Welcome to 'Back Of The Stand' with Mark Saggers. Each week, I will be joined by some of the biggest guests to discuss all the latest in news and sport. We delve deep into the controversial discussions that others aren't brave enough to have.

The first international break is done and dusted and Lee Carsley's 'Three Lions' kicked off their Nations League campaign with a 2-0 win over the Republic Of Ireland in Dublin. Was it a convincing victory? Former England international John Salako and the Evening Standards football reporter Dom Smith discuss in detail. Our resident referees returned once again to put the world to rights, England secured a 2-1 test series win over Sri Lanka in the cricket and Jannick Sinner claimed his second major title this year as he was crowned US Open tennis champion.
