    Derby draws, European nights and how’s it going gaffer?
    Nov 19 2025
    Nikita and Jordan are back and this week we discuss hard fought derbies, nights under the lights in Europe and is there a ‘right way’ to challenge your manager?

    Before getting into this week's topics, we take a quick look at the latest England squad for upcoming friendlies and Keets shows all the love for London City teammate Freya Godfrey who receives her first ever senior Lionesses call-up!

    After a goalless North London derby and a solid 3-1 win for Jordan’s Newcastle in the Tyne-Wear derby, the pair discuss how you manage emotions when it comes to big games. A loss for Manchester United and a draw for Chelsea and Arsenal at the weekend sees Manchester City go three points clear at the top of the WSL… are we seeing the teams in Europe start to fatigue? Finally, the duo debate when they think it is right to challenge a manager's decision and what is the best way to communicate with them.

    Finally, Jordan is in for a big surprise as she is joined by this week's mystery guest... Arsenal superstar and Irish legend...who could it quite possibly be?

    Game changer: Putting the pros in charge of football!
    Oct 29 2025
    This week we're switching it up... Jordan and Keets are pitching to the pod with their suggestions on one thing they'd change about football IF they ran the game...

    The pair look at how we bridge the gap between the WSL and WSL2 and how the quality of coaching across the football pyramid will help minimise the jump between the leagues. Friends of the podcast Courtney Sweetman-Kirk and Sue Smith also send in their suggestions as the pair debate if we need goal-line technology in the WSL and what more can we do to lower the amount of ACL related injuries?

  • Rotation, rotation, rotation!

    Rotation, rotation, rotation!
    Oct 15 2025
    Caroline Barker is joined by Jordan Nobbs and Nikita Parris as they chat all things settling in, rotating and retirement!

    The pair give an update on how life’s been since joining their new clubs and embedding into their new teams. Nikita opens up on how hard it was for her when she moved to Lyon and how she looks to use her experiences moving abroad to help new players like Grace Geyoro settle in.

    Squad rotation is sometimes seen as an ‘uncomfortable’ subject and Jordan and Keets look at which players are more likely to be impacted by rotation and exactly why managers shake up squads to help with injury and form. They finish off reflecting on their England memories with Millie Bright as she announces her international retirement and analyse why Sarina will be starting Maya le Tissier in right back for England.
