Love how casual the layout of this is. A group of mates tucking into a Nando’s and having a conversation about football. Comes across as very natural.
This
Divvnt like them talking with tha mouths full though
A cheeky Nandos.
Gary's hotel food mustn't be great 😂
Deliberately done like this so the working class can relate to the ultra rich. Don’t fall for it
The epitome of this podcast would be to bring Sir Alex Ferguson and put him next to Roy Keane. It might break youtube the day this happens.
Stop copying comments 😡
will never ever happen
@@rb2718 Gary Neville interviewed AF for a KZhead video in the past, it's not completely out of the question unless his hatred towards Keane runs deeper than we think - but then he did start talking to the BBC after 10 years so we never know.
Guaranteed fight
Would be good to see but it would be a sour podcast so can't see it ever happening.
"We were having a difficult spell, I don't think we'd won in a week." Roy Keane has me in stitches! 😂😂
😂
@@BarryAlexanderKing Pipe down you fools
@@matthewdoyle3877? I only laughed? Lol 😆
Legend Keannoo
he incuded the training matches
Got to give it to Carra's knowledge of the game and how he vividly remembers games even when he wasn't involved. Thats a football man
yeaa he wasn't the best or most fancy player but good god you need a jamie garragher type player to win in the highest level especially in the premier league
@@kmminhobbissajfyep that's exactly why hes got so many premier league medals ☠️☠️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@leecameron9226 Lesser players have a Premeir League Medal.
@@leecameron9226 get over it mate, i'm sure he did longgg ago, say old boring jokes!! Upgrade your material ffs lol
@@TheHungryTrollRawr hahaha im not joking im stating facts your getting triggered by facts
I think this is genuinely the best football programme on either the internet or t.v....casual talk, a respectful difference of opinions and a good mix of characters. Always entertaining
Glad you're enjoying it!
@TheOverlap imagine if you get the GOAT Sir Alex on for the next Stick to Football, 2 hour special 😅🙏
Agreed!
Get some managers or ex managers. Would love to hear their opinions@@TheOverlap
Easily, can feel the love from all the way down under and sending love back to all you beautiful people! ❤️🙏
If the marketing team at Mini rolls had any sense, they'd get Roy Keane on their next ad campaign. "They taste good... it's their job"
It can be used countless times over and over again It'll never get old 😂
💯
200%
😂😂
Careful of the ideas you share on the internet 😂
Look at how Ian Wright helps the sound guy clear up the nandos...absolutely class act.
He is just a lovely man! Really down to earth!
tuts, that sclass nowadays? lol whats everyone else like?
low standards
@@PazLeBon nah you miss the bigger picture, Wrighty is down to Earth, here you see him defending Rashford as I think he feels he's struggling mentally with all the critics against him, and he's ALSO helping these staff, rather acting like they are beneith him or he's better. He just gives off the vibes of a very decent thoughtful person!
@@TheHungryTrollRawr my point is thats normal and doesnt warrant praise. not a fault but also not praiseworthy,its just 'normal'
Rio’s reasons for not going into management are admirable, knowing that he needed to be there for his kids at such a difficult time. One of the best defenders we’ve ever produced. Great guest and great show.
Roy never misses a single chance to Roast Gary 🤣🤣
It’s a great dynamic because Gary always takes it in good jest.
Especially on MUTV 😉
@ianationwidee2307 30 years of this, he got used to! Lol
Easy target? 😜
Gary needs to stick up for himself more. Getting annoying at this point
Roy absolutely loves his mini rolls
Raspberry flavour 😋
He has taste
plain or jam?
@@weekendwarriorprospecting817those are gucci with a cup a tea
Think its just on the show. Must be disciplined majority of the time. Still in good nick
Get Denis Irwin on, him and keano reminiscing be great, and the Ireland stories be the best, paul McGrath be a good shout too
Harry redknapp would be awesome
If you listen to these pundits properly you will see how magnificent Jamie’s memory is…absolute golden
Cantona would be GOLD!! Please get him on for a chat 🙏
He was meant to be on Crouch’s podcast but were told he wouldn’t mention anything to do with his football career, only his singing career, so I doubt he’d be a guest.
