Summary

We’d like to start by thanking Mary Fowler for saving us all - but especially one very cold Rach - from extra-time against Arsenal last week. Her and Clo react to Man City getting through to the League Cup final to face, you guessed it… Chelsea!

Elsewhere, the FA Cup delivered some serious squeaky bum time moments this weekend and we also give our thoughts on whether ‘B Teams’ in the lower tiers are actually a good idea.

Plus, Sazzy Weegs has announced her England squad for the Nations League games later this month, and of course people are talking about Chloe Kelly being ‘dropped’. We're here to throw water on that fire and revel in Keets getting her call-up!

1:11.5	I'll come back to you on that one.
1:14.4	Right, moment of the weekend, what we're saying?
1:17.5	It may be really obvious, and I hope I haven't stolen yours,
1:20.1	and if I have, I apologise, and if I have, it just gets...
1:22.8	It gets the extra shout out. It's 17-year-old Marriott Griffiths scoring on her debut for matches United,
