Sunday Supplement

Hannah Wilkes is joined by Miguel Delaney, Jacqui Oatley and Martin Samuel to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.
We kick off with Manchester United’s humbling 2-0 defeat to Hull. Jacqui believes it was the manner of the defeat that should concern United most, with questions being raised over Michael Carrick’s side lacking intensity and appearing underprepared. But is Martin right to suggest United simply weren’t willing to work hard enough?
We then turn to Spurs, who have spent big in the summer transfer market and enjoyed a full pre-season under Roberto De Zerbi — only to lose their opening game 3-0 to Brentford. Is Miguel right to describe the result as classically Spurs?
Then to the champions, who beat Coventry convincingly 3-0 on Friday. With a refreshed Saka and an even stronger squad available to rotate, are we likely to see Arteta take the handbrake off this season and unleash a more attacking Arsenal side?
Finally, we turn to Liverpool, who, following Curtis Jones’ departure, are without a homegrown player in their first team for the first time in 134 years. Miguel explores the importance of clubs staying connected to their communities, and whether there should be a greater emphasis on homegrown talent and giving academy players a pathway into the first team.

For the final Sunday Supplement of the season, we're joined by Dominic King, Jack Rosser and Carl Anka to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.
We begin by discussing Arsenal’s Champions League final loss to PSG on penalties, despite taking an early lead through Havertz. Jack assesses the result in the context of a strong season under Arteta, who led the club to its first Premier League title in over two decades.
We’re then joined by Jamie Carragher live from Budapest to discuss the news of Arne Slot’s departure from Liverpool. While Dominic admits he was surprised by the announcement, he reflects on the subdued atmosphere at Anfield in recent matches as we explore why sporting director Hughes ultimately decided to part ways with Slot.
Finally, we look ahead to the World Cup, discussing Thomas Tuchel’s plans for East Coast preparation and the logistical challenges of the tournament. We also debate whether leaving Harry Maguire out of the squad could prove to be a costly decision.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Martin Samuel, Miguel Delaney and John Cross to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.
We kick things off with a relegation battle that’s gone right down to the final day of the Premier League season. Spurs host Everton while West Ham take on Leeds, and one of those clubs will be playing Championship football next year. Is Miguel right to say Spurs should never have found themselves in this position?
Next, we bid farewell to Pep Guardiola after a glorious decade that delivered 17 major trophies. Martin calls Pep football’s ultimate cheat code, while Miguel tackles pending charges still looming over Manchester City.
And finally, to Arsenal, crowned champions for the first time in 22 years. John applauds their consistency, set-piece prowess and resilience, while Miguel praises the job Mikel Arteta has done since arriving at the club. But is he right to argue that Arteta’s 2023–24 side was actually stronger than this title-winning team?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Jason Burt and Mark Ogden to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.
We kick things off with Man City’s FA Cup win, edging Chelsea 1-0, as Chelsea appoint Xabi Alonso as their new manager; is Jason right to suggest they’ve lucked out with Alonso? We also consider Antoine Semenyo’s stunning strike as the difference in a final that lacked drama, and discuss how City’s experience once again helped them get over the line.
Next stop, a dramatic climax to the Scottish Premiership title race, with Celtic pipping Hearts right at the death amid chaotic scenes. We discuss the fallout at full time, a less-than-satisfactory version of VAR, and the controversial midweek decision — before asking whether the arrival of Tony Bloom could turn Hearts into a genuine third force in Scottish football.
Next, to news that Michael Carrick is set to get the Manchester United job on a permanent basis. Danyal Khan joins us from Old Trafford to reflect on Casemiro’s farewell and Carrick’s final home game of the season — but just how excited should United fans be by news of his potential two-year contract extension?
Finally, another damaging defeat for Liverpool on Friday night, conceding four against Aston Villa and limping over the line for Champions League qualification. To add insult to injury, Salah appears to take a swipe at Arne Slot with a social media post calling for a return to “heavy metal football”, with several players also liking the post.
