Flo and Jessy great; Becky rattled

I like the way Jessy takes the occasional Chelsea loss on the chin but the way Becky’s blood gets boiled by Arsenal fans merely existing is mega cringe! She barely even talks up Liverpool women. But her seething hatred for Arsenal seems to dominate the discourse. Try to be a little more unbiased please. Still love the pod. Cheers.
Shockingly narrow minded group given how they present themselves

Listen to their 12/16/24 episode. The discussion they chose to have about AVFC’s manager being dismissed should tell you everything you need to know about these three. They’re just not very smart nor empathetic individuals. Likely a consequence of being such big football fans of mens teams. They’ve been making excuses their whole lives so what’s the difference now.

If you’re not an England or Chelsea fan then this podcast might be a rough listen. Also wouldn’t recommend if you’re a fan of any other league besides the WSL since they seem to think other leagues are beneath them.
