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?
Who makes your England back four for the World Cup? Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to like and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Wrighty not messing about here
Love Wrighty. What a legend
Wazza was not happy with Gary's lawyer comment 😂
Wrighty is bang on about Jude
This is the overlaps strongest 5
Wright knows the tabloids are trouble causing liars.
Amazed by Rooney saying Ireland’s celebrations were over the top – rare lack of understanding of circumstances that should have been destroyed by Keane
Wrighty dropping truth bombs…great stuff
Ian wrighty on the spot as always
Sir Ian Wright (should be)
1:09:00 "well, i was a much better player, wasn't I?" 😂😂😂😂
Wrighty the pioneer
why does rooney keep silent?
Thanks Lads.
Was Rooney the guest? He barely opened his mouth.
Sorry but jude aint the one.
Well said Ian
1:24:40 😂😂 keano stories 😂😂😂 "I'm on WAY more than that" 😂😂😂😂
Can we get Shaka Hislop on? Great 90s/2000s Prem player, great work outside of the pitch for fellow pros, World Cup appearances and more!
Rooneys “overreaction” comment is ridiculous..
Yes Wrighty!!
Roy has incredible sense of humour 😂😂😂
Nice one, Wrighty! 🤍❤🖤

Wright is spot on
Nice one on name dropping des kelly
Bellingham is a class act! Always has been! Where is this narrative came from that he is a bad egg? It's simply not true!
Best episode of the overlap. Genuinely well done. Great episode
1:13:13 the reaction
Gary was fleeced
God forbid if troy parrot becomes a pundit… "I have heard rumors this and that"
Manufactured outrage
Yes Wrighty!! Nailed on. Brilliant.
These guys pampered as players now even pampered as pundits
WRIGHTY
Great episode as per ✊🏻
What a load of bollox
Size of those croissants
Funny that socialist footballers just LOVE capitalism for their careers.
Rooney did not wanna be there for this one
What a man Wrighty ❤
Dream blunt rotation
Whoever says that Kane is a better player than Rooney, can sign up for an asylum
