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

This week, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Wayne Rooney, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are joined by one of the Premier League’s greatest ever full backs, Ashley Cole, for a brilliant episode full of big reveals and funny moments.

We start by looking back at Ashley’s early days at Arsenal and how he went from a young prospect at Highbury to one of the best full backs we have ever seen. He talks about the ups and downs, the moments that shaped him and how a loan spell at Crystal Palace changed everything.

The conversation then turns to coaching. Ashley talks about the work he has already done alongside Wayne and with England, and why he sees himself stepping into management sooner rather than later.

We also revisit his incredible playing career, from the Invincibles and working under Arsene Wenger to joining Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea team. Ash speaks openly about leaving Arsenal for Chelsea, one of the most talked about moves English football has ever seen, and the reaction that followed in the media and beyond.

To finish, the table look back at England’s golden generation. Why didn’t that group achieve what many expected and was that England’s best chance of winning something major?

Where do you see Ashley Cole managing in the future?

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

This week, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Wayne Rooney are back together, with Wayne stepping in while Jill visits Australia.

We start with a huge week in international football. Scotland book their place at the World Cup after a dramatic win over Hungary, while Roy’s Ireland keep their hopes alive with a big moment of their own. Can they go all the way and qualify?

Attention then turns to England after an impressive international break. What have we learned from Thomas Tuchel’s side, how crucial is Harry Kane, and where does he rank among England’s greatest-ever players? With so many defensive options, the panel debate England’s strongest back four heading into the World Cup.

We also discuss Jude Bellingham and the media scrutiny he faces. Wrighty speaks powerfully about race, the treatment of Black players, and the responsibility the media has when covering young talent, an important conversation backed by the whole table.

Super 6 returns ahead of a huge Premier League weekend, including the North London Derby. Who are you backing?

Gary digs out his old Manchester United contracts, from sponsorship deals to the seven-year agreement he signed at Old Trafford, with the rest of the team sharing some contract stories of their own.

We then switch to boxing after Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua. What does this result mean for the sport, and has Paul finally bitten off more than he can chew by stepping into this level of competition?

We look back on Ole’s spell at Beşiktaş, the lessons he learned in Turkey and his thoughts on the sales of Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, who all played major roles in his United team.

This week, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Jill Scott, Ian Wright, and Roy Keane dive into all the latest football topics. We kick things off by reflecting on Scholesy’s last episode, and the reaction and impact it’s had on him.

Then we get into the Liverpool vs. Real Madrid match and the big question: was it fair for Trent Alexander-Arnold to be booed by his own fans? We touch on book deals too, which leads us down memory lane as Roy revisits his infamous Saipan story with the Ireland squad.

We discuss Mary Earps and the recent headlines from her book, then dive into our Super 6 predictions.

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

Paul Scholes joins us as a surprise guest for our 100th episode, and it turned into one of the most open and genuine conversations we’ve ever had.

He talks about stepping away from punditry, how his life revolves around caring for his son Aiden, and what family life looks like alongside his role at Salford City.

Of course, we also talk football. From being mentored by Nobby Stiles and having a pint the night before youth games, to starting up front before moving into midfield, and what it was really like playing alongside Roy Keane. Scholes gives brilliant insight into his current work at Salford, helping young midfielders with timing, finishing, and learning how to slow the game down in the box.

He also reflects on retiring from England at 29, the challenge of playing out wide, and what was really going through his head during that final tournament under Sven.

A special 100th episode with one of the greatest midfielders of all time.

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?

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?
