Stick to Football

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

This week, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright dive into a title race that’s getting tighter by the week. With Arsenal and Manchester City going head to head at the top, how is Wrighty feeling heading into the run-in, and who does the team back to lift the league in May?

We look back at a huge North London Derby, as Arsenal got the better of Spurs, while Viktor Gyökeres continues his strong form. Benjamin Šeško was at it again too, coming off the bench for Manchester United as the super sub. The team break down both strikers’ impact and how crucial they could be in the final stretch of the season.

Super 6 returns ahead of another busy week of fixtures, and Gary tests the panel on the top five Premier League goalscorers from different nations with the Premier League Companion powered by Microsoft Copilot.

We’re also joined by Portugal head coach Roberto Martínez, who reflects on his squad ahead of the World Cup and discusses Cristiano Ronaldo’s role as the tournament approaches.

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

After last week’s blockbuster episode, Ange Postecoglou returns to join Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright for a deeper look at his life in and out of football.

Ange reflects on his upbringing in Australia after his family moved from Greece, how that shaped him, and where his love for the game truly began.

The conversation then turns to his coaching journey, from developing his bold tactical identity at Tottenham to his short spell at Nottingham Forest. Does he regret taking the job at the City Ground, and would he make the same decision again?

We also revisit his time at Spurs, including winning the Europa League against Manchester United, managing top players like Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, and how he views both the highs and the setbacks.

Celtic, VAR and what comes next in his career are all up for discussion, as well as his view that the Manchester United job is “the hardest in football”.

We kick off with Tuesday night’s Premier League action as Manchester United and Chelsea both drop points against West Ham and Leeds. Then it’s on to Spurs, where the pressure had already been mounting.

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

In this episode, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright are joined by Paul Merson for an open and wide-ranging conversation.

We start with Paul’s time on Soccer Saturday, looking at what he loves most about the role and whether there are moments of analysis he wishes he could take back.

The conversation then turns to club loyalties, with Paul opening up about being a Chelsea fan despite his strong ties to Arsenal, and who he would want to win if the two sides ever met.

Paul also reflects on his playing career, sharing stories from his time at Arsenal, the top players he played alongside, and giving his thoughts on the current Arsenal side and whether they can go all the way this season.

We then move away from the pitch as Paul speaks honestly about life after football and some of the challenges he has faced along the way.

To finish, we look ahead to England’s chances at the World Cup and Paul answers your community questions.

What went wrong for Mikel Arteta, and has the use of Eberechi Eze contributed to Arsenal’s recent creativity issues?

The focus then switches to United, who are riding high under interim manager Michael Carrick. What has he changed to turn things around, how important has Kobbie Mainoo’s return been, and could Carrick put himself in the frame for the job on a permanent basis if results continue?
