After what seems like an eternity, the WSL is back. Tottenham travelled to 6th place Reading as our Lilywhites looked to take third place back from a Manchester United who beat Leicester this weekend 4-0 to go third. Tottenham last took on Reading in September, where our Lilywhites ran out 1-0 winners thanks to a …
Spurs Women fans on the season so far
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 …
Matchday 14: Birmingham vs Tottenham.
Tottenham travelled to St. Andrew's to meet 12th placed Birmingham City. The last time the two teams met back in September Tottenham ran out 1-0 winner with a goal from Kit Graham. Tottenham was looking to build on last week's 4-0 at the Hive and remain in the hunt for Champion's League football. Highlights of …
Spurs go to Birmingham minus Kit
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, …
Matchday 13: Tottenham vs Brighton.
FA Cup. Our journey in the FA Cup has sadly come to an end after a hard-fought match against Leicester City. A game in which Tottenham dominated the game but a Tottenham error resulted in Leicester drawing level with 9 minutes to play. Two more defensive errors saw the Foxes clinch a famous 3-1 victory …
We’re Back – and it’s a new old Spurs
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 …
What’s happened to Spurs?
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 …
Ria Percival is Massive
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 …
Maternity and Sick Leave Cover for Women Footballers is Good, but Not Enough
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 …

Ashleigh Neville Appreciation Post
Image by @onherside1 & @CharlotteS1206 I love watching Ashleigh Neville play for Spurs. When she’s on the ball I am excited about what might happen. When she closes down a player I am confident she will come away with a neat sidestep and the ball – or at least put in a decent tackle or …
