Amorim Got It Right, Salah Dropped & When Roy Met Marinakis! | Stick to Football EP 99

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.


After Manchester United’s win over Liverpool at Anfield, Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Jill Scott, Paul Scholes and Ian Wright dive into the fallout. What’s going wrong at Anfield? Do big players like Mo Salah need to be dropped? And are Liverpool letting Arsenal take control in the title race?


There’s also more drama at Nottingham Forest, as Ange Postecoglou leaves after just 39 days in charge. Roy opens up on his own experience working under Evangelos Marinakis during his time as assistant to Martin O’Neill, while the team debate if Sean Dyche is the man to finally steady the ship at the City Ground.


At Manchester United, Rúben Amorim has guided the side to back-to-back wins for the first time under his tenure. Can United continue to build momentum when Danny Welbeck returns to Old Trafford with Brighton this weekend, or will his former club be haunted by an old teammate?


Super 6 is back ahead of another big weekend of football, and the team tackle your community questions, from Roy’s Ireland ambitions to Jürgen Klopp’s next move, and whether football’s global expansion is a good thing for the game.


Can Liverpool bounce back and challenge high-flying Arsenal?

Stick to Football
Man United’s Downfall After Fergie & Roy’s Ryder Cup Rage! | Stick to Football EP 98

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.


In this episode, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are still soaking up the sun in Rome, delivering one of the funniest episodes yet.


The team start by looking back at life after football, with Wrighty heading into showbiz while Roy, Carra and Gary stayed in the game through management and punditry. How did each of them find their path, and what challenges did they face along the way?


The conversation then turns to Manchester United, revisiting the moment Sir Alex Ferguson announced his departure from the club. Could United have done more to stay on track, and was David Moyes really given enough time to succeed one of football’s greatest managers?


Attention then shifts to the modern game as the panel reveal one thing they would remove from football, from long throw-ins to offsides, everyone has their say.


Golf then takes centre stage, with Wrighty and Roy going head-to-head over the Ryder Cup. While Wrighty loved every minute of it, Roy was far from impressed.


To finish, the team answer a few lighter questions, from music and food to films, including one big debate: which movie does everyone love that you just don’t get?

Did Arteta Get it Wrong? & Ballon d’Or Fallout!| Stick to Football EP 95

Welcome back to a brand-new episode of Stick to Football brought to you by Arne. Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright dive into the biggest stories in football.


We start with the Ballon d’Or, asking if winner Ousmane Dembélé is a great player and whether Mo Salah was robbed because he didn’t win the Champions League.


The panel then discuss Arsenal against Manchester City, asking whether Mikel Arteta missed a big opportunity and if City were there to be beaten.


They also debate whether Pep Guardiola is evolving his style or moving away from the possession principles that have defined his career.


Liverpool’s flying start is also on the agenda after five wins from five, and the crew tackle a wide range of community questions from the best sporting event to the key differences between the Championship and Premier League.

On this week’s Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE, Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott are joined by legendary defender Des Walker.


We take it right back to the start of his career, breaking through at Nottingham Forest under the great Brian Clough, becoming a fan favourite with his speed and fearless defending. Des opens up about life in that dressing room, his rise to England stardom, and shares stories from unforgettable nights out with teammates including one with Roy Keane that you won’t want to miss.


We also revisit his time on the biggest stage, pulling on the Three Lions shirt at Italia ’90, where England went all the way to the semi finals in one of the most iconic tournaments of all time. Des recalls what it was like to face some of the best players to ever play the game, from Diego Maradona to Marco van Basten, and reflects on the highs and challenges of representing his country.


Alongside his England career, we look back at his club journey, from Forest to his spell in Italy, to becoming a rock at the heart of the defence for Sheffield Wednesday, where he built a lasting connection with the fans.


From Forest to Wednesday, from international glory to the moments that shaped his career on and off the pitch, this is a must watch conversation with one of England’s finest defenders.

Hasselbaink: England’s Mistakes, Trent’s Midfield Gamble, Leeds & Chelsea Career | Stick to Football EP 92

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.


In this episode, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright are joined by former Leeds and Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to look back on a career packed with goals, big moments and unforgettable stories, as well as his time as a national team coach and manager in the EFL.


We start with Jimmy’s early career, from growing up playing football to his big break in Portugal. How did he make his way to England and what challenges did he overcome along the journey?


The conversation then turns to his time at Leeds United, how he adapted to Premier League life, the teammates who pushed him to become one of the club’s top scorers, and the controversy around his exit from Elland Road which saw him move to Atlético Madrid.

Jimmy recalls his return to England, leading the line for Chelsea and later Middlesbrough, where he worked with Gareth Southgate. That connection eventually led to him joining Southgate’s coaching staff for Euro 2024.


We dive into the tournament itself. Where did England go wrong, and was playing Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield too big a gamble? Looking ahead, we also discuss Thomas Tuchel's appointment as England prepare for the future.

Roy’s Advice for Amorim, Eze’s Journey & Mainoo’s Man Utd Future | Stick to Football EP 91

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.


In this episode, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright return after another dramatic week of Premier League action.


We revisit Newcastle v Liverpool on Monday night, were Liverpool lucky to come away with three points, and did Newcastle go too far with their aggression after the Alexander Isak incident?


Arsenal’s strong start continues, and with new signing Eberechi Eze coming in, can they find another level? And how good is youngster Max Dowman?


At Manchester City, the goalkeeper debate rolls on. Has Pep asked too much of young James Trafford, and could Gianluigi Donnarumma be the solution?


Over at Manchester United, a slow start and Bruno Fernandes’ penalty antics pile the pressure once again onto manager Rúben Amorim. What needs fixing before the transfer window closes?


Super 6 returns with predictions, including the big clash between Liverpool and Arsenal, and we round things off by answering your community questions on which sides need to strengthen before deadline day, and who’s already in trouble after just two games.
