Why Always She? - A Women’s Football Podcast

Charli and Matt finally indulge themselves in a (even more so than usual) chill and free flowing chat about Leicester and their 24/25 season. Foxes fans; this one's for you especially, but everyone else is more than welcome to listen in and learn more about this season's perennial underdogs.

The Why Always She podcast: the only place to get your long, rambling "Other 8" content. This week Charli and Matt do a bumper end-of-season(ish) review of the triumphs, trials and tribulations of the teams outside of the big 4; from soaring Seagulls to *sigh* flagging Foxes. 

50 up! Thank you to everyone who has listened, followed and supported the podcast so far. 
 
Charli and Matt renege on their promises and rather than the special episode they had planned, just deep dive into the events of the weekend. But there's plenty of excitement to talk about with Arsenal shocking Lyon and Chelsea just being plain shocking in the UWCL. Back in the WSL there's heartbreak for Palace, but is there hope for City?
 
Do keep an eye out for the postponed 50th episode celebration, coming to ears near you soon(ish). 

Charli and Matt dissect the two Champions League Semi-finals from the weekend: a good showing from Arsenal against Lyon and a bit of a capitulation from Chelsea against Barcelona. What went wrong, what went right, and can both English teams turn the ties around? 

This week, Charli and Matt use the FA Cup semi-finals as a backdrop to discuss: where Manchester United and Chelsea go from here. For United - was giving Skinner a new contract the right decision? What's gone well this season and what do they need to do next season to push on? For Chelsea - are they really "unconvincing", or have they proven they can get it done no matter what?

Matt and Charli pick their winners and losers from a whirlwind week in women's football. Teams, players, leagues, concepts: everyone's getting a shout-out, good and bad. Spoiler alert: Leicester may or may not be one of the winners. What did you expect? 

This week Charli and Matt recap the Subway Women's League Cup Final and ask what should Chelsea and City change - if anything - heading into their Champions League clash on Wednesday?
They also get into the weekend's events from the WSL and what it means for teams at the top and bottom of the table. Can Man United course-correct after a disappointing performance? Can Arsenal exact revenge on Liverpool? Are Villa in serious trouble now? 

This week Matt and Charli kick off with a review of the weekend's FA cup games. They then do their best to preview the upcoming NWSL season - giving WSL fans and fans from across Europe a taste of what to expect from our footballing (soccering?) cousins across the pond, and reasons you should give it a chance instead of arguing on the internet about which league is the best. Players you might have heard of, teams to look out for, key differences to note.

Strap in for a long ramble as Charli and Matt discuss the controversial proposal to scrap relegation from the WSL. What can we hope to achieve by doing this? Will it make the league more competitive? Later on they discuss whether Chelsea can get through their March of Madness to seal their 6th title in a row - or is there a dark horse in our midst?

Charli and Matt discuss England's important Nation's League win over Spain at Wembley, as well as Japan ending Emma Hayes' unbeaten run at the helm of the USWNT in the SheBelieves Cup. The team then get into Barclay's manager chat - did Matt Beard and Laura Kaminski deserve to get the sack? What does it mean for Liverpool and Palace for the rest of the season?
