I wanted to write a little in praise of the mentality of the Spurs Women team as I don’t think it gets remarked on nearly enough and I think it’s something we can all be inspired by and learn from. https://twitter.com/AshNev10/status/1632739992073109505?s=20 Ashleigh Neville remains positive following defeat vs Manchester City away. Bill Shankly famously said …
Spurs Women’s baffling injury silences
Working out which Spurs Women players are injured has been turning the club’s fans into detectives. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Other clubs provide detailed updates. For instance, following the press conference with Liverpool manager, Matt Beard, Emma Saunders of the BBC reported that: “Leanne Kiernan is "at least 10 weeks away" …
Welcome back Ashleigh Neville
Following a three game suspension Ashleigh Neville re-found her rhythm in the game against Manchester United (despite a frustrating 1-2 loss). With the winter break and postponed games, a three game suspension had extended for a month and a half, so it felt like it had been a long time since we had seen Ashleigh …
Four things to look out for on Spurs Women’s return
Tottenham Hotspur Women travel to Aston Villa on Saturday (14th January) in the first WSL game of 2023. By then it will have been almost a month since the team's previous game (a 1-0 away victory over Championship side Southampton in the Conti Cup).

Mid-Season Rating of Spurs’ Summer Signings
They've been with us for half a season now, enough time to evaluate what Tottenham's summer signings have brought to the squad. In an end of year review of the first half of the season I suggested that the seven signings Spurs made in summer 2022 have strengthened the squad, and bench, but have not …

Ashleigh Neville’s exclusion from the England squad is a bad look
The England Squad was announced this week for the final pre-Euros friendly games. Once again all the outfield players were drawn from just four clubs and once again Ashleigh Neville was overlooked.

Why We Need More Goals
Since we joined the Super League Spurs have not been a high scoring side. We surprised many in our first season by finishing safely in 7th. We scored only one goal in a win or draw 4 times and never more than 2 goals in any game in that 15 game truncated league season, keeping …
Ria is Out. What does this Mean for Spurs?
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 …

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 …
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, …
