Resurgent Man City | Frank's Flying Start | Sunderland Back With A Bang

Resurgent Man City | Frank's Flying Start | Sunderland Back With A Bang

Author: Sky Sports August 17, 2025 Duration: 1:28:31
Dharmesh Sheth is joined by The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, The Times’ Charlotte Duncker and The Guardian’s Jonathan Liew to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin talking transfers, and whilst Eberechi Eze looks likely to be on his way to Tottenham, the Alexander Isak saga continues as Newcastle look for necessary replacements.

Next we discuss David De Gea’s possible return to Old Trafford.  Whilst Charlotte considers De Gea a better shot-stopper than Onana, but still believes it to be an unlikely move.

Elsewhere, we discuss the racist incident against Antoine Semenyo.  Miguel talks about the importance of education outside of just football, and Charlotte praises how quickly it was dealt with.

We also praise Man City’s resurgent start to the new season; Pep’s rebuild looks impressive after their opening game, but are City back?

Then, The Sunday Times' Jonathan Northcroft speaks with us on it being time for Mikel Arteta to win the Premier League. Is it now or never for Arteta at Arsenal?  Also, is time running out for rivals Man United?  Plus, we discuss Thomas Frank’s flying start to the new season, and a reignited Richarlison spark.  Is top five asking for too much for Tottenham this season?

Finally, Sunderland are back with a bang! A 3-0 win was a perfect return to the Premier League, but we consider their opponents West Ham’s transfers and whether Graham Potter is suited to the Hammers’ system.  

Running Order:
3min Eze to Tottenham
11mins Isak Saga
24mins De Gea possible United Return
36mins Semenyo Racist Incident
44mins Are City Back?
50mins Now or Never for Arteta?
62mins Is Time Running Out For Man Utd?
68mins Frank’s Flying Start
80mins Sunderland back with a bang!
