Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Arne. Paul Scholes joins us as a surprise guest for our 100th episode, and it turned into one of the most open and genuine conversations we’ve ever had. He talks about stepping away from punditry, how his life revolves around caring for his son Aiden, and what family life looks like alongside his role at Salford City. Of course, we also talk football. From being mentored by Nobby Stiles and having a pint the night before youth games, to starting up front before moving into midfield, and what it was really like playing alongside Roy Keane. Scholes gives brilliant insight into his current work at Salford, helping young midfielders with timing, finishing, and learning how to slow the game down in the box. He also reflects on retiring from England at 29, the challenge of playing out wide, and what was really going through his head during that final tournament under Sven.

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?

In June 2004, José Mourinho made headlines around the world by claiming ‘I think I’m a special one’ at his unveiling as Chelsea manager. Just under a year later, he lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time, delivering Chelsea their first league title in 50 years. Robert Huth was part of the Chelsea defence that conceded only 15 goals in the league that season – and he joins Mark Chapman, Chris Sutton and Rory Smith 20 years later to reflect on an incredible achievement. They look back on Jose Mourinho’s management style – what was it like to be coached by him? Can he be credited with bringing the 4-3-3 to English football? Hear from midfielder Claude Makélélé on his role within the team and from Sir Alex Ferguson on his rivalry with José Mourinho. [This is re-versioned episode from the Football Daily’s archive. It was first published on the 26th April 2025] They also discuss what nearly became a domestic treble for Mourinho in his first year in English football, and remember one of the Premier League’s most memorable seasons.
