It’s 2025: Spurs Women are back in action and the OG Spurs women podcast, N17 Women, returns!

We came together to talk about:

• An uninspiring win against Leicester
• First sights of our new goalkeeper
• Eveliina’s injury
• A lack of shots
• Transfers and transfer hopes.

Plus: as we hit the halfway point in the season we reflect on the season so far and preview our midweek cup game against West Ham.

Note: In this episode Rachel erroneously described Olivia Holdt as a former Hacken player and a Swede. She is not. She is Danish and played at Swedish side, Rosengård before coming to Spurs. Apologies to Olivia.
