#158. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on United's scoreless draw with José Mourinho's Chelsea at Old Trafford. What does the lack of ambition on both sides say about the season ahead? We talk Wayne Rooney - the Scouser is set to stay at United for the coming year, but his performance against the west Londoners wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Still, with United supporters cheering the wantaway striker, how will the 27-year-old react in the season to come? Also on this week's pod: transfers with the window slamming shut on 2 September, David Moyes' new banner and United's visit to Anfield at the weekend. There's no Luis Suarez, but are Liverpool on the up this year?No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#157. On this week's pod Ed & Paul look back on United's victory over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. The Reds picked up David Moyes' first Premier League win, scoring three 'worldies' on the way, although there were times when the result was more flattering than the performance. Two goals from Danny Welbeck puts the young England international in good stead for the season ahead. Can the much discussed player improve on his meagre goals tally from last season? We talk Wayne Rooney - the player made his comeback against Swansea, creating two goals but looking well below acceptable fitness. Meanwhile, United put in a low bid for Everton pair Marouanne Fellaini and Leighton Baines. The bid was rejected by the Merseyside outfit who claimed to be "insulted" by the "derisory" bid. Finally, we look ahead to Monday night's game against Chelsea. Will Rooney play against his prospective employers?!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all go

#156. Ed & Paul look back on United's victory over Wigan in the Community Shield. In a muted atmosphere United beat the Championship side with a double from Robin van Persie, but what does victory say about the Reds' preparation for the new season? Also on the show this week: we talk about Wayne Rooney, with United apparently taking a hard line on the situation and categorically ruling out a transfer to Chelsea this summer. Then again, United said much the same about Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham. Will Rooney stay and what are the consequences for United and the club's rivals this season? We also look back on Rio Ferdinand's testimonial, the international break and some promising performances from United's youngsters. Finally, we look forward to the week ahead - United face Swansea at the Liberty Stadium in a tough opening weekend of the Premier League.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#155. Welcome back. After a long summer break your favourite United podcast returns with a full review of the summer - United's inactivity in the transfer market, Wayne Rooney's shenanigans and the pre-season tour to Asia. It has been one of the most dramatic summers in the club's long history, with Sir Alex Ferguson stepping down in April to be replaced by David Moyes. Yet the new manager has encountered significant frustration, with a series of seemingly failed bids for central midfielders. But have Moyes and the new United executive vice chairman Ed Woodward been culpable in an embarrassing set of market gaffes? On the theme of Old Trafford's bean counters the squad flew more than 25,000 miles touring Asia and Australia. It hasn't been a wholly successful tour on the pitch, although three young players stood out. With preview the season, including some predictions for the campaign ahead. Finally, we look forward to Sunday's Community Shield match with Championship side Wigan Athletic at Wembley.No Question

#152. On this week's extended show Ed & Paul look back on 27 years of Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford - the man, the manager, and his legacy.

#151. On this week's pod Ed & Paul review United's laboured draw with Arsenal at the Emirates. Just how hungover was Sir Alex Ferguson's side and how bad Arsene Wenger's to not take advantage? The Reds gave up on a potential Premier League points record, but secured a creditable draw. Also on this week's show we talk about the PFA hanging comedian Reginald D Hunter out to dry after the comedian dropped (several) N-bombs at the annual awards ceremony. Individual gongs were handed out to Tottenham's Gareth Bale, although United secured four players in the Team of the Year. We take your questions, talk about the Champions League semi-finals, take in some transfer rumours and preview United's fixture with Rafa Benitez' Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

The celebrations continued long into the night... but that was just your Rant Cast hosts. Also on this week's packed show we talk about Luis Suarez once again, as the Liverpool forward takes a bite out of Branislav Ivanovich. The 10 game ban that followed the Uruguayan's antics at Stamford Bridge will give Liverpool's embittered supporters something to new complain about. Meanwhile, we take your questions, do a bit of singing and look forward to Robin van Persie's guard of honour at the Emirates next weekend!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#148. On this week's pod Ed & Paul look back on all the derby action, with City taking the spoils after yet another sub-par United performance. Can Sir Alex Ferguson drag his side out of the recent funk, or will United's double-header against Stoke and West Ham bring the Blues back into the title race? It might have been a good week for the Blues over at the Eastlands, but perhaps not those on Downing Street after Margaret Thatcher died.

The Argentinian striker was given 250 hours community service for driving without a license. Will he be cleaning out your bins this week? And we look forward to the Manchester derby on Monday night.
