Arsenal won the FA Women’s Super League last weekend, with two Irish players in the vanguard – Katie McCabe got a goal in the win that sealed the championship, and Louise Quinn was a totemic presence at the back, playing with a style and finesse that drew massive praise from her manager in the aftermath.

 

Louise speaks to us today about developing your game throughout your career, and not accepting your limitations – and she also tells us about the fortnight two years ago when her new club Notts County disbanded, at the same time the Irish women’s team went on strike for better conditions.

We ask her what the situation with the FAI is like now, and what it’s been like watching the shenanigans unfold in recent weeks.


Plus Spurs face a test of their strength in depth against Ajax tonight.

There’s also Murph and Eoin’s excellent adventure, Electric Mike gets torn a new one, our littlest hobo discusses Tehran’s drainage and Sydney’s topography and ahead of the Euro under 17’s we ask “C’est Troy bien?”
