Premier League, Lionesses and More: What to Watch This Weekend, 29th-30th November
Premier League Arsenal vs Chelsea: First plays second in what could be, if not a title-decider, then a crucial match in the fight for the Premier League. Players are returning for the Gunners, although Gabriel is still a significant absentee. It has not stopped them blowing away Spurs and Bayern Munich in the last few days. The Blues have gone a bit under the radar, but suddenly find themselves right at the top, as other challengers slip away.

WSL Viewing Figures Cause Concern
There is growing concern about the WSL TV viewing figures. Per Matt Hughes at The Guardian, meagre 55,900 tuned in to watch Arsenal vs Chelsea on Sky Sports Main Event on Saturday, 8th November. That’s fewer people than were actually in the Emirates Stadium. Viewership on Sky Sports Premier League took the total viewership, monitored by BARB, to 71,000. Sky, it’s worth pointing out, judges viewership over the 90 minutes.

Had an interesting chat with @thenewfeminist.bsky.social about my book Streaming Wars. In particular, we talked about Twitch/live streaming and the problems of homophobia, sexism and racism:

A leading tech journalist warns that Twitch’s growth is exposing how little the platform shields its female creators
As the gaming industry booms, platforms like Twitch are rife with misogyny, racism and homophobia - offline prejudice fuels online abuse.

Good grief. This is desperate stuff from No. 10.
Scoop: Labour MPs are being offered tours of 10 Downing Street as Keir Starmer seeks to repair relations with his backbenchers.

One MP said: "I did wonder if it was a ploy to learn the names of the Parliamentary Labour Party."

TNT Sports has battled to get these away Ashes series. The questions remains whether or not it will be able to deliver.
Can TNT Sports Win The Ashes?
I remember being in bed at university with the radio on as the 2006/2007 Ashes series got underway. As I lay there in the dark, the Test Match Special team described Steve Harmison bowling *that* delivery.  Almost two decades on (!!!!), I was screaming in my lounge, Sky Sports commentary blaring, as Stuart Broad delivered *that* ball to Alex Carey at the Oval.
