This week, Ben and Merl cover the biggest sporting headlines from the past fortnight, including all the action from the Premier League and Katie Taylor bowing out from boxing with a record breaking…
Hull have kept three clean sheets.
Fair play to anyone who predicted that.
Rather more predictably, Man City and Arsenal are the two teams with perfect records on nine points.
In the Formula One, Kimi Antonelli wins the Italian Grand Prix, going from 19th to the top step of the podium to become the first Italian winner this century.
We've had the GB&I team take their first Walker Cup in the amateur golf big international competition there against the US.
That's their first win since 2015.
We've had the US Open tennis that's moving into the latter rounds this week with the finals next Saturday and Sunday.
The smells from the local park have been dominating the headlines there.
In the MLB, we're getting towards the interesting stage of the season.
The Brewers, the Dodgers still doing well.
And the White Sox as well look like making the playoffs for the first time in a long time.
And then in the cricket, mid-series, England 2-0 up there in the test series against Pakistan.
But mid-series, we've had the Pakistan coach and about half the squad replaced as they prepare for the third and final test match of the English summer this week.
Ben, where do you want to start?
Well, yeah, there's a lot of things I want to get stuck into, actually, that we can talk about.
But you missed out probably the two most important sporting headlines, Merlin, of the last two weeks, I think.
So I'd love to just bring those up first, if I may.
I'd hate to contradict your roundup, but I think everybody wants to know that Tottenham Hotspur have gone three games without a win and sit in the relegation zone of the Premier League.
I think that's always important to note.
pick us up after commiserating our football team's performances Spurs are still being Spursy in the Premier League it's seen spent 350 million but seem to have picked up where they left off haven't they
Five minutes in and we've already lost the Spurs fans.
I don't want them, it's absolutely fine.
We need all the listeners we can get.
