Rant Cast

#596. Ed & Wayne look back on the World Cup quarter finals and exit for plucky England. Then there's some United action too, with the Reds playing two friendlies this week against Spanish opposition and some pretty awful financial results.

#595. The World Cup is well into the knockout phase and Ed & Dan have thoughts. Mostly about England. And Mbappe. And Gareth Southgate. And Jude Bellingham.

#594. World Cup chat with Ed & Tom. The group stage draws to a close and it's fair to say that the football has been both dramatic and high quality. Most of the major nations have made it through, although not Germany and not Luis Suarez' Uruguay. What's the German word for that feeling when you enjoy the misfortune of others? Hmmmm!

#593. We're almost through two rounds of the World Cup group stages and there's some decent football. England were good, then very bad. Lionel Messi was bad, then very good. And Ronaldo, well he stunk. Even Harry Maguire can claim a decent tournament so far. Ed & Dan discuss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

#592. It's been a momentous week for departures. First, Cristiano Ronaldo's exit was confirmed by "mutual consent" and then in the main segment of the show, Ed & Dan discuss the Glazer family putting the club up for sale.

#590. Ed and Tom look forward to the World Cup and with 16 Reds heading to Qatar there's plenty of United interest. But first, a short chat about another World Cup-bound player, Cristiano Ronaldo.

#589. Ed talks to May Romanos and Fabien Goa from Amnesty International about the human cost of the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. We touch on issues surrounding women's rights, LGBTQ rights, migrant workers, wage theft and indentured servitude, before asking how fans should be thinking about the tournament. Hosted on Acast.

#588. A former host joins to look back on the season to date and ahead to the World Cup and beyond. Recorded before Ronaldo did his thing with Piers Morgan. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#587. We head into the World Cup with United securing a late victory at Craven Cottage. This wasn't a perfect performance, but it was an entertaining one - personified by Alejandro Garnacho's injury time winner. A star is born. Episode recorded before a washed up old hack heard a washed up old footballer complain about being irrelevant. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#586. United lose at Aston Villa for the first time since 1995. Ed & Wayne digest a disappointing afternoon in Birmingham, where the local culinary delicacies were also sampled. Then we look ahead to the League Cup on Thursday and take in the Europa League draw. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#585. Victory for United but defeat in the pursuit of first place in the Europa League group. Ten Hag's men will now face a two-legged playoff against a Champions League loser next February. Ed & Dan digest a strong first half and a weird second half at Anoeta. Then it's on to Villa at the weekend. No Steven Gerrard to mock, but three more points up for grabs anyway. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#584. Another important win, another step forward under Ten Hag. Perhaps this United side has something about them after all. It wasn't fluent against West Ham at Old Trafford, but United dug in at important times and held out for a win, three points, and yet more evidence of progress. Ed & Tom discuss and then look forward to Thursday's game against Real Sociedad in the Europa. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

#583. United beat Sheriff at Old Trafford, but all anybody wants to talk about is Antony's 720 degree spin. Was it entertainment? Was it showboating? Both, perhaps, though the pundits seem to be united in their condemnation. Ed & Wayne wonder when it became against the rules to have fun. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#582. United come back from a goal down to secure a very late draw at Chelsea. A fantastic point gained or disappointment that superiority over the 90 minutes didn't result in victory? Ed & Dan discuss. There's much to unpack, including another excellent performance by goalscorer Casemiro, Rafael Varane's injury and another step forward under Ten Hag. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#581. Probably the best performance under Ten Hag, perhaps even for many years. United were dominant against Spurs at Old Trafford; a dynamic performance that offers some insight into the team that the manager is still trying to build. Ed & Dan thoroughly enjoyed it. But it can't only be good news, can it, with Cristiano Ronaldo dominating the headlines by leaving the game and ground early. In this week's interview, Ed talks to author Ryan O'Hanlon about his new book, Net Gains. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#580. United vs Saudi FC at Old Trafford. That state of modern football. Wearing the national team colours, Newcastle left with a point, but it really should have been victory for Ten Hag's side. United were robbed by the ref and VAR and guilty of missing two huge chances. Ed & Tom look back on a frustrating afternoon. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#579. "How the days stretched out - each one the same as the one before, and they would continue to do so, tediously, until the end of history." - William Shakespeare on the Europa League. And while the Bard is not known to have been a Manchester United fan, he would surely have enjoyed The Scottish Player (II) stroking home a fine late winner. Under the floodlights, on a 'special' European night. Ed & Dan discuss. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#578. Ed & Wayne discuss a hard-fought victory at Goodison Park and plenty of guts from a United team that has not always been resilient in recent years. Is this the corner turned? After a humiliating defeat to Manchester City last weekend, Ten Hag's team has secured two away victories in a row. No small thing. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

#577. United come back from behind to beat Omonia Nicossia, but could we really learn much from the victory? The win leaves United in a decent position to qualify from the group stage but may need to beat Real Sociedad away later this month to top the group. Ed & Tom discuss the performance in Cyprus and look ahead to Sunday's game against Everton at Goodison Park. ** No Question About That is listener supported.
