Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Jamie Carragher is joined by Wayne Rooney and some of the biggest fan channels in the country for another lively debate.

We start with VAR and refereeing standards after Wayne labels a recent FA Cup call between Aston Villa and Newcastle as “the worst decision he’s ever seen”. Has VAR made referees too reliant, and is it exposing bigger issues in the game?

Attention then turns to a turbulent week at Tottenham following Ange’s recent comments on Stick to Football and the appointment of interim boss Igor Tudor. We also check in on Nottingham Forest under new manager Vitor Pereira. Can he turn things around?

The title race heats up as Manchester City hunt down Arsenal. Will City’s pressure rattle the Gunners, or can Arsenal hold firm?

Chelsea and Manchester United have both enjoyed positive starts under new managers. Is Liam Rosenior facing his first real test, and does Michael Carrick deserve a permanent shot at Old Trafford?

On this exclusive episode of The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, Ian Wright sits down with his former Arsenal teammate Dennis Bergkamp for a special catch up and proper football chat.

The two look back on their time at Arsenal, sharing memories from one of the club’s greatest eras and what life was really like in that dressing room. Dennis also gives his thoughts on the current Arsenal side, the pressure that comes with a title challenge, and how today’s game compares to when he was playing.

They talk through Dennis’ career, from moving to England and working under Arsène Wenger, to the art of finishing, the strikers he admired, and whether he thinks his game would suit modern football.

There’s also a look at international football, the Netherlands team, and the managers who had the biggest impact on his career.
