Rob Jones is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Jonathan Northcroft and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We kick off with Newcastle’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup. Is Jonathan harsh to suggest the refereeing decisions in this game were some of the worst you’ll see? Next to Murrayfield, where a rejuvenated Scotland swept England aside with a 31-20 Calcutta Cup win, leaving any grand slam hopes for Steve Borthwick’s side gone. Also, we look at Manchester City’s 2–0 win over Salford, and we assess Phil Foden’s performance, considering whether he’s done enough to secure his place in the World Cup squad this summer. Then, Nottingham Forest: four managers in one season. We unpack Marinakis’ trigger-happy approach and the chaos of constantly changing managerial styles. Finally, Mansfield’s memorable night at Turf Moor, coming from behind to defeat Burnley. We examine Scott Parker’s controversial team changes and discuss what this result means for the Burnley manager moving forward. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.
