Hometown Glory: Spurs x Culture

We did it! They team relive a weirdly stress-free in Norfolk and get very excited about our Champions League return—which might even mean a Saturday 3pm kickoff! There's, of course, special mention for our Golden Boot king Sonny (and his bromance with Gentle Ben), Emerson Royal's latest masterpieces (on and off the pitch) and a sentimental shoutout for some forgotten heroes (even you, Nuno!) Billi...

Well, here we go then! The team pore over a wild, wild week—starting with the edgy Burnley win, then Arsenal's St James' capitulation before we look ahead to Norwich. Who from the gang is confident and who's been thinking too much about that Newcastle 5-1? We also cast an eye over the entertaining end of season "lap of recognition", celebrate the stopwatch-on-your-phone heroes and, of course, offe...

Emergency episode! Who knows what'll happen from here, but we needed to mark a glorious NLD win. We applaud the incredible THS atmosphere, the entire team's professionalism, Dav/Patron's surprise starring role and Sonny rising above it, while trying to make sense of The Arsenal's sense of injustice about it all. We dare to predict how it might play out from here, and give our snap verdict on Kendr...

We review the big pros and potential cons of the 1-1 at Anfield while trying and failing to not get too hysterical over an enormous NLD. Emerson Royal is quite rightly celebrated, Rosa has her big Benjamin Davies moment and we break down Sonny's first 20-goal league season. The team also celebrate a fine season for Spurs Women—including a look at Rosa's experience taking her two kids to the season...

The team reviews the Leicester win, the top four marathon and most importantly: Emerson Royal's new video drop. We toast King Sonny and the magic of Kulu, while Cristian Romero's latest no-nonsense masterclass inspires Billie's latest Rolling In the Tweets. Elsewhere, there's a look ahead to a big final week of the season for Spurs Women, and, of course, our culture picks. If you fancy skipping to...

Level heads! We try not to panic after the Brighton game while looking at what went wrong. Was it Rosa's fault for attending? Harry Kane's for going to the golf? Antonio Conte's for getting outthought by Graham Potter? The crowd's for getting frustrated? Meanwhile, the top four rollercoaster is assessed going into The Christian Eriksen Derby, Charlie launches an investigation into whether Emma Rad...

The team breaks down a glorious weekend (Doherty news aside). How dirty were Villa or should we not get too The Arsenal about it? Just how much does Tom love Kulu? Is this the very best we've seen of Sonny and H? And should we be worried about Royal now playing every week—and where the hell was his highlights video? We take a check on how we're all feeling about the top four race, mark Hugo's incr...

It's getting interesting! The team surveys the top four race—taking in our Newcastle thrashing and Arsenal's defeat at Palace—and gauges just how confident we should now be feeling. We also pay tribute to great goals from Tottenham full-backs (including plenty of incredible listener picks), look ahead to Villa, encourage everyone to come with us to the Spurs Women game at the THS on 8 May and, of...

A joyous and oddly heated episode! We bask in the afterglow of the West Ham win and each predict how the run-in will go down. There's a look at the toughest week imaginable for Spurs Women before we dive into a set of culture picks that sparks a Rosa revelation so shocking Billie is forced to compare her to Michael Owen. Tom, meanwhile, leaves us howling with a surprising long-standing TV obsessio...

Rob Daly is the much-loved voice of Spurs TV and one of football's best commentators. He takes on our Spurs Seven questions with Charlie and reveals the emotion behind those iconic last-minute Ajax, Leicester and Man City commentaries, gives his verdict on Conte's unpredictable Spurs, gets excited about Kulu's new chant, defends Moussa Sissoko and Carlos Vinícius, talks about how you worry you're...

The team remain calm as we pick over the United defeat and somehow, sort of, re-talk ourselves into the top four being on. Inspired by Tom watching the game in a Pret, listeners tell us the weirdest places they've watched Spurs, before we talk over Spurs Women's tough loss versus Man City and preview the Brighton and West Ham games. Plus, of course, our weekly culture picks. If you fancy skipping...

Back to the top of the Spurs rollercoaster, as we toast the Everton thrashing and prepare for United away. Our Kulu Apology tour continues, we give thanks for Rodrigo Bentancur, consider whether the Wolves Matt Doherty has finally showed up and predict how many goals we'll need Harry to score if we are going to finish in the top four. We also look ahead to a crucial run for Spurs Women in their Ch...

