Did Arteta Get it Wrong? & Ballon d’Or F...

The Overlap
About this episode

Welcome back to a brand-new episode of Stick to Football brought to you by Arne. Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright dive into the biggest stories in football.


We start with the Ballon d’Or, asking if winner Ousmane Dembélé is a great player and whether Mo Salah was robbed because he didn’t win the Champions League.


The panel then discuss Arsenal against Manchester City, asking whether Mikel Arteta missed a big opportunity and if City were there to be beaten.


They also debate whether Pep Guardiola is evolving his style or moving away from the possession principles that have defined his career.


Liverpool’s flying start is also on the agenda after five wins from five, and the crew tackle a wide range of community questions from the best sporting event to the key differences between the Championship and Premier League.


Gary Neville and the Stick to Football team know - when your day’s full-on, you need fuel that’s fast and actually good for you.
