Five things @davidpuckridge would like to ask Spurs Interim Manager Vicky Jepson before this weekend's crucial game against Reading. Whenever I watch Vicky Jepson talk Iโm impressed with her communication skills; I may not always agree with her but she explains her decision making well.

Celebrating Bethany England
Some strikers score trophy winning goals. Some strikers score goals that dig out their teams in difficult times. I hope that there is a future in which Bethany England wins trophies at Spurs, but right now, with six games remaining, it looks like her goals might keep the club in the top-flight.

Itโs the hope that kills you
A personal reflection on Spurs 1 Arsenal 5 (Brisbane Road) Last time out I was arguing that the North London Derby didnโt mean so much in the WSL given it the gulf between the sides, so I can only imagine how those who really hate Arsenal in whatever form must be feeling. But whichever way …

The demise of a manager in 9 games.
Spurs lost their 9th straight game on Sunday at Liverpool. The next day the manager, Rehanne Skinner, was removed from her post. Skinner had led the team to its highest ever WSL finish (5th) last season and had done a lot behind the scenes to professionalise and resource the womenโs team, but no-oneโs going to …
Mentalityย
I wanted to write a little in praise of the mentality of the Spurs Women team as I donโt think it gets remarked on nearly enough and I think itโs 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.

Spurs Womenโs baffling injury silences
Working out which Spurs Women players are injured has been turning the clubโs fans into detectives. But it doesnโt have to be that way. Other clubs provide detailed updates.
