    Imagine getting a call from an agent about your 12-year-old son, would you know what to do?

  • How Guardiola's Man City lost their superpower
    Jan 28 2025

    It's not very Manchester City or Pep Guardiola to be one game away from crashing out of the Champions League in the league phase, and yet they face a must-win game on Wednesday to avoid their earliest exit for 12 years.

    So Gabby and Mark caught up with former Man City player, Nedum Onuoha, and Pep Guardiola's biographer, Guillem Balague. What's the feeling inside City now about what's going wrong? Was the entire winning-machine held together by Rodri’s hamstring? And can Guardiola magic his way out of this one? (08:45)

    Ahead of the Invictus Games we meet Gemma Barnes (37:30), a physiotherapy officer who served for 15 years in the army before two life-changing knee injuries. We talk about her journey through losing her career and her identity, to becoming the vice-captain of Team UK and competing in the skeleton.

    All that and more... What's Mark's problem with this year's Super Bowl? What do they make of the first $1m dollar women's player, Naomi Girma? And have we jinxed Nottingham Forest?

  • EXCLUSIVE: Sir Mo Farah on childhood, running with Wenger & why talent isn't enough
    Jan 23 2025

    Mo Farah joins Gabby and Mark on The Sports Agents today.

    The four-time Olympic gold medallist and national treasure who lit up London 2012, talks to us about everything from running with Arsene Wenger, to what he learnt from his traumatic childhood, and his reaction to Gabby calling him Mo Salah on air.

    How a prodigious talent 'flipped the switch' to win multiple golds and if he would he swap any of his medals to play in the Premier League?
