Upfront - A Women's Football Podcast

Karen Carney might have been back from Strictly, but there weren't many quick-steps on the pitch at the Emirates on Saturday. 

Chloe and Rachel are reunited in the studio to look back on the first weekend of 2026 in the WSL, which had some familiar stories and one very controversial one involving Phallon Tullis-Joyce. Chloe gives a goalkeeper's perspective on time-wasting...

Elsewhere, it's more pain for West Ham as we take a closer look at a catalogue of errors – and we get all excited for the FA Cup by speaking to one of the heroes in the 4th round this weekend, York City's Niamh Dooly! Will we invite ourselves on the possible post-match team night out? You bet we will.

Arsenal's reshuffle, Chelsea are back with a vengeance, and we hear about the ultimate minnow in this year's FA Cup!

Eder, Rita – welcome to the WSL! Make sure to hold on tight to this merry-go-round here and get that seatbelt on. You're gonna need it.

Chloe and Rachel are back from the Christmas break, although Rachel remains in Norway where she's presumably been looking for Spurs' next wonderkid signing.

They discuss Jocelyn Prêcheur and Rehanne Skinner's sackings just before Christmas and where those decisions leave London City Lionesses and West Ham. Plus, Manchester United get on top of their business, Arsenal do their classic January window thing, and the girls share the one player on their transfer wishlists!

Sacking season, the January transfer window opens and the WSL returns!

For our final episode of 2025, we’re joined by a player who we have wanted on the pod since the very beginning!

Aurora Galli - otherwise known by her nickname Yaya - is one of the best personalities in the WSL and since joining Everton back in 2021, she has rapidly become a fan favourite on Merseyside.

But on the opening day of last season, Galli ruptured her ACL. Apart from a brief return in May, it has kept her sidelined for over a year and meant that she missed out on a generational Euros for Italy.

So today, we’re getting to know Yaya, reflecting on the past year, and looking ahead to a new chapter in 2026. Plus, she tells us all about her dreams of one day opening a restaurant...

Upfront Wrapped 2025 & New Year’s Resolutions!

That’s it for the WSL in 2025! And we were treated to a couple of bangers this weekend to finish things off. Chloe and Rachel relive it all!

Man United pulled off mission impossible against Spurs – although maybe it was more like ‘mission never should have been impossible in the first place’ – and Marc Skinner was evidently feeling a little hot under the collar.

Elsewhere, West Ham and Liverpool played out a four goal stalemate that left no one happy, Rachel least of all!

And Man City kept up their title pace with a blistering 6-1 win against Aston Villa, featuring a very special milestone for Bunny Shaw. Can anything stop her taking the all-time WSL goalscoring record?

Man United escape, West Ham miss their chance, and Bunny Shaw cannot be stopped

Chloe and Rachel chat to Scotland and FC Como centre-back Sophie Howard about life at what's been called “the most stylish football club in the world”.

Sophie lifts the lid on the grit behind the glamour and how Como have risen to the top of the Serie A table. She also speaks about the past, present and future of a career which has seen her play in Germany, the US, England and now Italy, and reflects on mental health support in football and how she overcame her own battles. Join us for a fascinating, wide-ranging conversation!

Chelsea didn't have a chisel and hammer on Sunday to get through Everton and Courtney Brosnan... so THE RUN has come to an end!

Chloe and Rachel react to a huge upset and the dodgy social media graphics that followed. But is the title race really all over? We think not...

Plus, Arsenal get a desperately-needed win at the Emirates after some seismic reports during the international break. We give our thoughts on that and Chloe sheds more light on dressing room dynamics.

The Lionesses celebrated their homecoming tour with a brutal 8-0 thrashing of China at Wembley... but not everyone in the aftermath has been entirely happy about it!

Chloe and Rachel reflect on that and why this game was important – for both China and England. Elsewhere, GK Barry and the League Cup draw causes a huge stir and the WSL returns this weekend! Plus, a listener all the way in New Zealand asks for football etiquette advice...

The international break is back! Chloe and Rachel look ahead to the Lionesses' return to Wembley on Saturday night, featuring Hannah Hampton's newly-extended Ikea trophy cabinet.

Elsewhere, we take a moment to salute some non-league heroes across the FA Cup second round and react to major WSL2 news that Tanya Oxtoby is taking the reins at Newcastle. 

Plus, US soccer journalist Asli Pelit joins the pod to give the lowdown on the NWSL final – and what's next for one of the league's major stars, Trinity Rodman.
