    Champions League preview & new female coaching rule

    24/03/2026 | 38 mins.
    Ben Haines, Ellen White and Jen Beattie discuss the Champions League quarter-finals with Arsenal and Chelsea coming up against each other in Europe for the very first time. Ellen goes into why it's so important to go into the second leg ahead and why the first may be a cagey affair.
    Jen and Ellen discuss Alessia Russo's best position and why Jen thinks Renee Slegers is so good at managing her squad. Manchester United face a tough side in Bayern Munich who are unbeaten in the league this season, plus United have the Manchester derby to manage in between the two legs.
    Ellen and Jen give their opinion after it was announced every team in FIFA's women's football tournaments must include at least one female head coach or assistant coach. Will the support and funding be in place for female coaches to get their coaching qualifications?

    22/03/2026 | 26 mins.
    Ellen White is down at Belvoir Drive, the home of Leicester City Women, for a special edition of the podcast ahead of a crucial end of season run-in for the club.
    Ellen is reunited with her old gaffer, Rick Passmoor, to chat 'unfinished business' in the WSL and how he hopes the experience of his five January signings can help the club on and off the pitch as they battle to avoid the bottom spot come the end of the season.
    Plus, Ellen sits down with Alisha Lehmann, one of the most recognisable and widely followed figures in women's football, to discuss the misconceptions around her, why she was so keen on a move back to the WSL and reflect on the impact last summer's Euros is starting to have in Switzerland.
