Welcome to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet! In this episode, Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes reflect on their journeys into punditry.


Scholes discusses his unexpected entry into the industry, while Carragher explains why he prefers the high-pressure environment of co-commentary over studio analysis. The duo also talks about the criticisms they've faced along the way, and reveal their on-air regrets!


The pair also touch on the impact of social media and how they deal with online backlash. Plus, find out why Jamie never went into coaching - despite giving it a try towards the end of his playing career.
