Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Liew, Charlie Eccleshare and Charlie Wyett to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with Luke Littler’s emphatic victory over Gian van Veen at Alexandra Palace, securing back-to-back World Darts Championship titles. Are we still underestimating just how good Littler is — and could he one day surpass Phil Taylor’s record of 14 world titles?

Attention then turns to the Premier League, as Arsenal edge Bournemouth 3–2. A dominant Declan Rice performance, including a brace, helped extend their lead at the top to six points in a fixture that saw them stumble last season following William Saliba’s red card. Have Arsenal learned the lessons from last year’s title run-in?

Next, we turn our attention to the Ashes as England close Day One of the fifth Test. We cross live to Sydney to speak with Adam Collins, who highlights the key partnership between Harry Brook and Joe Root. The discussion also covers Usman Khawaja’s retirement, with the Australian speaking about continuing to challenge racial stereotypes within the game.

We then discuss Aston Villa’s impressive form, which has kept them within six points of Arsenal. While Charlie isn’t convinced they’re in the title race, he’s impressed by their performances following the modest work done in the summer.

Finally, we’re joined by Gary Cotterill, who reports on Strasbourg’s 1-1 draw at Nice, before bringing the latest as Chelsea close in on Liam Rosenior.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, John Cross and Jason Burt to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We start with Arsenal’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brighton, sealed by a stunning David Raya save, that kept them top of the league. But are Arsenal beginning to feel the pressure?

The focus then shifts to The Ashes, where England finally claimed a Test win in Australia—but John believes it was a hollow victory played out on a dreadful pitch.

Next up is Aston Villa’s superb run of eleven consecutive wins. A 2–1 victory at Stamford Bridge has moved them to within three points of league leaders Arsenal—but with Unai Emery’s side consistently outperforming their xG, can they keep this run going?

Finally, we turn to Liverpool’s 2–1 victory over bottom-of-the-table Wolves. With his first league goal of the season, we ask: has the real Florian Wirtz arrived in the Premier League?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Martin Samuel, Dominic King and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We start with The Ashes, as Australia defeat England in the third Test in Adelaide to seal the series. Martin labels it a “crushing disappointment” for England, while Julien points out this wasn’t even Australia at full strength. Adam Collins joins the show to praise a dominant Australian performance and predicts a 5–0 whitewash.

We then move to Liverpool’s dramatic 2–1 win over nine-man Spurs. Dominic questions Isak’s underwhelming spell after another injury, while Julien points to lingering defensive problems. 

Next, we ask where Spurs are heading, as Julien argues it’s hard to see what Thomas Frank is trying to do.

Also, Manchester United’s chaos continues after a 4–4 draw with Bournemouth, prompting debate over whether Amorim has got it wrong on Kobbie Mainoo and his role in the team.

Finally, we turn to the title race: is the pressure mounting on Arsenal? Top of the league but unconvincing, and with Gyökeres’ form in doubt, we ask who should lead the line when fully fit? And after a 3–0 win over West Ham, Man City look dominant in the title chase. Dom says, in a head-to-head, you’d pick Guardiola over Arteta every time.

Will Perry is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Sam Dean and Jack Pitt-Brooke to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with Mo Salah, asking whether his twenty-minute appearance against Brighton marked a Liverpool farewell before his departure for AFCON. 

Next, we turn to Arsenal’s late home win over Wolves, with Jack asking whether their recent habit of conceding late goals reveals a vulnerability we didn’t see earlier in the season.

We then move to the Ashes, with Adam Collins joining us to discuss how England’s performances have been perceived in Australia. Adam considers the tough conditions in the Adelaide heat for the third Test, and we ask whether England will make changes to the team.

Finally, we look at Enzo Maresca’s dramatic comments after the win over Everton, describing it as his worst 48 hours since joining Chelsea. Jack felt the remarks came out of the blue and were notably vague, and while they didn’t appear to be aimed at the fans, we ask whether they reflected a deeper discontent with the club itself.

Salah Bombshell | Ashes Update | Villa stun Arsenal

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Liew, Dan Kilpatrick and James Olley to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with Mo Salah’s explosive interview, in which he hints at a breakdown in his relationship with Arne Slot and suggests he feels unwanted at the club after being benched again.

Next, we turn to the Ashes, where England have finally shown some fight — but the question remains: why has it taken so long? Jonathan believes it’s a huge missed opportunity and compares England’s approach to “Ange-ball.”

We then turn to the WSL, where we’re joined by Megan Feringa to ask what’s gone wrong for Arsenal’s Champions League winners. Megan believes the presence of so many high-profile players has led to an overreliance on individual brilliance rather than unity and a cohesive style of play.

Next, we move on to the World Cup draw. While James criticises the politicisation of the event — highlighted by Donald Trump receiving a peace prize — we focus on England’s fixtures and travel itinerary.

We then look at Arsenal’s defeat at Villa Park. James highlights the state of the squad, noting they used a sixth different centre-back pairing at the end of a gruelling run of fixtures. Are they starting to look vulnerable?

