Episode 136 - Need for Mead
With another international break coming, the WSL reminded us what we'll be missing - 26 goals across 6 games! Even better, 2 were from the returning Beth Mead. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City continue their free-scoring ways, Liverpool and Man U get back on track and the league's mid/lower league teams are consistently inconsistent. Plus, we talk about future potential WSL/Championship changes and investment.

Episode 134 - Arsenal's Jonas Slowness
One month into the 2023/24 Barclays Women's Super League and the Nations League has butted in! At least it gives us a chance to take stock of the first 4 gameweeks. We talk through the first month of the season; who has surprised, who has underwhelmed and who can stop Willie Kirk's Leicester City?
It's been a slow start for Arsenal, Villa and one or two others but our Manchester City & Chelsea title race prediction is looking very promising. Plus, Brighton's stadium plans, Marc Skinner's UWCL comments and we spin the 'Wheel of Doom' to get our new Booze from a Boot (new forfeit to be confirmed!) goalscorers for the season.

Customer Reviews
The best football podcast of all
Informed, intelligent, and funny, always enjoyable!
Always look forward to new episodes!
Good discussions. Fun too.
Always chaos on the pitch
Hey girls, always enjoy listening though sometimes you talk so fast with those beautiful Manchester(?) accents. Particularly appreciated your discussion of the final Chelsea vs Man United match because you never mention Arsenal. All the hype and back and forth on other pods even commentary during the game that Arsenal win the league if Chelsea drop points to Man United annoyed me. Arsenal had nothing to do with this competitive beautiful game between our favourite clubs. Gotta love Man United 1) because the great Casey Stoney built it; 2) because the fan favourite “Take me home United Road” is the best football song ever; 3) because Pernille Harder and her dad are United fans (surely this accounts for Chelsea and Denmark singing the original “Country Roads” in celebration). I agree that Lucy Bronze is the best footballer in the world. And she’s transferring to the NWSL after the EUROS! That means she’ll be here for the chaos of the playoffs. Okay. So which west coast team? Casey Stoney’s San Diego tops the table! Freya Coombe’s Angel City is 2nd! Expansion teams in the NWSL never perform . . . until now. Amazing. And best of all their fans pack Toreo and the Banc for home games. The woman’s game is thriving here in the NWSL. Though not so much for NC Courage since they brought back she-who-shall-not-be-named. When the fans spoke out, management issued clueless homophobic statements in response and alienated their fans. Oops! The latest is that NC fans no longer show up, attendance is down, and the players feel deflated. However, when Casey Stoney’s Wave came to town featuring top scorer Alex Morgan, the place rocked out. The fans cheered Alex who scored the winning goal for the Wave. After the game a couple of cool lesbians were so undaunted as to get engaged on the pitch and even kiss, kiss, right in front of she-who-shall-not-be-named. NC Courage is at the bottom of the table reaping what they sow. I think Casey Stoney, former Lioness defender, recruited defender Lucy Bronze to play for the San Diego Wave, and I’m here for it. The greatest footballer in the world is joining the NWSL in August before the WSL season kicks off. Promise me you’ll watch some games. Promise. Love the pod. Thanks.
