Hang on, how did I miss that Everton have been playing either Katie Robinson or Clare Wheeler at right back so far this season?! They've now recalled Issy Hobson to provide "defensive cover". Who's missing? Don't they have another full back? 🤔

New episode 🚨 Previewing this weekend's BIG fixtures 🤯 🧠 Do Chelsea have a psychological hold on the league? 🔫 What's going on with Arsenal? 👹 Can United be the ones to stop Chelsea? Listen here and wherever you get your podcasts 👇🏻

Always take player ratings with a pinch of salt but this one passed the eye test for me - our midfield maestro the best rated player in the league for this game week. 🦊 Sam Tierney GW4 stats: 🥅 1 goal ↗️ 3/3 accurate long balls 💪🏻 13/18 ground duels won ❌ 3 interceptions ⚽ 6 SCAs 🔄 7 recoveries

Reffing was shocking today.

Very worrying signs for West Ham. Just 6 months ago they were able to go to Kings Meadow and get a point. Barely laid a glove on Chelsea at home today and that's not even mentioning the complete and utter defensive collapse and lack of control in the first half.

Oh dear oh dear

Dear oh dear

Couldn't do anything about the first goal obviously but that's such a poor goal to concede. Two players fail to deal with Kaptein, absolutely no one picking up JRK.

Wow that was a bit special from Aggie 😤

Rather lose like that when we're well in it until the last second than return to previous form of switching off at the end of games. Bit of sloppiness on the goals but we've only started the same backline twice. Some brilliant work on the ball, quality goes up in attack with #8 and #9 on the pitch.

Too many old habits creeping in for Arsenal there for me. Far too complacent in attack. Fair play to Villa for staying in it. Could have had all 3 points if not for the early error.

Kim Little looks absolutely unplayable at the moment, brilliant start to the season

You mean they DIDN'T want it to look like the headquarters of the Galactic Empire?!

If a player in the women's game did something even half as brainless as this, we wouldn't be trying to make sense of it, they'd be absolutely ripped to shreds. Completely different standards - women aren't allowed to have egos, and they're expected to keep their emotions in check at all times.

New episode 👇🏻 After an emotional weekend in the women's game, did our best to pay tribute to Matt Beard. We then got into highlighting some standout performances with a rare WAS TOTW 🌟 Listen here and wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧

For all of the headloss on my feed last night, best one has to be the actual Arsenal fan who confidently proclaimed that Leah Williamson had captained both the UWCL and Euros finals.

It's funny that the main criticism of the Ballon d'Or Feminin is that the panel don't watch football outside of Europe, when it appears they don't watch football in Europe either

Lol

ranking the footballers from 1-10 again are they

I couldn't give two hoots who wins the Ballon d'Or because Janice Cayman will most likely never win it and yesterday I watched her pocket Alyssa Thompson and Maika Hamano whilst playing in the 10th position we've asked her to play in

Genuinely what is Skinner looking at on that iPad?

Very encouraging that. Think we deserved at least a point, final ball just wasn't there. That can be fixed when Rantala and Mouchon can play more minutes. We looked sharp and composed, completely different team than against United. Good signs 🦊

Comms tying themselves in knots to explain why Chelsea haven't scored again in this game, even going so far as to suggest they're doing it on purpose so as "not to peak too soon" because of the Champions League, rather than just talk about how we're playing well

Janina Leitzig is the best goalkeeper in the world probably

What a stop that is Jani, you absolute beauty

Matt was a lovely bloke who really cared about his players, I don't know anyone who covered women's football in England who's ever had a bad word to say about him. Women's football is poorer for his passing.

Hard to know what to say, jesus christ. Thoughts with his family and loved ones of course. Rip.

Wanted PSG to do some mad shit tonight, what's happened to that Putellas money?!

I'm feeling quite salty about Everton for obvious reasons so I'm afraid I'm finding this quite funny

Fujino's good though eh

What are Kang FC up to? Changed their defence and shape again. Surely the answer to being more solid and consistent is not just changing it up every week. All feels a bit chaotic.

Why did they buy her 🙃

I'm increasingly finding that when you don't want to buy something from a company they won't leave you alone, and when you actually do, you can't get bloody hold of them

Holy shit

Back in the studio with Zoe McGrady from 6 this evening chatting about the win at the weekend 🦊 Listen live 👇🏻

As an addendum to this, I listened to @girlsontheball.bsky.social earlier and I think they're the gold standard for covering every team in as much detail as they can. And they're very much in my good books generally as they had two Leicester players in their TOTW 👌🏻

Lack of attention to reporting and opining on teams outside of the top 4, (particularly Leicester) proper boils my noggin.

STOP THE COUNT

Look at my super serious celebration face.

I'm feeling quite salty about Everton for obvious reasons so I'm afraid I'm finding this quite funny

Hahaha wtf

A laughable amount of time and space for EvE but that ball from Janice is exceptional. An absolute legend.

How?! 🤣🤣🤣

Haven't even got the energy to hope Villa fail any more, just really want them to beat Chelsea

Well I think it's safe to say us and Liverpool are the worst teams in the WSL
