## Resource

It’s a very special talkSPORT Daily podcast today, hosted by Angelina Kelly as Andy Goldstein and Gabby Agbonlahor are joined by James Corden! The Gavin and Stacey creator opens up about his beloved West Ham United as they face a nail-biting relegation battle—can the Hammers pull off a late escape? James also takes a trip down memory lane to discuss his iconic time as Smithy and that famous speech to the whole England squad. PLUS with the World Cup just weeks away, the trio dive into the big England debates. James and Gabby clash over who makes it into the starting XI and whether this is finally the year the Three Lions bring it home. From the London Stadium to the world stage, we’ve got it all covered on the talkSPORT Daily podcast!
