Award-winning podcast Real Talk is back with a one-off episode about the FA's ban on transgender women in FA-affiliated football. We speak to players Blair Hamilton and Sammy and Paula from Goal Diggers FC, to understand what the ban means for them. We also hear from sports law professor Dr Seema Patel, who specialises in the balance between inclusion and exclusion in competitive sport, to unpack the FA's decision to ban transgender women from football after the Supreme Court ruling on April 16th which unanimously ruled that a woman is defined by biological sex under equality law.And in a world exclusive, we hear from St Pauli captain, Jackson Irvine, who calls the ban “heavy-handed” and “worrying.” A special thanks to Jessy Parker Humphreys, sports reporter at the Observer, who joins us in the studio to unpack the interviews. You can read more on the Sky Sports website and watch our interviews on the Sky Sports News YouTube channel.

Matt Davies-Adams has got Jessy Parker Humphreys and Liam Twomey alongside him run the rule over the *slamming shut* of the transfer window AND the crucial three points against the Hammers. We begin with events on the field, as Chelsea came from behind to win a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge in which they've trailed at half time for the first time since December 2013 (no, seriously!).

Then - we attempt to round up all the deadline day deals, including the loan departures of Disasi, Felix, Chilwell and Chukwuemeka - as well as a host of academy products. What does it all mean?! With Jessy in tow it would be rude not to check in with the latest news surrounding CFCW - still unbeaten after a scrappy 1-0 win at Aston Villa courtesy of a fortunate late own goal but with Keira Walsh already looking like she could be a key difference maker with the quadruple still on...
