6:38 pm
ultra—scary to me, but i am just really looking forward to it. to be the best you have to beat the best and that is our opinion from a lot of the fan base. so it will be some absolutely fantastic ties in there. just a really, really good group. to save up a fan base there you will be covering a lot of matches for your social changes and for the digital side of things, how are the fans feeling ahead of this campaign? i think ultimately we are just excited and embracing every single moment of it, no one expected us to be there. i genuinely thought that in 20 years of going to matches as a newcastle fan i would never see us in the champions league again so just to be here and have the group that we do and people are genuinely fear us because we were on the team that nobody wanted and just to be there and embracing it. we are so excited and embracing it. we are so excited and we genuinely have the belief that we can actually do something in the champions league. so i'm just so, so looking forward to it and i will probably speak on behalf of a

6:41 pm
before that so a huge thing that they have done, but the message to them now is what an opportunity you have. what a huge opportunity to take this club to the europa league which would be huge. still to come on sportsday. england legend maggie alponsi joined us. she spoke to me about her battles, on her rise to the top of the game and how england should approach the world cup, which starts in just over a week. some would probably have to question what the environment is like, the culture like, why players almost feel like there has been a lot of errors. there's not long to go, until the summer transfer window closes for another year — and yet again — it's a window where premier league sides are breaking new ground in regards to spending, to bring in new players for the season. 0ur football reporter simon stone is across today's latest developments — and joins me now... let's start in spain,
6:42 pm
and one of the brightest prospects, once touted as the heir to messi, is set to join the premier league... the premier league... he hasn't messi's number. yes, he was touted as one of the big things but if everything goes to plan i think it will, will become a brighton player before the end of the deadline who would have thought that ten or 15 years ago. that brighton could sign a player as good as that from barcelona. that is what is happening. barcelona need to create somebody and they want to get jack and sell in from manchester city, they have made it perfectly clear that he is not part of his plans. but brighton have stepped in and can offer european football and progression for a young player and that looks like where he is going to go. manchester city on the brink of another signing too... what would this add? new naz after a

bit of haggling — what would this add? new naz after a bit of haggling the _ what would this add? new naz after a bit of haggling the fee went _ what would this add? new naz after a bit of haggling the fee went up - bit of haggling the fee went up from £47 million to £53 billion but yes, people bring creativity and vision and clearly manchester city not devoid of these abilities with the squad that they have got but but also coming to terms with the lengthy absence of kevin de bruyne at the same time they are getting to that she to life without ill hike under one. so it is addressing an issue there even though i think most people would think that they probably already got the best squad in the premier league anyway. lose some of the — in the premier league anyway. lose some of the players _ in the premier league anyway. lose some of the players to _ in the premier league anyway. lose some of the players to the others. romelu lukuku on the move again with the permanent return to italy. the return to the permanent return to italy. iie: return to chelsea the permanent return to italy.

in the champions league finals that effectively ruled out of going back there. there was talk of event is and then from acumen with the form managerjose moreno and i am told he had one conversation with the owners of roma and decided that was a place for him. he really needs to start recapturing the ball from earlier in his career and then he can be the player that we all know he can be. but hasn't been for the last three orfour but hasn't been for the last three or four years. but hasn't been for the last three or four years— but hasn't been for the last three or four ears. ., ~ i. , . or four years. thank you very much, simon, or four years. thank you very much, simon. great _ or four years. thank you very much, simon. great to _ or four years. thank you very much, simon, great to speak _ or four years. thank you very much, simon, great to speak to _ or four years. thank you very much, simon, great to speak to you. - we'll see how many of these potential transfers actually go through, the window closes tomorrow night. there has already been record spending in the premier league and it's set to pass the 2 billion pound mark by the end of the week. the football news show will be live tomorrow — with a 90 minute deadline day special. here's ben croucher. from faulty fax machines to training ground interviews through car windows. transfer window date is seldom dull. we will be like with

