We're back! It's been a while, but we have plenty to discuss in whether this is the prem's most boring season in ages, the UWCL final (and if Arsenal has a chance) and the absolute meltdown we've seen Real Madrid have in

We discuss the state of the premier league about 2/3's done, who's defintely going down, will arsenal catch liverpool with their recent stumbles? And how much does a city fan actually care about going out of the champion

Arsenal v Man City (mens and womens) reactions! Some other stuff too.

City and Arsenal chat per usual. Lots happening in WOSO, and with the end of the first year of the UCL's new "league" phase, we try to sort out if it fixed a problem, made one worse, or did nothing at all really.

City is meh, Arsenal is a little less meh but still meh. We talk about some transfers, Naomi Girma, and Katya makes a case for City fans to co-opt a Philadelphia Sports song

neither of us are ending 2024 on quite the footballing note we hoped we would, but don't worry, our teams being (maybe??) bad doesn't stop the good vibes! 2024's womens soccer retirements, the sad state of city and the s

the prem's latest, Katya's trip to the Etihad, and the continual woes of Mbappe at Madrid

A very stream of consciousness discussion on the troubles at real madrid, man city and arsenal, the success at barca, and the womens game more generally.

The prem did some stuff! Also Real Madrid made it their goal to be extremely embarrassing all weekend and they succeeded!! Also!! Rodri!!! is the Ballon Dor Winner!!!! Football wins.

A few weeks off and now we're back! The latest in the prem, the WSL, and the new UCL format continues to raise questions.

City and Arsenal both men and women played this week! We are still friends somehow! Plus: Barca's hot streak, Rodri's injury and more.

UCL is back! And worse than ever!! Plus - latest in the premier league, and will the players eventually go on strike over fixture congestion??

Prem week 3! Also the ballon d'or snubs (many). Alex Morgan also retired but she announced it after we recorded so we know but it'll be discussed next episode lol.

the usual nonsense! Prem recaps - week 1 of the bundesliga + misc news from around the footy world.

A week late but the big Premier League Preview is here. 20 pages of research and a big long episode - we talk all 20 teams in the premier league, who they brought in, who they left out, and what we think their season is

Miedema's at City, Macario is out of the Olympics, and Berhlater is (finally) out at the USMNT. PLUS: Copa and Euro Quarters and Semis - and a preview of the respective finals

Everything that's happened in June! (and the first 3 days of July) Copa America and Euro 2024 group stage and round of 16 conclusions: where the USMNT went wrong, can England can make the most of their talent? Plus: Late

Vivienne Miedema is leaving Arsenal! That and we are down to the wire in England - the usual.

We're back! A planned hiatus and we're back just in time for the last gasp of the run in. We're covering the proposed salary cap in the prem, the UCL semi's and the upcoming final, and of course, the state of the title r

**publishing error delayed - episode recorded 2/29** the usual - England's latest on both mens and womens. The UCL, womens international tourney's (UEFA Nations Leage, W Gold Cup) and plenty of opinions to go around