In a difficult week, Rosa and Charlie chat over the Boro defeat and consider how to make sense of why we all care *so* much (too much?) about our football teams. Spurs (and Conte) coping strategies are discussed, as is the Chelsea/Abramovich situation, the Everton game and Ashleigh Neville's much-deserved Player of the Month award. Plus, of course, culture recommendations are made. This one gets d...

Spurs are back! Again! We glory in the Man City win, dissect the "utterly deranged narrative" (Rosa) around Spurs right now, settle the Deki/Kulu naming debate, (eventually) salute Harry Kane and reveal the various ways our behaviour during added time troubled our kids. We then look on nervously to Burnley and Leeds and toast the Spurs Women return to form. Also! The team reviews the first episode...

To mark the first sightings of Kulu & Bentancur, it's a Spurs Debuts Special! We reveal our favourite memorable Tottenham intros, and present some brilliant picks from you guys (Mido: very popular). There are also reviews of the men's and women's teams victories over Brighton, a look at the Premier League double header at home versus Southampton and Wolves, plus of course: our diverse, intriguing...

This was an emotional one. We all share our (and your) favourite Dele memories and consider his unique legacy: What made him special? Where did it go wrong? We also, of course, review the January transfer window in full. Did we do enough to keep Antonio happy? How excited are we by Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur? Does anyone want to see Tanguy and Gio in N17 ever again? Plus, we cover a di...

We review the highs of Leicester and sobering lows of Spurs-Chelsea IV before handing out mid-term grades to the entire squad. Also: just how will the final week of the transfer window go for Wingers FC? Should we chill out over Conte leaving us, or is that just a part of the neuroses of being a Spurs fan? Can Spurs Women bounce back from a tough couple of weeks? And, of course, our weekly culture...

A cathartic episode. The team share their thoughts on the NLD farce and look ahead to Leicester and (surely not again) Chelsea. We also pay tribute to Lamela's Puskás Award win by considering the best ultimately pointless Spurs goals, commiserate over some last minute devastation for Spurs Women and reveal our weekly culture picks. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — NLD nonsense 17:21...

We tackle the Ndombele saga, make sense of the Chelsea and Morecambe debacles and preview the Carabao second leg and Arsenal game. The team also pay (quite underwhelming) tributes to Bergwijn, exchange some (not at all underwhelming) rants about various Spurs nonsense, Charlie tries to sell everyone on Adama and Tom requests an unlikely rebrand. All that, plus our weekly culture picks. If you fanc...

Screenwriter and showrunner Joe Barton tackles our Spurs Seven questions, reveals whether Giri/Haji can be revived, discusses his upcoming Batman and Cloverfield projects plus much, much more. Joe’s Spurs Seven answers are superb: especially if you’re a fan of “brilliant, glorious failure”, Giovani dos Santos, the challenge of keeping your kids away from Arsenal, hooped socks and “mood enhancers”...

HNY! The team give their positives and irritations from the three festive games, preview The Chelsea Triptych and Morecambe in the FA Cup, consider whether we'd actually survive a NLD cup final, present our Spurs New Year's Resolutions and reveal the first culture picks of 2022. It's good to be back! If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Crystal Palace, Southampton and Watford reviews 24:...

2021 has been wild! We pick our moment and player of the year, plus crown our favourites in music, TV, film and more. 00:00 — Where are we with Spurs? 18:48 — Moments & Player of 2021 40:21 — Culture of the year ASH Moment: ESL/acting like a big club. Player: Hugo. Music: "CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST" by Tyler, The Creator & "NINE" by Sault. TV: "Can't Get You Out of My Head". Film: N/A. Other: Salt b...

Broadcaster Abbi Summers joins Charlie for our HG Spurs Seven questions. She also talks brilliantly about the challenges of being a woman in football, gives excellent advice on handling trolls and breaks down working across both traditional media and the new, disruptive breed of online, often fan-led coverage. Abbi also explains how supporting Spurs makes you a better human being, talks about bein...

The full HG team break down the Brentford win: How worried are we about H? Is Royal actually decent? Just what has Antonio done to Gentle Ben and Eric Dier? How good is Skipp exactly? Do we need to make more noise inside the stadium? And didn't the place look incredible! We then preview Norwich with cautious excitement and big up Rosa's Jenna Schillaci interview before reaching our weekly culture...

Jenna Schillaci is a true Tottenham hero. She talks Rosa through her astonishing 12-year Spurs career: one that took in eight trophies and captaining our rise from regional football to leading us out in the WSL as a professional outfit. Coming from a huge Tottenham family, Jenna’s HG Spurs Seven answers are brilliant (we especially enjoyed hearing about her dad using his black cab to round up enou...
