Rooney described City’s dominant performance as one that would have sent “a chill down the spine of every Arsenal fan”, given how sharp Pep Guardiola’s men looked. But he also questioned — was City simply unstoppable, or did Liverpool fall short of their usual standards?

The trio also took time to praise Sunderland’s impressive league form, highlighting the leadership of captain Granit Xhaka, who Rooney believes could be “the signing of the season.” Drawing on his own experience as a captain, Rooney explained how seasoned leaders like Xhaka play a crucial role in guiding younger teammates through difficult matches.

They also tackled Jamie Carragher’s recent claim that the Premier League isn’t as competitive or entertaining as it once was — a statement Rooney strongly disagreed with, offering his own perspective on the league’s evolution.

The discussion didn’t stop there — the team analyzed Manchester United’s 2–2 draw with Tottenham, and Rooney shared his impressions from his visit to Everton’s new stadium, praising Jack Grealish’s consistency after another standout performance against Fulham.

General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has expressed confidence that his party will emerge victorious in the Akwatia by-election despite the New Patriotic Party (NPP) being considered favourites.

Speaking to the media during the polls on Tuesday, September 2, Mr. Kwetey acknowledged that the NPP’s incumbency naturally makes them the frontrunners.

“I would say the NPP were clearly holding the seat, so naturally, right from the beginning, they will be considered the favourites. But just as we did in the December 7 elections, where the NPP were tipped to win but we beat them convincingly, I believe the same thing will happen here,” he said.

Mr. Kwetey was optimistic that by the close of polls, the NDC would reclaim the Akwatia seat.

“Akwatia will be green before we leave here today,” he confidently declared.

The NDC General Secretary also dismissed claims that the NPP’s withdrawal from the Tamale Central by-election was in good faith. According to him, the opposition party pulled out simply because it stood no chance of winning.

“The truth is that the NPP knows they have no chance in Tamale Central. They can bring Bawumia, but he will lose miserably there. Their explanation was just a cover-up for their weak standing,” he argued.

He stressed that while the NPP’s decision in Tamale Central was a strategic move, the situation in Akwatia was entirely different.

“Akwatia is a constituency we believed we won on December 7, but it was declared for the NPP. We see this by-election as an opportunity for the people of Akwatia to make a clear and final choice between the NDC and the NPP,” Mr. Kwetey added.
