On this exclusive episode of The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, Ian Wright sits down with his former Arsenal teammate Dennis Bergkamp for a special catch up and proper football chat.

The two look back on their time at Arsenal, sharing memories from one of the club’s greatest eras and what life was really like in that dressing room. Dennis also gives his thoughts on the current Arsenal side, the pressure that comes with a title challenge, and how today’s game compares to when he was playing.

They talk through Dennis’ career, from moving to England and working under Arsène Wenger, to the art of finishing, the strikers he admired, and whether he thinks his game would suit modern football.
There’s also a look at international football, the Netherlands team, and the managers who had the biggest impact on his career.

Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

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?

Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

We start with the biggest talking point as Paul Scholes is challenged on his criticism of Lisandro Martínez, sparking a heated debate about pundit responsibility and whether players are judged too harshly.

The focus then shifts to the title race as Arsenal continue to fly and Manchester City look to close the gap. Arsenal fan Matt backs his side’s chances and makes the case for Declan Rice as a Ballon d’Or contender, while questions are also asked about Pep Guardiola and City’s tough January.

We also look at Manchester United, where Michael Carrick is in the spotlight, and debate whether he could earn a permanent role, plus where Bruno Fernandes ranks among the club’s greats.

Elsewhere, managerial pressure builds across the league with Chelsea, Spurs, Palace and West Ham all under discussion as fans give their views.
