  • Arsenal’s Lack Of Bravery & Pep’s Last Dance?
    Sep 1 2025

    Wayne Rooney, Kelly Somers and Kae Kurd return to discuss the big game at Anfield where Liverpool beat Arsenal.

    Wayne has questions for Mikel Arteta: is he brave enough to win the title? Why didn't his side go for Liverpool and why wasn’t Eberechi Eze selected from the start? Wayne also reveals Sir Alex’s favourite words of advice when Manchester United played big games away from home, which title rival could be nasty and his favourite ever win at Anfield, which saw him hobbling from the treatment room to celebrate.

    Manchester City’s loss at Brighton prompts a chat about whether they can be considered among the title favourites. Wayne wonders whether this could even be the last dance for Pep Guardiola at City?

    BBC Sport Senior Football Correspondent Sami Mokbel joins the guys to give insight into what it’s like being part of the transfer window madness.
