    This channel does nothing but add to more hate from ‘fans’ against our players

  • 🥱

    On-the-nose, cliche, spoon-fed opinions masquerading as originality. Indicative of the horrible UK press, except spat out by children who barely remember Fergie. Honestly, embarrassing analysis

  • Absolute Quality.

    Whether it’s therapeutic or celebratory, depending on the last game, Gaz and Joe always deliver great analysis and great banter. If only Erik ten Hag’s men were as consistent…

  • Good Eggs

    Great listen, Joe and Gaz seem like decent lads and bring you along with their banter! Look forward to the episodes dropping so I can put my headphones in and pretend I’m on a call in the office, but get 20 minutes to myself! Awesome!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'A better window than expected'
Q: By the end of the season, who do you think will be Manchester United's number one goalkeeper?
Jay believes Lamance will eventually be the starting goalkeeper, but it might take some time, as the manager may prefer to use more experienced players initially due to the high stakes.
Emergency Pod: A new low?
Q: What do you think the repercussions could be if we don't get a winner against Burnley?
Kim suggests that Ruben Amrune might walk rather than be sacked, feeling he is soul destroyed by the recent performance.
Emergency Pod: A new low?
Q: Kim, do you have to?
Kim expresses how difficult it is to discuss the poor performance and that they are all in this together.
'It's a matter of time'
Q: Is there going to be an option to buy or an obligation to buy involved in the Rashford deal?
It's an option to buy, which may help maintain his value; if he performs well, he can return with Barcelona value attached.
'It's a matter of time'
Q: What is your take on the transfer situation around Marcus Rashford?
It's pretty much done with Barcelona covering his wages. Rashford will take a pay cut for the dream move.
