Summary
The WSL is back from the winter break! And that Manchester derby was certainly worth the wait. Clo and Rach are once again full of praise for Ella Toone after her hat-trick and we wonder whether it’s crunch time for Gareth Taylor.
Elsewhere, Liverpool put in a sharp display against Brighton to take all three points - but Matt Beard’s on a revenge mission against the PGMOL. And THIS time, he has videos...
Plus, we caught up with Irish journalist Kathleen McNamee to discuss friend of the pod Carla Ward’s new job as the Republic of Ireland Head Coach!