Wait why?@@Gregory155
How about if we just get United players only?!
Can you tell me what it is ? Is it just like spongecake with chocolate cover+
I agree totally
Surely cadburys mini rolls have contacted Keano about doing an advert by now 😂
You'd be surprised how dense some companies are, he's giving em free press ...why pay him to do that?!?
@@thefacelessquestion3333 especially in this climate
He would never say yes to it. And they know.
@@thefacelessquestion3333he’ll say it’s for charity😅
They are the GOAT of deserts in fairness!
I've lived in Spain for over 20 years now, and I've played plenty of footy over here. The Rio anecdote about Busquets saying they played "boom, boom, boom" and his hand gestures, he's actually referring to them as being very physical with their challenges and banging into them instead of intercepting the ball cleanly.
boom dive boom dive boom dive
Dude, How is the salarys in Spain for lets say IT sector?
@@Recoba57 lower than uk tho cost of living is far lower. higher than portugal
The friendship between Roy and Ian 💚
So interesting to hear Rio's comment regarding QPR and wages right after Les Ferdinand's interview
Just goes to show the difference in generational players
It's so special to see these former greats break bread together and talk about the beautiful game. I love it.
Oh shut up
@@matthewdoyle3877 lol
@@matthewdoyle3877who pissed in your cornflakes
Cringe
"Break bread" man went all biblical on it 🤣
Incredible how manager mindset influences a team. I remember Sir Alex being interviewed when he was Aberdeen manager, they had just beaten Rangers in the cup final, yet he was furious about their performance. That's a perfectionist, that's a winner 😊
He very nearly lost the dressing room because of that. A lot of that Aberdeen team don't talk to him
@@calumhyder339-A better question is how did Aberdeen do after Ferguson and how did Ferguson do after Aberdeen?
@@calumhyder339 He won a league and cup double the following season so pretty clear he knew what he was doing.
Sol Campbell talking about his time moving to Arsenal would be amazing
Problem is he would spend a hour telling us he doesn't get a job because of his skin colour
@@Timekeeper1200😂
@@Timekeeper1200yeah sure he would
@Timekeeper1200 and he'd have a point.
@@jc-16.He wouldn't. He's been absolutely shite in his last two managerial jobs yet still went on talksport ages ago and made out he's been unfairly overlooked for other jobs since. Playing the race card when it's nothing to do with race is embarrassing.
I’m happy Rio called rashford out for once
Same. I think Rashford isn't playing for the manager and wants him gone tbh. We know he's a quality player
@@ryanross5687rashford had been not playing for the manager??? for how many sacked manager now? Get off his nuts mate. He is part of why manU dressing room is toxic af......😂😂😂 Quality player? He play for the club.....and fans....not just the manager.......but sure...keep rashford😂😂😂
He wanted to be the hero publicly so unlucky if the press are all over you now
1) everyone seems to forget Rashford played through multiple injuries to help the team including a broken back. 2) He's been excepted to single handly win matches for United 3) its been widely reported that he's lost a couple of people very close to him that's going to effect anyone. You lot forget the human element in the game, give the guy a break ffs
Yes. People make excuses for Rashford that they would never make for another player.
I find the conversation on the england team dynamics so fascinating in how each time they revisit England they seem to reveal more about the interpersonal dynamics and the psychology that SAF drilled into Man United players. Wrighty's comment about them just seeming like these fascinating winning machines or drones, and Gary's about how they always seemed exclusive due to how their standards were so sharp regarding being first and being early, and being bonded as brothers, just fascinating
Dinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldo upfront. Cafu Roberto Carlos fullbacks. Goosebumps.
He forgot to mention kaka as well 😄
I don’t remember Goosebumps but he must have been good to get into that team
@@niallnomcourse he was, he Gave fullbacks the freedom to join upfront
@@WhittakerBoxingHe didn’t play at the tournament. Took Rivaldo place the following year
@@DynamiteT He made a substitute appearance at the 2002 world cup.
