A new Beth England, looking for another goal! Its the most wonderful time of the year, the FA Cup fourth round. Just the 77 goals across 16 games - great value for money, unless you support one of the teams on the receiving end. We talk through the highlights from a busy FA Cup weekend, shout out Spurs, Arsenal and Sunderland. Plus, our thoughts on the WSL January transfer window so far and a discussion around maternity pay and discrimination following the recent revelations from Sara Bjork Gunnarsdóttir and Emma Mukandi.

It's that time again, our Christmas Plonkcast! It's our final podcast of 2023 and a chance to provide a festival review of the WSL season so far. Which manager is in our Christmas stocking? Who's been the most helpful elf? Who's our Christmas pudding and who's been our Christmas cracker? Proudly sponsored by FotMob
With another international break coming, the WSL reminded us what we'll be missing - 26 goals across 6 games! Even better, 2 were from the returning Beth Mead. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City continue their free-scoring ways, Liverpool and Man U get back on track and the league's mid/lower league teams are consistently inconsistent. Plus, we talk about future potential WSL/Championship changes and investment.

One month into the 2023/24 Barclays Women's Super League and the Nations League has butted in! At least it gives us a chance to take stock of the first 4 gameweeks. We talk through the first month of the season; who has surprised, who has underwhelmed and who can stop Willie Kirk's Leicester City?
It's been a slow start for Arsenal, Villa and one or two others but our Manchester City & Chelsea title race prediction is looking very promising. Plus, Brighton's stadium plans, Marc Skinner's UWCL comments and we spin the 'Wheel of Doom' to get our new Booze from a Boot (new forfeit to be confirmed!) goalscorers for the season.

We’re through those nervy quarter-finals, and we've only just got our breath back. All 4 games couldn’t have been much tighter; an extra-time battle between Spain & Netherlands, a nervy finish in Sweden v Japan, a long penalty shootout between Australia & France and a comeback England win against Colombia. We review it all and preview the scary semi-finals.

The Round of 16 didn’t disappoint, unless you’re a WoSo fan. Commiserations to the U.S who will be sipping tea all the way home against a seismic penalty shootout against Sweden. England on the other hand undeservedly snuck through against an impressive Nigeria side.
Upsets, penalties, VAR drama and 19 goals across 8 games. We’ve lots to catch you up on. Plus, we preview the tasty WWC Quarter Finals. Spain v Germany, Japan v Sweden, Australia v France and England v Colombia - all crackers!
