Man United draw at Palace as Rashford starts on bench | Nunez magic moves Liverpool top | Pep discusses City’s fixture congestion
22 September 2024 - 41 minsLaurie Whitwell of The Athletic joins Vicky Gomersall and The Mirror’s Darren Lewis to reflect on the biggest talking points from the weekend’s sporting action.
We start with Manchester United’s goalless draw at Crystal Palace and the decision to start Marcus Rashford on the bench. Manager Erik ten Hag insisted it’s “just rotation”, but what do our panel think? They also discuss André Onana’s incredible double save to deny Palace a certain goal.
Elsewhere, Darwin Nunez’s brilliant strike helped Liverpool move to the top of the table with a win against Bournemouth, but are they genuine title contenders?
Plus, we hear an extended interview with Pep Guardiola – the Manchester City bo...
Tuchel’s Test | Fantastic Ford | Ashes Preview
Rob Jones is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Martin Samuel and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin by looking at England’s unbeaten World Cup qualification. But is Jacqui right to think that, while praise is due, Tuchel’s real test will be winning the tournament itself? Attention then turns to Scotland. After their 3–2 loss to Greece, everything now comes down to Tuesday night at Hampden, where they host Denmark and hope to top the group with a win. We move on to Wales, who beat Liechtenstein to draw level on points with second-placed North Macedonia and now look to reach the play-offs by beating them on Tuesday. Next, we turn to England’s impressive win against the All Blacks. Martin highlights George Ford’s two drop goals in a 33–19 performance that indicates Steve Borthwick’s approach is bearing fruit. We’re then joined by Adam Collins to preview the Ashes. With just five days to go, Australia are without both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, and Adam believes the key will be how quickly England hit the ground running. And finally, we’re joined by Rob Dorsett, who discusses all things England with John Cross and Jason Burt in Tirana ahead of Albania v England. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Late Show at Stadium of Light | Chaotic Finale at Spurs | Ashes Preview
Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Northcroft, Craig Hope and Jonathan Liew to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with league leaders Arsenal, who were held to an entertaining 2–2 draw at the Stadium of Light after a dramatic last-minute equaliser from Brian Brobbey. Was this a chink in the armour for Arteta’s side? Jonathan believes Arsenal earned a valuable point given their injury problems in attack. Attention then turns to Chelsea’s commanding win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge. Booed off at half-time but second in the table at full-time, Jonathan admits he’s still not sure what to make of Chelsea this season — and with only two points this season, are Wolves already staring down the barrel of Championship football next year? We move on to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Manchester United salvaged a late equaliser in a frantic 2–2 draw. Is Craig harsh to suggest it felt like a game where both teams lost? Next up, with just twelve days until The Ashes, we’re joined by cricket broadcaster Adam Collins to preview the series. While much of the focus is on the prolific form of Australia’s Steve Smith, we ask whether England are well placed to take the first Test. And Jonathan Liew finds himself compared to a certain England cricketer… And finally, a huge Super Sunday fixture between Manchester City and Liverpool may be key to Premier League title hopes.

Turning Point for Liverpool? | Can Arsenal be stopped? | Long-Ball Revival
Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Charlie Wyett, Dominic King and Carl Anka to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We start with Liverpool’s much needed victory against Aston Villa; the shocking run is over, but is this a real turning point for Liverpool? Attention then shifts to Arsenal’s win at Burnley. Charlie praises Gyokeres’ impressive first half, and after a ninth win and seventh consecutive clean sheet, Carl suggests stopping Arsenal is going to be very hard. Then we turn to an unhappy Sean Dyche, after a 2-2 draw against Man United. Carl believes the ball hadn’t crossed the line before Casemiro’s controversially awarded opening goal. Next up, another defeat for Wolves at Craven Cottage leaves relegation to the Championship looking increasingly likely, and Charlie asks: who would want to take Vítor Pereira's job? We then look to Tottenham, who were booed off at home after a 1-0 defeat to Maresca’s Chelsea. With images of Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven walking straight past Thomas Frank at full-time, is the Spurs boss losing the dressing room? And finally, we ask, who’s to blame for the revival of long-ball football? *At the time of recording, Vítor Pereira had not yet been dismissed from his position at Wolves.

