    Gutted this is the last episode! Blades Pod has been my absolute favourite United content by a country mile.

  • Top Pod - Blades must listen 👂

    This podcast catches the sentiment and mood for Blades fans - analysis, perspective and fun - I tend to reserve my assessment of games until I've head the lads thoughts. And some of the look back episodes are cracking listen. If you're a Blade this pod is a must listen.
