3 februari 2026 · 42 min
Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet. Lees meer
Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes are joined by Financial Times sports editor and Crystal Palace fan Josh Noble to discuss one of the biggest talking points in modern football, multi club ownership.
The panel break down how it has grown across the game, what fans really think about it, and how it has already impacted clubs up and down the country. Is it a smart model for success or something that risks changing football for good?
Shot on Target also returns for another competitive round as Carra and Scholes look to get the better of the fans once again.
We finish by looking ahead to the future of multi club ownership. Where is it heading, what does it mean for supporters, and how far can it go after seeing clubs like Chelsea use their links with Strasbourg to move players and even managers between teams?

Arsenal Drop Points, Who’s To Blame At Liverpool & Are United Back? | The Overlap Fan Debate
2 december 2025 · 1 uur 24 min
Welcome back to another episode of the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet. Lees meer
Jamie Carragher is joined by some of the biggest fan channels in the country to break down the biggest talking points in the Premier League right now.
We start with the 1–1 draw between Chelsea and Arsenal. What does it mean for the title race and what did we learn about both sides? We also look at Declan Rice and where he ranks among the world’s best midfielders.
That result opens the door for Manchester City, who continue to hunt Arsenal down. Can Pep’s side catch them, and will their famous second half of the season surge prove decisive again?
We also check in with Aston Villa and Sunderland after their impressive starts and ask just how far both teams can go this season. Meanwhile, Newcastle and Fulham have had mixed results, can either find consistency and push up the table?
Despite beating West Ham, questions continue to follow Liverpool and Arne Slot. After a heavy summer spend, why are the same problems still showing and is the investment paying off?
Manchester United also get discussed after a big win at Selhurst Park. Is Ruben Amorim finally finding rhythm after a shaky start, and can United now put a run of results together?

FA Cup or UCL? & Rooney On De Bruyne vs Gerrard | The Overlap Fan Debate
25 april 2025 · 1 uur 16 min
In this episode, Jamie Carragher is joined by Wayne Rooney and some of the biggest fan channels in the country. Lees meer
With the Premier League title potentially in Liverpool’s hands this weekend, we explore how significant the achievement would be for the Reds - and what signings they might need to stay at the top in the coming seasons. The excitement continues with two major FA Cup semi-finals on the horizon. Nottingham Forest fan Greg shares his thoughts on how important the FA Cup is for their season, despite the club being in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League. Wayne Rooney weighs in, arguing that the FA Cup holds just as much importance as the Premier League and Champions League.
Manchester United remain in the hunt for silverware. Can they go all the way, or will Tottenham stand in their path - and set-up an all-English final? With Wolves striker Matheus Cunha heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford, could a Europa League win help bring the Brazilian to Manchester?
As the season draws to a close, Everton prepare to bid farewell to Goodison Park. Everton fan Baz joins Wayne and Jamie to reflect on their favourite memories at the ground.

PL Christmas Lists, Rashford's Future & Scholes' Favourite Goals | The Overlap Fan Debate
18 december 2024 · 51 min
Welcome back to the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet. Lees meer
Jamie Carragher is joined by Paul Scholes and some of the biggest fan channels across England to dive into all the biggest talking points in football.
We kick things off with the fallout from the Manchester Derby, where Manchester United pulled off a smash-and-grab against a crisis-hit Manchester City. With City looking out of sorts, how does Pep Guardiola turn things around?
From there, we ask the key question: what’s on every club’s Christmas wish list?
Do Liverpool need to strengthen at left-back? Can Chelsea keep up the pressure?
Nottingham Forest are flying high under Nuno Espírito Santo, but can they maintain their momentum? And is Vítor Pereira really the right man to lead Wolves forward?
We also hear from HLTCO, who gives us the lowdown on Crystal Palace and what they need to get their season back on track.
