Upfront - A Women's Football Podcast

It may have been a “claggy” pitch in Iceland, and it may not have been a classic England performance, but a win is a win! And in the Lionesses’ 500th game, no less. Make no mistake, though, the Dóttirs are a force to be reckoned with.

Chloe and Rachel also speak to journalist and German football expert Kit Holden about Union Berlin’s groundbreaking appointment of Marie-Louise Eta as the head coach of their men's side.

Finally, it’s nearly Champions League semi-final time. Four massive teams, three former winners. This should be good.

Sazzy Wiegs’ England continue to make Wembley their fortress, battling their way to a 1-0 win over their old foe Spain. Lauren Hemp scored in the blink of an eye (Chloe’s calling it a “semi bicycle kick half-turn volley”) and Hannah Hampton was heroic at the death.

Elsewhere, Katie McCabe can’t stop scoring for Ireland! After narrow defeats to France and the Netherlands, they managed to hold on to defeat Poland in Gdansk. What a screamer from the captain, by the way.

Fresh from their two-legged triumph at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League, Arsenal kept up their poor FA Cup form with a 2-0 defeat against Brighton. Chloe and Rachel praise Brighton and ask just why Arsenal can’t get the consistency to fight on multiple fronts.

Elsewhere, it’s high time we take a closer look at the title race in WSL2 because it is HOT! We take you through all the permutations and Chloe explains just what it’s like to start planning ahead for the top-flight as a player when you’re still not sure about your future. Plus, an England vs Spain preview! And we promise we haven’t just copy pasted the last one.

On a historic night for Chelsea, Rach heads down to Stamford Bridge to do something historic herself: get a Chelsea and an Arsenal fan to talk to each other!

Join us as Rach sits down with members of both Chelsea Women Supporters Group and Arsenal Women Supporters Club. We also chat with AWSC's chair, Farah Chowdhury, and bring you the electric atmosphere at the Bridge from pitchside. Finally, Rach sits down with the one and only Sophie Downey to look back on a breathless 90 minutes and what it means for both clubs.

Man City might have two hands and a foot on the WSL trophy, but there is STILL a Chelsea pinky toe on there too. Lots of foot chat in this one, sorry everyone.

Chloe and Rachel discuss the goals, the salty interviews, and that Kim Little tifo. Plus, Chloe gets disturbed by Rachel's leggings/jeggings and Rachel gets even more disturbed by Chloe comparing herself with Camilla. Stay tuned...
