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

This week, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Wayne Rooney are back together, with Wayne stepping in while Jill visits Australia.

We start with a huge week in international football. Scotland book their place at the World Cup after a dramatic win over Hungary, while Roy’s Ireland keep their hopes alive with a big moment of their own. Can they go all the way and qualify?

Attention then turns to England after an impressive international break. What have we learned from Thomas Tuchel’s side, how crucial is Harry Kane, and where does he rank among England’s greatest-ever players? With so many defensive options, the panel debate England’s strongest back four heading into the World Cup.

We also discuss Jude Bellingham and the media scrutiny he faces. Wrighty speaks powerfully about race, the treatment of Black players, and the responsibility the media has when covering young talent, an important conversation backed by the whole table.

Super 6 returns ahead of a huge Premier League weekend, including the North London Derby. Who are you backing?

Gary digs out his old Manchester United contracts, from sponsorship deals to the seven-year agreement he signed at Old Trafford, with the rest of the team sharing some contract stories of their own.

We then switch to boxing after Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua. What does this result mean for the sport, and has Paul finally bitten off more than he can chew by stepping into this level of competition?
