    Derby draws, European nights and how’s it going gaffer?
    Nov 19 2025
    Nikita and Jordan are back and this week we discuss hard fought derbies, nights under the lights in Europe and is there a ‘right way’ to challenge your manager?

    Before getting into this week's topics, we take a quick look at the latest England squad for upcoming friendlies and Keets shows all the love for London City teammate Freya Godfrey who receives her first ever senior Lionesses call-up!

A loss for Manchester United and a draw for Chelsea and Arsenal at the weekend sees Manchester City go three points clear at the top of the WSL… are we seeing the teams in Europe start to fatigue? Finally, the duo debate when they think it is right to challenge a manager's decision and what is the best way to communicate with them.

  • Game changer: Putting the pros in charge of football!

    Game changer: Putting the pros in charge of football!
    Oct 29 2025
    This week we're switching it up... Jordan and Keets are pitching to the pod with their suggestions on one thing they'd change about football IF they ran the game...

    The pair look at how we bridge the gap between the WSL and WSL2 and how the quality of coaching across the football pyramid will help minimise the jump between the leagues. Friends of the podcast Courtney Sweetman-Kirk and Sue Smith also send in their suggestions as the pair debate if we need goal-line technology in the WSL and what more can we do to lower the amount of ACL related injuries?
