  • Content is king but at what cost to player privacy?
    Jan 30 2026

    You’ve likely seen the viral video of Coco Gauff smashing her racket in a corridor at the Australian Open. She tried to go somewhere without cameras and failed. Now she's complaining the only private place is the locker room, Novak Djokovic says it's like "big brother", Iga Swiatek thinks they're "animals in a zoo".

    Content is king but at what cost to player privacy? Isn’t this the kind of access we all wanted to drive sports broadcasting forward and grow the sport? The bigger the sport - the more financial reward for players, so why complain? Or are we in danger of forgetting they’re only human?

    Jamie Murray, former world number one doubles player, and Molly McElwee, tennis journalist and author of "Building Champions", join Gabby and Mark.

    Plus, we look back at the best bits of The Sports Agents from Manchester United to a very English embarrassment at Champions League success to two-time World Cup winner Tobin Heath.

  • Are English clubs embarrassed by Champions League domination?
    Jan 29 2026

    Five English teams finished in the Champions League top 8 to reach the last 16 without a playoff. If Newcastle join them it will be the first time ever that six Premier League teams have made the knockouts.

    But how are these sides dominating Europe when all we keep being told is that the Premier League quality hasn’t been all that this season? Is it about time with all the Premier League money? Do English fans still have an inferiority complex when it comes to European giants? And how does it reflect on the new-look Champions League if one country is dominating? Football journalist Guillem Balague joins Gabby and Mark.

    And later, we welcome two-time World Cup winner and double Olympic gold medallist, Tobin Heath. Ahead of the new Women's Champions Cup final we chat about growing the club game globally, her friend Trinity Rodman becoming the highest paid women's footballer and how investor and multi-club owner Michele Kang is thriving in the grey areas.

  • 'Michael Carrick's at the wheel!' ... Haven't Man United been here before?
    Jan 27 2026

    Michael Carrick couldn’t have dreamed of a better start to life as Man United’s interim boss after successive wins against the Premier League’s top two - in Arsenal & Manchester City.

    A few more performances like Sunday’s at the Emirates and the clamour for him to stay on will be deafening - in some quarters it’s already started! ... But United have been here before.

    The Athletic's Man United writer Carl Anka & Neil Redfearn (who's no stranger to the 'caretaker's job') join Chappers to work out if lessons been learnt at the club internally, if there's really a better choice than Carrick for the permanent job and what Premier League history can teach us about how it usually works out for the caretakers who get the job full-time.
