#277. It's the hope that kills you, right? The frustration in scoring just once from 24 shots at goal is not that United failed to beat Stoke City at Old Trafford, but that José Mourinho's side should have won by a cricket score. United created "no sustained pressure," claimed Stoke manager Mark Hughes. Who was he kidding; this was the Reds' best performance of the season to date. In this week's show Ed & Paul also discuss United's Europa League victory over Zorya Luhansk. No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#276. In this week's show Ed & Paul meet to discuss United's trip to Northampton and the comfortable 4-1 win against Champions Leicester City. United looked like a different team at Old Trafford on Saturday, for no obvious reason that anyone could work out. They offer an in-depth preview of United's game against Zorya Luhansk on Thursday—or at least Ed tells us all where they play their home games—and look forward to the visit of Mark Hughes' stuttering Stoke City. No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#275. After the joy and optimism of August, Manchester United have crashed into September like some sort of thing crashing into a thing it definitely should not have crashed into. Ed & Paul convene to reluctantly discuss three defeats on the bounce for Jose Mourinho's men. The subject of Wayne Rooney inevitably comes up, as does chat about Pep out tactic-ing Jose, the abject defeat at Feyenoord and the omnishambles at Watford. In a profoundly against type turn of events, Ed is pretty upbeat whilst Paul is generally miserable about the whole affair.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#274. With the derby coming up, we decided to record a little bonus episode, chatting with Bleacher Report's Manchester City Correspondent and Manchester Evening News journalist Rob Pollard about the City perspective on the game. We talk Pep, obviously, and in spite of Paul's best efforts to keep the City love in to a minimum, Rob waxes lyrical about the career of Yaya Toure. Rob is very fair minded on United and has interesting things to say about the rivalry from a City perspective and working on a Sports Desk at the global epicentre of football.

#273. Another international week, another series of pointless World Cup qualifiers. Another crap England performance? Oh yeah! Injuries? You betchya! Players knackered after tens of thousands of miles on a plane. Sure thing! But at least there's the derby to look forward to. Ed & Paul preview another José Mourinho vs Pep Guardiola content as United host City at Old Trafford. The Spaniard has the edge in the head-to-head record, but whose team has settled better into the new season? As always there are plenty of listener questions.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#272. Feels good, doesn't it? Victory. Not just any victory though, but one achieved with a goal deep into 'Fergie Time'. The players loved it, the fans loved it. Even José Mourinho seemed to love it. In this episode Ed & Paul look back on United's win over Hull City at the KC through Marcus Rashford's 92nd minute winner. With no game next week, there's a look ahead to the international break and plenty of your questions.

Check! In this episode Ed & Paul look back on United's victory over Southampton at Old Trafford, including Paul Pogba's second United debut, Zlatan's double and LOTS of confidence gained. As ever, there are your questions and a look ahead to next week's game against Hull City.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#270. Back to that winning feeling. Last season United collapsed at Bournemouth - it seemed to say much about Louis van Gaal's team. No longer, with José Mourinho's side returning to Dean Court to seal a comfortable win, although not one that always brought back the style. That time will come, but for now the Portuguese has two victories from two competitive matches. Ed & Paul look back on United's opening Premier League match, look forward to Paul Pogba's return against Southampton this Friday and take your questions.

#269. Same old United, always winning - at Wembley. José Mourinho's team returned to the capital just 78 days after collecting the FA Cup to bag the Community Shield with victory over Leicester City. Much has changed in the interim: new manager, new faces, and a new belief that the dark times of the past three seasons are now over. Ed & Paul review United's performance at Wembley, and look forward to the new campaign proper, which begins against Bournemouth at Dean Court next weekend. There's a discussion about United's latest move in the transfer market - for Paul Pogba - your questions answered, and bonus content (for Patreon backers!)No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#268. Summer's gone, so sang the Boo Radleys. Not a few weeks since the final Euro 2016 ball was kicked and here we are gearing up for the start of the new campaign. Ed & Paul return with a review of United's pre-season efforts, a look at the evolving squad under José Mourinho, and a preview of this weekend's Community Shield against Leicester City at Wembley. No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#267. It's over. The longest, biggest and most negative (?) European Championships in history finished with Portugal, minus a hobbling Cristiano Ronaldo, beating France in Paris. Glory for Ronnie and Nani, tears for the French - Patrice Evra, Morgan Schneiderlin and Anthony Martial included.

