The Wayne Rooney Show

Wayne looks back on a classic FA Cup weekend, beginning with Wrexham’s thrilling tie with Chelsea - a game he says was the most he has enjoyed since retiring from playing. He also reflects on the atmosphere at the Racecourse Ground, the controversial red card that changed the match and why he believes VAR is removing emotion from the game. The team also discuss the weekend's big cup upsets, with Wayne questioning why so many teams still rest players in a competition he believes should always be taken seriously. He explains why cup runs matter so much to supporters and why the FA Cup remains one of football’s greatest competitions. Subscribe now and remember the name.
