As the WSL title race appears to (for now) still be a title race, Charli and Matt naturally turn their attention away from the top 4 to talk about the "Other 8". Digging in to key stats, recent history and key players for Villa, Brighton, Bristol and Everton in the first part of this mini "series". Also strap in for Charli's longest and hottest take yet.

Charli and Matt speculate about the Lionesses squad ahead of their February friendlies, what this means for the near future and how Sarina can use this "year off" to build as we look towards the Euros. Charli makes an impassioned (some may say delusional) plea to Sarina to join the squad as a maverick star striker.

Matt and Charli discuss the commercial side of women's football and the outlook in the near future for the WSL and Championship with the takeover by s**tly named NewCo. They also give a shout out to a player who's scored the most ridiculous goal so far this season, and Matt suggest some interesting new rules for the Conti Cup.
