A community for Tottenham Hotspur Women
The club was originally founded in 1985 as the Broxbourne Ladies. The club's name was changed in the 91/92 season. In the 16/17 season the club would go on to win a quadruple. On 1 May 2019, the team achieved promotion into the top flight for the first time in their history.
Spurs Women have continued to improve since their promotion to the FA Women's Super League. Having already signed six new players this summer, the club is beginning to set its sights on Champions League qualification for the first time.
Tottenham Hotspur Women have won twelve trophies in its history.

No Goals. No points. An absolute domination from City who were ahead in the first minute and we never really threatened. Another Bunny Shaw Hat Trick against us..
Here was the starting lineup. Inexplicably we went with a back 5 for the first time this season and it immediately backfired. On good news fronts both Hayley Raso and Amy James-Turner returned and both came on as second half subs. Ella Morris retained her place at RWB with Ash Neville moving over to the left side to fill in for the re-injured Amanda Nilden. For some reason Eleanor Heeps was on the bench again so Katelin Talbert may have picked up a knock.
Players Left Out: Katelin Talbert, Maite Oroz, Amanda Nilden, Kit Graham (ACL - Out for Season)

No reprieve to come as we have the North London Derby up next on Nov 16th. It's at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium so if you can, get your tickets and get out to support!
Hi all,
For that past couple of years I've been building THFCDB, a huge database of every Spurs [mens] match, player, goal and lots of other data: https://thfcdb.com
I'd now like to expand it to include the women's team but I need some help! Specifically, adding details after a match is finished. I do all of the men's matches manually the day after the game, and it takes maybe 10-20 minutes to get everything in there.
Would anyone be interested in helping out?
A massive and needed 3 points!
The goals for us came from Beth England who put a tap in after a scramble and 2 previous attempts and an OG from Saenz after Lenna Gunning-Williams put the pressure on and the ball looped up into the back of the net. They opened the scoring from of course a set piece, where we've conceded the most goals in the league with Ueki scoring a header off a corner. Both our men's and women's teams struggle to defend set pieces I guess lmao
Here was the starting lineup. Ella Morris made her first league start at Fullback (and was excellent, arguably WOTM) as Amanda Nilden missed out, unsure why as it was not mentioned in the team news about her being hurt but she wasn't in the squad at all today. Wang Shuang also made her return to the bench but did not feature. Hayley Raso and Amy James-Turner were not back yet either. Katelin Talbert was left out of the squad as she is on loan from West Ham.
Players Left Out: Katelin Talbert, Maite Oroz, Hayley Raso, Amanda Nilden, Amy James-Turner, Kit Graham (ACL - Out for Season)

Next match is another tough one, away to City this Friday. Anything from that fixture is a bonus.
Hi all, long story short but I'm making a comp for Spurs that pays homage to the whole club. However, I'm not the most in tune with the women's team and was hoping I could find out everyone's favourite moments for the club whether it be cult hero moments, iconic goals/celebrations, important goals, or something that defined a moment for us whether it be in or outside a game.
I want to include as much as I can from the women's team so it's not overshadowed by the men's, so any help would be really appreciated. I am researching into moments I can include, but I thought it'd be best to hear it from other fan's perspectives rather than just YouTube and news reports.
Very very difficult to get anything from Chelsea away in this league so at least we scored I guess.
The goals for us came from Amanda Nilden who lobbed one at the keeper who then pushed it down on to the goal line and it spun back a bit. I'm really not sure it crossed the line but there is no goal line tech in the WSL, see the highlights below to judge for yourself. The second goal was from Eve Summanen as a somewhat late consolation goal direct from a free kick. Despite Chelsea being the clearly better side their goals were created by a lot of our own sloppiness. The first was a terrible giveaway from Nilden, the second was DIRECT from a corner that's just bad Goalkeeping, their 3rd was an absolute beauty of a hit from Kaneryd but the girls were ball watching the cross a bit and let her run onto it, the 4th was a friggin missed penalty and again caught scrambling to let them score the rebound. A nice goal from Kaneryd to get the 5th but it was all over by then anyways. Oh by the way Grace Clinton scored again for Man U today smfh.
Here was the starting lineup. Amanda Nilden returned at LB. Ella Morris back and on the bench. Vinberg starts over Martha Thomas. Jhanaie Pierre made her senior squad debut on the bench but did not appear in the match today.
Players Left Out (all due to injury): Maite Oroz, Hayley Raso, Wang Shuang, Amy James-Turner, Kit Graham (ACL - Out for Season)

