Clo and Rach are back in the studio after a frustrating weekend of Champions League football for both Arsenal and Chelsea.
Can either of them turn it around in the second legs? Clo reckons itâs close to impossible for Chelsea, but Rach has cooked up a strategy that might just work. Letâs just say the word âTetrisâ springs to mindâŠ
Elsewhere, all this European drama has distracted us from a spicy WSL weekend, which saw Tottenham come so close to picking up their first league win since January. Why are they having such a weird season after showing such promise last year? And is Robert Vilahamn really in trouble? Clo and Rach get stuck into just that.

Rach is here with a very special episode all the way from Canada, jetting over there for the launch of the brand-new Northern Super League!
Ahead of the historic opening match between Calgary Wild and Vancouver Rise last night, she found time to sit down with Calgaryâs head coach and former Leicester City manager, Lydia Bedford.
Lydia opens up about the challenges of relocating to a new country - during such a difficult time in her personal life - and shares the powerful way she managed to gel her squad in just a matter of weeks.
And more importantly, Lydia reveals how she and her dog Baxter have been adapting to life in Canada! It involves some tabogganing...
After that, we hear from Canadian sports journalist and friend of the pod Har Johal who joins Rach to react to this first-ever NSL match and explain what this brand-new league really means for Canada Soccer. Come and join us!

Michelle Agyemang⊠WOW. Just wow. She had a night she will never forget, but England suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat in Belgium. Rach can hear the alarm bells ringing already - but donât panic, her and Chloe are very much on hand to bring the calm thatâs needed in this special post-match reaction pod!

The Lionesses put in a five star performance against Belgium on Friday⊠this obviously means theyâre going to win the Euros now, right?! Rach reveals the player that impressed her the most while Clo tries to work out - once and for all - whoâs starting in goal at the Euros.
We also turn our attention to Ireland - who put four past Greece - and then to Wales, who Clo reckons are like the Crystal Palace of the WSL. Plus, are Scotland out of their depth in League A? And how can Northern Ireland be more consistent?
Oh, and then we address the biggest news of all⊠the 2035 World Cup looks like itâs coming to the UK!! But wait a second, Manchester Unitedâs new stadium could be part of the tournament? Er, what? Manchester United?

For over a decade, Adrian Jacob has helped shape Chelsea into one of the most successful and dominant teams in the game. Today, he sits down with Rach to take us inside that journey - from what it was like working with Emma Hayes to some of the clubâs biggest moments. He also gives his take on accusations that Chelsea have âspentâ their way to success and explains why itâs up to other clubs to catch up.
But Adrianâs next project is just as ambitious: World Sevens Football - the new, womenâs seven-a-side tournament launching next month. He breaks down what his role as Head of Football actually involves, explains why this competition could be a game changer, and addresses concerns about its potential impact on player loading, calendar congestion and whether it could widen financial gaps in the game.

Itâs April Foolâs Day! Which means Clo obviously had to play a (not so) little joke on RachâŠ
Once Rach has finally recovered, we dive into Aston Villaâs massive comeback against Liverpool. Does this win mean Villa are safe from relegation? And is a fifth-place finish for Liverpool this season still achievable?
Elsewhere, West Ham nicking a point against Chelsea - at Kingsmeadow - wasnât on our bingo cards, but we are HERE for it! Clo and Rach give West Hamâs Shekiera Martinez her very well-earned flowers.

Chloeâs travelled down to East Dulwich to catch up with none other than Mary Phillip! Mary walks us through her hugely successful England days, from the âsurrealâ moment she got called-up, to being roommates with another England icon, Rachel Yankey.

Now making history with Peckham Town in the menâs game, Mary discusses the lack of diversity amongst female coaches, shares the challenges sheâs faced in her coaching career and explains what it meant to become the first female manager to win silverware in the menâs game.

Chloeâs back from Miami and joins Rach in the studio - sadly with no piña colada in hand - to break down Englandâs underwhelming, but not disastrous, 1-1 draw against Portugal in their Nations League opener.
Elsewhere, Carla Ward got her first - albeit scrappy - win with Ireland so Rach is of course buzzing about that, and then we look to Scotland who didnât quite kickstart their new era in the same fashion.
Plus, just last week, Luis Rubiales was convicted of sexual assault for kissing Jenni Hermoso after the 2023 World Cup final without her consent. We unpack why that case and all the publicity around Hermoso points to much wider societal issues.

Weâd like to start by thanking Mary Fowler for saving us all - but especially one very cold Rach - from extra-time against Arsenal last week. Her and Clo react to Man City getting through to the League Cup final to face, you guessed it⊠Chelsea!
Elsewhere, the FA Cup delivered some serious squeaky bum time moments this weekend and we also give our thoughts on whether âB Teamsâ in the lower tiers are actually a good idea.
Plus, Sazzy Weegs has announced her England squad for the Nations League games later this month, and of course people are talking about Chloe Kelly being âdroppedâ. We're here to throw water on that fire and revel in Keets getting her call-up!
