Rant Cast

Another challenging week José Mourinho’s side: a crushing defeat at Newcastle followed by victory over Huddersfield in the cup. Defeat in the north east drags United further into a five-way race for Champions League qualification, although a place in the FA Cup quarter-final comes with a favourable home draw. Also on the show this week a look ahead to United’s Champions League game against Sevilla in Spain and the weekend’s fixture with Chelsea. There are plenty of listener questions and, for backers, 20 minutes of rambling about the Winter Olympics.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

From a sound beating at Wembley to a safe victory at Old Trafford, it has been a mixed past week for Jose Mourinho’s side. Ed & Paul look back on defeat to Tottenham in north London and ask, “was that the worst defeat under Mourinho?” United gained some redemption with a solid, if not wholly impressive, win over Huddersfield in Manchester. There’s a look ahead to the weekend’s trip to Newcastle, plenty of listener questions, and for backers a competitive quiz. Ed v Paul for honour, glory, and the right to call that Alexis banner an embarrassment.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

Under Hush Park’s Friday night lights Alexis Sanchez made his Manchester United debut and the Reds won comfortably to progress in the FA Cup. In this week’s pod, Ed & Paul look back on a a productive night at Yeovil, and forward to games against Spurs at Wembley and Huddersfield at Old Trafford. For backers, we focus on three ex-Spurs players who ended up at United: Teddy Sherringham, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Carrick.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

Victory at Turf Moor, Alexis Sanchez confirmed, plenty of listener questions and a look forward to Friday night lights at Yeovil in the FA Cup. Ed & Paul look back on a tight match against Burnley in the Premier League and ahead to another cup trip to Yeovil, with the Somerset side currently 20th in League Two. For backers, we dive deep into the Sanchez deal and the player’s history. If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

It’s that time of year when the back pages are full of gossip about the world class players that United never sign. Except… well there’s one, isn’t there! Amid the discussion about transfers in and out, Ed & Paul look back on an enjoyable victory over Stoke City at Old Trafford  and ahead to the weekend’s game at Burnley. As always, there are plenty of listener questions and, for backers, a general chat about the state of the title race.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

After an extended festive break Ed & Paul have five games to review, including a disappointing run of results in both league and cup before the turn of the year. That changed with United’s victory over Everton at Goodison Park and an FA Cup win against Derby County. There are plenty of listener questions, a look ahead to United’s game against manager-less Stoke City next Monday, and a quick debate about Mourinho vs Conte, which has descended from accusations of “senility” to comments about match fixing and the Italian’s hairline. For backers, a look at the best United goal celebrations. If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

Two wins in a week following last weekend’s derby-day defeat, yet neither quite got Jose Mourinho’s side back on track. With the Premier League title race all but over, United’s victories over Bournemouth and West Bromwich Albion felt as flat as the Reds’ performance. Ed & Paul look back on United’s games in the past week and wonder when Mourinho’s side will get over this blip. There’s also a look ahead to a busy Christmas schedule, with games against Bristol City, Leicester and Burnley over the next week. As always, there’s plenty of listener questions and for Patreon backers a chat about classic Christmas films!   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

This pod would have been a lot more fun had Ed & Paul known about José Mourinho’s Manchester City dressing room incursion and the subsequent 20-man brawl. As it is, there’s a downbeat tone after the Blues comfortably beat United at Old Trafford. It leaves an 11-point gap at the top of the Premier League and the title probably heading towards the Etihad. After the storm comes Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Wednesday and then West Bromwich Albion in the Midlands next weekend. As always there’s plenty of listener questions and, for backers, a discussion about the 2018 World Cup.

Well, that’s better. The narrative surrounding José Mourinho’s side had become a little negative, not least because of United’s defeat at Stamford Bridge last month. Two resounding victories at Watford and then Arsenal have changed all that. Ed & Paul briefly look back on defeat to Basel in the Champions League in what was effectively a dead rubber that is very unlikely to alter United’s European fate. Then there’s United’s comfortable win at Vicarage Road and a dramatic victory at the Emirates to discuss. Also on the show a look ahead to games against CSKA Moscow in Europe and the derby with Manchester City at Old Trafford. As usual all your listeners questions and for backers a look at the best teams of the last 30 years.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

Yo, naysayers claiming that Paul Pogba is over-rated, too expensive and never turns up! Get. Back. In. Your. Box. Pogba is back. Bigger, stronger, and better than ever before. Boy did United miss him. After a difficult month, in which United lost two Premier League games to fall eight points behind Manchester City in the title race, José Mourinho’s men are back on course, with a thumping victory over Newcastle United – in no little part due to the Frenchman’s return. Ed & Paul digest all the fallout from the weekend victory at Old Trafford and look forward to games against Basel and Brighton & Hove Albion. As usual, there’s plenty of listener questions and for Patreon backers a look back at United’s FA Cup Finals (‘coz the Reds once played Brighton in a Cup Final, you know…)   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

It has been a busy fortnight since the last Rant Cast. José Mourinho’s side lost at Stamford Bridge – again – the manager criticised the fans – again – and everybody was bored by the international break – again. Ed & Paul look back on defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League – a loss that leaves United seven points behind City, and with just one league victory in four. Is this just a blip or has Mourinho’s side hit its limited – a team that just isn’t very good? Also on the show – listener questions and a look ahead to the weekend’s game against Newcastle United at Old Trafford.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

Victory for José Mourinho’s side against Tottenham Hotspur, so why was the United manager so animated post-match? Ed & Paul look back on a crucial victory at Old Trafford, together with games against Benfica, Swansea City and Huddersfield. Also on this week’s pod, a look ahead to Champions League action on Tuesday night and United’s game with Chelsea at the weekend.

José Mourinho’s side turned up at Anfield, parked the bus, and achieved precisely one shot on target for the second season in succession. Mourinho was delighted, Ed & Paul were not impressed. On this week’s pod, all the action from Anfield reviewed, listener questions, and a look ahead to games against Benfica and Huddersfield Town.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

It’s international week, which means football hipsters Ed & Paul have been busy watching Iceland vs Kosovo, Syria vs Australia, and Panama vs Costa Rica. Also on the show this week, there are *a lot* of listener questions – not that the show needed padding out or anything like that – and a look ahead to the weekend’s game vs Liverpool. Patreon backers get 20 minutes on great moments vs Liverpool during the past 20 years. Diego Forlan, John O’Shea and Patrice Evra feature heavily.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

You wait years for a 4-0 to turn up and then a whole bunch come along all at once. This week Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace became the latest victim of Manchester United’s favourite scoreline. It was so easy that José Mourinho’s men barely got out of first gear. Also on the show this week, Ed & Paul look back on another comfortable victory, this time in the Champions League, with the Reds scoring four at CSKA Moscow. Mourinho’s team should win the group at a canter. With no games to preview this week there’s a double length set of listener questions, while Patreon backers get 20 minutes on the life and times of David Beckham. Paul has moist knickers.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.
