Arsenal suffered a dramatic 3–2 loss to Manchester United at the Emirates which raised serious questions about their title credentials. With Manchester City and Aston Villa both winning, Arsenal's lead at the top is now at just four points. Did Arsenal self-destruct in the second half? And with Pep Guardiola's City lurking, what does this mean for the title race?Tottenham's struggles continued with a 2–2 draw away at Burnley, leaving them just eight points above the relegation zone. Are Spurs genuinely in a relegation battle, and with pressure mounting on Thomas Frank, is he running out of time?Last week whilst on Champions League commentary, Theo Walcott asked Wayne Rooney whether the Man United 07/08 side could take on this season's Arsenal side which Rooney replied with no hesitation: ‘we'd batter them.' The boys compare both sides to ask if Wayne Rooney was right?Adam and Buvey are joined by Miles and Jordy to break it all down in the latest episode of The Club.
Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, Carl Anka and Sam Dean to break down the weekend's biggest football talking points.We begin at Spurs after a frustrating 2–2 draw against Burnley. With boos ringing out from the away fans at Turf Moor, is time starting to run out for Thomas Frank? Carl notes - “Theres' no right way to win but there are different ways you can fail. And the way Thomas Frank is failing right now isn't appealing to the Spurs fan base.”We move on to Liverpool after a dramatic defeat at Bournemouth. Fans are losing patience with Arne Slot, and Sam says the squad is unbalanced — with Virgil van Dijk really struggling.Next, it's the Etihad, where even a 2–0 win over Wolves couldn't keep Pep Guardiola happy, as he criticised referee Farai Hallam for denying Manchester City a penalty. Finally, we turn to Arsenal vs Manchester United and ask: have the Gunners offered United a blueprint for how to walk their way out of the wasteland?Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

In this episode, we break down the clinical January acquisition of Marc Guéhi, a move that might just be the bargain of the decade for Pep Guardiola. We explore how Manchester City snatched the Crystal Palace captain for a mere £20 million—beating out giants like Liverpool and Arsenal in the process. We analyze Guéhi's elite ball-playing stats, his "cool-under-pressure" defensive style that made him an England mainstay, and how his arrival solves City's looming injury crisis. From leading Palace to FA Cup glory to anchoring the defense at the Etihad, we ask: has Pep just secured the missing piece for another European charge?

Patrick and Ted break down a packed football week, starting with the latest transfer rumours and what they tell us about the plans taking shape at some of the Premier League's biggest clubs. We discuss Chelsea's openness to selling Enzo Fernandez, Manchester United's interest in Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson, whether Ruben Neves could be a realistic midfield option, and what Manchester City's January activity says about their looming rebuild. Then we move onto the weekend's standout result as Manchester United beat Manchester City. What went wrong for Pep Guardiola, how Michael Carrick set his team up, and whether this performance signals a genuine shift at Old Trafford. Next, we examine Arsenal's draw at Nottingham Forest and the growing conversation around their attack. Are these real warning signs or simply the reality of competing in a deeper and more physically demanding Premier League. We also turn to Tottenham and Thomas Frank. Why his Spurs project has struggled to take shape, how much of that is down to personnel, and whether the club is already nearing another reset. Plus a look at the AFCON final and why this year's tournament has once again delivered drama.

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.

It's been a week of excellent cup victories for Manchester City. To celebrate, David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell from Sporting News and City fan Chris Higginbottom. They discuss the 10-1 win over Exeter and then the 2-0 success in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal at Newcastle.It was the first time since 1987 that City scored double-figures in a game and, strangely, the scoreline matched the date (for only the 18th time in City's history)... but it was a remarkable bit of history-making from Pep Guardiola's side. At the same time, City were also on the receiving end of a VAR controversy, as the video assistant took five-and-a-half minutes to disallow what seems to be a perfectly reasonable goal at St James's Park.With trips to Manchester United and Bodø/Glimt to come, we hear from Jay Mottershead from The Stretford Paddock and Norwegian journalist covering Glimt, Stian Høgland to get some idea of what City can expect this week.Plus, as young players like Max Alleyne and Ryan McAidoo impress, we discuss what options Guardiola has for the upcoming games and how necessary it is for the club to move again in the transfer market this month, as Antoine Semenyo settles in very nicely.==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Robert Lewandowski is one of the most consistent goal scorers of his generation, a player who has stayed at the very top of world football not just through talent, but through mindset. In this episode, Robert sits down with Jake and Damian to explain why he believes mentality counts for more than physical ability, and how players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have sustained excellence for so long.From losing his father to being released early on, he describes the moments that forced him to build self-belief, resilience, and an uncompromising work ethic. He also talks about adapting as football evolves, learning from different cultures at Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and why even the modern elite, players like Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, can't escape the need for constant growth.Lewandowski explains why he avoids social media, how online judgement impacts younger players, and why protecting mental health is his personal “golden rule.” Drawing on lessons from managers like Jürgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, and Hansi Flick, he shares the core values that have shaped his career: honesty, hard work, and never giving up.This is a rare insight into what it really takes to perform, adapt, and endure at the highest level, without losing yourself along the way.
