Upfront - A Women's Football Podcast

We're back! Chloe and Rachel catch up at Upfront's brand new HQ on everything that's happened since the Euros – which, somehow, was already a month ago.

We discuss Olivia Smith's record-breaking move to Arsenal and London City Lionesses' business so far: are they refreshing disruptors or bringing more imbalance to the league?

Plus, the WSL2 is pulling in stars from all over the place – we take a look at how this season's extra promotion spot is forcing clubs to go big or go home.

Please fill out Stak's listener survey! It'll help us learn more about the content you love so we can bring you even more - you'll also be entered into a competition to win one of five PlayStation 5's! Click here: https://bit.ly/staksurvey2025

Olivia Smith, Michelle Kang's big bucks, and the WSL2 pressure cooker

Chloe and Rachel have just about peeled themselves off their ceilings in time to for our FINAL show of Euro 2025! And it's a big one...

Back by popular demand, it's our first-ever Upfront Awards for a major tournament! Who is our Player of the Tournament? What was Chloe's spiciest moment (possibly sponsored by Nandos)? And what was Rach's favourite snap?

We also discuss the impact of England's victory and how it compares to 2022!

ENGLAND ARE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS... AGAIN! | Euro 2025 #15

It's here: England, the defending champions, take on Spain, the world champions. Chloe and Rachel are joined by England legend and BBC co-commentator Rachel Brown-Finnis to look ahead to what promises to be an extraordinary final.

They discuss England's journey and the media narratives that have swirled around it – plus, RBF reveals what she would tell these England players to unlock that Spain defence. We also find out about the secret behind Michelle Agyemang's ice-cold persona and there's even time for our score predictions! Sort of...

Our Euro 2025 Final Preview! | Euro 2025 #14

Aitana Bonmatí settled it with a cheeky moment of magic last night – but has a poor game left us feeling more optimistic about England's chances?

Chloe and Rachel discuss a tale of two goalkeepers and how Germany managed to restrict Spain so effectively. Plus, we answer your burning questions ahead of the final on Sunday! 

Will Wiegman change her starting XI? Will England thrive without the ball? And has Chloe's impersonation of Rachel got any better? Tune in to find out!

Spain snatch victory and we answer your questions! | Euro 2025 #13

What's good for England after the 80th minute isn't good for Rach's ulcerative colitis. But seriously: WHAT A GAME, WHAT A NIGHT!

Chloe and Rachel sit down with hoarse voices to relive England's comeback win against Italy and celebrate Michelle Agyemang's calmness beyond her years, Chloe Kelly's 'it's me' mentality, and some absolute much-needed grit.

We also salute Italy's run (but not some of their - ahem - dark arts) and ask: can Germany really do it again Spain? Chloe thinks so!

Queen Agyemang | Euro 2025 #12

Thought England vs Sweden was going to be the most chaotic game of the quarter-finals? Well last night Germany said: "hold my stein".

Chloe and Rachel relive another extraordinary penalty shootout and discuss how France managed to mess it up against 10 players for over 100 minutes.

Plus, Spain knocked the Swiss out – but the vibes were unrivalled. Rach tells us all about the atmosphere on Friday night!

England beat Sweden on penalties... somehow! | Euro 2025 #10

Italy are back in the semi-finals of the Euros for the first time since 1997! And what a night for the ultimate national team captain, Cristiana Girelli. Just please ignore the fact that she's the same age as us.

Chloe and Rachel relive a chaotic first quarter-final, which featured the most short-lived redemption arc for Ada Hegerberg and one of the best dugout-emptying goal celebrations you will ever see. Then, we look ahead to England's big test tonight against the Swedes – and there's been plenty of trash talk to contend with...

Italy prevail in the chaos and trash talk between England and Sweden! | Euro 2025 #9

Now the group stages are done and dusted, Chloe and Rachel take stock of everything they've seen (and smelt) so far.

What's been our favourite moment? Which nations and teams have surprised us? And will UEFA ever award a Swedish Player of the Match correctly?

Plus, Barcelona-based presenter and friend of the pod Alex Ibaceta joins us! She gives us the lowdown on Alexia Putellas' incredible form and rising expectations among the Spanish public back home...

The story so far: Spain's form, England's draw, and our favourite moments! | Euro 2025 #8

On today’s episode of Ramble Meets… we welcome a man who, by his own admission, tried really hard not to be a footballer - and failed. It’s former Chelsea, Everton and Scotland winger, Pat Nevin!

Pat joins Mark Pougatch to discuss an enriching career that was fuelled by a sheer enjoyment of football, with the trappings of fame and fortune never a remote consideration. He talks about his journey from the politically charged streets of the east end of Glasgow to Chelsea FC and London’s burgeoning music scene, all with a vigour that shows Pat’s love for the game will never truly dwindle.

You can purchase Pat's new book, The Accidental Footballer, here!
