  • Home and Away World Cup Special Episode 4
    Jul 2 2026
    In this World Cup Special episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen are joined by Suneil Menon — our first non-Spurs supporting guest in over 100 episodes — to talk through the knockout stages so far. We start with England’s Great Escape against DR Congo: the dreadful start, defensive issues, hydration-break chaos, Harry Kane’s late heroics, Jude Bellingham, Jed Spence, Madueke, Saka, and whether Thomas Tuchel’s side can survive a huge test against Mexico at the Azteca. There’s also plenty of debate around Harry Kane’s legacy, whether he needed to leave Spurs, and what England would possibly do without him. We then look across the knockout games so far, including Belgium’s dramatic comeback against Senegal, the USA’s chances against Belgium, France looking terrifying, Spain starting to click, Portugal’s Ronaldo dilemma, Croatia’s tournament know-how, Germany and the Netherlands going out on penalties, Japan’s unlucky exit, and the strange feeling of a 32-team knockout round. Finally, we preview some of the next big fixtures, including Argentina vs Cape Verde, Australia vs Egypt, Paraguay vs France, Canada vs Morocco, Brazil vs Norway and, of course, Mexico vs England.

  • Home and Away World Cup Special Episode 5
    Jul 10 2026
    In this World Cup Special episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen are joined by Kjetil from Norway Spurs to preview a huge England vs Norway World Cup quarter-final. We discuss Norway’s incredible tournament so far, their golden generation, how far they’ve come since the long-ball days of the 1990s, and why this Norway side is about far more than just Erling Haaland. Kjetil gives us the Norwegian view on Haaland, Ødegaard, Sander Berge, the Brazil win, and what this moment means for Norwegian football. We also look back at England’s dramatic win over Mexico at the Azteca, the late-night viewing pain, Tuchel’s in-game management, Dan Burn and Jed Spence’s impact, and whether England are stronger in attack than defence heading into the Norway game. There’s also discussion around Argentina’s chaotic win over Egypt, VAR and refereeing inconsistency, Trump’s interference around the USA red card, FIFA and Infantino, Belgium knocking out the USA, South American teams struggling, Cape Verde’s fairytale, Mexico fans, and the wider fan experience around the tournament. Finally, we preview England vs Norway properly: Haaland vs England’s defence, Kane vs Norway, Ødegaard’s supply line, Sander Berge’s role, Miami heat and possible thunderstorms, and predictions for what could be a brilliant — and very tense — quarter-final. Please like and subscribe for more World Cup specials from a Spurs perspective. Come on England — and good luck Norway.

  • Home and Away World Cup Special Episode 6
    Jul 13 2026
    In this World Cup Special episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen are joined by Chris Herrera from Buenos Aires to preview a massive England vs Argentina World Cup semi-final. We discuss the build-up from both sides: the mood in Argentina, how Buenos Aires has reacted to the tournament, whether Argentina are relying too much on Lionel Messi, and why this current side looks slower and more fatigued than the team that won the last World Cup. There’s also plenty of England talk after the quarter-final win over Norway: the heat, the conditions, Jude Bellingham stepping up again, Morgan Rogers’ impact, Dan Burn, England’s squad depth, and why the Azteca win over Mexico may have given England a new level of belief. We also get into the history and emotion of England vs Argentina: 1966, 1986, Maradona, the Hand of God, the Goal of the Century, 1998, Beckham, Simeone, and why this fixture still feels like proper football theatre. Elsewhere, we look back at the other quarter-finals, including France beating Morocco, Spain grinding past Belgium, and what the Spain vs France semi-final might look like. Finally, we give predictions for both semi-finals and ask whether England vs Argentina could be one for the ages. Please like and subscribe for more World Cup specials from a Spurs perspective.
