  • Old Trafford super stadium | Michael Oliver controversy | City win with debutants

    Old Trafford super stadium | Michael Oliver controversy | City win with debutants
    Jan 26 2025
    Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Mirror's Darren Lewis and Sky Sports News reporter Melissa Reddy to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

    We begin by looking at Manchester United, and news of government backing for an Old Trafford regeneration project; Darren explains plans for a 100,000 seater super stadium.

    Next to the title race. Arsenal were victorious at Wolves but Michael Oliver made himself the star of the show, after giving Myles Lewis-Skelly a controversial red card in the first half. Melissa believes it should have been a yellow card, and sees Arteta’s furious reaction as a buildup of bad decisions against Arsenal this season. Meanwhile, Melissa is impressed that Liverpool continue their relentless winning ways, and believes they’ll be hard to catch, despite a new manager and three of their biggest players out of contract in the summer.

    Finally, we look at Manchester City, who are back in a winning groove after beating Chelsea 3-1. Darren looks at Khusanov and Marmoush’s contrasting debuts, arguing that players need time to settle.

    Arsenal title blow | Return of Moyes | Pep surprise at Haaland deal
    Jan 19 2025
    Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Mirror's Darren Lewis and Sky Sports News reporter Paul Gilmore to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

    We begin by looking at the title race. With Darwin Nunez’ two late goals to win at Brentford and Arsenal blowing a two-goal lead at home, Paul mentions the depth of Liverpool’s squad and lack of injuries as reasons why Liverpool are clear favourites.

    Next we discuss Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham’s poor league form. Sitting in fifteenth position post-North London Derby loss, Paul mentions the club are trying a different route to the years of Conte and Mourinho and with a bad spell of injuries, Ange needs patience and unity.

    Elsewhere, Juliette Ferrington sits down with David Moyes, who says he always wanted to come back to Merseyside if the opportunity arose, and whilst he acknowledges he is returning to a different club, he’s also returning as “different Moyes.”

    Also, Natalie Gedra chats with Liam Delap, who talks of hitting the ground running in the Premier League, looking up to Erling Haaland and his aims to become an England International.

    Finally, David Craig’s exclusive interview with Pep Guardiola, who admits he was surprised Erling Haaland signed until 2034 and attributes his team’s dip in form to injuries alone.

  • Salah’s legacy season his last at Liverpool? | Amorim on ‘relegation form’ | Arsenal suffer slip at Brighton

    Salah’s legacy season his last at Liverpool? | Amorim on ‘relegation form’ | Arsenal suffer slip at Brighton
    Jan 5 2025
    Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Mirror's Darren Lewis and Sky Sports reporter Gary Cotterill to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

    We start with Patrick Davidson’s interview with Mo Salah, who says he listed winning the Premier League as his main goal before the season started, that he is far from any progress concerning his contract situation and that he regularly talks with Jurgen Klopp.

    Next to Arsenal, and after a seventh draw away at Brighton, Darren believes they need a Haaland-esque goal-scorer to get closer to Liverpool; and whilst unforunate, Saliba’s mis-timed header was correct to be given as a penalty.

    Elsewhere, David Craig sits down with Ruben Amorim, to talk of United’s ‘relegation form’ and the subsequent pressure from losing games. Amorim comments on the need to adapt tactically, his desire to be a parental figure to some of his players, and on not playing Rashford - “Marcus has to want it really, really bad.”

    Relegation-form Man City | Jesus stuns Palace | Heated Rashford debate | Ange Big Exclusive
    Dec 22 2024
    Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Mirror's Darren Lewis and Sky Sports senior reporter Melissa Reddy to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

    We start with Manchester City’s crisis after a defeat at Villa Park; a ninth loss in twelve matches but Melissa believes the most damning observation is it’s no longer a surprise.

    Next, Arsenal’s emphatic win at Crystal Palace. Gabriel Jesus’s five goals in four days contributes in a big way to Arsenal’s open-play goals, but star boy Bukayo Saka left Selhurst Park on crutches and will be a big miss.

    Then a heated debate, as Melissa and Darren argue over whether Marcus Rashford deserves greater criticism after stating he is ready for a new challenge.

    Elsewhere, David Craig sits down with Ange Postecoglu, who talks of Spurs being entertainers, his love of the team scoring goals and how “there may be a world in which we exist, where Jamie Carragher is wrong.”

    Dec 15 2024
    Rob Jones is joined by The Mirror's Darren Lewis and Sky Sports Chief Reporter Kaveh Solhekol to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

    We start with Manchester City, and with only one win in ten, Kaveh talks of Pep Guardiola being at tipping point. Juliette Ferrington sits down with the Manchester City boss, who says his players have had greater success than any team and would have won again this season had it not been for the relentless schedule of fixtures.

    Next to Liverpool, who came from behind with ten men to gain a point against Fulham. Was Robertson’s sending off incident a clear goal-scoring opportunity? Darren believes so, Kaveh disagrees, but both place Slot’s team clear title favourites.

    Also, with no goal in open play for five and half hours for Arsenal, Kaveh criticises Arteta for taking Odegaard off; will their failure to consistently score goals be their Achilles heel?

    Elsewhere, we discuss Gareth Southgate’s pending knighthood and issues with the Saudi World Cup.

    Finally, Natalie Gedra sits down with Kevin De Bruyne, who talks of City’s current struggle, an ageing side and being resilient to criticism.

    Next to Manchester City, who dropped points for the fifth time in six matches at Selhurst Park; Sam believes Rico Lewis’ red card challenge was reckless, but didn’t see this City downfall coming.

    Also, Patrick Davidson chats with Enzo Maresca, who talks of the Italian connection at Chelsea and chances of winning the Premier League this season.

    And finally, we have James Savundra’s interview with Ange Postecoglu, discussing the altercation with supporters and not having the squad to keep players accountable.

    Next, Juliette Ferrington sits down with Arne Slot. Slot talks of nerves upon arrival at Anfield, enjoying winning, and how much the team means to people in the city of Liverpool. We consider Mohamed Salah’s contract situation; Gary makes an argument that Salah deserves an extension, mentioning a number of footballers of a similar age making a difference.

    Finally, Patrick Davidson's exclusive interview with Pep Guardiola, who says “now it’s time to suffer." Pep knew this difficult period would eventually come, talking of challenges with injuries, and the importance of temporary struggle to realise past feats.