Liverpool Lose Again | Resurgent Man United | Sunderland’s Super Start
Dharmesh Sheth is joined by John Cross, Riath Al-Samarrai and Jack Rosser to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We start with Liverpool’s fourth consecutive Premier League defeat — a run that John describes as “mind-blowing.” So, what’s gone wrong with their defence this season? Attention then shifts to Manchester United, who beat Brighton for a third consecutive win — the first under Ruben Amorim. Is this yet another false dawn, or does this one feel different? Riath remains unconvinced. Next up is West Ham United. After kicking off the weekend with a third straight league loss to Leeds, Jack doesn’t hold back — calling Nuno’s team “unbalanced, old, and slow.” We then move to league leaders Arsenal, flying high after six straight wins in all competitions and a dominant 4–0 midweek victory over Atlético Madrid. John says it’s shaping up to be a “spectacular” season for Arteta. We’re also joined by The Athletic’s Dermot Corrigan to chat all things El Clásico. For the first time, there’s major English involvement — Dermot highlights how Jude Bellingham has shone in previous clashes, and why Marcus Rashford could be crucial with Raphinha and Lewandowski out. Finally, a super start for newly promoted Sunderland, leaping to second in the Premier League after a dramatic win at Stamford Bridge, which had fans singing, “We’re going to win the league.” Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Ange Sacked | Brutally Efficient Arsenal | Beckham Bid
Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Liew, Martin Samuel and Dan Kilpatrick to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Forest’s sacking of Ange Postecoglou. Jonathan refers to his tenure as a disaster from start to finish, but does Ange have a future in the Premier League? Next, we look to Liverpool v Manchester United. Jonathan believes a direct approach, using longballs, is the best method to expose Liverpool’s defensive frailties and Dan suggests we’re seeing a transition in Slot’s side that was expected last season. We then turn to the title race and Arsenal’s away win at Craven Cottage; Jonathan is confident that Arsenal win the title this season, calling the set-piece winning goal “brutally efficient” and Martin compares this Arsenal to George Graham’s league-winning side. We also look at Erling Haaland’s incredible goalscoring record, with two goals in five minutes against Everton, and ask the question whether Manchester City are a little too reliant on the outstanding Norwegian this season? Finally, we look at talk of a “Beckham Bid” for Manchester United. Approached by UAE billionaires, David Beckham may be the face of a £5billion takeover bid. And whilst comparing both Man United and Liverpool’s models, we ask which is the bigger club? Running Order: 3mins – Ange Sacked 24mins – Liverpool v Man Utd 39mins – Title Race Chat 46mins – Haaland’s Goals 52mins – Man United Beckham Bid Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Ange Under Pressure | Downside of Multi-Club Ownership | Rashford Permanent Barca deal?
Vicky Gomersall is joined by Charlie Wyett, Jonathan Northcroft and The Athletic’s Jack Pitt-Brooke to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with looking at the pressure Ange Postecoglou is under. Jonathan questions whether Forest are worried about league position and want solidity. Charlie is surprised some of the fans have turned on Ange already. What’s gone so wrong for Ange? We then turn to England news, firstly to Jude Bellingham and the criticism he has received for his lack of presence with the press; Charlie questions whether he would be a good future England Captain but considers Declan Rice a better candidate. Then to Elliot Anderson, and Jack praises how natural he looks in a position so important to Tuchel’s side ahead of the World Cup. And on the UEFA committee’s meeting to revive interest in the International break, we ask whether the no-jeopardy games are too boring. We also look at The Telegraph’s story that Strasbourg have turned into a Chelsea feeder-club. Jonathan explains the fans’ reason to protest; how multi-club ownership can affect the lesser clubs involved and how the fans believe their identity is being diluted. Next, news that Barcelona want to sign Marcus Rashford on a permanent deal; Jonathan believes £25m is a great price in today’s market for the Spanish side, but bad-selling business from Man United. We move on to Mo Salah’s current form; Jack considers last season’s Liverpool playing to Salah’s strengths, whilst this year transitioning with Slot’s new signings and tactics. We then explore the story that Europe’s elite clubs answer to nobody as they carve up football’s billions. Jonathan criticises the distribution of funds, with £6billion coming in for Champions League sides, but lesser clubs not getting parity with very little filtering down to clubs missing out. And finally, we conclude this week’s pod on a sombre note, with the sad news that England Rugby star Lewis Moody is diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease. Running Order: 3mins – Ange Under Pressure 20mins – England News 38mins – Downside of Multi-Club Ownership 42mins – Rashford permanent Barca deal? 57mins – Europe’s elite clubs carve up football’s billions 61mins – Lewis Moody diagnosed with MND Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.
