Newcastle get Oxtoby, a dramatic NWSL Final, and England come home

The international break is back! Chloe and Rachel look ahead to the Lionesses' return to Wembley on Saturday night, featuring Hannah Hampton's newly-extended Ikea trophy cabinet.

Elsewhere, we take a moment to salute some non-league heroes across the FA Cup second round and react to major WSL2 news that Tanya Oxtoby is taking the reins at Newcastle.

Plus, US soccer journalist Asli Pelit joins the pod to give the lowdown on the NWSL final – and what's next for one of the league's major stars, Trinity Rodman.