I must say.. Roy is an absolute class act. Whenever there is a guest he allows them to shine. Drops a gem or two but predominantly allows the guest to shine! 👏
Nonsense. He loves the sound of his own voice.
@@Ricky-yf1ruyou love that hard-stuck perception of a man you’ve never met
Roy's a great guy I've met him personally
Pedro is a criminally underrated footballer.
David Villa is often forgotten these days as well, brilliant players
@@TheBosmanViewing Yep. Villa's name never gets brought up in conversation about top strikers.
@@iancoughlan5because he was good but he wasn’t top. There were better forwards of the time
@@tomzablee still underrated
@@tomzablee no there are many bigger names, but they are not better forwards, David Villa is top striker, one of the best finisher i've seen.
I love when these lot get together…just nice and easy chatting no script and all natural.
Mad respect for rio putting his kids before his career. Amazing father and true man.
Please bring Sir Alex Ferguson as the next overlap guest. Great show as always ❤️
What and sit next to Roy Keane lol
You havnt even watched it yet
@@grahamgibbins8071 I mean that would be incredible
@@grahamgibbins8071exactly....never going to happen!
@@grahamgibbins8071 hahaha I don't think Overlap would host a boxing fight.
Carragher gets his own plate, wrighty hands them out to everyone before himself, class
What do you expect from a guy that spits on people?
tbf the plates are near Wright
Typical scouser
Wrighty was raised right
Whats he supposed to do put his food on a plate with 5 other plates underneath?
Love Rio. Really appreciated the candor about his family challenges and prioritizing his kids. Guest recs 1. Sol Campbell 2. Ince 3. Thierry Henry 4. Ricky gervais 5. Brazilian Ronaldo 6. Lebron James (part Liverpool owner I believe) 7. One of the referees that sent Roy off 8. Glenn Hoddel 9. Dwight Yorke
Rio would not be my favourite pundit but enormous respect for this roundtable. Really interesting to see him in this environment. The comments on QPR also link nicely with the chat with last week's episode. Always great content 🙏
Love the Ian Wright knock on effect at the beginning, everyone dishing out the compliments in the pre-set haha
Imagine being a professional footballer earning near £400k a week and people still finding excuses for your inability to work hard and doing what you are paid to do. Absolute shambles. Hope Ineos are smart enough to recognize the issues they need to solve
Because we live in shitty society, not many good, strong, characteristic people left
Disgusting hypocrisy!
Rio is a kind kind man. Hearing him talk about his kids, what a guy and what a heart. ❤
So much respect for Rio and how he has worked to have the career he has today with everything him and his family had gone through. I can't even imagine.
Absolute banger of an episode, think some people forget just how elite of a defender Rio was. The original rolls Royce, mr white shorts after 90 minutes!
Completely agree he was a brilliant player
Bobby Moore was the original rolls Royce
@@roykeane1922Beckenbauer too, same era & would have complemented Moore perfectly.
I like his curiosity. Asking questions. His thirst for football when he was coming up. A sponge for football knowledge and self-improvement all that good stuff.
Probably the best overlap we've seen so far. Big ups Rio what a legend 👌
🤦🏻
It only came out 10 minutes ago lol
After 5 minutes you came to that conclusion... Nice one
It's been out for 9 minutes, man.
From the future ?!
Such a pleasure to watch and hear what these ex professionals have to say! Very genuine show and very knowledgeable individuals.
Anyone else noticed how much Roy Keane loves a good nibble.😂😂 Every episode he's always eating something; whether it's a little snack, something with his tea or a good meal; he's just always enjoying his food. Even in other things like his appearance in the Beckham doc, he was just snacking away. Truly love that for him😂
As Roy said could you imagine the pushing was the other way around.
Facts!!!!!!!!
