Upfront - A Women's Football Podcast

There is only one way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day here at Upfront, and that’s getting Chloe Morgan to try and say a load of things in Irish with very mixed results.

Chloe and Rachel tackle the League Cup final, which saw Sonia Bompastor pick up her fourth trophy! But why were Man United so flat? We discuss what’s behind their lack of belief. Plus, Liverpool get a huge win at the bottom to push Leicester City deeper into trouble. Do we think they would lose against the 3rd-best team in WSL2 in the play-off? And Aston Villa take points off Man City thanks to the Brian Effect.

Chelsea pip Man United (again), Liverpool sink Leicester, and Man City drop points!

One of our favourite players in the WSL – a true baller and fashion icon – joins Chloe and Rachel in the studio today. It's Spurs star and Lioness, Jess Naz!

We catch up with Jess on her recovery since injuring her ACL in December – the second of her career – and how she's drawing on that past experience to come back even stronger. We also get Jess's perspective on Spurs' record-breaking season, working with Martin Ho, and why the dressing room's family atmosphere is driving the team's success.

Jess also reflects on her passions outside of football – from fashion, to art – and reveals that she does in fact play as Spurs on EA FC.

Jess Naz on her ACL recovery, England dreams and being a style icon

We're on the road to the 2027 Brazil World Cup! And after 45 minutes of knocking the ball about, England hit the road in style.

Chloe and Rachel look back on the Lionesses' 6-1 win over Ukraine, which featured some interesting personnel and some vintage Georgia Stanway. Plus, a stark reminder of why World Cup qualification is so hard this year, WAFCON gets officially postponed less than two weeks before it was supposed to start (we know, right), and a heartbreaking defeat for Ireland against France. Rach was there and tells us more!

England find their shooting boots, heartbreak for Ireland, and WAFCON gets postponed

Today, we're joined by a star of the Wales national team and one of Clo's former teammates... it's Josie Green!

Josie is 21 weeks into her pregnancy and reveals all about the realities of being a professional footballer while pregnant. She also opens up about a period of transition for the Wales National Team as they begin World Cup qualification – and what the squad listen to before EVERY game. You'll never guess...

Pregnancy and football, with Josie Green

Chloe and Rachel whizz through a bumper FA Cup weekend, where we saw a glimpse of the Chelsea we’re used to after their impressive win against Man United. A cracking Sam Kerr goal wasn’t a bad way to commemorate her 150th appearance, either!

In other FA Cup business, we react to the news that next season’s controversial format changes have been delayed. Plus, we’re joined by Oxford United goalkeeper Maddison Millington-Stanbury to chat about the club’s dream FA Cup journey, her career ambitions and how football continues to be a safe haven in light of her autism diagnosis.

Chelsea get back to their best, abandoning FA Cup format changes, and a chat with Oxford United’s Maddison Millington-Stanbury!

Yes, Villa fans, we know you lost 7-3 at Villa Park... But PLEASE don’t start panicking about Natalia Arroyo. Everything’s fine, it was just a mad game...

Elsewhere, we review a near-perfect week for Man United - even if Jim Ratcliffe seems intent on spoiling it. Plus, after the controversy around Eni Aluko this week, we chat about representation and inclusion within punditry across the women’s game.

Spurs' magnificent seven, a near-perfect week for Man United, and representation in punditry

You think you've seen it all before, perched on top of the wobbly commentary gantry at the Chigwell Construction Stadium... and then West Ham deliver those last 10 minutes against Brighton. Chloe and Rachel saw all the drama in the flesh and reflect on it all. What a relegation battle we've got on our hands!

But first off, there's the small matter of Arsenal beating the league leaders Manchester City to continue the Renéeformation and at long, long last just going direct with Olivia Smith up top. We also discuss Chelsea's less than convincing win against Spurs and what the departure of their influential head of football means for the club moving forward. And Madonna rocks up to a WSL game! But we're not Hung Up on it...

Arsenal halt Man City, more uncertainty at Chelsea, and Chloe goes up a wobbly scaffold

Few people know the transfer market better than Claire Rafferty. In her role at TransferRoom, she's spoken to clubs all over Europe and beyond about what they want, who they want and (crucially) how much they want to pay or earn.

Claire joins Chloe and Rachel to reveal what's really going on in the transfer market: from commercially-driven signings, to the ever-growing number of Scandinavian players coming to the WSL, and the impact of no major tournament this summer.

And as the spending in women's football keeps rising, will the numbers just keep going up? Plus, Chloe wants to know her own transfer value.

Inside the WSL's exploding transfer market, with Claire Rafferty

Chelsea have been well and truly dumped from their perch. Chloe and Rachel react to a remarkable game at the Etihad where Man City ran riot and Sonia Bompastor and her players were left stunned. We discuss the reaction among Chelsea circles and what's really behind their rapid demise from unbeaten WSL juggernauts.

Elsewhere, Arsenal battle past Corinthians and their incredibly vibey fans – while Rach walks Chloe through the truly bizarre trophy presentation that followed. Plus, a quick round-up of the biggest transfer stories before the window shuts! Where will Katie McCabe be off to this summer?

Man City demolish Chelsea, Arsenal are world champions (sort of), and the transfer window closes!

Today, we're joined by a true Chelsea and Wales legend. Rach sits down with Sophie Ingle to find out more about life at Bristol City since leaving west London last summer.

They discuss Sophie's new perspective since returning from injury, how much she relishes the new challenge of WSL2, and her quiet style of leadership in dressing rooms throughout her career. Come join us!
