It's been a busy August, so we have a lot to catch up on: Inter Miami's annoying dominance of Leagues Cup, Spain's historic World Cup win, a deluge of MLS transfers, and a familiar face in John Herdman taking up the mantle of a dismantling the dysfunctional Toronto FC.

Spain won their first Women's World Cup last week, but the fallout has instead been dominated by one man; president of the Spanish Football Federation Luis Rubiales. Rubiales planted a kiss on Spanish player Jennifer Hermoso's lips during the medal ceremony, a kiss she said was non-consensual. Since then, Rubiales has been suspended but ignored calls to step down as Spanish football descends into chaos... even leading to his own mother going on hunger strike over accusations against him earlier this week. To discuss a fast moving story and what it says for women in sport, The Athletic's Laura Williamson, Laia Cervello and Adam Crafton joined host Ayo Akinwolere.

Luton’s Premier League adventure is nearly upon us and Dan Ashby joins James to kick off Correspondent Week Day 3 and discuss The Hatters, their prospects of survival and the enablers who should appeal to FPL managers. There’s 4.0 defenders, a starting 4.5 midfielder and even potential in 5.0 and 4.5 forwards, but with a Blank in Gameweek 2 it means picking more than one could bring trouble. So who’s best? Is it the well owned Amari’I Bell? Is new loan signing Issa Kabore assured of starts? Can Marvelous Nakamba offer anything more than starting points? There’s discussion on the likely first choice line-up, why there’s confusion on who may be on penalties, issues in trying to buy a new goalkeeper and where further investment in the squad may be required, But Luton are working on a shoestring financially in comparison to other Premier League clubs and that’s why finishing above the relegation zone would bea miraculous achievement… but don’t rule them out.
