This result is even more fascinating given rivals Sunderland, with fewer resources & a MUCH lower transfer budget, held Birmingham to a draw last week.

Watching Erling Haaland in full flow is like watching a new species. Like the next stage of football evolution. He just left two of the best defenders in Europe for dead in a 50 yard sprint.

Katie Reid is Arsenal's new shining star. 18 years old at centreback & casually holding the Man United attack in her back pocket for 90 minutes. What a talent.

Also...Man United playing for a 0-0 draw at home vs Arsenal is a measure of Marc Skinner football & ambition. Chelsea will have watched that game today & seen nothing to unduly worry them in either team.

We at Absolute Football Podcast have been shortlisted again. TWICE! - Best In Non-League (absolutely DELIGHTED for ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣 💙⚽️ and her team cause it only began in May!) - Best Content Creator (for all our shows as a whole) Can't describe the honour of being part of this bunch. :)

Kerstin Casparij is a wonderful human. Also, receiving threats & bigoted messages after supporting trans rights is a bad look for women's football. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/whats…

The Ballon d'Or women's shortlist containing no players of colour, none from outside Europe, three clubs & only two leagues is qwhite interesting. Not a good way to claim woso acknowledges all performances equally....

Chloe Kelly has a legit chance of winning the Ballon d'Or, supposedly the most prestigious individual award in football, for a combined 7 games, none of which she started in & it's gonna be hilarious.

Ant, Danny and I are live with a look-back on the weekend in what is sure to be an emotional show, discussing the weekend and paying tribute to Matt Beard. Come join us!

We're finishing off our show with a heartfelt tribute to #lfcwomen legend, and titan of women's football Matt Beard now. Please come join us.

A slightly more sombre Absolute Football Podcast Women's Football Show than usual....but wonderful to chat with Danny Brothers and ant waterson All three of us nearly broke at the end with Ant's reading of You'll Never Walk Alone for Matt Beard. RIP, Beardy. We'll miss you. Thank you.

Incredibly tough podcast this evening to end with our tributes to Matt Beard and a chat on mental health. Here’s to all our important safe spaces where we can process things like this 💚 DMs open as ever to anyone struggling or in need of a chat x

Good on you, Spurs.

Last post tonight - just know if you are a racist, misogynist or homo/transphobe and you pull that stuff near me on here or at a football match, I will do everything in my power to make sure you're found, ejected and banned/punished. No peace for bigots. Ever.

Second manager in succession suspended by the club then "parting ways" after a review. The Blades are rotten at the top & how long is this going to be allowed to go on for?

Lots to discuss this evening! WSL & WSL2 review & the first managerial casualty of the season at Sheffield United...what is wrong at the Blades? Join us at 8:30!