Finally, it’s a tale of two Manchester sides. Manchester City’s dominant win over Sunderland has cut the title race gap to just two points, with Pep’s men looking like they still have gears to spare in the new year. Meanwhile, after Manchester United dropped another two points at home to West Ham in midweek, you have to ask: are the lower European spots the best Amorim’s team can realistically hope for this season?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Miguel Delaney and Carl Anka to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with Man City’s win over Leeds. Pep’s side left it late with a last-minute Foden winner, but are they truly convincing? Carl finds their style this season fun to watch, yet a bit too chaotic to win the title.

Next, we turn to Spurs’ defeat to Fulham — their third loss of the week — and the boos told the story, as fans watched a side that has won only once at home all season.

We then look at Liverpool, who have lost nine of their last twelve, and ask how realistic it is that the club makes a change with Arne Slot?

Next, we move to The Ashes. With the second Test starting on Thursday, we speak to Adam Collins about how the Australian press views England’s inconsistency — and what they must do to avoid falling 2–0 behind.

Finally, we turn to the Premier League title race with Chelsea vs Arsenal. Miguel is impressed by how suffocating and controlling Arsenal have been in the second halves of games. But while Chelsea aren’t as polished as Arteta’s side, can they genuinely challenge for the title?  Carl believes it’s Arsenal’s time.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, Jason Burt and debutant Charlie Eccleshare to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with crisis-hit Liverpool. Their defeat to Forest at Anfield marked a sixth loss in seven matches, but is it too harsh for Mark to suggest that Arne Slot’s side is on track to become the worst defending champions in Premier League history?

Attention then shifts to the Ashes, where we’re joined by Martin Samuel, reporting on an extraordinary opening two days in Perth. Following a chaotic and crushing defeat for England in the first Test — driven by a blistering century from Travis Head — Martin raises serious questions about England’s preparation and their batting order.

We then turn to Manchester City, who suffered a 2–1 defeat at Newcastle, undone by a Harvey Barnes double. With a fourth league loss already this season, is Pep Guardiola’s side showing signs of vulnerability? And to what extent has Rodri’s absence contributed to their struggles?

Next, we turn to F1 news, and the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where both McLaren cars were disqualified, costing Lando Norris his second-place finish and the 18 points that came with it. With only two events remaining, how will this reshape the picture?

We then turn to Chelsea, who moved into second place with a 2–0 win at Burnley’s Turf Moor. Mark is surprised to see them so high in the table — but is he right to argue that they still don’t look like genuine title contenders?

Finally, Adam Collins returns — in good spirits — to analyse England’s predictability in the Ashes first Test and their total collapse in the second innings. Will the challenge only intensify in ten days’ time as we head to Brisbane for a pink-ball Test?

Rob Jones is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Martin Samuel and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin by looking at England’s unbeaten World Cup qualification. But is Jacqui right to think that, while praise is due, Tuchel’s real test will be winning the tournament itself?

Attention then turns to Scotland. After their 3–2 loss to Greece, everything now comes down to Tuesday night at Hampden, where they host Denmark and hope to top the group with a win.

We move on to Wales, who beat Liechtenstein to draw level on points with second-placed North Macedonia and now look to reach the play-offs by beating them on Tuesday.

Next, we turn to England’s impressive win against the All Blacks. Martin highlights George Ford’s two drop goals in a 33–19 performance that indicates Steve Borthwick’s approach is bearing fruit.

We’re then joined by Adam Collins to preview the Ashes. With just five days to go, Australia are without both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, and Adam believes the key will be how quickly England hit the ground running.

And finally, we’re joined by Rob Dorsett, who discusses all things England with John Cross and Jason Burt in Tirana ahead of Albania v England.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Northcroft, Craig Hope and Jonathan Liew to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with league leaders Arsenal, who were held to an entertaining 2–2 draw at the Stadium of Light after a dramatic last-minute equaliser from Brian Brobbey. Was this a chink in the armour for Arteta’s side? Jonathan believes Arsenal earned a valuable point given their injury problems in attack.

Attention then turns to Chelsea’s commanding win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge. Booed off at half-time but second in the table at full-time, Jonathan admits he’s still not sure what to make of Chelsea this season — and with only two points this season, are Wolves already staring down the barrel of Championship football next year?

We move on to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Manchester United salvaged a late equaliser in a frantic 2–2 draw.  Is Craig harsh to suggest it felt like a game where both teams lost?

Next up, with just twelve days until The Ashes, we’re joined by cricket broadcaster Adam Collins to preview the series. While much of the focus is on the prolific form of Australia’s Steve Smith, we ask whether England are well placed to take the first Test. And Jonathan Liew finds himself compared to a certain England cricketer…

And finally, a huge Super Sunday fixture between Manchester City and Liverpool may be key to Premier League title hopes.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Charlie Wyett, Dominic King and Carl Anka to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We start with Liverpool’s much needed victory against Aston Villa; the shocking run is over, but is this a real turning point for Liverpool? 

