It feels like a lifetime since we last enjoyed club football. Forgotten what was going on? Don’t worry. Give us ten minutes and we’ll bring you right up to speed. 

We look at how Manchester City and Arsenal joined Chelsea in the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals.

James Twomey joins us to discuss another injury setback for England and Chelsea defencer Reece James.

And there’s just about enough time for another Impromptu International Week Book Club. Today it’s ‘Go To War’ Jon Spurling’s brilliant tale of football in the 1980s which you can find here

Did you know that The Athletic was giving Bluesky a go? Some of our best writers have moved there and I’ve cracked and followed them over. You can find me on the link below and hopefully the place will stay nice for at least a week or so.
