  • the bare minimum

    this show does the absolute bare minimum and not one thing more than that. guests are honestly seemingly based off just friendships and vibes rather than actual expertise. they should call it the WSL show because it’s the only league the hosts are remotely qualified to talk about. their flippant comments about other leagues outside the UK is truly pathetic and like i said, the bare minimum qualities to be called Women’s football weekly.
