It's the men's international break. There are no Premier League games, but not a single WSL game has been scheduled for Saturday

Football WSL Chelsea vs Tottenham: Chelsea once again look unstoppable this season. Sonia Bompastor's side are the only unbeaten team after five games in the WSL, although they have been held to back-to-back draws by Man Utd and FC Twente. Spurs look reborn under Martin Ho, and go into the weekend in third place. However, they still have not shown they can beat one of the "big four", being smashed by Man City earlier this season.

It's the men's international break this weekend. There are no Premier League or Championship games in England. However, not a single WSL game has been scheduled for today. No Saturday lunchtime or late afternoon kick-offs. Nothing. It is a huge missed opportunity that shows the WSL and broadcasters have not quite worked out how to manage things. I'm writing this whilst watching Werder Bremen vs Hamburg Women from Germany.

Tōko Koga has rightly received lots of price for her start to life in the WSL. However, Clare Hunt, who has been partnering the Japanese teenager at centre-back, has been a revelation this season. Following...

No, I’m not crying, you are. It’s an amazing deal for Weiss and her co-founders - wife, Nellie Bowles, and sister, Suzy.

It's early October, and that means there are a host of new Apple products to spend your money on. Kelly Guimont returns to the show to discuss why you probably don't need an iPhone 17. Yes, there is a great new camera. The iPhone Air might be of interest to some too, given the new form factor. However, for many people, the upgrades to the Pro and standar models are incremental, not game-changing.

I could tell something was up the moment I met my mum yesterday afternoon. I was going to my parents’ house and then heading to Synagogue for Neilah - the closing service of Yom Kippur. We said hello normally, then she told me about the incident in Manchester. The congregation had been informed during the morning service.

Saturday afternoon was another wonderful moment for women’s sport in England. The country’s Women’s Rugby Team became world champions for the third time. And they did it in front of record numbers. According to the BBC, the Red Roses’ 33-13 victory over Canada was watched by 5.8 million people across TV and streaming.

"Streaming Wars" - my second book - is out this week in the UK! It comes out in the US later this month. In the book, I explores the seismic shifts behind the rise of platforms like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Spotify, Amazon Prime, Paramount and more. From Hollywood's 2023 strikes to the race for sports rights, the growth of ad-supported tiers and the decline of traditional TV, I reveal how streaming has disrupted not only media economics, but also the power structures that define what gets made and who gets seen.