Roy keeps it real
They all panicked too when he said it and changed subject. 😂
What's the timestamp for this? I can't find
" you and Vidic , boom boom boom " 😂
whats the time stamp of this? can't seem to find it
@@adammedz 40:28
Busquets and Barcelona “dive dive dive” and referees helping them out both in 2009 and 2011.
@@shahzadirani You are funny guy...😅
I've said it before, but I'll say it again - this is the single best sports discussion show being made anywhere today.
we aint deaf or blind, you dont have to repeat your personal opinion
I actually checked that I wasn't accidentally watching a repeat of an old show when they were talking about Rushford, they've all had this conversation before, almost word for word.
Same with Carra talking about Roy, must be the 5th time he’s told that story 😂
This is the best of Rio I've seen in a while. Actually spoke sense and gave a different view point than his usual
I think it would be incredible if you could get either Patrick Vieraor Thierry Henry on the podcast. Deffo be the most popular yet!
Wouldn't be surprised if we see Henry on this podcast in the next 6 months
This is the best thing to watch at the moment. Great TV, natural banter and honest conversation.
Makes my day seeing a new episode released. This was up there with the best one.
Jamie is right about Rasford, he’s an okay player, not getting at him all.
He decides when he wants to try and when he doesn’t feel like it, he’s a disgrace to the United badge
If he was an okay player it wouldn’t be a problem for me. What’s incredibly frustrating is that there’s a top player in there that just disappears and appears as he chooses fit.
Still overrating him saying his the level behind the likes of a Salah. It's not the level below it's about 3 levels, not even in the same stratosphere of these elite world class level players.
@@brettpearce8843yep, he's martials at best. If he wasn't local he'd have been gone years ago.
@@brettpearce8843Last season both Salah and Rashford scored 30 goals.. Rashford had 6 more appearances, but that still shows levels are not all that different when Rashford is on it. I would agree he doesn't deserve it if there is such bad consistency but the reason some mention these things is he's shown he can be at times. Rashford is also 5 years younger.
The most mature Rio I've seen. Respectful to the environment and the questions. Still a threatening wolf but shields it well. Spoke eloquently and Intelligently.
Don’t forget to zip it back up when you’re done. Absolutely cringe comment.
@@river2352🤣😂
Genuinely, this channel is one of the best things on KZhead let alone normal TV! Fantastic job.
Rio, Absolute Legend! Best centre back the Prems ever seen!!
There’s something magical about Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Rio Ferdinand eating Nandos together 🥲
There really isn't
Yip definitely not magical
You're not an adult are you
@@matthewadshead8160everyone’s entitled to an opinion, have a heart
What like? What's magical about that?
everytime i watch an episode it reminds me of what football used to be… sad those days are over now but props to gary and the team for bringing these feelings back
All iv got to say is class! You all make this show so good and put a smile on my face. Respect to you all and thank you for such a good show 👌🏻
Easily the best show/podcast to watch. Always great guest, great team at overlap. Keep them coming. Absolutely love it and look forward to the next one every time ❤
The excuses the media can find for Rashford is just amazing. And they always start with 'he's a great player, but'. Is he though? Absolutely not.
He's absolutely rubbish, its because he got that MBE
He is okey. Prem league level. But not world beater.
You know people don't believe what they're saying when it's X, Y, Z but..... Nobody says VVD, Salah, KDB ect are world class, but ... They're just world class full stop. If you have to argue the point someone is world class it proves they're not.
I've never seen such an average, uncharismatic player dominate the media attention like this before. His PR team are without doubt the best in the business.
Would he realisiticallty be a starter for even a club like West ham?? NO! @@WRNWRW
I love how Ian shortens everyones name, Ri, Gal, Jay ❤
Well spotted jil
I was wondering why he was he calling him Gal. Confused me a lot heheheh
Ain't that normal 😂
@think it's a london thing gal for gary ,wer i live it's gazkapowwowlearning
U forgot roy
The insights into David Moyes is essential viewing for anyone following Klopp at Liverpool - absolutely fascinating. This podcast is gold.
