Same as it Ever Was
18/08/2014 Duration: 51min#198. In this week's show Ed & Paul look back on United's first game of the season - a demoralising defeat to Swansea at Old Trafford - and ahead to next week's fixture with Sunderland. United's 2-1 home loss against the Swans came after a successful pre-season in which the Reds secured six victories in succession. But United's performance against Swansea was every bit as laboured as any during David Moyes' disastrous period in charge last season. There's a look forward to United's game against Sunderland next week, with the Reds having not always enjoyed positive results against the Mackems in recent seasons. Finally, your questions... on Louis van Gaal, transfers, performances and more!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

The Boys are Back
12/08/2014 Duration: 01h32min#197. In the first pod of the new season Ed & Paul look back on United's pre-season tour of the United States, talk transfers and preview the campaign ahead. United enjoyed one of the most successful pre-season tours in memory, both in terms of results and in the context of last year's failure. But can Louis van Gaal translate a positive start into results when competitive football starts this weekend against Swansea? The pod covers the summer transfer scene - Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw have arrived at Old Trafford, while half-a-dozen players have left. What incomings and outgoings are still to come? There's a preview of the coming season, together with predictions for the campaign ahead. Spoiler alert: neither Ed nor Paul believe United will win the Premier League this season!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

World Cup – Eight to Go
04/07/2014 Duration: 01h08min#195. In another special edition Ed & Paul look forward to the World Cup quarter-finals and back at a dramatic Round of 16. Eight knock-out games down, just eight to go as each of the group winners secured a place in the next round and the tournament builds to a dramatic conclusion. Yet, the narrative was far more nuanced, with each of the favourites - bar perhaps Colombia - struggling through the last round. What will the last eight bring?

End of Season Review
16/05/2014 Duration: 01h19min#191. All good things come to an end they say. Unfortunately, there has been little good to come of this woeful season even - at least nothing 'they' told David Moyes! In the final show of the season Ed & Paul look back on the campaign that was, with the pod's now (in)famous awards in tow. Best Player, Best Goal, Best Cross out of the 81 made against Fulham at Old Trafford.... they all roll off the tongue! In addition to this season's long-awaited awards, there's a review of United's final game of the campaign - a spirited draw with Southampton at St. Mary's. The boys look towards the future, with Louis van Gaal due to be unveiled as United manager any day now... no really... it'll happen soon... honest. There's also a debate about the transfer market. Will United spend big this summer, and on whom? No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

The Kids are Alright
09/05/2014 Duration: 52min#190. On this week's show, Ed & Paul look back at the damp squib that was defeat to Sunderland and the testimonial-like victory over Hull, which featured a couple of exciting début appearances. They also look forward to the season closer at Southampton, talk Ryan Giggs and Louis van Gaal, and do an extra large helping of your questions to make up for the lack listener input last week! There's also a brief chat about transfers, and an outline of plans for World Cup shows. Also, make sure to stay tuned to the very end of the show to hear details of a contest to win a fantastic prize.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

Tearing Them Apart (Again)
01/05/2014 Duration: 01h59s#189. Saturday, 2 March 1991. Manchester United 0 - 2 Everton.Saturday, 27 April 2014. Manchester United 4 - 0 Norwich City.More than 23 separate two key dates in Ryan Giggs' career - days that the Welshman will surely never forget. Two decades ago a slight young man made his club début as a substitute in a sorry home defeat to Everton. Last Saturday Giggs walked out as club manager, albeit on an interim basis. It was, he said, the proudest day in a quarter-century associated with the club. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on Giggs' début as United manager, assessing a performance that appeared liberated after months with players locked in a cycle of negativity. We discuss what might come next for United, with Dutchman Louis van Gaal favourite for the top job at Old Trafford. And we look at the potential scenarios in the coming weeks, with the 'Class of '92' still keen to secure a place alongside whomever is leading the new regime. Also on the show: transfer market rumours, Champions League semi-finals

He was Sacked in the Morning
25/04/2014 Duration: 01h20min#188. So there you have it, folks. David Moyes is no more. He is a dead manager, pining for his former job. Sacked by Ed Woodward - rather appropriately - on Monday morning to end 10 months of misery at Old Trafford. Ed & Paul cover this momentous occasion in depth, offering analysis of where it all went wrong for the former Evertonian, and what's next for United. We talk Moyes' failure, Sir Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs' appointment, likely permanent candidates, transfer news and take your questions in a packed show!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