6:51 pm
will be eyeing up a chance we are going to actually play the finished team before but i expect them to be working very hard, very sound defensively and we will have to work for everything begat and we will have to match their urgency and defensively and if we can do that we will give ourselves the chances to be in the game and strike. that does all we are looking for. and we want to be in the game and give ourselves the chance to win it. there's just over a week until the rugby world cup gets under way in france. and the former england star maggie alphonsi will be there — on work duties — as a commentator and pundit. it's been a tough rise to the top of her profession — beginning life on a council estate, suffering racism and sexism before breaking through to win more than 70 caps for the women's side, and winning the world cup back in 2014. shejoined me in the studio earlier, to talk about her struggles, which she's shared in her new book — and how the current england men's side might fare going into next month's tournament. this version of the book is pretty
6:52 pm
much my untold story of myjourney. where like you have touched on, i do cover prejudice where our experienced in all of those areas, but i also talk about being born with a physical disability called club foot. also talk about where i've had difficulties so i've lost my half brother, the challenges my mother had to go to to try and raise myself as a single parent. group on a council estate and just the general abuse of what a movement know about men's rugby. hence the theme of winning the fight so i had to overcome adversity and i really hope people read it and say i've had to overcome adversity and look where i met today and i could do anything i met today and i could do anything i could set my mind to do and achieve. , , , ., ., ., achieve. very inspirational. on the en . land achieve. very inspirational. on the england men's— achieve. very inspirational. on the england men's side _ achieve. very inspirational. on the england men's side in _ achieve. very inspirational. on the england men's side in terms - achieve. very inspirational. on the england men's side in terms of. achieve. very inspirational. on the | england men's side in terms of your assessment. it england men's side in terms of your assessment-— assessment. it is a confidence is low. assessment. it is a confidence is low- there _ assessment. it is a confidence is low- there is _ assessment. it is a confidence is low. there is no _ assessment. it is a confidence is low. there is no continuity - assessment. it is a confidence is low. there is no continuity or - low. there is no continuity or consistency in the way that they play. and almost when we used to see
6:53 pm
england at their very best, those players are playing with almost no fear. at the moment and kind of feels like there is a level of restriction. they are playing within a game plan and are not producing the potential and talent that we know that those players can do. i guess it is hard on this england side, they have a new coach that came in back in december, steve borthwick and some would say he has not had very long to almost implement his plan and obviously change the coaching staff. but some would have to question what is the environment like, what is the culture like, why are players almost feeling like there has been a lot of errors in training so george ford came out saying that there is too many errors and we are not being consistent in training and as an english fan i am just disappointed and frustrated that we are not seen the best out of them. going into the broke cup kicking off on the 8th of september you hope that it all turns around —— world cup. that we see the best of england and that they continue to improve. because there is only one way from here and you

6:55 pm
2025 will be an exciting time. a draw for the group stage of the champions league has been made. manchester city, the holders face are to be like sick in their group with manchester united in a group with the german champions byron munich was to put a tie that will be. newcastle on their return. with a group they have. psg, dortmund and ac milan, all the details and reaction from that as well as transfer news too. one day until the transfer news too. one day until the transfer when the closes. i was on that on our bbc website that is it for us on sportsday. thanks for watching and we will see you next time. hello there. low pressure and its weather fronts
6:56 pm
brought a rather cloudy, damp day to many central, southern and western parts of the uk. quite a bit of sunshine though across scotland and north—east england. as we head into friday, this area of low pressure will be weakening, fizzling out and conditions will be improving. as we head into the weekend, into next week, high pressure will bring dry, sunny, warm weather for many of us. so these weather fronts then continue to bring outbreaks of rain through the evening and overnight we could see an area of thundery rain move through the channel. may just graze southern counties of england certainly wet nights in store for the channel islands further north, rather cloudy with some patchy light rain and drizzle. quite a mild night in the south but under clear skies in scotland. it'll be quite chilly. so for friday we start off with plenty of sunshine across most of scotland. southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england will see this weakening weather front — some spots of rain on it. it'll also be brightening up across other parts of england and wales through the afternoon, some sunshine, also a few showers on the heavy side in places and feeling warmer — up to 22 degrees. as you move through friday night, that weather front across central areas will continue to fizzle out.
6:57 pm
clouds break up and we'll see increasing clear skies, but that way leads to mist and fog to develop by dawn, certainly across parts of england, wales into northern ireland. a mild nights come again first thing saturday. but it's not going to be quite as much as what we'll expect tonight. when we can, then, is looking dry, sunny and warm. thanks to high pressure building in there mayjust be the odd shower and we will see these weather fronts just flirting with the far north of scotland. otherwise, most places will be fine and settled. we do start, though, with the mist and fog, some low cloud through saturday morning and then that will tend to lift and burn away and we should see plenty of sunshine. could develop into just the odd isolated shower across england and wales, but most places will be dry. it'll feel warmer up to 23 degrees in the south, 20 degrees through central and eastern scotland. sunday we do it all — again against merely mist and fog that will clear to plenty of sunshine. this weather front will bring some wet and breezy weather to the north and west of scotland.
6:58 pm
18 degrees there for stornoway, but warmer further south — 24, 25 degrees across some central and southern areas. and that fine, dry, sunny, warm weather continues for the upcoming week. but towards the end of the week, we'll start to see some showers moving in off the atlantic. take care.
