N17 Women

Spurs lost this one but the vibes were a whole lot better. We try and identify what was different and talk about: The return of Eveliina and DrewOlivia's skillsCharli on the wingAsh's acrobatic 'clearance'And we ask: will anyone other than Beth ever score again? We also look ahead to Brighton, get into the WPLL's rumoured plan to scrap relegation (bad), Becky Spencer's loan to Chelsea (confusing) and Kit Graham's return to training (good). * Note: This episode was recorded before we saw the transfer rumours about Olga Ahtinen's return to Sweden.
