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.

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.

Meanwhile, the panel debate the threshold for a crowd chanting "we want [X number of goals]" and respond to a brunch cafe's "come and try us" plea.

AC Milan kicked off the new year in style as they fought back from 2-0 down to beat rivals Inter 3-2 in the Supercoppa over in Saudi Arabia as new boss Sérgio Conceição got off to the perfect start. Meanwhile, back on home soil Roma continued their resurgence under Claudio Ranieri with a 2-0 victory in the derby with Lazio. In La Liga the Dani Olmo debacle rumbles on… He’s with Barcelona in Saudi Arabia, but he’s not eligible to play after Spain's football authorities rejected the club’s attempt to register the midfielder. On the pitch, Jude Bellingham atoned for his missed penalty with a 95th-minute winner as 10-man Real Madrid snatched a dramatic victory at Valencia to move top of the table. And in France, PSG picked up the first silverware of the season courtesy of Ousmane Dembele’s stoppage-time winner in their 1-0 victory over Monaco in the Trophée des Champions over in Doha. Back in Ligue 1, Marseille closed the gap at the top of the table to 7 points courtesy of their big 5-1 win over Le Havre.

Jimbo’s got Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and James Horncastle alongside him for a deep dive into a fascinating weekend of action across the continent. It’s fair to say the Serie A title race is hotting up, with just two points separating Napoli in first and Juventus in sixth! That’s after Inter and Napoli shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at the San Siro, while Atalanta, Fiorentina, Lazio and Juve all picked up big wins. Real Madrid clawed back some ground in the La Liga title race after their 4-0 win over Osasuna which included a hat-trick for Vinicius, a first goal of the season for Jude Bellingham - and a devastating injury for Eder Militao. They’re now six points behind Barcelona with a game in hand after Hansi Flick’s side fell to only their second league defeat of the season at Real Sociedad in controversial circumstances... Bayern Munich find themselves five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table after their 1-0 win over St Pauli courtesy of Jamal Musiala's sensational strike. Meanwhile, Dortmund’s horror start to the season rumbled on with a 3-1 defeat at Mainz - and Leverkusen’s week to forget continued as they were held by Bochum. And in Ligue 1, it’s business as usual for PSG who continued their unbeaten start to the season in a 4-2 win over Angers. Not such smooth sailing for Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille, beaten 3-1 by newly promoted Auxerre at the Velodrome which prompted the former Brighton boss to say he’ll ‘leave the money and hand back my contract’. *** We’ve been nominated for Podcast of the Year at the 2024 Football Supporters’ Association Awards!

Adam Hurrey is joined by David Walker and Nick Miller for the latest Euro 2024 Adjudication Panel. The agenda includes: which player is at the front of the England clamour queue now, Jude Bellingham's self-referential goal celebration, the joy of Ally McCoist reacting to slow-motion replays, which Euros nations' capital-city streets are most likely to be "danced on", the transferrable football skill of "bending your run" in daily life and some concerning news about Mexican waves. Meanwhile, the panel ponder the acceptability of the tournament-exit verb "grouped" and whether anything can be "vintage Lamine Yamal". Learn more about your ad choices.

England have squeezed through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 thanks in part to a moment of genius from who else but Jude Bellingham. It was an underwhelming performance, but post match the England midfielder silenced critics. So, does it matter how England play as long as they win?

Marcus, Luke and Jim get their heart rates down long enough to recap a truly absurd game of football, as England scrape past Slovakia more by luck than judgement.

Elsewhere, Spain remind us of how sexy football can be, Georgia bow out heroically and the Belgians have banned their French neighbours from honking ahead of tonight’s game.

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse recap the thrilling comebacks in the Euros Round of 16, as well as Mexico and Jamaica’s elimination from Copa América Group B. England escaped an early knockout round exit, with a Jude Bellingham bicycle late in second half stoppage time. Slovakia led 1-0 for most of the match, but after leveling the score Harry Kane’s header claimed the Three Lions victory. Spain also came back from being down 1-0, scoring 4 unanswered goals to advance. Mexico failed to make it out of the group for the third time in their last four Copa América appearances. A win on the night would have clinched their spot in the quarterfinals. (3:03) To wrap the show, Alexi gives his motivational speech to the USMNT as they take on Uruguay tomorrow evening and try to advance out of their group.

One word to describe England’s win over Serbia: eeeeeeeeaaazayyyyyyy! A few more words you could use: a conservative, cautionary reminder of England teams of old that might serve them well in games to come. Luke and Andy are on hand to reassure Marcus and Jim after England battled through against a physical, handy Serbian side. We talk Jude Bellingham, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and whether England are conservative or controlling.

And there's debate on the likely starting eleven for the Serbia game on Sunday and James suspects it may surprise. Coverage of the left-back problem, the solutions to finding the best midfield partner for Declan Rice, if Phil Foden should start on the left and plenty more including the tabloid reaction to Friday, England's problem with the press, but why Jude Bellingham's return will help fix it.

Marcus and Luke are back with the second edition of Lions Watch before Euro 2024!
