Customer Reviews
Flo and Jessy great; Becky rattled
I like the way Jessy takes the occasional Chelsea loss on the chin but the way Becky’s blood gets boiled by Arsenal fans merely existing is mega cringe! She barely even talks up Liverpool women. But her seething hatred for Arsenal seems to dominate the discourse. Try to be a little more unbiased please. Still love the pod. Cheers.
The best women’s footy pod out there
How would I sum up this podcast? Essentially a group of friends talking women’s football in an educated (and sometimes comical) way - Hits all the major talking points, brings up important issues, and has some great guests. Even if you don’t know them personally, you feel like you fit in right in amongst the chatter.
stick to the wsl
they are completely incapable of intelligently discussing any league outside of the WSL, so they shouldn’t try… but they do. Euro snobbery at its pretentious best, if thats your thing.
