History Made! Bunny Shaw (100 Goals) & the 6-1 Villa Demolition

What a way to wrap up 2025! The team is on fire, capped by a sensational 6-1 victory at the Joie Stadium. The headlines belong to Bunny Shaw, who etched her name into the history books as the club's 100-goal Centurion. We break down her four-goal haul and her unstoppable impact.

We also toast to Casparij & Greenwood for hitting their 100th appearances, discuss Greenwood's timely return, and celebrate Knaak's contract extension. All of this leads into our preview for the big cup clash: West Ham United in the Subway League Cup Quarter-Finals.

The winning run continues! This week, we celebrate a flawless performance against Leicester, which saw us secure another clean sheet and extend our lead to six points at the summit of the Women's Super League!

This week, we deep dive into the 3-0 derby demolition of Manchester United at the Etihad, analysing the clinical goals from Rebecca Knaak, Khadija Shaw, and the stunning return goal from Lauren Hemp.

But the work isn't over! Before the international break, we pivot to a crucial Subway League Cup group decider against Nottingham Forest WFC. We discuss the high stakes—it’s essentially a knockout match to progress—and debate Jeglertz's strategy for rotation ahead of the WSL pause.
