I was luckily enough to catch both North East fixtures in the WSL 2 this weekend. You can read my thoughts on Durham vs. Newcastle, Sunderland's game against Portsmouth, and the other four clashes from the second-tier in this week's review!

Birmingham look the real deal tonight. Given how well they, Charlton, and Bristol City have all played (and how poor Liverpool and West Ham are), three promoted teams may be a much more realistic prospect than I initially thought.

The men's team stink, but the women's team are quietly shaping into a very nice team indeed. Wrote about the latest win for Sheffield United Women here, with a stellar performance in midfield from Mollie Rouse: womenofsteel.substack.com/p/md7-united...

So this is interesting! This was posted on the FA's website at the start of October. There's no more recent updates as far as I can see.. 👀

Just giving this a quick bump. Probably the most I've enjoyed writing a piece since starting the newsletter. Any feedback/thoughts appreciated!
I took the opportunity over a relaxed game schedule to write about Becky Langley’s time at Newcastle, the legacy she’s left behind, and what’s next for both her and the club

Hoping to get the Becky Langley piece out over the weekend. Been an annoyingly busy work week so haven’t quite gotten round to it just yet.

Just seen the Becky Langley news. Wow. Think you can guess the newsletter topic this week…

I recognise the situation at Pompey is a bit dire, but if anything illustrates the absolute state the Women's League Cup is in better than this then I'm yet to see it www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/news/2025/oc...

Charlton have been comfortably second best here, but when you’ve got Jodie Hutton there’s always a chance.

Just got home and put the Charlton vs Blades game on and United score immediately. Feel like I should turn it off now for superstitious purposes.

After this weekend we'll be without WSL 2 football for three weeks. The horror! Savour it while you can and get ready for this Sunday's fixtures with this week's preview on my Substack

It's been an incredibly busy few days and I'm also slightly under the weather, so the newsletter will be dropping a little later than usual today. Hoping for around midday if I can sneak away from actual work for 15-20 to finish it, but it could be this evening if not.

I'm assuming Luke Turner will continue to manage the side for the rest of the campaign, but after two straight managerial suspensions for non-footballing reasons this also feels like a great opportunity to hire our first female manager since Carla Ward...
United have confirmed the departure of manager Ash Thompson by mutual consent: www.sufc.co.uk/news/2025/se... Thompson shared this statement on his own Twitter account.
