Paul, Nicky and Paddy react to Manchester United’s win over Manchester City and what it could mean for the club’s future. Paul reveals what genuinely surprised him about Michael Carrick’s demeanour on the touchline, and the lads debate whether Carrick could end up getting the job full-time if United maintain the level they showed against City. Paul and Nicky also address the criticism of their recent comments about Lisandro Martínez, including the defender’s post-match remarks aimed at them, before turning their attention to Manchester City and asking the big question: could Pep Guardiola walk away at the end of the season? Hollywood royalty then joins the studio as Tom Hiddleston drops in for a chat. The Night Manager star reveals how he landed the role of Loki, the moment he discovered it would be part of the wider Avengers saga, and who he believes is the Sir Alex Ferguson of the movie world. Tom explains why being part of a film cast and crew feels a lot like being in a football dressing room, how Euro ’96 sparked his love of the game, and why Arsenal is his team. He also opens up about how Scholesy helped calm his nerves ahead of playing at Old Trafford and the invaluable advice he received from Emma Hayes. Plus, Tom turns interviewer himself with a book full of questions for the lads. Elsewhere, Nicky reveals which England rugby international was once a goalkeeper at Manchester United, Scholesy names his top five for the Premier League this season, and the lads reflect on how much football has changed, from Sir Alex massaging players to physios doing the dinners. There’s also a candid look back at the bad blood between Roy Keane and Peter Schmeichel, including when tensions turned physical. ⚽️ Check out Mitre’s range available on Mitre.com If you want to ask the guys anything about football email them at: [email protected].
