Rachel is joined by Spurs’ head coach Robert Vilahamn for a special, wide-ranging interview!

He dials in from Spurs’ pre-season training camp to reflect on his first season in the WSL. He reveals his biggest high of the season – and the moment where he stopped being ‘that Swedish guy’ – and explains just how the squad bought into his ideas so quickly.

Plus, Robert outlines the four pillars of ‘Bobbyball’ and opens up about Grace Clinton’s return to Man United.

That’s a wrap on the Olympics! And just 84 days after winning the WSL with Chelsea, Emma Hayes had a gold medal with the USWNT around her neck. Rachel was there in Paris and chats with Chloe all about the final – including a special goodbye for Marta.

But as Spain head home medal-less, what happened to them? And did this tournament teach us some harsh lessons about player fatigue? Plus, Chloe and Rachel explain why a move to Newcastle could make more sense that it might appear for Nikita Parris and why – yes – Angel City’s announcement video for Katie Zelem didn’t make sense to us either.

How about Mary Earps’ penalty shootout last week, eh! Fittingly, Chloe and Rachel are joined by another keeper this week to look back on it all: former Arsenal, London Bees and Brighton shot-stopper, Sophie Harris!

We reflect on what the Finalissima told us about the Lionesses in what was arguably their toughest test since the final of the Euros, while Sophie gives us the inside story at Brighton and their (third) managerial appointment of the season. 

Plus, we take a deep dive into the world of professional goalkeepers – feat. initiations, the truth of the ‘loner’ stereotype, and how Sophie’s goalkeeper coach dad accidentally improved her competitors!

Just when you thought Chloe Kelly had her defining moment, she wins the Arnold Clark golden boot. Fairytale stuff.

It’s a Girls on the Ball takeover! Rachel is joined by Sophie Downey to discuss an impressive week for England which begs the question: are they the frontrunners to win the whole thing this summer?

We discuss the winning mentality Sarina Wiegman continues to cultivate, whether Alessia Russo is still the squad’s best number nine, and just how good Lauren James is after a ridiculous week. But there’s also a storm brewing across the Atlantic…

It was a tale of two 0-0 draws with one striker at the centre of it all. We discuss how costly missing out on Alessia Russo will prove for Arsenal and Emma and Rachel give us the lowdown on a deadline day like no other. Why were so many players agitating for moves?

How do we grow the game, but also keep up with it? Maggie sheds light on what it’s like to run a Championship women’s team in the new post-Euros boom, the growing financial rift between the second tier and the WSL, and explains why we should look to Mexico for inspiration…

Chloe, Rachel and Crystal Palace’s Leigh Nicol react to the return of the WSL! Leicester come back with a bang, but it took Chelsea 89 minutes to realise it was happening to be honest…

In the second half of the show, Leigh talks us through her ongoing experience of endometriosis, which Leah Williamson recently revealed almost prevented her from playing at the Euros. For Leigh, it’s not only jeopardising her playing career, it’s hampering her day-to-day life. We discuss the difficulties of diagnosis, the lack of awareness around the condition, and how it’s silently but profoundly damaging the lives of elite footballers.

You can find more information on endometriosis at Endometriosis UK.

They catch up with Mark and Prue, two of the founders of the Chelsea Women’s Supporters Group who remember times when there was just four(!) of them turning up at away games.

Join Chloe and Rachel for a slightly different episode this week as we look into the alarming rate of ACL injuries across women’s football and what can be done to help those players affected.

We speak to Dr Emma Ross, a female athlete health specialist, to understand why women are up to six times more likely to suffer an ACL injury than their male counterparts. We’re then joined by Aston Villa midfielder Remi Allen! She’s currently recovering from an ACL injury and gives us a unique insight into the mental and physical hurdles that accompany such a career-threatening setback.

We look over the Lionesses’ win against Japan before focusing on issues of diversity and inclusion within women’s football after Beth Mead’s recent comments. Ceylon talks about a lack of access to opportunities she’s seen through her work with Football Beyond Borders, while Chloe discusses her experiences as a mixed-race player in our still largely inaccessible sport.

We did say, Man United: if you come for the kings, you best not miss. Unfortunately they did, while Chelsea emphatically did not - the Blues' 3-1 win at the weekend reminded us of the difference between title contenders and hopefuls.

Chloe and Rachel are joined by Rachel's wife & GirlsontheBall co-founder Sophie Downey to look over that, a chaotic nine-goal thriller at West Ham and the women's debut of *drumroll*... the Nations League! Confusing rules aplenty!

Chloe, Rachel and Jessy Parker Humphreys head to the studio to discuss the WSL’s first managerial casualty, as Hope Powell leaves Brighton after their poor start. We wonder where it’s all gone wrong and what Brighton can expect next.

We also check in with another cracking Arsenal week - even if Jonas Eidevall has found something to moan about - and we look ahead to this weekend’s seismic clash between Man United and Chelsea! Can United make the jump?

Rachel and Chloe are joined by journalist Jessy Parker-Humphreys to celebrate England's inevitable rise to Champions League glory after Arsenal's crushing win over Lyon. YES WE SAID IT.

Okay, maybe a touch premature. After great weeks for Arsenal and Chelsea, we turn our attention to the NWSL playoffs. We're joined by Jeff Kassouf, founder of The Equalizer and ESPN contributor, to discuss a wild post-season that climaxes this weekend as the Portland Thorns take on Kansas City Current in the final!

Chloe and Rachel are joined by DAZN’s Alex Ibaceta to look over the latest from the WSL and around the continent. Man City’s 4-0 win has garnered little sympathy for boss Gareth Taylor, while West Ham’s win over Aston Villa was overshadowed by some nasty afters!

Elsewhere, we welcome the start of another Beth Mead Revenge Tour after missing out on the Ballon d’Or and we look ahead to the Champions League’s return this week!

For the first time in five and a half years, England beat the USA on Friday night! But was it the game-changing victory it’s being made out to be?

Chloe and Rachel are joined by Jessy Parker Humphreys to discuss an enthralling game that leaves more questions than it does answers. Plus, Wales, Scotland and Ireland decide their World Cup fate tonight.

And while England and USA came together on Friday, Spanish football still struggles to find unity and could be about to spurn one of the greatest crop of women’s internationals ever seen. But, by the way… does anyone know if Alexia Putellas has a nan from Bolton?

Chloe and Rachel reflect on the final weekend of the WSL and discuss the season’s winners and losers.

Did Manchester City bottle it and how can they avoid the same slip-up next season? Will Arsenal’s decision to let Vivianne Miedema go turn the fans against Jonas Eidevall? And what’s the future for managerless Aston Villa and rudderless Brighton? We’ve got (some) of the answers to all those questions on a bumper end-of-season edition!

At last weekend's record-breaking North London derby, Rachel hosted an episode of Upfront alongside Arsenal FC and INMOTION in front of a live audience.

Join her as she sat down with Lucy Monkman - aka Monki - and Arsenal-mad content creator Bella Andrewartha to assess the state of women's football. We reminisce about an incredible summer and dig into ways we can capitalise on the unprecedented momentum now around the women's game without compromising its soul.

Chloe and Rachel are joined by women’s football journalist Jessy Parker Humphreys to look back on the WSL’s opening weekend - and what a bloody weekend it was!

There was no WSL this weekend, but Chloe, Rachel and former Spurs and Watford defender Renee Hector are here to get stuck into a whole host of stories!

They chew over what Keira Walsh’s transfer means for Man City's season, while Rachel tells us about the vibes in Ireland as they stand on the brink of the World Cup.
