This is Gary Neville as you've never seen him before - sitting with Rio in his Airbnb and opening up about some hugely personal topics including the loss of his father, the abuse he suffered when out on the street with his family and why he should never have pursued a coaching or managerial career.Despite Rio's best efforts, Neville is typically self-deprecating about his own playing ability and instead focuses on the greatness around him - both in terms of mentality as well as the players who were technically brilliant.He gives insight into how the England setup changed from his time as a player to when he coached the national team under Roy Hodgson - and there's huge praise for Harry Kane's attitude and “seriousness” about the way he approaches football at the highest level.This episode is the very first time that Rio and Neville have discussed the time that Gary brought the England players together and threatened to strike because of the way Rio was treated by the FA which leads to a brutal and honest reflection on Neville's actions as the team's union rep.Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb #ad.

Welcome back to FUT IN REVIEW | World Cup Daily. In Episode 5, host GPM is joined by Art (all the way from Poland) and John (live from Perth) to settle the ultimate football debate.Has the classic center-forward actually died, or is Haaland proving it was just waiting? More importantly, which tactical system will conquer the World Cup this summer?We dive deep into the evolution of the game's most iconic shirt:The Classic Hitmen: Remembering the era of Alan Shearer, Gabriel Batistuta, Didier Drogba, and El Fenómeno (R9).The Guardiola Revolution: How the False Nine system with Lionel Messi and Roberto Firmino changed football forever.The Haaland Paradox: Why Manchester City's tactical mastermind brought in a 35 km/h blonde Viking to win the treble—and why the False Nine might just be a workaround for when you don't have Haaland.The Ultimate World Cup Test: Fluid football vs. Brute force. We contrast tournament favorites Spain (building around Yamal and Nico Williams without a traditional striker) against dark horses Norway (completely built around feeding Haaland).The Complete Forward: Why Harry Kane is the ultimate modern template—and whether he will secure the Golden Boot for England.The Lewandowski Dilemma: Art breaks down why Robert Lewandowski thrives at Barcelona but struggles as a classic 9 for Poland.Listen Early & Win Prizes: Want to hear every episode the exact second we finish recording?

Could there really be a world where Jude Bellingham doesn't start for England at the World Cup this summer? With Thomas Tuchel favouring Morgan Rogers in the number 10 role so far, is Bellingham facing a place on the bench? There are also big questions up front. Who steps in as backup to Harry Kane? Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dominic Solanke were both given opportunities against Uruguay but failed to impress, while Ollie Watkins hasn't quite hit top form this season. Does this point to a wider decline in traditional number nines in the English game?

It was a good day for Newcastle as they beat Villa in the 4th Round of the FA Cup, but the headlines were stolen by a staggering display from the officials at Villa Park.

His Argyle love is still strong. The disappointment of being released from the club he supported as a teenager could have been enough for Ben Tozer to drift into mediocrity. He didn't. Instead, within a year Ben was on the move to Newcastle United after a successful season at Swindon Town. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Nicky Butt and Mark Viduka, Toze  learnt the ropes on what would be a journey to well over 600 senior appearances – with nine different clubs. Being an avid Argyle fan, and playing mostly in the lower league, his path crossed with his beloved Greens on many occasions, a fixture he and his friends and family anticipated greatly. In later life, he flirted with Hollywood and helped Wrexham to succussive promotion successes.  This is the story of, Ben Tozer.

The Government is under huge pressure to explain why the high-profile trial of two men accused of spying for China collapsed just weeks before it was due to begin.Former parliamentary researcher Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry were charged under the Official Secrets Act, accused of gathering sensitive information for Beijing between December 2021 and February 2023. Both men have always maintained their innocence. Now, ministers face mounting criticism after the Crown Prosecution Service said the case failed because key evidence linking China to national security threats was never provided. In today's episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss how a collapsed spy case could spell serious trouble for Starmer's Government. We're also joined by Tory MP Tom Tugendhat who points out that his party repeatedly described China as a threat to the country whilst in Government. And should Westminster really be deciding how people discipline their own children? As acting legend Michael Caine and the former England footballer Alan Shearer join calls for Keir Starmer to ban smacking, Camilla and JRM share their own experiences of disciplining their children (and you might be surprised by Jacob's response).► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare, David Walker and Nick Miller to pick a lineup of players destined to be subject to the gravitational pull of the Premier League to give it (at least) one more crack in the next few years. The selection process involves some written-off goalkeepers, defenders who will come crawling back from Saudi Arabia, veteran midfielders doing one more season at their hometown club after winning the World Cup for England, Harry Kane's carefully-planned final assault on Alan Shearer's goalscoring record, and getting one step ahead of the Darwin Nunez redemption story.
