    Arsenal Fans Need To Do BETTER & City Celebrations Too MUCH?

    20/04/2026 | 30 mins.
    Wayne Rooney doesn’t hold back as he reacts to Manchester City’s win over Arsenal and questions has the title race just shifted? Did Erling Haaland prove the difference again? But his biggest talking point comes off the pitch as he criticises Arsenal fans, insisting they must back the team instead of turning when pressure builds.
    There’s also a very raw reaction to Liverpool’s late Merseyside derby win over Everton. Did Everton deserve more? Why do defeats like that hurt differently? Wayne also questions Van Dijk & Salah’s post-match interview, asking why Konate was left to face the cameras after Liverpool’s PSG defeat.
    Wayne also takes aim at a growing trend in football - players announcing they’re leaving before the end of the season. Why does he hate it so much? Does it damage the team at the worst possible time? And what does it say about dressing room focus during a title run in?

    13/04/2026 | 29 mins.
    Wayne Rooney reacts to a huge weekend in the Premier League as the pressure intensifies on Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. Are they starting to overthink the title race? Is this just a dip, or the start of something bigger? And how much are Arteta’s methods helping, or adding to the pressure?
    Are Manchester City once again timing their run perfectly? Why do Guardiola’s teams always look so calm when it matters most?
    Wayne talks about how it feels to be in the midst of a title race and which player took the Manchester United team paint balling and kayaking to take their minds off the league?
    And will Spurs and Roberto De Zerbi beat the drop? After another defeat, is it a confidence issue, a tactical problem, or something deeper within the squad?
