  • Should Guehi have thrown a transfer tantrum like Isak?
    Sep 2 2025

    After a dramatic deadline day former Premier League striker Troy Deeney joins Gabby and Mark in the studio. Where does Alexander Isak fit into Liverpool's attack. Where does this leave Marc Guehi who - in contrast to Isak going on strike to force a move - did everything by the book and missed out?

    After Liverpool's record-breaking transfer outlay, have their famously thrifty owners, FSG, sensed incoming changes to the current financial fair play rules?

    Plus, Gabby and Mark revel in some wholesome Women's Rugby World Cup stories, as Samoa (who crowdfunded to get there) celebrated their first World Cup points in 11 years, and Chloe Kelly turned up to support the Red Roses.

  • Weekend Edition: Russian dolls, fax machines & legal threats - the making of the first Women's Rugby World Cup
    Aug 29 2025

    Our guest today, Alice Cooper, fought to set up the first ever Women's Rugby World Cup in 1991, along with three other trailblazing women. It took players selling Russian dolls and vodka to pay their way, organising everything over fax, and Alice losing her job - but they did it. Alice tells Gabby and Mark the story of how they paved the way for this year's World Cup.

    Plus, we look back at the best bits from this week's shows: former Nottingham Forest player David Prutton asked, could Mourinho replace Nuno at Forest?! After dream debuts for 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha and 15-year-old Max Dowman, Max's former coach at Arsenal, Temisan Williams, and The Telegraph's Sam Wallace joined us. And comedian and Grimsby fan, Lloyd Griffith, took the mickey out of Mark after their shock Carabao Cup win over Man United.

  • From Kobbie Mainoo to Max Dowman - Have Premier League academies sold their soul?
    Aug 28 2025

    This week has been dominated by huge teenage Premier League debuts with Rio Ngumoha’s winner for Liverpool and Max Dowman appearing for Arsenal at just 15.

    Dowman’s former coach at the Arsenal academy, Temisan Williams, joins us in the studio alongside The Telegraph’s Chief Football Writer, Sam Wallace.

    What made Dowman stand out? How much does it cost clubs to produce academy players? And after reports Man United could sell homegrown Kobbie Mainoo, leaving no Mancunians in the squad, is the trend of cashing in on homegrown talent stripping clubs of their identity?

    Comedian and Grimsby fan Lloyd Griffith rubs Mark's nose in it after the fourth tier side knocked Man United out of the Carabao Cup.

    Plus, Gabby and Mark react to Keegan Bradley not selecting himself for the Ryder Cup, and Celtic and Rangers' Champions League exits.

  • Weekend Edition: Can England's Red Roses pick up where the Lionesses left off?
    Aug 22 2025

    As part of a special weekend edition of The Sports Agents - Gabby's been at Twickenham - the home of England rugby - to speak to key members of England's Red Roses squad ahead of the start of the Women's Rugby World Cup!

    Over 375,000 tickets have already sold for a 32-match home tournament which kicks off on Friday as England bid to avenge their narrow World Cup final defeat to New Zealand back in 2021.

    Gabby sits down with Mo Hunt and Emily Scarratt, two of England's most decorated players, as well as, former captain-turned-coach Sarah Hunter, for an insight into the mood in the camp, the pressures of hosting the tournament as favourites and the chance to inspire a whole new generation of rugby fans.

  • Did Arsenal really hijack Eze deal & Jamie Murray blasts US Open 'exhibition'
    Aug 21 2025

    The summer transfer window continues to surprise, with North London rivals battling it out for Eberechi Eze. For a while, it looked as though Spurs had hijacked the deal, stealing Palace's star man away from Arsenal, but then the Gunners swooped in to break Spurs hearts. Cue pandemonium in N7, dejection in N17.

    Clive Palmer, host of the 'Arsenal Vision' podcast, was all too happy to join Gabby & Mark to break down what this deal means for a team which thought it had lost Kai Havertz to a long-term injury, but perhaps that has turned out to be a clever ploy too.

    Where does Eze fit in to Mikel Arteta's plans? What are the knock-on effects for the rest of the club? And were the board too hasty in extending the contract of Leandro Trossard?

    Plus, seven-time Grand Slam doubles champion Jamie Murray joins us to discuss the sweeping changes made to this year's US Open mixed doubles tournament, which championed the highest-profile singles players, offering a $1m payout to the winners.

  • How Reijnders was built for Premier League & are we sleeping on Man City?
    Aug 19 2025

    Premier League debuts don’t come much better than Tijjani Reijnders for Man City on the opening weekend... A player who arrived in England without the fanfare of a Gyokeres or a Wirtz - and looked like he’d been running Pep’s midfield for years...

    Former Premier League footballer Stephen Warnock and Andy Brassell, host of European football podcast 'On The Continent', join Gabby & Mark to explore the story behind what’s been described as an 'all-time Premier League debut' and examine the expectations we pile on new arrivals.

    Are European players now being developed in order to be sold to Premier League clubs for a big profit and adapt to the demands of English football quicker? Are we all guilty of overlooking Pep’s serial winners after their struggles last season?

    Plus, Chappers' optimism despite Man United's defeat to Arsenal, how long Scheffler would need to remain World no.1 in order to match Tiger's record, Rugby World Cup excitement and an outside shout for who Newcastle should look to replace Isak with!
