Arsenal Cracking? Spurs' Disaster & Trent Snubbed!

The Wayne Rooney Show

Available for over a year

Are Arsenal starting to crack when it matters most? Will Trent be on the plane to the World Cup? And can Spurs stop the slide, or is this turning into a full-blown collapse? Wayne takes on a huge weekend of football, asking the questions everyone is thinking. After Manchester City’s cup final win, Wayne breaks down Arsenal’s performance and whether the defeat could have real psychological consequences in the title race. Is it just a setback, or something deeper? And what is going on with Bukayo Saka? With City finding form again, are they ready to hunt Arsenal down? Wayne also looks at the players at the centre of it all. He reacts to Phil Foden’s situation - why does one of England’s biggest talents suddenly feel sidelined? There’s praise too for Nico O’Reilly, plus reaction to Newcastle’s derby defeat, Sunderland’s rise and a warning to Newcastle fans over Eddie Howe. At the bottom, Spurs suffer another damaging defeat - but is this now more than poor form? Are they genuinely in danger? Wayne gives his verdict, before turning to Tuchel’s England squad - why is Trent missing and should Welbeck return?
