Salah Farewell? | Arsenal Late Win | Maresca Drama

Will Perry is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Sam Dean and Jack Pitt-Brooke to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Mo Salah, asking whether his twenty-minute appearance against Brighton marked a Liverpool farewell before his departure for AFCON.  Next, we turn to Arsenal’s late home win over Wolves, with Jack asking whether their recent habit of conceding late goals reveals a vulnerability we didn’t see earlier in the season. We then move to the Ashes, with Adam Collins joining us to discuss how England’s performances have been perceived in Australia. Adam considers the tough conditions in the Adelaide heat for the third Test, and we ask whether England will make changes to the team. Finally, we look at Enzo Maresca’s dramatic comments after the win over Everton, describing it as his worst 48 hours since joining Chelsea. Jack felt the remarks came out of the blue and were notably vague, and while they didn’t appear to be aimed at the fans, we ask whether they reflected a deeper discontent with the club itself.    Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Salah Bombshell | Ashes Update | Villa stun Arsenal

Salah Bombshell | Ashes Update | Villa stun Arsenal Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Liew, Dan Kilpatrick and James Olley to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Mo Salah’s explosive interview, in which he hints at a breakdown in his relationship with Arne Slot and suggests he feels unwanted at the club after being benched again. Next, we turn to the Ashes, where England have finally shown some fight — but the question remains: why has it taken so long? Jonathan believes it’s a huge missed opportunity and compares England’s approach to “Ange-ball.” We then turn to the WSL, where we’re joined by Megan Feringa to ask what’s gone wrong for Arsenal’s Champions League winners. Megan believes the presence of so many high-profile players has led to an overreliance on individual brilliance rather than unity and a cohesive style of play. Next, we move on to the World Cup draw. While James criticises the politicisation of the event — highlighted by Donald Trump receiving a peace prize — we focus on England’s fixtures and travel itinerary. We then look at Arsenal’s defeat at Villa Park. James highlights the state of the squad, noting they used a sixth different centre-back pairing at the end of a gruelling run of fixtures. Are they starting to look vulnerable? Finally, it’s a tale of two Manchester sides. Manchester City’s dominant win over Sunderland has cut the title race gap to just two points, with Pep’s men looking like they still have gears to spare in the new year. Meanwhile, after Manchester United dropped another two points at home to West Ham in midweek, you have to ask: are the lower European spots the best Amorim’s team can realistically hope for this season?

Foden to the Rescue | Slot’s Struggles | Is it Arsenal’s time?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Miguel Delaney and Carl Anka to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Man City’s win over Leeds. Pep’s side left it late with a last-minute Foden winner, but are they truly convincing? Carl finds their style this season fun to watch, yet a bit too chaotic to win the title. Next, we turn to Spurs’ defeat to Fulham — their third loss of the week — and the boos told the story, as fans watched a side that has won only once at home all season. We then look at Liverpool, who have lost nine of their last twelve, and ask how realistic it is that the club makes a change with Arne Slot? Next, we move to The Ashes. With the second Test starting on Thursday, we speak to Adam Collins about how the Australian press views England’s inconsistency — and what they must do to avoid falling 2–0 behind. Finally, we turn to the Premier League title race with Chelsea vs Arsenal. Miguel is impressed by how suffocating and controlling Arsenal have been in the second halves of games. But while Chelsea aren’t as polished as Arteta’s side, can they genuinely challenge for the title?  Carl believes it’s Arsenal’s time. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Crisis-Hit Liverpool | Ashes Latest | Are Chelsea Contenders?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, Jason Burt and debutant Charlie Eccleshare to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with crisis-hit Liverpool. Their defeat to Forest at Anfield marked a sixth loss in seven matches, but is it too harsh for Mark to suggest that Arne Slot’s side is on track to become the worst defending champions in Premier League history? Attention then shifts to the Ashes, where we’re joined by Martin Samuel, reporting on an extraordinary opening two days in Perth. Following a chaotic and crushing defeat for England in the first Test — driven by a blistering century from Travis Head — Martin raises serious questions about England’s preparation and their batting order. We then turn to Manchester City, who suffered a 2–1 defeat at Newcastle, undone by a Harvey Barnes double. With a fourth league loss already this season, is Pep Guardiola’s side showing signs of vulnerability? And to what extent has Rodri’s absence contributed to their struggles? Next, we turn to F1 news, and the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where both McLaren cars were disqualified, costing Lando Norris his second-place finish and the 18 points that came with it. With only two events remaining, how will this reshape the picture? We then turn to Chelsea, who moved into second place with a 2–0 win at Burnley’s Turf Moor. Mark is surprised to see them so high in the table — but is he right to argue that they still don’t look like genuine title contenders? Finally, Adam Collins returns — in good spirits — to analyse England’s predictability in the Ashes first Test and their total collapse in the second innings. Will the challenge only intensify in ten days’ time as we head to Brisbane for a pink-ball Test? Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

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.