2 weeks off now for the Womens International Break before our next match home to West Ham on November 3rd.
We fucking suck against Man U. The scoreline is somewhat harsh on us based on how was started the match but as usual lately couldn't put away the chances when they came.
The goals were a brace from Elisabeth Terland (both assists from a Bizet cross... fml) and a penalty from Maya Le Tissier from a fairly dubious handball.
Here was the starting lineup. 3 changes to the squad with Oroz, Nilden and Raso all missing out with injury and being replaced by Ahtinen, Grant and England. Meant we only had 7 players on the bench including our 3rd GK showing our issue with depth and injuries at the moment.
Players Left Out (all due to injury): Oroz, Nilden, Raso, Wang Shuang, Amy James-Turner, Ella Morris, Kit Graham (ACL - Out for Season)

No relief to come as next up is Chelsea away on October 20th. Not going to get many points from this fixture but need to show some fight and finish chances when they come.
Absolutely robbed of a point by the official.
The goals came from Naz forcing an OG and Clare Hunt (whose almost was an OG as well). The ref then gave maybe the worst penalty of all time to gift Liverpool the 3 points. Becky will want both the first and 3rd goals back. First she was caught off her line after some sloppy passing out of the back and she got a hand on the pen but didn't keep it out.
Here was the starting lineup. Unchanged from out last league match with Beth England maintaining her place on the bench.
Players Left Out (all due to injury): Wang Shuang, Amy James-Turner, Ella Morris, Kit Graham (ACL - Out for Season)

Next up is Manchester United away (Next sunday the 13th) where we will face our player of the season last year in Grace Clinton as well as her best bud Celin Bizet who we were forced to sell for peanuts due to a low release clause. United away is always a tough go and they are undefeated as well as yet to concede a goal so far although they didn't play this weekend due to Chelsea playing in the champions league. The scheduling is so odd imo, there seems to be basically no coordination between the league and the champions league.
I have no idea what that penalty was given for. And the ref seemed incapable of playing advantage. I don’t blame Martha for getting shouty
A late grab of the 3 points with a belter winning goal from our own Jessica Naz!
The goals came from Naz and Buhler who grabbed her first goal for us, nodding in from a Vinberg free kick deep into the attacking third. Jess' goal came late on after some great strong play from Drew Spence who fed it out to her and she drove into the box and smashed it into the roof of the net. Great way to take the points after a fairly poor showing overall. Charlton's goal came on the counter from none other than Ellie Brazil beating us with pace and squaring to Bradley for a tap in.
Here was the starting lineup. Debut for Katelin Talbert as well as first starts for Lenna Gunning-Williams and Anna Csiki. Beth England finally started so got to wear the captains armband she was given last season.
Players Left Out (all due to injury): Wang Shuang, Amy James-Turner, Ella Morris, Kit Graham (ACL - Out for Season)

Next up is Liverpool at home. Liverpool had a great season last year, cracking the top 4 above both us and Manchester United. They have started slowly this year so far, taking 1-1 draws from both of their first two league matches and losing 2-0 to Man U in the cup today. I'm not super familiar with their squad but they did only make 3 summer signings against 6 first team departures. Next league cup match is end of November at home to Villa in what is likely the group winner decider. Only group winners progress to the QF this year, 5 groups and Chelsea, Arsenal, City are all given byes to the quarters due to playing in the champions league group stages.
Rescued a point on the road!
Goals from Eveliina from the spot to take the lead and from England to rescue the point after we had conceded two late ones to go down 2-1. F
Here was the starting lineup. Unchanged 11 from last week. Beth England started on the bench again so Molly had the armband.
Players Left Out: Wang Shuang, Amy James-Turner, Luana Buhler. Inj: Kit Graham (ACL - Out for Season)

