There are some comments saying that players' body types or weight shouldn't be discussed - but in professional sport where athletic ability is essential then it is clearly a valid topic. Some players may need to bulk up, others may need to trim down a little to be at their best on the field - this is true in all sports for both men and women. As long as it's done in a respectful way, it is a legitimate topic of discussion.

On behalf of the Arsenal fans in sound mind... I'm sorry about 'those one's'. They make us all cringe 😬🤐 Great to hear your chatter and much love for Clare Balding and Fara 🙂

[sarahcuthbert]

Absolutely brilliant as always ladies, the guests are so good and so passionate about the women’s game, you love to see it ❤

[alansmithee]

Her of ello Shebahn and Ruesha. Great guests, but the concentration on how things were in women's football seems to be a theme that is in danger of holding Arsenal back from what they could be and England back from how good they might be in a couple of years if they keep new players coming into the squad. I am more interested in seeing how Grace Clinton and Jess Park will do than how Jill Scott, who we all thought was great, would have done, for example. Interesting that the Manchester teams seem to be the ones looking to bring youth on. More should be made of the under 17s getting to a World Cup quarter final in their age group. If anyone reading this has not checked Farra's YouTube channel, I recommend it.

Another great show, really enjoying the different guests!

I would like to see Carla Ward managing Arsenal for the season

[kellydipierro]

This was your best one yet. Great show lads. Well done. Ye are such a skit ❤

[ashoriordan]

I love Shebahn and Ruesha. Absolute legends. However, nobody's (man or woman) body should be a topic of conversation, whether it is in relation to sport or not. In one section of the podcast, you all seemed to be agreeing with this sentiment, and yet in the other alessia russo's body was criticised in relation to her performance. She has bravely spoken about her struggles with disordered eating. C'mon lads, young ones are watching. It is nobody's place to say how her body should look. Shocking tbh

[sophienicholas]

I don’t think we should be talking about people’s body build and weight like that. It’s quite frankly disgusting. Especially when lessi has been so open about her past troubles with food. Be careful with what you say. It could really affect someone. She’s getting enough stick as it is so back off her. I love alessia Russo and I stand with her. ❤

Great guest in Farah

Also Claire Baulding, proper national treasure

[LindaReside-ggsc]

I agree they shouldnt be discussing players weight or what they look like, they did that to fran kirby and she nearly had a breakdown, as long as they play well on the pitch what does it matter what they look like

I agree, another great show!! From what I have read, not sure if it is correct, but it was said that Casey Stoney is to much defensive minded. 🤷‍♀️ it seems as though that is what is needed right now!

[bethlusby]

Don’t think we should be talking about other players weight

[CC]

Great show. Rue please become a manager- would love to see you in that role. The press interviews would be classic🤣

[ashoriordan]

I've never heard male pundits saying that salah needs to put on a few pounds when he's on a run of poor form

[JoFloss]

Claire Wheatley - that’s why not - Casey Stoney. Just imho. She is the big problem at Arsenal.

[heldemel]

Stoney got sacked for a winless streak at San Diego Wave - why would Arsenal want her? Jonas left for less than that.🤔

[erictaylor]

Mary Earps is no longer first choice 😂

[erictaylor]

Ruesha as a professional footballer cut out the alcohol.
