Something else I think that needs to be looked at is the way Arsenal handle their loan players. Both Maddy Earl and Naomi Williams are hardly touching the pitch for Ipswich and Bristol City, and Laila Harbert’s time at Portland raises a few questions.

The only thing Neuer should be complaining about is his moustache

WSL Football has been asked for the footage from their Women’s League Cup QF & SF draw due to concerns over the process after a ball was dropped then picked up again. Took place on TikTok. Believe they have also apologised to Spurs over a comment made. Full story 👇🏻 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

As climate change shifts the conditions in which we live, it would be naïve to think sport won’t be affected. It already is — and for women’s sport in particular, the challenges are two‑fold. ✍️ for The New Women’s Sport Magazine thenewwomenssportmagazine.com/playing-thro...
