  • Jess Clarke

    Love hearing from Jess. She was one of my favourites when I first started following women’s football. Being a Leeds supporter myself it was quite easy.

  • the bare minimum

    this show does the absolute bare minimum and not one thing more than that. guests are honestly seemingly based off just friendships and vibes rather than actual expertise. they should call it the WSL show because it’s the only league the hosts are remotely qualified to talk about. their flippant comments about other leagues outside the UK is truly pathetic and like i said, the bare minimum qualities to be called Women’s football weekly.

  • Keep Shebahn! She’s great!

    Shebahn has been fantastic I hope to hear her going forward (if not here somewhere). The best are are jabs at Katie and her sister. Hilarious.
