Media Criticism

How the Barcelona media have reacted to Marcus Rashford’s performance against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE. This week, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Wayne Rooney, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are joined by one of the Premier League’s greatest ever full backs, Ashley Cole, for a brilliant episode full of big reveals and funny moments. We start by looking back at Ashley’s early days at Arsenal and how he went from a young prospect at Highbury to one of the best full backs we have ever seen. He talks about the ups and downs, the moments that shaped him and how a loan spell at Crystal Palace changed everything. The conversation then turns to coaching. Ashley talks about the work he has already done alongside Wayne and with England, and why he sees himself stepping into management sooner rather than later. We also revisit his incredible playing career, from the Invincibles and working under Arsene Wenger to joining Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea team. Ash speaks openly about leaving Arsenal for Chelsea, one of the most talked about moves English football has ever seen, and the reaction that followed in the media and beyond. To finish, the table look back at England’s golden generation. Why didn’t that group achieve what many expected and was that England’s best chance of winning something major? Where do you see Ashley Cole managing in the future? Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss an episode- and please leave a review to help others find us too.

Was Scott McTominay’s outrageous overhead kick one of the greatest we’ve ever seen as he fires Scotland to their first World Cup in 28 years? And why does it feel like the British media has it out for Jude Bellingham — is this really about football, or is there something more sinister behind the narrative? The lads dive into Scotland’s historic qualification, the press’ obsession with knocking down rising stars, and whether the entire World Cup qualification system needs a modern overhaul. Plus, a big question: what on earth will Alan do if Sunderland finish inside the Premier League’s Top 4? The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE. In this episode, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are still soaking up the sun in Rome, delivering one of the funniest episodes yet. The team start by looking back at life after football, with Wrighty heading into showbiz while Roy, Carra and Gary stayed in the game through management and punditry. How did each of them find their path, and what challenges did they face along the way? The conversation then turns to Manchester United, revisiting the moment Sir Alex Ferguson announced his departure from the club. Could United have done more to stay on track, and was David Moyes really given enough time to succeed one of football’s greatest managers? Attention then shifts to the modern game as the panel reveal one thing they would remove from football, from long throw-ins to offsides, everyone has their say. Golf then takes centre stage, with Wrighty and Roy going head-to-head over the Ryder Cup. While Wrighty loved every minute of it, Roy was far from impressed. To finish, the team answer a few lighter questions, from music and food to films, including one big debate: which movie does everyone love that you just don’t get?