This show is gold. Watch on KZhead and listen on Spotify whilst at work. Very satisfying listen from players i always respected. Even Carragher😂😂😂
I probably found the “little nuggets” joke way more funnier than anyone else 😂😂 that was wit at its best
She’s so quick it’s brilliant
Bro I laughed so hard she’s actually hilarious and quick with it.
I was choking man hahaha. That was brilliant 😂😂😂
I was choking on my drumstick
Wrighty's "Have we?!" to the Nandos at the start 😂😂
Love the way Roy and gary are with each other, roy sliding jokes, roasters on him, gary laughing at it.always being respectful, amazing show
I cant express with words how EPIC this show is!! Its like a sunday lunch with the family (we Croatians prefere lunch over diner) and it feels all warm inside. BRILINAT GUYS,JUST JUST BRILIANT!
Just sell rashford or we’ll keep having this conversation we’ve been having for 8 years
Correct. Hate Utd but Rashford and Fernandez should be long gone.
fernandes*
I think he can hang around to be squad player. He is okey. Not best.
he’ll be sold the season after this one if he performs bad again next season he’ll be gone no questions asked
@@scripted644 I bet we’ll make the same excuses for him to stay another season.
My favourite podcast! Literally can’t wait for it to come out every week! Class 🙌
Always liked Rio. He was under a lot of pressure not just when he joined United, but when he went to Leeds too. He was a British transfer record when he went there and I remember seeing his debut live at Filbert Street. He had a rocky start and Leicester won convincingly 3 - 1, but faced the challenge and became a better player for it.
love all the banter between each of the casts and guests!
The best ive ever hear Rio speak. Brilliant.
Traitor
Best football show ever. Real conversations, real entertainment. No fluff 👍🏻
roy kicking off about the mini roles is golden 'i love me mini rolls'
Good interview. But hearing Rio talk about QPR player’s not training because they’re ONLY on 60k a week is absolutely ridiculous… They’ve got the best job in the world. I’d be on the pitch 24/7. Some folk don’t know how lucky they have it… Good to hear the legend Roy Aitken get a mention. Rio was a class CB.
1:25:24 Roy hits Jamie with the question we've all been asking lmfaooo
What did he say?
These five are the perfect little gang, always great banter, great knowledge of the game, fantastic chemistry and the special guests have all been amazing. Even the production crew are great. Love this show 😊
You don't need to point out who's the one that doesn't gel with the gang 👀
@@killian7120 I think they all gel brilliantly, that was the point of my original comment.
Absolutely brilliant interview with Rio I had always wanted this one to happen. His stories are amazing.
Would love to see Ralf Rangnick as a guest!
Great shout 👏🏼
Open heart surgery!
Henry next please! World class and won the lot. Woukd love a bit more Arsenal or Chelsea representation on here
Finally, good to see Rio on this!!! Wanted to see him Interact with Carragher, Neville and Keano
What a tremendous episode. Good on Rio to prioritize his family over a management career.
Rio at his best! Comes across really well here! So relaxed an knowledgeable
Rio had alot of fun here, good to see lads
I was binge watching some old episodes and was wondering today itself when will they get Rio on the show and they did! Gonna enjoy this one
The best thing on KZhead! Not just soccer, not just sport; the best show! Get entertaining, knowledgeable and interested people together and allow Gary Neville to ringmaster it. The ability and acumen of Gary Neville, as well as his willingness to allow others to be more knowledgeable and take the lead when it is warranted, along with his lack of ego when they needle him and his self deprecation is incredible. Could write all night about this panel and the ‘chemistry’ but I need to listen!
Love having Gil on here, week after week, consistently got cracking banter!
Still watching but the interaction between Rio and carra is amazing
In what sense?
I must’ve missed that
man I love this show .. just gets a smile on my face .. thanks to all the STF team!
You know, might just be my favorite one so far, brilliant stuff!
Best thing out there on any channel or feed. Awesome show!
Neville's interview with Rashford in the pre season spoke volumes about Rashford's strange attitude towards the manager when asked about training.
I thought it was just me that noticed that
What did he say?
Love how you let your guests talk. Top stuff.