Attention then shifts to Arsenal’s win at Burnley. Charlie praises Gyokeres’ impressive first half, and after a ninth win and seventh consecutive clean sheet, Carl suggests stopping Arsenal is going to be very hard. 

Then we turn to an unhappy Sean Dyche, after a 2-2 draw against Man United.  Carl believes the ball hadn’t crossed the line before Casemiro’s controversially awarded opening goal.

Next up, another defeat for Wolves at Craven Cottage leaves relegation to the Championship looking increasingly likely, and Charlie asks: who would want to take Vítor Pereira's job?

We then look to Tottenham, who were booed off at home after a 1-0 defeat to Maresca’s Chelsea. With images of Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven walking straight past Thomas Frank at full-time, is the Spurs boss losing the dressing room?

And finally, we ask, who’s to blame for the revival of long-ball football?

*At the time of recording, Vítor Pereira had not yet been dismissed from his position at Wolves.

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.”

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

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Julien Laurens, Jacqui Oatley and The Telegraph’s Jason Burts to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with Chelsea’s last-minute win over Liverpool at the Bridge.  Whilst Laurens praises Maresca’s victory and show of emotion, he criticises Liverpool’s lack of control, with a third loss in eight days. Jason believes Liverpool’s winning start to the season was unsustainable and considers it a missed opportunity that they didn’t buy Marc Guehi in the summer.

Next we look to Man United’s home win over Sunderland; whilst Julien focuses on Amorim’s side’s lack of consistency, was this clean sheet and good performance a sign of things to come? 

We then have The Athletic’s Megan Feringa on the pod to talk WSL; how far can Manchester United go this season?  And with Arsenal dropping seven points already in the WSL, after bringing in Olivia Smith, why is it they can’t get over the line in the league in the same way the likes of Chelsea are able to?

We also look at Arsenal’s win against West Ham, taking them to the top of the Premier League and Julien believes the Gunners’ control gave Nuno’s side no chance of winning the game.

Finally, a gritty win for Tottenham against Leeds showed Thomas Frank’s ability to bring a different side to Spurs; Jason believes Frank can get them back in to the top four this season.  

Running Order:

3mins – Liverpool Lose 3-in-a-row
20mins – United Back to Winning Ways
38mins – Megan Feringa on WSL 
46mins – Arsenal Rise to the Top
65mins – Frank’s New-Look Spurs

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, The Times’ Charlotte Duncker and The Daily Mail’s Riath Al-Samarrai.

We begin with Arsenal’s convincing win over Forest at the Emirates; was this performance the sign of things to come?  Miguel emphasises Arteta’s impressive squad depth, and Riath praises Gyokeres, with three goals in his first four league games.

Next we look at Newcastle’s new signing Nick Woltemade, who helped Eddie Howe’s side to a win against Wolves on his debut.  Riath believes Woltemade will bring the best out of the player’s around him. 

We then have The Athletic’s James Pearce on to the pod, highlighting Isak’s arrival at Liverpool as an exciting option for more rotation in Arne Slot’s side this year.

Elsewhere, we look at Tottenham’s thrashing of West Ham; Riath comments on Thomas Frank’s fantastic start to the season and Miguel talks of Frank’s ability to adapt tactics and use pragmaticism effectively.

Finally, we look at the Manchester Derby; Charlotte mentions that whilst Pep hasn’t had the best start, Ruben Amorim’s problems are significantly worse.  The Athletic’s Carl Anker joins us to talk Amorim’s tactics and believes this game may suit his style a little more.  

Running Order:
3min Arsenal’s Impressive Squad Depth 
23mins Woltemade’s Electric Start 
30mins The Athletic’s James Pearce on Liverpool
39mins Frank’s Flying Start 
50mins Manchster Derby

Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Telegraph’s Jason Burt, The Sunday Times’ Jonathan Northcroft and sports broadcaster Jacqui Oatley to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with England’s struggle to entertain against Andorra. Jonathan praises Anderson and Madueke but Jacqui questions whether England are on track, as fans need to believe they can win, ahead of the World Cup next year.

Next to Daniel Levy’s Spurs exit.  Jonathan talks of the ex-Tottenham Chairman’s longevity, but will Levy’s twenty-four-year stint in charge be seen as a success, with an ultimate failure to reach the glory of the bigger trophies?

Then we’re joined by The Athletic’s Megan Feringa to talk WSL; £1m signing Alyssa Thompson joins an already-strong Chelsea side, favourites to become champions again.  And Megan praises Arsenal’s display against London City, particularly Olivia Smith’s long-range goal to help Renee Slegers’ side make a winning start to the season

Finally, back to England, and has Tuchel underestimated his job?  Jonathan thinks Tuchel has learnt from his first few games in charge, understanding you can’t overcomplicate the tactical side of international football, with the lack of time to practice with his players.  

Running Order:
4mins England Struggle to Entertain
22mins Levy Shock Spurs Exit 
42mins WSL favourites and signings
53mins Tuchel’s Tactics
