTER? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week, it’s one club mentality in its purest form as the men and the women both played host to Man City, and both lost by a single goal. More maddening parallels include lineup chaos, unlucky misses, and off the pitch drama that is TESTING our ability to maintain zen. Also on the agenda: a preview of our season-defining fixture at Alkmaar, and more unlucky results at the Oscars. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Welcome to your TOTTENHAM and culture podcast. This week: farewell scary relegation maths (maybe), welcome three league wins in a row since December 2023. Are we hilariously overconfident about Europa, not confident enough, or just right? Is Timothee Chalamet running the goat Oscars campaign? And what is the Brennan Johnson of TV shows? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We won another league game! Some players came back and it might have helped! We have relegation and revolution updates, another bad day at the Emirates for Spurs Women, and of course our culture picks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week we bid farewell to our domestic cup hopes and dreams, but not to Ange Postecoglou. Yet. Or maybe, by the time you listen to this. Who knows with this club? At least there’s no scary relegation maths update this week! BUT we do have, courtesy of Billie, an update on the revolution aka Change for Tottenham. Aux barricades, comrades! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week: the most important win of the season? We recalculate the scary relegation maths, grade a frankly ridiculous transfer window, and enjoy booing snakes. Obviously you’ll want to stick around for our Grammys hot takes too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On a scale of one to oh my god it might really happen, how scared are we? Lauren and Rosa vainly try to protect their peace after another loss. We do have a win for the women to celebrate and proof that when you sign an actual outfield player, good things happen! Plus: (sort of) comforting culture picks. We’re going to need them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A Hometown Glory roundtable in which we tackle (almost) all the problems facing Tottenham right now, and attempt to find (LEGAL, NON VIOLENT) solutions. At least we’re trying, unlike You Know Who. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
WE WON A GAME OF ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s the first episode of 2025, but the 2024 vibes are unfortunately lingering. Dare we look ahead to brighter days? Not 'til February at the earliest if we’re honest. Nevertheless, we persist. Rosa and Lauren are joined by debutant Conor as they exhume another loss, rage over unconscionable officiating, and salute Brandon Austin’s actual professional debut. There are new signings for the men and women, and two cup games against Merseyside opposition to preview (and that’s all we’re going to say...
At the time of recording, it is the penultimate day of 2024. Tottenham Hotspur are languishing in 11th, possibly 12th by the time you listen to this. The fanbase is tearing itself apart. The squad is in literal pieces. It’s time, once again, for a Hometown Glory therapy session. Rosa and Billie get in their feelings about it all, then see out 2024 with their favourite culture picks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Quizmaster Tom puts Adam, Lauren, Rosa and Rule The Roost's Jack through the Yuletide ringer. Who will come out on top? Fancy answering some tenuous seasonal pun based trivia? Look no further. Unwrap a Tottenham treat that won't let you down. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We did it, you guys. We survived Tottenham’s latest attempt to kill us with *that* game against United. Lauren, Rosa and Sam delight in Djed, Dom and Archie, make peace with Forster’s total headloss, and try not to think too much about what awaits us against Liverpool. But we’re semi finalists! Ange is buzzing and so are we. Merry Christmas! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A win! A very palpable win! Lauren and Rosa exhale deep sighs of relief after Southampton 0 Spurs 5. Is this how Newcastle fans felt? We agree to sacrifice Liverpool in the league (lol) for a win against United in the Carabao and ponder the meaning of Spurs Women’s draw at Brighton (tl;dr: we need some more goals from somewhere). Finally! Rosa got emosh at the Strictly final and Lauren binged more heisty Spanish drama. Very similar vibes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informati...
