Can Anybody Stop Arsenal? The Return Of Man United’s DNA & Receiving Fergie’s Hairdryer!

Paddy, Scholesy and Nicky are joined by former WBC cruiserweight world champion — and proud Evertonian — Tony Bellew for a new episode of The Good, The Bad & The Football.
Tony opens up on the most nervous ring walk of his life, revealing why fighting for a world title at Goodison Park felt more daunting than stepping into any other arena. He shares the unbelievable story of how Ross Barkley played a part in landing him a role in Creed, why he thought the call was a wind-up, and the mind games he used to get under David Haye’s skin before their first fight.

The conversation also turns to boxing’s biggest debates: who Tony thinks is the greatest British fighter ever, whether he has respect for Jake Paul, and why a boxer’s mindset matters far more than their physique. Plus, Tony reveals the extreme lengths he went to in order to make weight for his first world title shot.
On the football side, the lads react to Manchester United’s dramatic 3-2 win over Fulham and discuss whether Michael Carrick’s low managerial profile could prevent him landing the job full-time. They debate if Manchester City’s draw with Tottenham has handed the Premier League title to Arsenal, and what Thomas Frank may have said at half-time to spark Spurs’ second-half resurgence. They also weigh up whether Mikel Arteta would walk away from Arsenal this summer if he fails to win the league from here.

Scholesy and Nicky also reminisce about one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s most legendary half-time team talks, when United came from 3-0 down to beat Tottenham 5-3. And with Tony praising David Moyes’ work at Everton and West Ham, the panel discuss whether he deserved more time at Old Trafford and why modern managers need more power inside football clubs than they’re given today.
