Head over to @allforwofo.bsky.social for a round-up of the season’s happenings so far in the lower leagues of women’s football.

🗣️ “It just made me question everything and what I did wrong for being me." I spoke to Man United's Saf Middleton-Patel about her experiences of autism in football, on feeling excluded, the challenges and finding support. 👇 t.co/RD91JVri1y

Safia Middleton-Patel has been dropped and singled out by former clubs all because she is autistic. After making her Manchester United debut last week, she explains why she continues to advocate on a topic that remains taboo. 👇 shesaballer.co.uk/manchester-u...

Very truly and utterly one club. #Arsenal

Well, Champions League nights against Bayern in north London certainly never disappoint…

Huge from Slegers, certainly proved herself worthy of a contract tonight if she hadn’t done so already.

Storm Darragh has to put to bed plans to watch Forest Vs Burnley in the FA Cup so the Sunday setup is a bit cosier…

Here we gooo…

I would like a goal back for Ireland here just for a real box office finish.

This is starting soon…

🚨 LIVE @ 8.30pm for a EURO qualifiers & int'l break round-up! 🍀Littlejohn's worldie keeps Ireland level ❌ Scoreless for Scotland 🦁 Lionesses draw v USWNT Featuring @laurahoward.bsky.social, @libertysimons.bsky.social, Gina Bagnulo and Conner Roberts. Join here: www.youtube.com/live/9q6vNFa....

I wrote a piece for Sports Politika on the stunning silence in women's football on attacks and deaths of fellow footballers in Palestine and in Lebanon. www.sportspolitika.news/p/women-foot...

It might not have been the most dazzling display but in many ways very nice to see Arsenal grinding out wins. Something we’ve lacked in recent months but ever so important for any side with trophy aspirations.

Hurtig cult hero status inching ever closer with every match…

Lina certainly making up for that earlier miss. Brilliant to see her get moments like this and shows what she brings being in those areas since coming on.

🆕 to Bluesky? Here’s a Starter Pack of accounts related to #sports #football #LGBTQ #media Do give us a shout if you think the Pack needs additions or other tweaks!

Given the size/relative stability/money in the men’s game, it feels like a foil to be cutthroat in woso; ‘it’s a business, you’ve got to do what it takes to succeed’ etc. But you *can* be successful whilst fostering a healthy and human environment,

The silence on this is wretched. Every single player and national team should be asking about this and demanding answers from FIFA and UEFA. h/t @leylahamed.bsky.social

For those who don’t know Rylee Foster’s story…

This piece is such a brilliant insight into the mindset of top class athletes and, of course, Olivia Smith certainly seems to be one of those. She’s been so impressive so far this season and reading this really does get you excited for the future.

I’ve created a starter pack for reliable women’s football journalists ⭐️ Will be updating the list regularly ⬇️ go.bsky.app/EMHmtbd

Interesting piece. Similar problems in cricket - the 1% are now earning absolutely eye-watering amounts whilst Tier 2 is essentially amateur.

“Women’s football must push now rather than later for investment that is spread across the tiers.” I laid out my thoughts on the increasing disparity between top earners in women’s football compared to ‘the rest’. ⤵️ shesaballer.co.uk/lucy-bronze-...

St.Pauli become the first Bundesliga club to leave Twitter. t.co/f2m7cwOAfo

“The 1% probably can retire after football.” Lucy Bronze sparked misguided backlash this week over wages in women’s football. But her comments do reveal a more pressing problem on the growing inequality within the game. My thoughts for She’s A Baller. 👇 shesaballer.co.uk/lucy-bronze-...

Ahead of a hoped X exit, setting up on here For a taste of what I do, here’s today’s chat with Charlie Austin, the first newspaper interview with a Premier League player about their ADHD 🧠 Great on football’s neurodiversity crisis and his diagnosis making him better inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Went into the the theatre, put my phone on do not disturb, come out and Arsenal have won 5-0 against Brighton and Lina Hurtig is back on the scoresheet. Feel like I’m in some kind of dream. Going to go to the theatre more often I think.

EXCLUSIVE: “I’ve got to fight for my life rather than my career.” ✍️ It was a privilege to speak to Rylee Foster about her recovery from the car crash, her enduring resilience, and how she continues to live with a new reality for She’s A Baller. shesaballer.co.uk/rylee-foster...