Great episode no other podcast even close to this,great chemistry..my generation..keep it up👊💪
Rashford was not only United's golden boy but also England's golden boy coming onto the scene. The drop in performance was always going to be a big topic.
Rio smashed this ep. Love to see it
Mini Rolls really need to get Roy on an ad.
That edit early doors on the back of the convo with the Preston manager “we’ve got some Nando’s comin’”, “‘Ave we??” 😂
Haha the only time Keano fires up is at reminiscing training. Pure gold. You can tell there's very little relationship between Rio and Keano
During the era he went off on the Prawn Sandwich Brigade rant (05) called out Rio. Said he was a little too slack and thought he'd already made it after not proving that much.
Can tell by the way Rio doesnt look at him once. Only at Gary when talking. Rio is overated and has a massive ego
Hes looked at keane about 10 times in , its fear @MxGoliath
@MxGoliath 100%, he used to make some howlers in his day, but was in a superb team. He's a big man with presence and that always helps. Still , I rated him as a player, but Def overated by some. Most likely by Keano too obviously 🤣
Give over. He made a few mistakes, not many. He was one of the greatest defenders we've seen. Overrated my ass!
This has become the Stick to Man Utd podcast.
Alot of the biggest names in english football played for man u
I miss the days when Les Ferdinand and Eddie Hearn were playing up front for United.
yeah they only need to bring on fergies love child in TWITTAARD WEBBCHESTER now that would be something else
Totally agree. Yes, they've had guests that didn't play for man utd but most episodes have an ex-man utd player on.
Rio as guest, what do you expect them to talk about - Norwich?
Rashford is 26 already. He is meant to be the experienced player. What is Wright on about?
Like Keano said, nobody is giving him a kick up the arse. 30 goals last season, not in double figure yet this season. Enough said.
He’s the new Jesse Lingard
Best football chat bar none. Just keeps getting better. Roy's shrewd smile 😂
@52:38 When that bottle of water came in, double taked thinking it was vodka. Some heavy pours there 😂
The way the players describe that Barca team is scary. They were truly the best team of all time. Barca took their souls that game.
Ac Milan of the 90's would destroy Barcelona. Best left back in history... Maldini. One of the 2 best sweepers in history... Baresi. One of the greatest right backs... Tassoti. One of the greatest central defenders in history..Costacurta. All italian internationals. Playing in the hardest league in Seria A. That was the top level then. Defensive Midfield.. Rijjkard. Middle.. Donadoni , Ancellotti, Gullit and Seedorf. Up front Van Basten ( 3 balloon Dor's and greatest centre forward in history). Along with R9. Papan was the other forward. You think Messi was better than R9, you people are delusional. Milan would strangle the midfield. The defense would be like a chain around your neck. Van Basten would have a field day with the Barcelona circus at the back. People need to wake up!
@@tdmprofit3708Not a hope, that Barcelona team from 08-12 was the greatest ever, football we never see again and Messi the 🐐was the greatest player ever!!
@@garyoconnor7004pumped up on performance enhancers
@@tdmprofit3708 why are you making me talk bad about that Milan team? I would never disrespect them but…no…they wouldn’t “destroy” Barca. I think you forgot how good Barca was. From all the teams in history, Milan was one of the greatest teams of all time but Barca is above them all. We have never seen telepathic football like that before or after that Barca team under Pep. It is easily the greatest team of all time. They played faster than opponents were able to think or act. Strange the midfield? Barca were the best pressers and passers in the world aside from being technically superior so if anything they’d both press each other like madmen but Barca would outplay them as well. Also, you don’t have to lie to make your point either. - Even R9 admitted Messi said Messi from early. - Maldini said he was lucky to not face Messi at the time. - Also no need to disrespect Messi when he was getting GOAT shouts in 2010 Milan was legendary but Barca was next level stuff.
Madrid that won 3 champions leagues in a row were better. Absolute monsters in every position. Ramos Kroos Modric Benzema Bale Ronaldo Varane Marcelo. Absolute monsters
