Summary

Chloe and Rachel are back together in the studio! And there’s nothing like a whole bunch of postponements to get us kicked off for 2025, is there?!

Besides that though, there were some very exciting returns in the FA Cup – we give our takes on Ella Toone, Viv Miedema and LJ’s returns, plus how the FA Cup can be made more competitive after another upset-less weekend.

We also react to Jonas Eidevall’s tell-all interview (and do a surprisingly good Jonas impersonation) and there’s the latest transfer news from WSL land!

Didn’t catch last week’s episode with Maggie Murphy? Listen here.
