  • Man Utd Beat Arsenal! Did Arteta PANIC? And Wayne’s PJs 'MARE!
    Jan 26 2026

    Wayne Rooney, Kelly Somers and Kae Kurd break down the dramatic 3-2 Premier League win for Manchester United at Arsenal. Wayne reflects on the growing belief and confidence inside the United squad and reveals why Michael Carrick suddenly stopped a training session on the eve of the game, plus the calm, positive mindset he’s instilling in his players.

    Arsenal fan and content creator James Clark gives an honest verdict on where it went wrong for the Gunners, with the panel debating whether two points from nine already has Arteta’s side feeling the pressure in a title race. Wayne explains why he thinks Mikel Arteta panicked during the game and there are questions about Arsenal's threat from open play and whether leaders like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard need to step up.

    Wayne also gives his thoughts on Andy Robertson’s future at Liverpool after he was linked with Tottenham, and why he’d still keep and start him. Wayne also opens up on the reality of being an older player and what it feels like when you start to be phased out.

    And he shares a brilliant story about watching his son Kai play at Old Trafford for the first time last week. The only downside to the evening was Wayne’s clothes, where he had an absolute shocker…

  • Wayne’s Iconic Games, Being The World’s Best & Breaking Records
    Jan 23 2026

    Wayne is joined by Kelly Somers, Kae Kurd and Adam McKola to look back on some of the most unforgettable matches and moments of his remarkable career.

    Wayne reflects on the goal that announced him to the world: his iconic strike for Everton against Arsenal in 2002. He describes the goal from his own perspective, admits how shocked he felt by the sheer size of the Arsenal players in the Goodison Park tunnel, and explains how that moment changed his life.

    The conversation then turns to Euro 2004, as Wayne relives his two goals against Croatia and explains why he genuinely felt he was the best player in the world heading into the tournament. From there, the panel revisit Manchester United’s dramatic Champions League final victory over Chelsea in 2008, with Wayne revealing Sir Alex Ferguson’s unforgettable pre-match team talk, why he thought it was all over when John Terry stepped up to take Chelsea’s 5th penalty and how inspiring words from Sir Bobby Charlton convinced him United were destined to lift the trophy. He also shares the story of the cheeky fan who somehow blagged his way onto the pitch and into the post-match party.

    Wayne also looks back on United’s astonishing 8-2 win over Arsenal in 2011, revealing how shocked the players were by the scoreline and where his hat-trick ranks among his favourite treble performances. He also reflects on former team-mate Anderson, discussing why the Brazilian’s career perhaps never matched his immense talent.

    The episode closes with memories from Wayne’s later United years, including the 2017 draw with Stoke that saw him become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, and why he credits José Mourinho in part for that landmark goal. Wayne debates whether records or trophies matter more, recalls what drove him to win the FA Cup in 2016, and reveals the goalkeeper he once told he would chip, before going out and doing exactly that.

  • Fergie Flashbacks! Rooney on Beating City & Spurs in CRISIS?
    Jan 19 2026

    Wayne, Kelly and Kae react to Manchester United’s 2-0 derby win over Manchester City, with Wayne explaining what he loved about the performance, why the game was so significant for Michael Carrick, and whether he’s spoken to him since the final whistle.

    Wayne also pinpoints why it felt straight out of Sir Alex Ferguson’s era, reveals what made him jump up and shout “That’s Manchester United!”, and explains why Carrick bringing rondos back into training has mattered.

    Wayne also has strong views on Oliver Glasner’s explosive comments, arguing why he thinks Glasner may be looking for a way out of the club, what’s really triggered his frustration, and why so many Premier League managers are now openly criticising club execs.

    Tottenham fan and comedian Josh James joins the pod to vent his frustration at Spurs’ struggles under Thomas Frank. Josh explains why the job has become so difficult for managers at Tottenham, debates whether Frank should be under pressure, and makes the case for why Mauricio Pochettino could be the man to reunite the fanbase.
