  • Why did it take so long?

    As a Manchester United fan it is great to find a podcast that is so closely but not explicitly aligned to my thoughts on the team I love. I may not alway agree with the lads but more often than not it is pretty much agree with their sentiments. Gutted it took me 190 odd shows before I found the Strettycast. Joint best show about United. Keep up the great work Dale & Brian and all the guys on the show.
