Sunday Supplement

Charlotte Duncker of The Times, The Telegraph's Sam Dean and broadcaster Jacqui Oatley join Hannah Wilkes to go beyond the headlines in today's Sunday Supplement.
It's now four games without a win for Tottenham and so we start, again, with Spurs on Sunday Supplement! After their 0-0 draw with Everton, we dissect another disappointing evening in North London.
Meanwhile, Arsenal recorded another win, this time at Sunderland, with former Newcastle captain Bruno Guimarães amongst the goals. Can anyone stop the Gunners this season?
Are Chelsea too soft? A 2-2 draw against Hull prompted some interesting quotes from manager, Xabi Alonso, who thinks his side need to be 'competing better'. Is he right?
What does the men's Ballon d'Or say about the current state of the Premier League? We discuss an interesting piece from journalist Martin Samuel, who asks if the lack of Premier League stars amongst the nominees highlights a talent drain in the English top flight.
Plus, how are the papers looking ahead to Sunday's Manchester derby?

Hannah Wilkes is joined by John Cross, James Olley and Jonathan Northcroft to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.
We kick off with Spurs’ difficult start to the season. Roberto De Zerbi’s side sit in the bottom three, having failed to score in their opening three games. But the biggest talking point is the VAR decision that ruled out Neco Williams’ goal — a decision that, had it stood, would have separated the two sides and condemned Spurs to a third consecutive defeat. John believes the referees got it wrong, so we ask: should there be a higher threshold for VAR intervention?
We then turn to Manchester City’s “ugly” 1-0 win over Coventry. But is Jonathan being too harsh with his assessment that it’s “just like Pep, but slower and far less decisive”?
Finally, we turn to a frantic summer transfer window and assess the new squad cost ratio rules. Are they leaving smaller clubs with no choice but to sell, sell, sell?

The Daily Mail's Chief Football Reporter, Craig Hope, ESPN's Senior Writer, Mark Ogden, and The Sun's Chief Football Correspondent, Charlie Wyett, join Hannah Wilkes to look beyond the headlines as the second round of matches in the Premier League continue and the Transfer Window draws to a close.

We start with Tottenham's 2-0 defeat at home to Newcastle, as Spurs find themselves bottom of the Premier League despite spending £300m on new players over the summer. Both Craig and Charlie covered the match and we debate what's going wrong for Roberto de Zerbi.

Next to another side who have had a stuttering start, Liverpool, after their 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. How worrying have their first two performances been, why is Florian Wirtz struggling and could Bradley Barcola be the player they need?

Switching sports to cricket, we then discuss England's dominant display against Pakistan with broadcaster Adam Collins, as Dan Lawrence impressed for the home side at Lord's.

Finally, returning to football, we discuss Everton and bring you some breaking news about the proposed sale of teenage midfielder Harrison Armstrong. Plus, we look ahead to Manchester United against Ipswich - which is live on Super Sunday from 4.30 - and ask if Michael Carrick has solved their midfield problems.

Hannah Wilkes is joined by Miguel Delaney, Jacqui Oatley and Martin Samuel to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.
We kick off with Manchester United’s humbling 2-0 defeat to Hull. Jacqui believes it was the manner of the defeat that should concern United most, with questions being raised over Michael Carrick’s side lacking intensity and appearing underprepared. But is Martin right to suggest United simply weren’t willing to work hard enough?
We then turn to Spurs, who have spent big in the summer transfer market and enjoyed a full pre-season under Roberto De Zerbi — only to lose their opening game 3-0 to Brentford. Is Miguel right to describe the result as classically Spurs?
Then to the champions, who beat Coventry convincingly 3-0 on Friday. With a refreshed Saka and an even stronger squad available to rotate, are we likely to see Arteta take the handbrake off this season and unleash a more attacking Arsenal side?
Finally, we turn to Liverpool, who, following Curtis Jones’ departure, are without a homegrown player in their first team for the first time in 134 years. Miguel explores the importance of clubs staying connected to their communities, and whether there should be a greater emphasis on homegrown talent and giving academy players a pathway into the first team.
