    Do England need a makeover after Six Nations collapse?

    Just two weeks ago it was a completely different story for England at the Six Nations. From undefeated in 12 games and to two losses on the bounce.

    Spare a thought for the England fans who bought tickets to the final weekend in Paris, thinking it would be a Grand Slam decider…

    But are we all overreacting? Do England need to change to avoid the unthinkable against Italy? And what does this mean in the build up to next year’s World Cup? Gabby and Mark are joined by ex-England rugby player David Flatman.

    Plus, we reflect on the best moments of the Winter Olympics and are Spurs in trouble?

    Is Russia's ban from world sport over?

    Russian and Belarusian athletes will be allowed to represent their countries at the upcoming Winter Paralympics. For the first time since 2014, since Russia’s state-sponsored doping programme and the war with Ukraine, we will see the Russian flag and potentially hear the anthem.

    Ukrainian officials are boycotting, but FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, has also recently said he wants to lift football’s ban on Russia.

    This all comes after Ukrainian skeleton athlete, Vladyslav Heraskevych, was disqualified from the Winter Olympics for wearing a helmet showing Ukrainians killed in the war.

    So, is this the beginning of something? Could we see Russia compete at the LA Summer Olympics in 2028? Or even the World Cup? Mark and Gabby speak to The Athletic's Matt Slater.

    Plus, we look back at the best bits on The Sports Agents this week, from welcoming double Winter Olympic gold medallist Matt Weston, to discussing abuse in football with former England striker Emile Heskey.

    From Vinicius Jr to grassroots: how can football stop abuse?

    In the Champions League this week Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior stopped the match after alleged racial abuse by Gianluca Prestianni. Prestianni denies it ever happened.

    Today Gabby and Mark discuss the fall out from the incident. And later they're joined by former England striker Emile Heskey who’s launching the Football Safety App to help fight abuse in football and make it easier to report. All that, plus what it's like being a dad of two sons hoping to follow in his footsteps.

    Gabby and Mark also ask whether Mikel Arteta should keep his job if Arsenal do bottle it, following their draw at Wolves.

    Is the Winter Olympics better than the Summer Olympics?

    It was 3 golds for Team GB at the Winter Olympics over the weekend! That’s a new record… And the man who won two of them, Matt Weston, joins Gabby and Mark today.

    This is coming from a country that doesn’t even have a skeleton track to train on!

    How are Team GB punching above their weight? And are the Winter Olympics giving the Summer Olympics a run for their money?

    We discuss all that and a full weekend of sporting action - a nailbiting title race north of the border and Six Nations drama.

    Auld Enemy & Grand Slam Stakes: can Scotland stop England?

    What a week we’ve had here on The Sports Agents, from penis-gate, to Winter Olympics heartbreak and Premier League managers getting sacked.

    This weekend sees Scotland host the Auld enemy at Murrayfield as they take on England for the Calcutta Cup.

    Love might not be in the air north of the border, but there were remnants in the studio - as Gabby welcomed her husband and former Scottish winger Kenny Logan onto the show.

    England’s Six Nations title charge, mounting pressure on Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend, and what does Valentine's Day look like in the Logan household?

    Frank out, Dyche gone, Tuchel commits - Are football's power brokers panicking?

    It’s been a busy 48 hours since our last show… Spurs decided to sack head coach Thomas Frank after just 8 months in charge. How right Frank was when he told us on this show: “If I ever got the offer from a bigger club and I decided to go there, it would probably not make my life better”.

    And at about midnight on Wednesday night news broke that Nottingham Forest had sacked their third manager this season, Sean Dyche, after just 114 days in the job.

    At this rate, maybe only Thomas Tuchel will still be in a job until 2028?

    Mark is joined by The Athletic’s Tottenham Reporter, Jay Harris, and the former Liverpool & Chelsea Managing Director, and Aston Villa CEO, Christian Purslow, who is also the co-host of The Football Boardroom podcast with Henry Winter.

    'Penis-gate' & Should Lindsey Vonn have dared to ski?

    So far the Winter Olympics have been incredible, awe-inspiring and down-right bizarre. From reports of penis injections in order to ‘fly further’, to the heartbreak of 41-year-old skiing icon Lindsey Vonn, who crashed out at 60 mph after just 13 seconds.

    Gabby and Mark are joined by former Olympic skier Chemmy Alcott and CNN sports anchor Amanda Davies, who are out in Italy.

    All that plus Mark and Gabby interview 2026’s answer to Torville and Dean - Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson - who’ve been dancing to none other than the Spice Girls.

    Plus we chat about a sopping wet Six Nations, the Man United fan who might finally cut his hair, the Super Bowl, and why Mark's being compared to Bad Bunny.

    So you think you're a Winter Olympics expert?

    The Winter Olympics are here! What sport are we all going to pretend to be an expert at? Curling maybe? Today Gabby and Mark are joined by one of Great Britain’s biggest medal hopes, freestyle skier Kirsty Muir.

    She started skiing at 3 years old on the dry slopes of Scotland - imagine the carpet burn doing flips on that surface! Her nan can’t even watch when she does the huge tricks. This year she’s already won gold at the X Games and her third World Cup title. So can she win gold in Italy?

    Plus, we catch you up on the best bits from The Sports Agents this week, from Carlos Alcaraz's historic victory in Australia, to Gabby being pranked by Roger Federer at Wimbledon, and a big look at the Super Bowl this weekend.

    Does a Brit hold the key to the Super Bowl?

    It's Super Bowl time! Mark and Gabby are joined by Super Bowl winner Jason Bell to talk about one of sports biggest shows.

    Will an English coach (Aden Durde) win the Super Bowl for the first time? Have world-famous New England Patriots finally filled the giant Tom Brady-shaped hole in the franchise? And what are the best half-time shows ever? (Mark's a big Bad Bunny fan of course!)

    Plus, Gabby and Mark joke about wanting to switch the match off as Man City demolished Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi-final, and we rate England's chances for the Six Nations.

    Can 'charming' Carlos Alcaraz be bigger than 'The Big 3'?

    At 22 years old, Carlos Alcaraz has done what some of the best players in history chase their entire careers - winning the Australian Open to become the youngest man ever to win all four Grand Slams - with Novak Djokovic across the net and Rafa Nadal in the stands.

    Where Rafa annoyed his rivals and Novak sometimes felt like public enemy no. 1, is there any limit to what a seemingly universally loved player like Alcaraz can achieve?

    Do we need to be worried about Aryna Sabalenka's record in Grand Slam finals? And you have to hear Gabby's story about getting pranked by Michael McIntyre and Roger Federer!

    Gabby and Mark are joined by Charlie Eccleshare, Senior Tennis Writer at The Athletic, and tennis broadcaster, Marcus Buckland.

    Plus, we chat about Ronaldo going on strike, Man City women bulldozing Chelsea and their hopes of a WSL title, throwback performances from Man United and Spurs, and boxer Jarrell Miller winning by a hair... literally!
