    Rooney DISAGREES with England Squad omissions - But Backs Toney Call

    Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad is out, and the biggest question is simple, has he called it right? Harry Maguire is out despite Wayne Rooney insisting he’d have taken him. Phil Foden and Cole Palmer are also left at home, so has Tuchel just dropped three match-winners in one ruthless sweep? But Wayne doesn’t disagree with everything. Why does he back Ivan Toney’s inclusion so strongly? Does tournament football need goalscorers over flair? And is this the bold, no-sentiment squad England fans have always demanded… or a gamble that could blow up spectacularly?

    Michael Owen... Who Was Better At 18?

    Wayne Rooney sits down with Michael Owen to look back on two of the most explosive teenage breakthroughs English football has ever seen. At the heart of the conversation is the big debate: who really made the bigger impact at 18? They also discuss whether modern football still allows teenage stars to emerge in the same way, and how today’s forwards, from Erling Haaland to Hugo Ekitike are developing and whether the Frenchman can become truly world class.. Michael and Wayne compare themselves to the young players coming through today, and whether Liverpool on form are the best team in the Premiership and should Michael Carrick get the Manchester United job permanently. They reflect on the pressure of playing for England, the dressing rooms they walked into as teenagers, and the expectations that followed them throughout their careers, from Anfield and Old Trafford to major tournaments with the national team. It’s a frank and entertaining look at two remarkable careers, and the teenage moments that defined them.

    Villa v Newcastle DRAMA! Are Refs REALLY Hiding Behind VAR?

    Wayne, Kelly and Kae welcome former Premier League referee Graham Scott to discuss modern officiating. They break down the controversial decisions from the Aston Villa v Newcastle FA Cup tie, with Graham explaining why it’s unfair to say referees are hiding behind VAR or petrified to make big calls without it. He reveals whether officials know at half-time if they’ve made a mistake, how errors affect them mentally, and why early VAR days carried a stigma when decisions were overturned. Wayne shares his concern that football’s emotion is being drained by technology, and the panel debate whether Premier League referees should drop into the Championship - where there’s no VAR - to stay sharp. Graham recalls the time Rooney confronted him after a heavy challenge in a game against Tottenham, while Wayne lifts the lid on how Sir Alex Ferguson encouraged Manchester United players to pressure refs, but punished them if they got booked. Wayne also gives his verdict on Thomas Tuchel extending his tenure as England head coach: why it’s a smart move by the FA and what it could mean for the squad going forward.

They talk about Bruno Fernandes’ influence and consistency during a difficult period for Manchester United and there's also praise for Liverpool youngster Rio Ngumoha, whose direct style and willingness to run at defenders has caught Wayne’s attention. And what does Wayne think about Arsenal’s position in the title race? And why does he believe the race is not completely settled yet?
