Just a reminder that if you value good journalism and particularly women’s football coverage, please engage with it on our BBC platforms. I work with incredibly talented colleagues. 👍🏻

Long read: Lucy Bronze - the making of England's most decorated player. 🌟
Loved writing this, working with @KatiegBBC again, to tell the story of Bronze’s football journey from those who know her, played with her and coached her. 🏴 ✍🏻👇🏻

🗣️ "What I did was awful, but I’m willing to make amends.”
📚 Alan Bush, our Fan Education manager, spoke to the BBC about how our restorative justice education programme helps supporters learn from times where they have discriminated against someone.
‼️ In this case, a lifelong football fan reflects on an incident in which he was homophobic at a football match.

England midfielder Ella Toone says the calf injury that ruled her out for two months was a "blessing in disguise" as it helped her realise she was putting too much pressure on herself.

Some really interesting insight from FC Como Women from @KatiegBBC & @SarahDawkins23 who went out there to meet the investors who are pumping money into women's football.
"A lot of magic happens when the women's team becomes a priority."

Top ex-rugby referee Wayne Barnes tells me social media trolls must face possible prosecution after he & his family were subject to “vile abuse” & “threats” following World Cup final.

From Stadium Australia to the Stadium of Light… Just over a month after the World Cup final, the Lionesses are back in business.
Delightful little reunion with this legend too @KatiegBBC

Fwiw, this has not been an enjoyable story to cover. As journalists we have a responsibility to report news and 20 players questioning the security of their livelihoods is not something we should sweep under the carpet. I wish the club well and I'm sure things will improve soon.
🚨 BBC Sport has seen an email signed by all 20 players from London City Lionesses in June that urged owner Diane Culligan to seek new investors or a buyer, saying the club's "very existence" is under threat. ✍️👇

Very interesting discussion. Man Utd’s Francesca Whitfield calls for “some form of financial regulation” to have caps on transfer fees and wage structures in the WSL. Says the amount being spent to chase clubs at the top is “rising each year”. #mufc

England's Rachel Daly says she has "found her happy place" after a successful season at Aston Villa on her WSL return. ✍🏻👇🏻
