This week on Whistleblowers, Gordon Smart, Mark Clattenburg and special guest Rory Jennings pull no punches.

Rory doubles down on his headline-grabbing claim that Erling Haaland flatters to deceive, claiming he won’t win the Golden Boot this season. The panel ask whether modern derbies have lost their venom, as ticket prices and corporate crowds dilute the raw passion of match day. 

Mark Clattenburg shares what it’s really like to referee the most heated clashes in football - from the chaos of Newcastle vs Sunderland to the intensity of Birmingham vs Villa - and tells the story of a pitch invader who ended up gifting Arsenal a goal.

They each reveal their all-time dream XIs, featuring legends like Messi, Maradona, Pele and Ronaldo, while Ian Ladyman phones in from a rainy family holiday to share why Cristiano Ronaldo still makes his All Time XI.
