    Moment of the year and one of the things listed is an ex footballer winning a bloody dancing show! 

    Hardly helps the narrative about women's football does it

    Nice to see acknowledgement there of the lack of football for WSL2 teams compared with the top teams. It certainly seems both feasible and a good idea to have 6 games in the revamped competition rather than the 3 or 4 currently.

    It'll also be an interesting test case for whether removing the top teams from a competition does any harm to its credibility.

    "The calendar is one of the biggest constraints and challenges, there is only so much space on weekends for us to work with"

    Why can't they play games in midweek? Also the league season is only 22 games so it's not as if they play too many games.

    Academy contracts for young players at Women's Super League (WSL) and WSL2 clubs will be introduced for the first time from the start of the 2026-27 season.

    Current rules prohibit English women's professional teams from contracting a 16-year-old player to a full-time contract.
    This will change from next season, with clubs able to offer players up to a two-year deal. They will not be mandatory, and clubs can continue to offer scholarships to promising young players.

    Found it most amusing the meltdown on X that the WSL early game was on normal Sky and the Pompey v Soton was on Sky+
    🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Going to post this in this thread for now (but might affect us, as promoton is a matter of when not if now):

    Chelsea will play all of their Women's Super League matches at Stamford Bridge from the start of next season.

    It ends a nine-year stay at Kingsmeadow - a Kingston upon Thames ground that has a capacity of 4,850, including 2,265 seats, and is usually sold out.

    Sonia Bompastor's side have been playing selected WSL fixtures at Chelsea's main stadium, and, because of Uefa regulations, all of their Women's Champions League games.

    Kingsmeadow has been the club’s home for almost a decade; it made CFCW the first women’s team to own their own stadium. The beloved stadium will continue to be a part of the CFCW journey, hosting more academy matches from next season and giving the next generation of Blues a place to forge their footballing careers.

    Guessing you know about the 7-0 trashing Arsenal took out on Leicester, will post the Leicester City analysis here (as it could potentially effect the Women Addicks):

    Leicester analysis: Feeble Foxes hit rock bottom but second chance awaits

    Finishing 12th in the WSL usually signals the end of a team's top-flight status, but Leicester City have got a valuable second chance to remain in the division.

    Two games are left to play, but all roads now lead to next month's play-off, where their WSL status will be on the line. With 9 pts they are mathematically in the play-off, unable to catch West Ham who are on 16 pts, with two games left to play.

    The Foxes will have a keen eye on the final day of the WSL 2 (2nd May) to see whether it will be Charlton, Birmingham City or Crystal Palace - separated by just one point at the top of the table - that miss out on an automatic qualification place and become their play-off opponents on 23 May. Whoever it may be - will certainly relish playing a team that has only scored 10 goals all season.

    It will be the first such fixture in the English women's game after WSL Football announced last year that the WSL would expand from 12 to 14 teams for the 2026-26 season.

    On the other end it is still mathematical for Arsenal to win the league. Due to the backlog of the games The Gunners can still battle the Citizens right to the wire.

    "We like to be in a hunting position,"  said Gunners midfielder Frida Maanum "We are in a good position, we want to hunt them [Manchester City] from the back and try to catch them."

    So, can they actually catch City and win the WSL?

    "I don't know," was the humble response from Arsenal boss Renee Slegers. "We have nothing yet so we have to keep on pushing."

    Chelsea can only catch Man City if they loose both their games, and Chelsea win both their games.

    Man City face 2 of the bottom 3 in their last 2 games, so it's hard to see them not winning the league. 

    Incidentally this season Man City are going for a clean sweep of men's, women's, U18 and U21 league titles. They're also in the FA Youth cup final, women's FA cup final and men's FA cup final.

    Please note: A total of 13 WSL games will be played at our north London home across the 2026/27 season, accounting for the additional two teams joining the league next season. 
    The league phase of the UEFA Women’s Champions League and domestic cup fixtures* will continue to be played at long-standing host venue, the Mangata Developments Stadium (Meadow Park) , whilst UWCL knock-out rounds (like this season I am assuming Quarter final beyond) will continue to be played at Emirates Stadium subject to qualification (if they end up in the playoff again I'd estimate this'll be at Meadow Park).

    *- This means Charlton will only be able to play Arsenal at the Emirates if they are promoted to the WSL. Otherwise it would be at  the Mangata Developments Stadium (Meadow Park) if it is in the Cup.

    Arsenal W need a point to go above Chelsea. A win (tonight) wouldn't secure Champions League football (that is already secured) but put them in a good position to secure a group stage CL place (will only need a point vs Liverpool W on the final day this being the case).

    Arsenal moving their WSL games to the Emirates has led to a huge increase in crowds. According to an article in When Saturday Comes a month or so ago, they have an average attendance for WSL1 games that's higher than 9 of the 20 Premier League clubs get.
