Upfront - A Women's Football Podcast

Chloe and Rach are here to round up another goalicious weekend in the WSL, as Chelsea won again - despite a sloppy display against a decent-looking Brighton - and Aston Villa’s lack of consistency might put Robert de Pauw’s job at risk. Plus, has Renée Slegers done enough to earn the Arsenal job full-time?

We also look ahead to the fourth round of the FA Cup as the WSL sides barge in and threaten to spoil the party and Chloe brings tales of her own 12-hour FA Cup coach trips, where she'd usually just end up on the bench. Ouch.

Chelsea’s streak rolls on and could Renée Slegers stay on full-time?

It’s our final episode before Christmas! And Rach has got her special Christmas hat on – not that Chloe is particularly appreciative…

Elsewhere, Chloe might have been busy tending to her sourdough but it was a hell of a WSL weekend. Chelsea dropped points and then – oh no – Man City only got done by Everton, didn’t they?

We take a look across the table for our bumper mid-season review and try to work out what’s been going down at Aston Villa. Where better to start than LinkedIn…

Man City slip up, De Pauw messes up, and who’s staying up?

Welcome to a brand new season of On The Continent! Every week, join Dotun Adebayo and Andy Brassell as they bring you the biggest stories from across European football.

On today’s show, alongside The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, we look back on a tumultuous summer for Lionel Messi and ask where he and Barcelona will go from here. We also wonder what the start to the Ligue Un season might hold for PSG, after multiple players tested positive for coronavirus after a trip to Ibiza, and celebrate the Portuguese return of Andy’s one true love: Ricardo Quaresma!

On The Continent: Lionel Messi’s summer of discontent, PSG face selection issues, and The Mustang rides again

Juventus will begin the Andrea Pirlo era this weekend with the return of Serie A – can they win their tenth consecutive title, or will one of the Milan sides spoil the party? We try to answer that question on this week’s episode of On The Continent!

Dotun Adebayo and Andy Brassell are joined by Nicky Bandini to look ahead to some returning European football. We look into whether Borussia Dortmund can halt Bayern’s dominance and pick through the aftermath of the brawl in PSG’s clash with Marseille. Plus, our Games of the Week returns! Free live football, anyone?

On The Continent: Dortmund try to halt Bayern, more drama in Le Classique, and who will win Serie A?

For the return of Football Ramble’s Book Club, a legend of football journalism joins Kate Mason and Jim Campbell in the studio: Julie Welch, the country’s first female reporter and author of ‘The Fleet Street Girls’!

Julie burst onto the scene in the 1970s, in a time when women were still forbidden from the male sanctity of the football press box. Despite this, she overcame seemingly relentless sexism and misogyny and established herself as one of the country’s best sportswriters. She joins us to discuss her memories of Fleet Street's glory years, from having afternoon tea with Alan Ball to enjoying her status as a trailblazing figure for women hoping to break into the industry.

You can purchase a copy of 'The Fleet Street Girls' here.

What should we read next? Let us know on Twitter @FootballRamble and @kvlmason.

Book Club: The Fleet Street Girls, Julie Welch

Lars Sivertsen joins Dotun Adebayo and Andy Brassell on today’s episode as we take another leisurely stroll down the tree-lined avenues of European football. 

Today, we begin by wondering about Kylian Mbappé’s next step in his career – should he stay at PSG or leave Ligue Un so as to establish himself as the world’s best? We also break down Luis Suárez’s transfer to Atletico Madrid, as Barcelona seemingly forgot to leave Atleti off their competitors list. And, after their 8-0 humbling at the hands of Bayern Munich, we look at the mounting problems around Schalke and their repeated missteps in the transfer market.

On The Continent: Kylian Mbappé’s ascent to the top, Luis Suárez joins the dark side, and systematic problems at Schalke

If you’re craving European football insight, then look no further – Dotun Adebayo, Andy Brassell and ESPN’s David Cartlidge are here with a brand new episode of On The Continent!

After last night’s 3-2 loss in the German Super Cup left a strange sense of déjà vu for Dortmund, we wonder what they can do to help them step up to the next level. Should they invest some money in a more high profile coach? We also recap a crazy week for Inter, praise some imperious performances from Atleti youngster João Félix and tip our hats to Fiorentina’s age-defying pass master, Franck Ribéry.

On The Continent: The emergence of João Félix, Inter’s chaotic performances, and who can push Dortmund on?

Why exactly are La Liga’s biggest sides in so much financial trouble? On today’s episode, Dotun Adebayo, Andy Brassell and Miguel Delaney get stuck into the reasons and implications behind their stark transfer inactivity!

Elsewhere, the return of international football gives us a chance to assess some of Europe’s top sides and look forward to some chaotic Euro 2020 qualifiers over the next few days. And, after Napoli failed to turn up to their match against Juventus, we wonder if these forced postponements will become a regular feature of the European season.

On The Continent: Changes to the international football landscape, La Liga’s financial troubles, and tough times for Napoli

Craving European football insight? Well, you’ve come to the right place; join Dotun Adebayo, Andy Brassell and Lars Sivertsen for a brand new episode of On The Continent!

On this week's episode, we look at the waning influence of French starlet Antoine Griezmann and ask what he can still offer both Atlético Madrid and his national side. We then wonder whether Lars Lagerbäck is the right manager to lead Norway’s hugely talented young side, despite Erling Braut Håland netting his first international hat-trick this week. And, as the Champions League returns, we bring you news on where fans may be allowed into European stadiums to mark the return of the competition.

On The Continent: Antoine Griezmann’s declining influence, Norway’s quest for expansion, and some Champions League crowds

With the ongoing pandemic resulting in hundreds of football games being played out in empty stadiums, finding a suitable venue for the return of At The Match has proved a bit trickier than usual. Luckily, fans are allowed to watch one of the most interesting and vibrants clubs in South London, so Andy and Luke packed the microphones onto the P4 bus and headed to Peckham Town FC! 

Set up by then 13-year-old Bryan Hall in 1982 after sticking a poster up on a tree in Peckham Rye park, the club has been built on the tireless work of hundreds of volunteers and remains a bedrock of local community. Andy and Luke speak to founder Bryan about how the club continues to represent the diversity and spirit of the area after forty years, while manager Mary Phillip explains how she got involved with the club and her experience as the first woman to manage a men’s team to success in an FA senior trophy. We even get to see some cracking football, as Peckham play some lovely stuff and stick five past Stansfeld!

At The Match: Peckham Town 5-0 Stansfeld, October 2020

To wrap up 2022, today we’re keeping it real. Chloe and Rachel look back on an enthralling weekend in the WSL and ask whether we have a four-way title race in store in 2023.

A host of our contributors this year also drop by as we share some of our favourite moments of this year (apparently something happened at Wembley) and draw up our list of New Year’s resolutions.

**We’ll be back on January 10th to preview the WSL’s return after the winter break!**
