  • Meet Usain Bolts: The fastest humanoid robot
    Aug 26 2026

    Robbie Greenfield joins Chris McHardy for a look back at the world of sport.

    The world's fastest robot has been crowned in China, but does the record really mean anything? It's a machine after all.

    England cricket still seems to have a drinking problem, as another player was handcuffed in a nightclub. We hear from Joe Root on the subject.

    Then it's off to the disaster zone of LIV Golf as the Saudi-backed league falls apart. We then look back at other sports that came and went over the years from Slam Ball to the World Football League, and everything in between.

    All this and much more on The Score.

  • Lionel Messi Retires
    Sep 2 2026

    Monday Night Football with Chris McHardy and English Premier League champion Danny Simpson.

    Spurs are two games in and already in the mud. Have the summer transfers heaped even more pressure on the winless club? Can Roberto De Zerbi get them out of it? Danny gives his opinion on where it's all going wrong.

    Chelsea are the early entertainers of the league after an end-to-end 4-3 win over Brighton. Could they go on to win the EPL?

    We also have some breaking transfer news involving Liverpool and Manchester City.

    On the pitch, we're also looking at the variables that Andoni Iraola needs to fix for the Anfield side to get going.

    And Lionel Messi announces his immediate retirement from international football.

  • Zinedine Zedog takes the internet by storm
    Sep 2 2026

    Robbie Greenfield joins Chris McHardy for a feature-stacked episode of The Score.

    We hear about the greyhound racers going viral across the internet, and the former English Ballon d'Or winner who's been compared to The Office's David Brent.

    Robbie serves up an alternative to the Transfer Deadline Day buzz with a list of deals that involved very odd exchanges. But don't worry, we still keep an eye on some actual transfers.

    Then we move on to all things motorsport as former Red Bull F1 and IndyCar driver Robert Doornbos joins us in the studio.

  • How Everton became the Transfer Window's Biggest Losers
    Sep 3 2026

    Eddie Taylor joins Chris McHardy for another episode of The Back Page.

    There's a look back as the summer transfer window slams shut, and we pick out the winners and losers of the deals. While Liverpool filled their squad with another £100m+ player, across Merseyside, Everton might struggle to fill all the seats on their bench.

    Then we look at the complete implosion of Pakistan's cricket team and a look at those that have similarly collapsed. While we're in the controversy well, we've got Current Global MD Pete Jacobs on the phone to talk about the Good Good x Calloway disaster.

    And stay tuned for a ridiculous Serie A stat that has to be heard to be believed.

  • Mike Dean's Side Quest Controversies
    Sep 4 2026

    Ex Swansea and Wales international Neil Taylor joins Chris McHardy.

    Gamesmanship is in vogue as Bill Belichick and the Patriots' dark arts are explained. We heard from Aryna Sabalenka as she goes to war with a US Open journalist - but who is in the right?

    Former Premier League referee Mike Dean has landed in hot water. We take a look at the fallout of his "minigames" faux pas, and who better to have an opinion on him than Neil... who was sent off by him.

    On a lighter note, Neil has great advice for parents whose kids are starting sports camps this season.

    We also check out the incredible punishment the NBA slapped on the LA Clippers - should the Premier League follow suit regarding rule breakers?

  • Why is football persisting with VAR?
    Sep 15 2026

    It’s Monday Night Football with Chris McHardy and his co-host, Premier League title-winner Danny Simpson.

    There’s only one place to start: the absolutely disgrace that is VAR. It’s the boil on football’s rump that needs to be lanced sharpish. Are there any redeeming features of the technology?

    Don’t worry, we do actually talk about the Manchester derby, which, dare we say, was bang average?

    But five wins in five for Enzo Maresca is decent. Pep who?

    Arsenal are in imperious form too. Are we in for another two-horse race in the EPL?

    There’s also a little look at the dark arts of wasting time.
