On today’s pod: a final WSL weekend before the winter break, packed with goals and drama. Manchester United and Tottenham share six in a chaotic draw at Leigh Sports Village, while Manchester City go six clear at the top after hitting Aston Villa for six, with Bunny Shaw scoring four in a record-breaking performance. The panel discuss the action from the weekend’s WSL games and ask why Bunny Shaw has never been shortlisted for a Ballon d’Or.
Plus: we’re joined by WSL Football’s Zarah Al-Kudcy to discuss Panini’s decision to include WSL 2 players in its sticker album for the first time, what that means for visibility and revenue, and how commercial growth could shape the future of England’s second tier.
Also: FA Cup third-round talking points, a look ahead to the fourth-round draw, Moroccan champions AS FAR booking their place in the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup semi-finals and some of the finest Christmas puns!
