Following the North London Derby at the Emirates, Arsenal Manager, Jonas Eidevall, stated that his team beating Tottenham 3-0 meant that ‘football was the winner’. It’s a tired cliché, but there are lots of tired clichés in football. More pertinently, it’s a cliché that’s usually trotted out to celebrate games that are hard-fought or a …
Spurs Women play Chelsea at the Hive on Sunday (24th April) and then away on Thursday (28th April). Following that the season wraps up with three games in eight days: away to Everton (Sunday); away to Arsenal (Wednesday); and Leicester at home, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Sunday).

On Saturday April 9th in Townsville Australia in the fifteenth minute of a dramatic friendly between New Zealand and Australia women’s teams Ria Percival went down. There was no contact, it was no-one’s fault. But, unlike the innumerable times this season that we’ve seen Ria get fouled or watched as she’s gone in for a …

So far this season Spurs have let in just 12 goals in 16 WSL games. Given that three of those came in one game, away against Manchester United, that leaves just 9 across the other 15 games. It's a pretty amazing record. In fact only Chelsea (7) and Arsenal (10) have conceded fewer. Conversely all …
We’re on International Break with just eight games left in 2021/2. They include some tricky ones: Man City at home; Arsenal away; Chelsea home and away. But we’re lying third in the WSL on 27 points, have already won three more games than we managed in the whole of last season and have long since …
This weekend Spurs Women travel to St Andrews to face Birmingham City Women. Spurs are on a high after last week’s demolition of Brighton while Birmingham are currently sitting at the bottom of the WSL, on just 4 points, their only win of the season over Arsenal. This is therefore an eminently winnable game. Moreover, …
Freewheeling, high-scoring, clean-sheet maintaining. What’s not to love? We’ll add a full match report soon, but for now this collates video of the four goals from the victory over Brighton that put us a point off of third place in the WSL. What's especially notable is how many different members of the team played critical …
The last five games have seen Spurs Women's worst run form in the 2021/2 season to-date: one win (against Championship opposition), one draw and three losses. More disturbingly, for a team that prided itself on its stinginess in defence, each of the three losses have seen Spurs concede three goals. It could be argued that …
Not literally. According to Wikipedia she is just 5 foot 3 inches but Ria's contribution to Spurs this season has been absolutely massive. To start with some stats: Ria has played the full 90 in every one of our first 12 WSL games (along with only Ashleigh Neville and Molly Bartrip). This season she is …
This week we’ve seen announcements of important improvements in the working terms and conditions of women footballers, in the WSL and FA Women’s Championship. Clubs across these leagues have ratified the changes and they’ll come into effect next season (2022/23). So, what do they involve? Maternity Currently: Only statutory maternity pay paid, and only if …
