4 But fans were upset with some jarring new details

The show previously ran for 20 years before it was axed in 2020.

Sunday Supplement saw industry insiders and journalists talk through the weekend's drama and chat about the major stories set for the papers too.

And this weekend it has returned to viewers' TV screens ahead of the season's first Super Sunday, including a mouth-watering clash between Manchester United and Arsenal .

Mark Alford, the director of Sky Sports News took to social media to welcome the show back after a five-year "holiday", and introduced its new host.

Referring to the memorable detail about pastries made available to guests on the show, he said: "The croissants are back… it can only mean one thing: Sunday Supplement IS BACK!

"After a 5-year 'holiday' the iconic show is back with @skysports_sheth (Dharmesh Sheth) at the helm."

However, while many fans were delighted to see it back, some were upset about changes made to the format of the show, including new faces and a new venue.

One fan said: "You should not do Sunday Supplement from the Sky Sports news studio!! It misses the point and the ambience of the old days. At least call it something else!"

A second said: "Used to enjoy Sunday Supplement when I was younger. Have turned on this ‘new’ edition out of intrigue. It’s not terrible, but the SSN studio is jarring. Could’ve predicted the clubs they’ve discussed so far, some 80 mins in."

A third added: "Well done for bringing Sunday Supplement back @SkySports. But it isn't Sunday Supplement with no Henry Winter or Martin Samuels."

Another said: "Such a shame Sky Sports have butchered the return of Sunday Supplement. Almost unwatchable."

A fifth said: "Great to see Sunday Supplement back."

While a sixth added: "Sky Sports may as well have not bothered bringing back Sunday Supplement."

As Sky welcomed back an old favourite, Match of the Day was also under the microscope as a new era dawned for the BBC highlights show.

Mark Chapman was on presenting duties for the first show since Gary Lineker 's departure, while Wayne Rooney made his first appearance as a regular pundit after signing an £800,000 deal with the BBC .
