In this blog @rachellaracohen reflects on Spurs Women's crucial upcoming game. If Spurs Women win against Reading this Saturday we are safe in the WSL for another year. Lose or Draw and, depending on goal difference and how Reading perform against Chelsea in their last game, Spurs may require a point away at West Ham …
Five Questionsย
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. But one of my plaintive cries in regards to the …
Spurs, why do you do this?

The Buck Stopsโฆ Over There Somewhere
By @davidpuckridge Having drawn the short straw, I am contractually obliged to tackle the elephant in the room. Yes, thatโs right: Andy Rogers, Spursโ Head of Global Football Development. Okay, not really. And frankly all I can find of Andy Rogers is his comments accompanying the announcement that Rehanne Skinner had been sacked. No, I …
I donโt need to be inspired

One View: Dave At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the long delayed match with Manchester United, the advertising screens frequently called the crowdโs attention to the Womenโs North London Derby with the dramatic …
That winning feeling
Sometimes you have to lose a lot of games to properly relish a win. And we waited for this one a long time: nine games or 136 days. Spursโ last win โ that eight-goal false-dawn at Brighton โ was back on the 30th of October: Rishi Sunak had that week taken office, England had not …
Spurs Women: What went wrong?
