It's been a while but I'm back with another episode of The CFCW Catch-Up Podcast! This one is more of a casual update because I mostly wanted to weigh in on the discourse surrounding Hannah Hampton and Mary Earps. I had a lot of feelings about it as you'll soon hear!

Another episode of The CFCW Catch-Up is LIVE for your listening pleasure! Join me as I cover Chelsea’s massive victory over West Ham, Sonia Bompastor's evolving tactics, the Chelsea FC Foundation’s new 5 year strategy, and the important advocacy work Lucy Bronze is doing to make the women’s game more sustainable for players.