Next up is an away trip to Charlton for the first match of the League Cup group stage. Only the top teams advance and we are in a group with Villa so we have to grab points against a team like Charlton. They are managed by Karen Hills who managed us for over a decade, seeing our rise through multiple promotions and cups, they also have Ellie Brazil and Gracie Pearse on the roster, two former Spurs players. Next league match is in one week home to Liverpool.
I bought one ticket for the Liverpool match (Oct 6th) and got a confirmation email. Have I missed something because I can’t find an actual ticket from my email or my Spurs account. I understood that the tickets would be delivered as e-tickets. Or is the ticket only going go be sent to me just before to the matchday?
I’m confused and panicking lol
Just thought this was a fun statistic to share, lots of people wanted Ellie to succeed here but she only repeated her injury problems and barely saw the pitch unfortunately. Charlton are also managed by our former manager, Karen Hills. They are undefeated to start the WSL2/Championship season.
She currently leads the league with 3 goals after 3 matchweeks, the other two players with multiple goals in the league are former Spurs players Rianna Dean for Southampton and Lucy Quinn for Birmingham.
Off to a flying start in the league with a 4-0 drubbing of newly promoted Palace.
Goals from Raso on her debut, Jess Naz, Drew Spence and Olga Ahtinen with a peach to cap it off. We really could have had 6 or 7. Couple great saves from their keeper and England should have passed across to Raso on the break as well. Imo Jess Naz was lucky to get her goal, she absolutely should have laid it to her right for Martha Thomas, was just very lucky for a second bite. Some chances to polish up against better sides. Palace defender had one of the dumbest double yellows you will ever see in your life in stoppage time and it almost got LGW her first goal from the set piece.
Here was the starting lineup with 3 debuts, Clare Hunt starting next to Molly Bartrip, Hayley Raso starting and scoring, and Maite Oroz going right into the midfield 3 with Spence and Summanen after signing late in the window. Beth England started on the bench so Molly had the armband.
Players Left Out: Wang Shuang, Amy James-Turner, Ella Morris. Inj: Kit Graham (ACL - Out for Season)

Next up is an away trip to Villa next Sunday. Villa will be one of our primary rivals for a top 6 finish. Really we should be looking for Top 4, especially after Liverpool somehow snuck in there last season after only being re-promoted that year. The downside is only Top 3 matter for Champions League and the Big 3 of Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City still have a chokehold on those places.

Hi,
I'm a therapist from Sydney and I wanted to share a personal story from one of my clients. He said it was okay to share but I won't share his name.
He is a former alcoholic and gambling addict (at the time he first came in he was still drinking and gambling), single dad (mother had died) and he had one son who loves soccer. Now I'm based in a richer part of Sydney but he came from one of the poorer, more crime-ridden parts, so obviously things were really tough already.
Anyway, his son, who has autism, has a favourite player, but it's not a he, it's a her. He says he loves Hayley Raso and always looked up to her and one day wants to go to see her player. He says he used to judge him over this, since it's not too common for boys to have female idols. But now he understands it. Especially without a female figure in the family growing up, since the relationship between a mother and son are psychologically different to between a father and son (both are good relationships but I think you get what I mean).
He quit drinking and gambling since it was ruining his life and wasting his money. He spent thousands of dollars on beer and pokies until he quit. And now he wants to spend his money on something for his son.
He said he recently bought him a Hayley Raso jersey for his birthday and is currently saving up to take his son over to England to see a Spurs game, hopefully getting her autograph.
I just wanted to share this heartwarming story with you.
How is everyone feeling about the team this season? As a fan from the States, I don’t get much information about what’s happening there. All I know is that we weren’t able to keep Grace, but we added Ella Morris.
I watched about half the matches last year, and my main takeaway was that we couldn’t score enough consistently. I don’t know enough about Ella, but I feel like we are going to take a step back without Grace.
I hope I’m wrong, but I wanted to see what others thought.
