The Lionesses ended the year on a high note, smashing eight goals past China at Wembley in a dominant display. Georgia Stanway's hat-trick was just one part of an impressive attacking performance that left opponents struggling to keep up. The team then followed this up with a controlled win over Ghana on the south coast, showcasing their ability to adapt and thrive against different opponents.
The panel reflects on this remarkable year for England, which has seen 17 games, 12 wins, and back-to-back European titles. With World Cup qualifying beginning in March, the focus now shifts to what comes next. The team will face a tough group, taking on Ukraine, Iceland, and Spain, but their confidence and momentum suggest they are well-equipped to handle whatever challenges lie ahead.
In addition to discussing England's successes, the Women's Football Weekly podcast has also had the opportunity to talk to Newcastle United's new head coach, Tanya Oxtoby. Oxtoby discussed her reasons for taking on the role, her vision for the club, and how she plans to build a pathway in the north-east of England. As Oxtoby settles back into day-to-day management ahead of her first game, it will be interesting to see if she can replicate her success with the Lionesses.
Oxtoby's decision to join Newcastle United comes as a significant coup for the club, which has been looking to strengthen its women's team in recent months. With Oxtoby at the helm, there is hope that the club can establish itself as a force to be reckoned with in English women's football. As she begins this new chapter, fans will be watching her progress closely and eagerly anticipating what the future holds for Tanya Oxtoby and Newcastle United's women's team.

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." 
The Lionesses have truly set the bar high with their incredible performance this year and I'm excited to see what they'll achieve next 
. Meanwhile, Tanya Oxtoby is off to a great start at Newcastle United, and I hope she can bring some of that same magic to the Magpies' women's team 
. Bring on the World Cup qualifying matches! 
England Lionesses are on fire 
! They totally crushed it this year, winning 12 out of 17 games 
with that hat-trick. I'm so hyped for them to take on Ukraine, Iceland, and Spain at the World Cup 
. Their confidence is through the roof 
as the new head coach of Newcastle United 
! She's got some amazing plans for the team and I'm so excited to see what she does next 
. The north-east is going to be rocking with her at the helm 
. Can't wait to see what the future holds for both England Lionesses and Newcastle United's women's team 
!
. With their confidence high, they'll take on a tough group in the World Cup qualifying stages 
. They've had some big wins, yeah, but 12 wins out of 17 games? That's not exactly a remarkable record when you consider the teams they've been playing against 
. And let's not forget that their European titles are just back-to-back, which isn't as impressive as people make it out to be 
. As for Tanya Oxtoby joining Newcastle United, I'm not convinced she'll be able to replicate her success with the Lionesses 
. We need more data and actual results from her time at the club before we start jumping on the bandwagon 
. Can someone provide some sources on these claims? 
. Maybe we'll get to see some talented English women's footballers emerging soon?
