Spurs Women have been very active in the January transfer window, so we got together for an emergency pod to recap all the business—and most importantly, say farewell to club legend Ash Neville and reflect on her iconic Spurs career.

First, we discuss every aspect of Super Ash's mid-season move:

• Emotional reactions to the news
• Timing of the transfer
• Her fit with Leicester City
• Our favorite Ash moments

Then we rate the five (5!) incoming transfers on a scale of 1-to-10 and preview the first of two back-to-back matches against Leicester, along with tackling a couple of listener questions.

Note: In this episode, we referenced our previous interview with Ash as well as a funny meme from listener Ryan. Both are linked below!

We mentioned an excellent piece by Maryam Clark on Gaupset. You can find it here. There is also a great tactical analysis of Gaupset by Chiara Bozzarello in the Cutback here (you may have to subscribe to read it in full).

Spurs Women faced an onslaught from Chelsea's attack (especially on corners!), but held off to only concede one wonder goal from Keira Walsh, an improvement over the blowout loss to Manchester City.

We discuss our 1-0 away loss, including:

• Drew's absence
• First-half clean sheet
• Comparing to the City game
• Molly's imminent return
• Good lineup headaches
