Away from Signe Signing news: A crazy 3-3 draw in Spurs' Subway Cup group means that a draw or win against Bristol City on Sunday will see us go through as group winners.

Happy Friday All!! www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2025/no...

More enjoyable pod this week. Erroneously said Beth Mead's 'injury' and Rene Sleger's reorganisation was the 11th minute. Actually it took until the 19th for them to call on Mead's laughable acting skills!

A woman reported that Ronaldo assaulted her in Vegas in 2009. "In recent months, Ronaldo has also been part of diplomatic efforts to woo the U.S. President Donald Trump."

New piece for @thecutback.com.web.brid.gy on yesterday's NLD focusing on Spurs' excellent defensive display and need for attacking (winger) reinforcements come Jan. [FREE to read!] www.thecutback.com/p/spurs-arse...

Players who score this many for an otherwise mediocre team are worth their weight in gold. Beth England has done this at Spurs and it's a marvel. Full credit to Martinez. 👏👏

There were about 5.5K (out of 6.8K) home supporters at the NLD at Brisbane Road today. Total crowd was almost double the previous record for a Brisbane Rd WSL game (figures from @emsandersbbc.bsky.social). Great to see so many Spurs supporters make it to Brisbane Road. Hopefully it becomes a habit.

The big thing so far this season is the cutting out of errors. There will inevitably be a couple over the season as a whole but this explains a large part of the difference we've seen. #concentration #COYS

Who needs goals when a 0-0 feels that good? Only the third time we've taken points off them in the WSL. Let's strengthen in Jan and take all 3 points in the reverse fixture. #COYS

Martha Thomas on the pitch. After two goalless years can she repeat her NLD magic?

That half seemed to last forever. But Spurs were confident on the ball, showed intent and quality at times and didn't lose focus. Still needed Lize to be alert and she has been. Tinka strong. Eve doing a lot of work. Olivia's ball carrying has been 👌. 45 to go. Just need a ⚽!!

Let's go! #COYS 👊

You know it's a big one when Lily and Chirpy come out. #COYS 🤍

This video - with analysis of the team's shape and in-depth on Tōko, Tinka and Olivia is a great pre-game watch. #COYS youtu.be/WawzdwcOOiY?...

Fantastic piece. Full of background detail. By @meganferinga.bsky.social who is always excellent on Spurs Women. www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

Signe Gaupset is coming to Spurs. Fee reportedly over 5 million Kroner (£378K). Jan is going to be good. 🥳

On the upside there was lots to pick apart this week...

This is the 1st game we were competitive within but lost. LCL are probably our main rivals for 'best of the rest' & were good. But we had chances we didn't convert & made silly errors. The positives: Tinka's confident pen & Ev's sublime FK. The reverse fixture is now must win.

When Google maps' recommended walk from the station to stadium is a sun dappled lane. 🌞

Lineup for our away and at LCL. Two changes to last time out. Both like for like (and both were in-game subs vs Liverpool). Ash in for Josefine and Tinka for Beth. #COYS

Today's WSL results mean that if Spurs can win tomorrow we move into the Champions League places. Draw and we jump Arsenal to 4th. Lose and we stay in 5th.

👀 Interesting reflections on Spurs from the manager of LCL in this piece. Reveals that LCL tried and failed to recruit Toko Koga.

Koga's nominated. 🎉 Kota's nominated as a midfielder. 😵‍💫

Yes please, and thank you. 🤍 The kind of ambition we want to see - Gaupset is the kind of player who will represent a step-change in quality.

The NWSL has 99 problems, but a trans player ain’t one. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

🌟🌟🌟 Tōko Koga 🌟🌟🌟

Definitely no hyperbole involved in the making (or naming) of this pod.

As we start a new week, may you do something that makes you this happy.

Another win 🎉 Another week above Arse 😉

Tōko ⚽🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

⚠️ Message from Spurs ⚠️ "Today’s kick-off is delayed until 12:15 while we wait for the mandatory player ambulance resource to be in place. We thank supporters for their patience and understanding."

Lineup is out! Beth starts at 9 (Olivia at 10 and Tilly on the wing). Tinka on the bench. Ev starts (so her injury must not be as bad as we feared 🎉). Drew's also back 💪. Josefine at RB - Ash on the bench. Otherwise v similar to previous games. #COYS

In more bad news a lot of Japanese accounts worried about Tōko Koga after her injury in today's international friendly. Very much hope - for her and Spurs - that she's not seriously hurt. 🤍

A v bad result for Finland this evening. Good for Denmark, and for Olivia who came on and got an assist. But Eveliina went off with an injury so potentially bad news for Spurs. Don't have details of what it was yet. 😰😰

Wrote a little about Jess Naz for @thecutback.com.web.brid.gy in this piece. And while looking at her stats was shocked to see she's currently 10th in the WSL for blocks! (Less surprised that Clare Hunt is first for both blocks and clearances). 😤

New ✍️ piece for the Cutback The international break is a good time to reflect on where we're at. And essentially it's looking pretty good! Defensive solidity and team consistency. But how sustainable is this going to be? www.thecutback.com/p/tottenham-...

A pleasure to chat about 3 very fun goals in this one...

Amanda (Mandy) has now been called up, replacing Eriksson. www.fotbollskanalen.se/sverige/erik... @spurswomenblog.bsky.social @n17women.bsky.social

Olivia postmatch on her 2nd: 'I thought I was offside because it felt like everyone had stopped defending'. What it's like when you own the opposition. 🌟🐐 Interview via Spurs' live blog www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2025/oc...

BTW, that penalty point last time out is looking to have been v important.

A solid win. Moments of individual and team quality were the difference against a strong Birmingham side. Plus the defensive organisation that is becoming a feature of this team. Top of the group. One game to play. #COYS 💪

A solid half. Some good movement and chance creation - at times slick passing, as in the goal (with a🔥 finish from Olivia). But also some underhit passing - rain not helping. Birmingham have had chances in transition and from FKs from distance. Just need more of the same. #COYS

#COYS 👊

Team for Cup game vs Birmingham City. 2pm KO. Watch on Spursplay or on the Birmingham YouTube channel. A little rotation. Maite for Drew/Olga, Josefine for Ash and Olivia for Beth (likely Tilly on the wing). But still a strong team. Thoughts? #COYS
