JJ Watt Talks Burnley, Gary Neville Calls Out Arsenal & Spurs in Freefall | It’s Called Soccer EP 18

from It's Called Soccer! · host The Overlap

In this episode of It’s Called Soccer, Rebecca Lowe, Gary Neville, and Jamie Carragher dive into the week’s biggest football stories with special guest JJ Watt. The show kicks off with a special moment as Jamie Carragher reacts to his son, James Carragher, scoring his first professional goal for Wigan Athletic. Jamie reflects on the emotions of watching his son follow in his footsteps and what it means for his career. The discussion then turns to Tottenham's struggles, as their disastrous form continues and frustration among the fans reaches a boiling point. With supporters turning on Daniel Levy and questions growing over Ange Postecoglou's tactics, the panel debates what’s next for Spurs and if the problems go beyond the manager. At Manchester United, Ruben Amorim is making headlines again with his harsh criticism of Marcus Rashford’s attitude and work rate. His brutal honesty is dividing opinions—some see it as the wake-up call United need, while others believe it’s only creating more problems inside the dressing room. The spotlight then shifts to Arsenal, where yet another controversial red card decision has fans furious. Myles Lewis-Skelly’s sending-off has sparked debate over officiating consistency, and former FIFA referee Christina Unkel joins the show to break it all down. The panel also discusses the fallout from the backlash aimed at referee Michael Oliver and whether the outrage over decisions is justified. Finally, JJ Watt joins the show for an exclusive interview. The NFL legend and Burnley co-owner shares what it’s like being involved in English football, his thoughts on Burnley’s promotion hopes, and why James Trafford’s penalty heroics and shithousery make him a true fan favorite. The conversation then shifts to the NFL as Watt gives his Super Bowl predictions and explains why Patrick Mahomes is the Messi of American football.
