Spurs Ladies international call-ups!

Megan Wynne, Anna Filbey, Jess Naz and Rianna Dean have all been rewarded for their fine form with international call-ups this January.

Megan Wynne and Anna Filbey have both been called up to the Welsh senior squad for a training camp in Newport followed by an away friendly in Italy. The match takes place on Tuesday 22nd at 5pm GMT. Meanwhile, at St George’s Park, Spurs’ top-scorer Rianna Dean is taking part in a training camp all this week with the England U21s.

Jess Naz is part of the England U19 squad competing in the Algarve Tournament this month. In England’s match against Norway on the 16th, Jess came on as a substitute when we were 3-1 down and assisted the Lionesses’ second goal as well as being involved in a number of later chances, though the team couldn’t find an equaliser and the game ended 2-3. The next match is against the Netherlands on Sunday 20th (1pm GMT).

Emma Beckett signs for Spurs Ladies from London Bees!

Spurs Ladies are strengthening the squad in the winter transfer window and defensive midfielder Emma Beckett has joined the club from local rivals and fellow Championship side London Bees. She made her Spurs debut on Sunday 13th, coming on late in the 3-0 win over Lewes.

The former Bees skipper, age 31, was a nominee for Championship Player of the Month in December, has been capped for the Republic of Ireland, and hopes to be “an older head with a lot of experience” for a team whose attacking style of play and ethos of hard work she admires.

Emma said it’s been easy to see from the outside how much progress Spurs have made since joining the second tier, and that she’s been learning what’s next in the team’s plans: “I’ve consulted some of the players who I’ve previously played with and they said the coaching sessions have been excellent with the standard throughout, the attention to detail - these are all the kinds of things that have put Spurs in the position they are in.”

It’s amazing to be joined by a player with so much experience at this level. Welcome to Tottenham, Emma!

Spurs in second after the first fixtures of 2019

The first round of league fixtures in 2019 has been played, and after 11 games Tottenham Hotspur are in second, just a point behind title favourites Manchester United after fighting to beat Sheffield United 2-1 last weekend.

Charlton Athletic and Durham make up the remainder of a close top four, though both have played one more game than Spurs and Manchester United. As it stands, the top four are all within three points of each other. Durham remain the only team in the league to have gained points playing United, having drawn one and won one, and have themselves registered only one defeat so far this season.

Leicester City made a good start to their debut Championship campaign and, in fifth place, now lead the chasing pack. Having won 4-0 against Lewes last week, they have 16 points and a game in hand which may allow them to narrow the gap to fourth. Tomorrow they will hope to take advantage of a home fixture against last-placed Millwall, who have not won a league game this season and most recently lost 3-1 to Crystal Palace.

The six-pointer of the weekend sees Charlton (who drew 2-2 with the formidable Durham last week) host Manchester United, hoping to improve on their 3-0 loss in the reverse fixture early in the season.

In North London, Tottenham host Lewes and Crystal Palace visit London Bees at The Hive, where the hosts will hope to put last week’s heavy defeat in Manchester behind them. Aston Villa, who have recovered in recent weeks from a poor start to the season, travel to face Durham.

Hoping to get back on top of posts here in the near future, bear with me! Life has been so hectic. Also, I realised I’ve exceeded 1000 posts on this blog now and have 99 amazing followers - thank you to every one of you for sticking with me, no matter how long you’ve been here, and I hope your 2019 is off to a wonderful start (and if not, hang in there)!

If you’re in the UK and able to make these excursions, you could try and get to a Spurs Ladies match this year, especially if you haven’t already - or to another women’s football game, for any of our followers who are not specifically Tottenham fans! In fact, I went to see Chelsea v Reading in the league a couple of years ago and it was a fantastic game with drama and great team/individual performances and several England international players, so this applies to anyone and everyone: don’t be afraid to go as a neutral! Hope everyone’s excited for the World Cup this year too! Nearer the time, I’ll do my best to help people find out how/where they can watch it from home - in the UK it’s easier than ever before to see women’s football on TV (and I hope will continue to get easier), and I know there are options elsewhere too.

Best wishes to all, and COYS!

Tottenham Hotspur Ladies have released a statement confirming that Renée Hector has alleged she was racially abused on the pitch yesterday by an opposition player during Spurs’ first fixture of 2019 at Sheffield United. The incident was reported to the referee at the time and the club has now reported it to the FA. Sheffield United has also acknowledged the allegations via Twitter, saying that they are investigating the incident.

Renée Hector’s statement can be seen above (middle-left). Club captain Jenna Schillaci and teammate Chloe Morgan were among many players, friends and fans who voiced their support for Renée on Twitter, pointing out that there is “no place in football for racism”.

Racism, like all forms of discrimination, does not belong in our game or indeed anywhere in a civilised society. It does not matter who the victim is - their gender, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, or shirt colours. It does not make a difference if they play for your club or your rivals - if it is Spurs’ Renée Hector, or Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, or Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling. It does not matter if the perpetrator is a player, fan or staff member, although the suggestion that yesterday’s abuse was from a player is particularly disheartening. Racism is always unacceptable and should never be excused. There are many valid reasons to criticise or dislike someone; the colour of their skin is not one of them.

Spurs and football fans everywhere are behind Renée on this issue and proud of her for coping with such a horrible situation so positively. We love you and stand by you as we try to make our sport better for everyone.
