  • Has Saudi Arabia given up on sport?
    May 5 2026

    Saudi Arabia's PIF spent around £6 billion reshaping world sport in the last four years — buying golf tours, funding billion-dollar boxing purses, and turning an obscure football league into a global talking point.

    Now the money is running out. LIV Golf loses its funding after 2026. Saudi football clubs are being sold off. Oil prices are falling, cash reserves are at a decade low, and sport has been quietly dropped from the PIF's priority list entirely.

    How much has the war in the Middle East shaped their decision? Yasir Al-Rumayyan was seen at St James's Park at the weekend... but will they keep their interest in Newcastle? And what does the future for Saudi's involvment in sport look like? The Athletic's chief sport correspondent Matt Slater joins Gabby & Mark.

    Plus, the guys debate whether England or Scotland has the most enthralling title run-in and Mark is moved by a particularly heartwarming moment at the World Snooker Championship.

    After Liverpool became the SIXTH English club to fall victim to Luis Enrique's all-conquering PSG in the Champions League - does their unique blend of intensity & swagger feel more and more like an indictment of Premier League pragmatism.

    So how do they keep peaking at just the right time in the season, why wasn't there more of a battle to sign the likes of Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and which PSG star was deemed 'not ready' for England's top-flight!

    Plus, on the news Andoni Iraola will be leaving Bournemouth at the end of the season - would Gabby & Mark swap Eddie Howe or Michael Carrick for him now?
