After Paul Scholes’ comments went viral following a loss to 10-man Newcastle, Rio went to do some investigating to work out what his former team mate was really saying about the job Michael Carrick is doing.
After revealing what Scholesy told him, what Iniesta said about Scholes in a chance meeting and why Patrice Evra came out in defence of Carrick - Rio and Ste look at why people are perhaps discrediting Arsenal for their potential title win this season.
Rio is full of praise for Arteta’s ability to re-invent his team and make them stronger and suggests there is much more respect for Arsenal in Europe compared to their perception in England.
There were also two starts over the weekend for the players that Rio identified as England’s next stars as Rio Ngumoah and Max Dowman both played key roles in their club's FA Cup victories - you’ll hear what separates the top players from the rest when they break into the first team and also why academies aren’t preparing young central defenders properly for the rigours of the modern game.
