Summary
Join us for today’s cup chaos special, as we recap all the results from across the weekend. Man City were knocked out of both cup competitions in the space of a few days - did they re-sign Gareth Taylor too prematurely?
Elsewhere, we saw smaller teams continue to close the gap, another lethal performance from Arsenal’s Stina Blackstenius, and some odd comments from Man Utd boss Marc Skinner.
We also chat about Copa 71, a cracking new documentary that reflects on the unofficial 1971 World Cup that saw record crowds and the customary idiotic response from the powers that be.

| 0:14.0 | On the surface it's the latest blockbuster entry into a classic canon of autobiographies by sporting heroes, |
| 0:19.5 | but in reality it's a powerful and stark metaphor |
| 0:22.0 | that highlights the issue of |
| 0:23.0 | thousands of teenage girls dropping out of sport due to online hate. |
| 0:26.2 | If online abuse was as bad then as it is today, Ellen might never have gone on to |
| 0:30.5 | become one of our country's greatest ever players. |
| 0:33.3 | The story is so important and sadly still relevant today. |
| 0:37.0 | Every single day, 121 teenage girls across the country give up on their sporting stories, |

| 0:44.0 | But thanks to amazing stories like Ellens we can try and rewrite that narrative. |
| 0:48.0 | To find out how EE are helping girls to keep involved in sport through their |

| 0:53.5 | online, search EE, learn smart. Welcome to Up Front, I'm Clay Morgan and I'm Rachel O'Sullivan. |
