    Palace Stun City at Wembley | Arteta On Summer Transfers And Silverware | Europa League Final
    May 18 2025
    Preview Hayley McQueen is joined by The Mirror’s Darren Lewis and Sky Sports News’ Ben Ransom to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

    We begin with Crystal Palace’s victory over Man City at Wembley. Darren praises Henderson’s outstanding goalkeeping performance, but should Palace’s goalkeeper have been sent off?

    Next, James Savundra sits down with Mikel Arteta to talk pressure to deliver silverware and his summer transfer plans. Arteta believes it’s injuries and red cards as the main reasons Arsenal failed to win the Premier League title this year.

    Elsewhere, with Everton’s last game in their historic home stadium, we say goodbye to Goodison Park. We also preview the Europa League Final, showcasing two teams struggling with league form. Ben believes Manchester United will get the win, but a huge summer rebuild is needed. Darren suggests Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou part ways regardless of the result.

    Finally, Keith Downie talks with a jovial Bruno Guimaraes about his future and desire to win the Premier League.

    Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Mirror’s Darren Lewis and Chief Football Writer for The Independent Miguel Delaney to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

    We begin with Champions Liverpool, and Miguel praises a free-scoring season for them, with a points tally that could amount to over 90, and an impressive ability to keep their key players fit.

    Next to Manchester United, after a statement win midweek against Athletic Bilbao. Darren applauds an ‘outstanding’ Bruno Fernandes, helping United remain the only unbeaten English team in Europe this season.

    Elsewhere, Harriet Prior sits down with Bruno Guimaraes to talk his Olympics win, lifting his first domestic trophy with Newcastle and future ambitions with club and country. Miguel sees Newcastle finishing in the top five, despite a tough final few fixtures, but who else will finish in the Premier League’s top five?

    Champions League race | Timber Interview | Carragher and Slot
    Apr 20 2025
    Vicky Gomersall is joined by Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cotterill and The Sunday Times Chief Football Writer Jonathan Northcroft to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

    We begin by looking at the Premier League title race, with Liverpool in touching distance to secure the title. How important will Virgil Van Dijk’s new contract be? Gary believes Van Dijk is the greatest centre back since Vincent Kompany, but do Liverpool need to spend big in summer?

    Next, Daniel Khan sits down with Ruud Van Nistlerooy to talk about Leicester’s difficult position, the standards being set and plans for the future.

    Elsewhere, we discuss the race for the Champions League spots, looking at Aston Villa’s 4-1 win at home over Newcastle and Olly Watkin’s post-match interview, claiming he was “fuming” to be left on the bench against PSG. Gary and Jonathan both think Forest are the team to miss out on the Champions League for next season.

    Also, Joe Thomlinson interviews Jurrien Timber about the win over Real Madrid and a personal battle won against Vinicius Jr, and the elite level defence Arsenal have created this season.

    We then discuss Tottenham, after they’ve reached the Europa League semi-finals. Gary thinks Ange is a man who looks like he’s feeling the pressure and believes a lot of Tottenham fans think he’ll be gone win or lose in the semi-finals.

    We end with two more interviews; Jamie Carragher sits down with Arne Slot to talk about Salah and Van Dijk’s contract renewals, Trent being back on the pitch, and the title coming to a close. And James Cole chats with Mikel Arteta about defeating Madrid, and carrying form in to the league.

    Apr 13 2025
    Vicky Gomersall and The Mirror's Darren Lewis are joined by Sky Sports Reporter, Dharmesh Sheth, to debate the biggest sporting headlines of the week.

    We start by looking back on Kevin De Bruyne’s masterclass in Manchester City’s 5-2 win against Crystal Palace. The panel discuss the 33 year old’s upcoming move away from the Etihad, where his future might lie and who might replace him at City.

    From a player leaving one club to another who is staying, we unpick Mohamed Salah’s new contract and what it could mean for both the forward and for Liverpool

    We also analyse Arsenal’s draw against Brentford and ask if they’ve already got one eye on their Champions League tie against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

    Plus, we react to some breaking news, as goalkeeper Andre Onana is dropped from Manchester United’s squad for their trip to Newcastle, and we look at the race for European places this season.

    Pep on De Bruyne | Gunners misfire at Goodison | Ange under Pressure
    Apr 6 2025
    Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Mirror's Darren Lewis and Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cotterill to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

    We begin by looking at both Manchester sides; Darren believes it has to be a big summer for United, who must compete against the likes of rising teams Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa (as well as Arsenal, Liverpool and City). Gary believes United will be challenging for the top four next season.

    Also, Ben Ransom sits down with Pep Guardiola to talk about Kevin De Bruyne announcing his City departure, what Pep has learnt in this tough campaign, and whether he would have been sacked if it wasn’t for his prior success.

    Next to Arsenal, who after their eleventh draw of the season at Goodison, are very much Madrid or bust in the Champions League. Gary attributes the Gunners’ league downfall to injuries and lack of a striker, but believes, after a recent trip to London Colney, that Mikel Arteta knows he has his striker of choice in summer.

    And finally, pressure on Ange Postecoglou, with boos on the touchline and a challenging week with the media. Gary names Tottenham v Southampton ‘the depressed derby’ but the Europa League may be the saving grace.
