Welcome to Episode 62 of The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast with Nick & Dom.

We all know that football is nearly always something of an emotional rollercoaster - and to discuss just that, we are delighted to have a very special guest with us, fellow Podcast Host and Speaker - Hollie Agombar of Hollie's Hotspurs.

It's fair to say that Spurs have been the epitome of a rollercoaster - or a snakes & ladders board, probably since missing out to Leicester in the 2016 Premier League run-in, the Champion's League Final loss to Liverpool in 2019, to winning the Europa League in 2025, but also circling the Premier League relegation drain twice with 17th place finishes in consecutive seasons.

And there have been plenty of Managers (including 4 just last season) in the mix too.

As real fans, we discussed “The Ups & Downs of a Genuine Football Fan” - and Hollie was honest, open and very engaging in sharing her journey over recent years as a Spurs fan - but also from where the rollercoaster started for her.

It IS about Hollie’s Spurs journey but it will resonate with ANY genuine football fan - the emotions and the emotional drain of following ANY club.

So, even if you support Arsenal, a different Premier League side or a side playing in the Championship or the rest of the pyramid, we think you will relate and enjoy.
