Wrighty and Steph go deep with their analysis of the WSL opening weekend's fixtures: what and who surprised them, and what the performances and squads say about the season ahead. Reaction from Arsenal v. London City Lionesses at the Emirates, including Katie Reid giving away the penalty, how that shaped the game, and Reid's individual performance. And of course, Olivia Smith as part of Arsenal's starting XI and her spectacular goal. Steph talks about how Man City can get the best from Viv Miedema this season, what Grace Clinton can add, and the importance of working to get Bunny in the box. Both hosts show love for Ellie Carpenter's cross and  Aggie Beever-Jones's beautiful goal. The pair finish with a passionate debate about those halftime interviews, and, of course, their predictions.
