Upfront - A Women's Football Podcast

If you are just receiving this episode: this edition of Upfront was originally recorded and released on Tuesday 22nd September. We apologise for the delay pulling through to podcast apps.

60 shots, 2 goals for Arsenal so far this term. Manchester United were the latest team to keep their attackers (almost) at bay. After coming away with a point from a physical battle at the Emirates, have Eva Olid’s side turned a corner?

On the blue side of Manchester it was a third win in a row for the defending champions, but an improved Liverpool may have exposed some of City’s weaker areas.

Finally, Chloe and Rachel are joined by FootballCo's Lead Women’s Football Writer and certified Friend of the Pod Ameé Ruszkai to preview the return of the Champions League!

Arsenal’s scoring woes continue, Liverpool put up a fight against Man City and we preview the UWCL with Ameé Ruszkai

The second weekend of the WSL, and yet more upsets. But should we be surprised by any of them?

Chloe and Rachel reflect on Chelsea's ruthless domination of Man United and some more troubling signs for Eva Olid. Plus, West Ham's frontline delivers the goods as we thought they might – but against the mighty London City! And sadly Michelle Kang didn't even make the journey to Dagenham...

And finally, we discuss Arsenal – yet again – drawing against a staunch defence at home after Crystal Palace's heroics. But are there some differences to previous seasons?

Chelsea inflict Man United misery, London City's wakeup call and Arsenal fall short

What an opening weekend in the WSL! A sloppy Manchester United were cast aside by a sharp-looking London City Lionesses as Alexia Putellas made her debut, Arsenal squeezed past Brighton and Chelsea were held to a draw by a Kirsty Hanson-less Aston Villa.

Plus, newly-promoted sides faced very different fates. Crystal Palace got a massive (but controversial) win against Everton and Charlton had a tough time against Liverpool.

Chloe and Rachel are on hand to guide you through it all.

London City make their mark, Chelsea falter and Crystal Palace break the rules

Where to begin? The season is almost upon us and, luckily for you lovely lot, Chloe and Rachel are on hand to provide the most comprehensive of previews.

First, the title contenders. Manchester City managed to keep hold of Bunny Shaw amid injury worries, Georgia Stanway could be the missing piece at Arsenal and Chelsea might be gearing up for a big return to the top spot. It’s just too close to call.

Plus, there’s plenty of time given to the league’s three newbies and every other WSL club besides. There are surely some surprises in store.

Elsewhere, London City Lionesses have a statement summer – in case you've been living under a rock, Alexia Putellas IS officially in Bromley – and we take a closer look at Manchester United.

Keira Walsh and Aggie Beever-Jones on Chelsea's pre-season

Having both missed out on automatic qualification for the World Cup, England and Ireland each face the play-offs in the autumn! England may have beaten Ukraine, but got the game plan very wrong against the Spanish, who appeared to be wearing boots that magnetised the ball to their feet.

In other seismic news, it looks like two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas is London City-bound! Chloe and Rachel try to wrap their heads around what this could mean for the WSL. Finally, women’s football infrastructure expert Sarah Rock joins us to chat about purpose-built stadiums for the women’s game and the divisive idea of ‘regional grounds’.

England and Ireland face the play-offs, Alexia Putellas to the WSL and football infrastructure expert Sarah Rock on purpose-built women’s stadia

Brighton put up a good fight but were ultimately blown away by Manchester City in the FA Cup Final. What’s more, Andrée Jeglertz’ team has been given a massive boost by Bunny Shaw announcing she’ll be staying! Could this be the start of a sky blue dynasty?

While City fans celebrate, Arsenal fans have been left somewhere between shocked and fuming by Katie McCabe’s transfer to rivals Chelsea. It is hard to resist the champions of the World Sevens, in fairness. Rachel was on the ground at that wacky tournament and is here to tell us all about it.

Finally, it’s that time again. England vs Spain for what feels like the millionth time.

Man City win the FA Cup, Bunny Shaw stays and Katie McCabe goes…

Chloe and Rachel headed to The Valley to witness history: the first EVER WSL play-off to decide whether Leicester City would preserve their WSL status, or if it would be Charlton Athletic's time to shine in the top flight.

As well as a pumping atmosphere, we speak to fans on both sides about their seasons, and hear from Chief Marketing Officer of WSL Football Ruth Hooper about this format and the raft of other changes introduced this season. Plus, you'll hear our verdict on the game and Chloe Morgan's real-time reactions to a truly memorable penalty shootout...
