The Wayne Rooney Show

Did Manchester City just hand Arsenal the title? After a dramatic slip at Everton, Wayne makes his call and backs Arteta’s side to go all the way. Is this the moment the pressure finally caught City out?
Wayne also weighs in on Pep’s team selection, why isn’t Phil Foden playing every week? Is Rodri the bigger miss? And what has impressed him most about Arsenal’s control and mentality in the run-in?
Elsewhere, Chelsea’s struggles spark a strong reaction, are the players failing the club? And at Manchester United, Wayne makes it clear that he thinks Michael Carrick isn’t a gamble... is this the start of a new era at Old Trafford?

James Nelson-Joyce joins Wayne Rooney in Liverpool and it doesn’t take long before talk turns to a potential role in This City Is Ours. But can he actually act? Wayne fancies his chances as an actor.
There's a deep dive into football on Merseyside. Would Wayne have loved to play for Klopp? Who really runs the city- Liverpool or Everton? Expect strong opinions, Scouse humour, and a few digs along the way.
James also opens up on the success of This City Is Ours, his journey to a BAFTA nomination, and the reality behind the scenes. How do you deal with rejection? What does it mean to represent Liverpool on screen? And why do Scousers always stick together?

Will Arsenal really hold off Manchester City and win the league? Wayne Rooney makes his big call, breaking down Arsenal’s win, Bukayo Saka’s return, and the pressure of the run-in. Do Arsenal have the easier fixtures, or will the pressure still open the door for City?
Wayne is joined by Chelsea fan and broadcaster Rory Jennings who despite reaching an FA Cup final is furious. Are the players, ownership and culture all broken? Rory criticises the club’s direction under BlueCo, comparing it to years under the Glazer family at Manchester United, and questions whether ripping up experience and leadership has left Chelsea without direction. And who does he want as the next manager?
Manchester City are back in another FA Cup final, are they building momentum at the perfect time? Wayne explains why City’s experience under Pep Guardiola still makes them so dangerous, even when they’re not at their best, and praises Jeremy Doku’s performances this season.

Wayne Rooney sits down with Bruno Fernandes to talk Manchester United, pressure and captaincy. How does Bruno handle criticism at Man Utd? What is it really like leading the club during difficult periods and performing under constant pressure? Bruno Fernandes opens up on life as Manchester United captain, dealing with critics, playing through injuries and the mentality needed to deliver at the highest level. Wayne Rooney also reflects on his own experiences at United, leadership and what it takes to succeed under pressure. And Bruno also reveals his ambition to win the World Cup with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Wayne Rooney doesn’t hold back as he reacts to Manchester City’s win over Arsenal and questions has the title race just shifted? Did Erling Haaland prove the difference again? But his biggest talking point comes off the pitch as he criticises Arsenal fans, insisting they must back the team instead of turning when pressure builds.
There’s also a very raw reaction to Liverpool’s late Merseyside derby win over Everton. Did Everton deserve more? Why do defeats like that hurt differently? Wayne also questions Van Dijk & Salah’s post-match interview, asking why Konate was left to face the cameras after Liverpool’s PSG defeat.
Wayne also takes aim at a growing trend in football - players announcing they’re leaving before the end of the season. Why does he hate it so much? Does it damage the team at the worst possible time? And what does it say about dressing room focus during a title run in?
