Extra Time with GirlsontheBall Episode 29 | They Think It's All Over... Spoiler Alert, It's Not!

In the latest episode of Extra Time with GirlsontheBall, Sophie and Rachel look back over one of the most dramatic weekends in the 2023/24 Barclays WSL season. They also look ahead to the FA Cup Final, where we're guaranteed a new winner with input from players from both teams.

Hello Rachel and Sophie. Imagine if Beth England scored the winner against Chelsea? Instead, might Grace Clinton be inspired to do something special to make up for missing the FA Cup final (such a pity for her)? As for the final, Toone loves Wembley, according to Russo. Did Arsenal injure a City defender, so as to get Alanna Kennedy on, with their Aussies knowing her positional play, to get a chance to get Stina goalscoring opportunities? Should City have started their Celebrations with Steph after scoring or concentrated on driving home their advantage? Lastly, I still think Chelsea under used Aggie this season and could have won the lot if they gave her more of a go.

All Chelsea, no mention of Steph Houghton retiring, you should be ashamed

Thanks for your comment. We have actually spoken about Steph’s retirement and wonderful career numerous times. On a previous episode of ET with GOTB, when it was first announced, on 90min Talks, the Guardian podcast with Soph, on the Upfront podcast with Rachel, all of which are promoted on our other platforms. On our Instagram lives and one of us was also at City at the weekend and covered her lovely tribute on the day on our Instagram. We’ve also got a one on one interview with Steph which we did with 90min coming out soon. So don’t worry we have covered it.
