Rio is back in the studio and joined by Joel Beya and Ste Howson where the trio reflect on Manchester United's 4-1 victory at Wolves and the latest developments following Mohamed Salah's outburst about his lack of playing time at Liverpool this season.After it was reported that manager Ruben Amorim left his players alone at half-time, Rio discusses the different tactics that managers use in order to effectively communicate their message and praises Mason Mount as United's yard-stick for players performing in the current system.Rio also suggests Kobbie Mainoo should push for a move away in January in order to not “waste” any more of his career and contrasts the comments made by former United winger Alejandro Garnacho who says it was an easy decision to leave the club because he has the “trust” of his new gaffer, Enzo Maresca.After admitting that Mohamed Salah should have articulated himself in a better way, Rio launches a defence of the record-breaking winger and suggests that established players like Virgil Van Dijk and Andy Robertson could play a vital role in rehabilitating Salah back into the squad - comparing his conversations with Wayne Rooney who spoke out against the manager when Rio was a senior player at Man Utd.

Fans across the world are eagerly anticipating the finale of the Formula 1 season this weekend, but how much of that is down to the sport, and how much is due to the dramatisation of everything that is F1 on the Netflix series Drive to Survive?This week Sinead and Gav marvel at how F1 has cracked America with the help of Netflix, and wonder what Irish sports and teams could benefit from a more open attitude towards documentary series makers.They discuss which behind-the-scenes shows have been a success, and which have left the viewers feeling short-changed as subjects, such as David Beckham and Wayne Rooney, control their own narrative.And, in the spirit of open access, Sinead and Gav consider how much they'd like it if a camera crew were given full access to The Journal and The 42 tomorrow.

Wayne Rooney war Englands größte Naturgewalt und trotzdem einer der meistverkannten Weltstars seiner Ära. Ein Straßenfußballer aus Croxteth, der Rekorde brach, Titel gewann und an den Erwartungen eines ganzen Landes fast zerbrach.Malte Asmus erzählt eine Geschichte zwischen Wucht und Zweifel, Genie und Überdruck, Boulevard und Weltklasse und erklärt, warum dieser Wayne Rooney trotzdem unerreicht bleibt.

We welcome back Sir Gareth Southgate to High Performance for his most open and reflective conversation yet. In this episode, Gareth breaks his silence on England's “almost” era, revealing the fear of failure, pressure of history, and fine margins that have shaped his time as manager. He discusses the burden of expectation, the culture of small daily habits and respect he's built, and the empathy and vulnerability that define his modern approach to leadership.From handling Wayne Rooney's retirement to protecting players from public scrutiny, Southgate opens up about the realities of leading under relentless pressure, the evolution of England's team culture, and what legacy truly means beyond trophies.This is a rare, honest conversation with one of football's most thoughtful leaders, about resilience, accountability, and what it really takes to lead a nation.
In the hot seat this week is Martyn Waghorn. Waghorn was a young pro at Sunderland during the time Browny was making waves on and off the pitch. Despite ‘looking after' Waghorn, Browny did forget to tip him for cleaning his boots so there is a score to settle right off the bat here. With a path into the first team blocked Waghorn dropped down to Leicester following a successful loan spell and got his first taste of first team football under Sven Goran Erikkson. When Rangers came knocking it was impossible not to jump at the move even though they were playing in Scottish Championship at the time, witnessing a true juxtaposition of playing at Ibrox to teams who rented out their local pitches after matches. Returning to England Waghorn got to play under footballing legends Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney and encounter a serious array of young footballers coming through including the likes of Viktor Gyökeres, Mason Mount & Fikayo Tomori.

Steven Gerrard is the latest guest who sits down with Rio to show a different side of them that's not been seen before on camera. He picks out two English midfielders that he'd love to go toe-to-toe with and details all of the reasons why the national side weren't successful during his time as an international footballer. The Liverpool and England legend is honest about what went wrong whilst managing Aston Villa and also analyses some of the recruitment decisions taken by the Liverpool hierarchy when he was there as a player which he says the club got “badly wrong”. There's amazing insight into what drove his ability to wrestle control of games, candid reflections on negative moments from his career and he carefully analyses some of the highest profile midfielders he played with and against including Roy Keane, Patrick Vieira, Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard and Xabi Alonso. And, he gives his say about the debate that former team mate Michael Owen sparked on a previous episode - who's better between him and Wayne Rooney. Hosted on Acast.

Michael Owen brings his Ballon d'Or trophy for this episode and he leaves Rio Ferdinand in no doubt about how good he felt he was as a young player. Rio has wanted to do this interview for years because he wanted to show everyone watching and listening a different side to one of just four Englishman to win the most coveted individual award in world football. After admitting he was on the decline when he got the Ballon d'Or, Owen discusses his career and the unshakeable self-belief he had in his own ability from when he was a schoolboy. He names the striker who impresses him most in the game today, reveals his concerns about the lack of good English strikers and states why he's so confused about Harry Kane's move to Bayern Munich. Owen also has his say on the comparisons between himself and Wayne Rooney, the differences between him and Robbie Fowler and why he's still adamant that nobody will ever get close to his achievements at such a young age.
