On this episode, Harry Symeou reviews Arsenal's 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest. Mikel Arteta's Gunners missed the opportunity to extend their lead over Manchester City to a huge nine points. Sure, we've gained another point on Pep Guardiola's side who were beaten at Old Trafford on Saturday but it's fair to say Arsenal's performance at the City ground was well below the levels we've come to expect in recent seasons.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jack Pitt-Brooke, John Cross and Jack Rosser to break down the weekend's biggest football talking points.We start with the Manchester Derby, as Michael Carrick delivers a dream day at Old Trafford. United claimed a 2–0 win in a game where they had three goals ruled out, a Harry Maguire header off the bar, and an Amad Diallo post-hit late on.  Meanwhile, Pep's City struggled with defensive absentees and a dry-spell for Haaland, but are they out of the title race?Staying with the title race, we turn to Arsenal's goalless draw against Nottingham Forest. John argues it was a missed opportunity for Arteta's side, who had the chance to move nine points clear of Manchester City.  And we ask – should Arsenal have been awarded a penalty for Ola Aina's handball in the closing stages?And finally, attention then turns to Crystal Palace, following a bombshell interview from Oliver Glasner, in which the manager claims his squad has been abandoned by the club's hierarchy.Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Were Manchester United right to sack Ruben Amorim? Gary, Alan and Micah debate whether United need to follow the model of Manchester City, Arsenal and Aston Villa, backing long-serving managers with real influence over recruitment — and ask the big question: when will the problems at Old Trafford finally end?  Praise is also heaped on Keith Andrews at Brentford, who has enjoyed an outstanding season, with his side sitting 5th and just two points off the top four. The panel also discuss the cagey affair at the Emirates.

To close, we run through a rapid-fire YES or NO on potential managerial candidates and ask the big question:

Scott McTominay left a struggling Manchester United to become Serie A's Most Valuable Player, win the Scudetto for Napoli and be nominated for the Ballon D'Or - all in one year. Was he this good all along? Is he finally getting the respect he always deserved?This episode of Football Daily, hosted by football writer and Copa 90 presenter Eugene Noble, goes right back to the start of Scott McTominay's incredible story and explores the making of McTominay: How he grew from the Man Utd academy, to being taken under the wing of José Mourinho and performing on the international stage.We speak to the likes of Paul McGuinness and James Weir, coaches and players who knew him at the academy, as well as podcasters, pundits and fans such as Jay Motty, Joe Fischetti and Umberto Bernardo, who have tracked his career from Old Trafford to the Neapolitan sun.We also hear from football journalist Mina Rzouki about how Scott has transformed under Antonio Conte, as well as Scottish Legend and commentator Pat Nevin about how he is becoming a symbol for the nation in the blue shirt of Scotland. We even speak to Scotland head coach Steve Clarke about Scott's crucial role to the international team and a conversation that sparked Scott's career back into life.In 2026, McTominay is facing his biggest season yet: Napoli have a title to defend.

Academy kids thrown on as scapegoats while the system keeps failing. Even Matheus Cunha, who's been struggling all season, looked comfortable cutting through our defense.This isn't just frustrating anymore. This is a crisis. The results speak for themselves, and something has to change because this can't continue.Tap in for another painful breakdown of what's going wrong at Manchester United.

Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League after a 2–1 win over Brighton, but the performance once again raises familiar questions. The Gunners dominate large spells at the Emirates — racking up 2.8 xG, 24 shots and total territorial control — only to let the game drift into nervous territory late on, with David Raya forced into a crucial save to preserve the win.We break down a first half that should have put the game out of sight, including missed chances for Bukayo Saka and ongoing concerns around Arsenal's finishing. Martin Ødegaard scores his first goal of the season in trademark fashion, while Declan Rice adapts to an unfamiliar role and Arsenal's structure continues to generate chances without the ruthless edge to kill games.The second half sees a worrying 15-minute spell where Arsenal retreat, stop engaging high up the pitch, and invite Brighton back into the contest. We discuss Raya's intervention, the defensive adjustments that followed, and whether this “control then retreat” pattern is becoming a recurring issue.There's also frustration with refereeing decisions, including a controversial challenge on the goalkeeper and VAR inconsistencies across the weekend. We cover all the major talking points from Gameweek 17 in Whip Around the Grounds, with results from Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and more.In VARse, we analyse key officiating decisions from Old Trafford, the City Ground and Stamford Bridge, ranking what was contentious, what was ridiculous, and where the laws continue to be applied inconsistently.Finally, we look ahead to Arsenal vs Aston Villa. With Villa winning games while being outshot and outperforming their xG, and Arsenal struggling to convert dominance into comfort, we assess the tactical battle, injury concerns, likely line-ups, and what Mikel Arteta must get right this time around.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:40) – #ARSBHA Pre-Match, Injuries & the Return of Big Gabi(03:18) – Starting XI: Rice at Right Back?(04:52) – Stats, Arsenal Domination & Missed Early Chances(07:45) – Saka Shooting Volume vs End Product(12:12) – Ødegaard's First Goal of the Season(15:32) – Chances, xG and Why This Game Should've Been Dead(18:18) – Referee & Goalkeeper Challenge Controversy(21:42) – Second-Half Control & Set-Piece Pressure(24:42) – Brighton Goal: Freak Moment or Structural Issue?(27:26) – Fifteen-Minute Retreat & Loss of Engagement(28:06) – Raya's Match-Saving Intervention(30:02) – Martinelli's Impact, Late Chances & Full-Time Reflection(34:34) – Big Takeaways from the Brighton Win(38:37) – PT.2: Who Am I?

They dig into whether this is about tactics, mentality, recruitment, or all of the above, and what it says about Eddie Howe's evolving—or confused—identity for this team. There are a few bright spots, led by Lewis Hall's standout display, but attention quickly turns to a huge trip to Burnley that already feels must-win.

#952 | Manchester United beat Newcastle 1-0 at Old Trafford and nobody left feeling relaxed. Ed and Dharnish break down an exhausting win defined by one moment of quality and a lot of defensive survival. We talk through Patrick Dorgu's stunning volley, a first Premier League goal that settled the game early, before Newcastle spent the rest of the afternoon throwing everything at United. Injuries, makeshift selections, and long spells without the ball forced Ruben Amorim into a far more conservative second-half approach than planned. There's analysis of the changes after half-time and the decision to protect the lead rather than chase more goals. We also zoom out to the bigger picture: what this result says about United's season, Amorim's risk tolerance, and how January squad questions are becoming harder to avoid. 00:00 Introduction 01:59 First-half setup, tempo, and United's early control 05:17 Second-half siege mentality and defensive reshuffle 11:05 Individual performances 18:54 Amorim's in-game management and tactical compromises 36:27 Press conferences, messaging, and narrative 43:44 Wolves next and what this win means for the season If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Hello! Mark and Andrew return to discuss Newcastle United's one-nil defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. It was a frustrating night in the North West - and one where the Toon Army will feel angry they didn't come away with something. To be honest, they created very little but they dominated possession in the second half and should have hit Man United harder but failed to do so. So why didn't they?

After a busy week for Ruben Amorim following Kobbie Mainoo's brother protesting about the lack of playing time and/or opportunities to move away from the club and a defeat at Aston Villa, Rio is joined by Ste and Joel to dissect those points and the title race.Rio admits Kobbie is doing himself “a disservice” if he isn't getting onto the manager asking how he can get into the team and discusses with Ste whether there is a way back for the England midfielder at Old Trafford.Morgan Rogers had two game defining “world class moments” and after one of the trio admit they don't see what the fuss is all about, Rio breaks down the goals and analyses who and what should have done better.There's some advice for (and a defence of) Leny Yoro, admission that some of the current squad “aren't good enough” to cope with the defensive demands at Manchester United and a warning for Bukayo Saka who said that Arsenal were “in control” of the title race as they spend Christmas at the top of the table.

#947 | Ed and Dan react to a breathless, chaotic 4–4 draw that managed to be both exhilarating and deeply exposing. They break down United's aggressive pressing, fluid attacking movement, and how the side functioned without a recognised striker, while also confronting the defensive fragility that turned control into volatility. The discussion moves through tactical trade-offs, shape-shifting between a back three and a back four, and the consequences of those choices under pressure. Individual performances are assessed in detail, including Amad's influence, Bruno Fernandes' authority, and Casemiro's role. There's also scrutiny of managerial decisions, the impact of Afcon, and what this match says about the limits of flexibility versus structure. The episode closes by looking ahead to Aston Villa, weighing likely selections, priorities, and how much adjustment this squad can realistically absorb. 00:00 First impressions from a chaotic 4–4
