Welcome back to a huge episode of Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.

Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Jill Scott, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are joined by former Spurs, Real Madrid and Wales star Gareth Bale for a fascinating look back at his incredible career.

We dive into the reality of playing for Real Madrid, the pressure that comes with the badge and what it was really like sharing a dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. under Zinedine Zidane. And yes, the golf debate makes an appearance too.

Bale also reflects on his rise to superstardom at Tottenham, revealing that a move to Manchester United was on the table not once, but twice.

From Champions League glory to leading Wales on the international stage, he opens up on the highs, the scrutiny and life after football, including his spell in MLS and what keeps him busy now.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.

This week, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright dive into a title race that’s getting tighter by the week. With Arsenal and Manchester City going head to head at the top, how is Wrighty feeling heading into the run-in, and who does the team back to lift the league in May?

We look back at a huge North London Derby, as Arsenal got the better of Spurs, while Viktor Gyökeres continues his strong form. Benjamin Šeško was at it again too, coming off the bench for Manchester United as the super sub. The team break down both strikers’ impact and how crucial they could be in the final stretch of the season.

Super 6 returns ahead of another busy week of fixtures, and Gary tests the panel on the top five Premier League goalscorers from different nations with the Premier League Companion powered by Microsoft Copilot.

We’re also joined by Portugal head coach Roberto Martínez, who reflects on his squad ahead of the World Cup and discusses Cristiano Ronaldo’s role as the tournament approaches.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.

After last week’s blockbuster episode, Ange Postecoglou returns to join Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright for a deeper look at his life in and out of football.

Ange reflects on his upbringing in Australia after his family moved from Greece, how that shaped him, and where his love for the game truly began.

The conversation then turns to his coaching journey, from developing his bold tactical identity at Tottenham to his short spell at Nottingham Forest. Does he regret taking the job at the City Ground, and would he make the same decision again?

We also revisit his time at Spurs, including winning the Europa League against Manchester United, managing top players like Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, and how he views both the highs and the setbacks.

Celtic, VAR and what comes next in his career are all up for discussion, as well as his view that the Manchester United job is “the hardest in football”.

What club would you like to see Ange manage next? Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to like and subscribe so you never miss an episode of The Overlap.
