Bad Pitches, Chelsea's First Loss, a Disappointing Arsenal, and a Relegation Battle Reignited
Hosts Steph Houghton and Ian Wright go back to the basics with Arsenal’s loss to Real Madrid, sharing their disappointment at the team's inability to adapt as the game went on. And, of course, that pitch. They also look at a revitalized Man City, whose victory over Chelsea in the first leg of UEFA Women’s Champions League quarterfinals marked Chelsea's first loss this season—is this a sign of things to come or just new-manager bounce? The hosts heap praise on Kerolin for her energy and directness, and on Vivianne Miedema for her supreme finishes. Then it's time to weigh up Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Leicester’s survival in the WSL, before attempting to predict the unpredictable for this weekend’s WSL fixtures. Episode 22.

Arsenal Crash Out of the FA Cup, Nick Cushing Back to Man City, Taylor Hinds, and Predictions
‘Crossways’ is back after Arsenal’s loss to Liverpool, which saw them knocked out of the FA Cup at the quarterfinal stage. Hosts Ian Wright and Steph Houghton agree that the side lacked energy and the players need to show more pride in their personal performances. But they keep the faith with Renée Slegers. Steph lauds Nick Cushing as the best manager she ever had as he returns to hopefully bring silverware to Man City, keep the club’s best players, and allow them to play free. Taylor Hinds is on their minds, too, following the abuse she received during Liverpool’s win over Arsenal. And they’re back with predictions for the games ahead. Steph is in the lead with 50 points … can Wrighty claw it back?