End of Season Party
14/04/2014 Duration: 01h07min#187. In a bumper episode Ed & Paul look back on United's week, including European defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich. It was the final truly competitive match of United's season - a campaign that has now included 14 defeats across four competitions. We discuss United's performance in Munich - a match that mirrored the draw at Old Trafford, only for defensive errors and Bayern pressure to tell as the Germans ran out 3-1 winners in the Allianz Arena. On the domestic front the Reds thrashed Newcastle at St. James' Park - a performance that saw Adnan Januzaj, Juan Mata and Shinji Kagawa combine to such great effect. We ask whether it was luck or David Moyes' judgement that brought the trio together. We take your questions, talk transfers, and look ahead to United's fixture with Everton next week.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

Moyes Parks the Bus
04/04/2014 Duration: 58min#186. In what was ostensibly a good week for David Moyes, Ed & Paul contrive to record their most 'Moyes-Out' show yet. It was hard work ladies and gents, but somebody has to do it! The show covers the win against Aston Villa at Old Trafford, and United's brave, plucky, up and at 'em bus parking performances against Bayern Munich. Also on the pod: your twitter questions, a preview of the dead rubber against Newcastle, and a look ahead to quite how bad the damage could get next week in Munich. After last week's overuse of the word "dichotomy," the word of the week this time around is "conflate".No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

Aspiring to be Football Weekly
28/03/2014 Duration: 49min#185. Following the ray of hope that was the game against West Ham, and the full blown downpour of dooooooom that was defeat to Manchester City, Ed & Paul cover all the stuff that matters, provide some analysis, and ending up spending ages talking about ol' David Moyesey. With a preview of Aston Villa and United's inevitably glorious win over Bayern Munich next week, and all of your questions, this week's podcast comes to you from opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Moyes Buys Time
21/03/2014 Duration: 01h15min#184. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on a mixed week for United. In the Premier League David Moyes' side was comprehensively beaten by Liverpool, leading to intensified calls for a change in direction. Rumours circulated that even the previously steadfast Ed Woodward, Sir Alex Ferguson and the Glazer family were considering sacking the 50-year-old former Everton coach. But United's triumphant victory over Olympiakos has seemingly bought the coach time - a 3-0 win at Old Trafford taking United into the Champions League quarter finals. There's a look ahead to the games against West Ham and Manchester City, including a very special guest. Finally, your questions and all the news that's fit to discuss in a packed show.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

We're Gonna Win the League
14/03/2014 Duration: 51min#183. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on United's triumphant victory over the might of West Brom, compliment the genius of Marouane Fellaini and look forward to United lifting the title in May. Or perhaps not. There's a look ahead to the games against Liverpool and Olympiakos, and chat about the investment made in United by Baron Capital.

United's Response, Part XI
07/03/2014 Duration: 55min#182. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on a good week for United: David Moyes side hasn't lost a game, although that has much to do with the Reds having a weekend off in the Premier League! In the absence of football this week's pod looks back on the key news from the week, including Robin van Persie's strop, international friendlies, and that Tom Cleverley petition.

(Not) Sacked in the Morning
28/02/2014 Duration: 47min#181. On this week's pod Ed & Paul look back on another disastrous week for United. David Moyes' side may have won at Crystal Palace, but defeat to Olympiakos in Athens might just have ended the Reds' season in February. United's 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park was earned with not only a fine Wayne Rooney goal, but a change in style that saw both Adnan Januzaj and Juan Mata start in a narrow formation. It turned out to be a short-lived experiment, with Moyes' outfit returning in Athens to methods tried and unfortunately trusted by the Scot. Olympiakos' fast-paced attacking on the break proved to be far too much for United, leaving the Reds needing to win by three at Old Trafford in mid-March. Also on the pod this week: your questions, David Moyes' future, Rooney's new contract, and a look ahead to the summer transfer window!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

It's all Greek to Me
21/02/2014 Duration: 52min#180. On this week's show a preview of two huge games for United. First Ed & Paul look ahead to United's trip to Crystal Palace, where Tony Pullis' south Londoners have enjoyed a revival in recent weeks to pull clear of the relegation zone. Can David Moyes relieve some of the pressure by securing three points against the newly promoted outfit? Then United travel to Athens for the Round of 16 first leg clash with Olympiakos. United's record in Europe this season is strong, but how will the Reds fare in the atmospheric Karaiskakis Stadium next Tuesday? Also on the show this week: your questions answers, transfer gossip assessed and a review of United's holiday camp in Dubai!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

Couldn't Tell an Arse From the Arsenal
16/02/2014 Duration: 01h11min#179. On this week's packed show Ed & Paul look back on United's draw with Fulham at Old Trafford; possibly the worse United performances of the season. Then we review the Reds' match Arsenal at the Emirates - a bore draw that exposed United's limitations once again. David Moyes has attracted significant criticism this week following more dropped points, especially in the wake of the United's 2-2 draw with Fulham. Meanwhile, the Scot's side was again extra cautious in taking a point from Arsenal. Also on the show: your questions answered and United's quarterly financial results analysed!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.