#266. There's a 1,000 ways to leave your lover, but even more to miss a penalty. Italy and Germany went at it hammer and tongs for 120 minutes of enthralling Euro 2016 quarter-final action - only to produce one of the lowest quality (and most entertaining) penalty shoot-outs in history. The Euro pod covers this and the rest of the quarter-final actions - and looks forward to two semi-finals that will include, miraculously, Wales. All of that plus your questions, a look at two significant incoming transfers at United, and Ryan Giggs' departure after 29 years at the club.

#265. On the day the UK goes to the polls, the Euro pod looks back at the thrills and spills involved in major nations trying desperately not to go out of Europe. Ed & Paul talk through each of round of 16 fixtures, chatting about how each of those teams performed in the group stages. They take a look at France's underperformance, Wales making the preview episode look shoddy and ill-informed, Icelandic commentary and why Roy Hodgson really, really, REALLY should play Marcus Rashford. No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#264. Bonjour, et bienvenue à la deuxième Euro Cast! In this week's show Ed & Paul look back on the first round of games from France, where the hosts beat Romania through a stunning Dimitri Payet goal, England drew with Russia and Bastian Schweinsteiger scored for Germany. It has been a week of fine goals, some good entertainment and the odd surprise. And two brothers going at it without compromise.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#262. The end of United's season and for Louis van Gaal's time at the club. At least the old boy went out with some silverware to show for it after one of the most miserable campaign's in living memory ended with the Dutchman facing the sack. Van Gaal's time at United has been a failure, even if it concluded with the veteran coach defiantly parading the FA Cup in front of the media on Saturday night. Bye Louis, welcome, José. Ed & Paul cover all the main talking points from United's 2-1 extra time victory over Crystal Palace at Wembley. It was a classic 'game of two halves' (three!) which featured a spectacular winning goal from Jesse Lingard and a fine captain's performance from Wayne Rooney. Van Gaal's dismissal and Mourinho's arrival are covered in full, while there's a look back on the season with the coveted Awards. There will be a special series of Euro shows, covering the European Championships in France this summer.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spoti

#261. United failed to reach the Champions League for the second time in three years. Confirmation was delayed by 48 hours, but Manchster City's draw at Swansea all but guaranteed the Blues a place at the top table of European football. Despite beating Bournemouth on Tuesday, Louis van Gaal's side is out: of time, of the Champions League, of credibility. United had to beat the south coast side 19-0 on Tuesday and for 45 minutes it looked as if the season might end less with a bang than a Van Gaal-inspired whimper. The Reds at least rallied to offer long-suffering supporters a modicum of entertainment in the second period. Ed & Paul cover all the drama, with United's match called off in farcical circumstances, as well as the hastily rearranged match on Tuesday. Also this week you questions, a look ahead to the FA Cup final next Saturday, and the now weekly look at the managerial situation.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all go

#260. Just when Louis van Gaal's side has seemingly reached its nadir along comes a fresh blow. The FA Cup semi-final victory over Everton was a high, only partially puncture by a limp home draw against Champions Leicester.  City's home draw with Arsenal gave United real hope of making the Champions League and redeeming a season. Then came two dreadful performances on the road: in victory over Norwich City and defeat to West Ham United. Ed & Paul look back on United's win at Carrow Road and defeat in East London. Just how has Van Gaal allowed his team to retrench into old habits, even with the injury crisis over and progress supposedly being made? There are your questions and a look ahead to the final game of the Premier League campaign against Bournemouth at Old Trafford.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#259. Did you hear the one about Louis van Gaal's sex life? It was a lot more entertaining than his football team. Once again this week Van Gaal proved better value for money off the pitch than on it as United laboured to a score draw against Leicester City at Old Trafford. The Dutchman called it United's "best performance of the season" - although he has a very small pool of decent performances to pick from. Ed & Paul look back on United's tie with the champions elect - a game that takes Champions League qualification a step further away from Van Gaal's team despite City's heavy defeat at Southampton. With just three games to play United might need City to lose another two matches. Also on the pod this week: your questions answered and a look ahead to United's game with Norwich in East Anglia next weekend!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#258. Sore head this morning? You should have after United beat Everton at Wembley to reach the FA Cup final, following shortly on from another solid Premier League win. Could Louis van Gaal's team make a late charge to reach the Champions League and end the season with silverware? Ed & Paul look back on United's two victories this week - performances built on a change in formation and a more attacking outlook. It has only take the Dutchman two years to work out the formula, but will he actually stick with it? In addition to looking back on a momentous day at Wembley, the pod looks forward to United's fixture with champions-elect Leicester City at Old Trafford next weekend and takes your questions.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.
