Good Boy, José

#396. José Mourinho's return to Old Trafford dominated the pre-match discussion, but it was his old club that came out on top in a thrilling match. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was under pressure coming into the game; his team bought some time and respect with a thoroughly deserved victory. Ed & Paul review the action from United's 2-1 victory and then look ahead to the weekend fixture with Manchester City.

Peaky Blinder of a Goal

#395. United versus Aston Villa at Old Trafford. The Brummies started the day in 16th. This should have been an easier day for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men. It definitely wasn't. On this week's Monday show, as well as all the analysis of United's draw against Villa, a look ahead to the midweek fixture with José Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur. Just a bit tasty that one. As always, there are listener questions and for backers a look at our games of the decade. No Question About That is available on A...

New Beginnings

#394. We've got some news to share. After 10 years and 400 episodes we've changed our name. We thought long and hard over this decision. On the one hand, its a much-loved (well, at least by some) and widely known podcast. We like to think that if we’re not the best fan-produced Manchester United podcast, then we’re at least in the top 1. Yet, times also move on, and in the age of Fan TV, the title doesn’t reflect the thoughtful, critical and analytical approach we take to producing the podcast e...

Papering Over the Cracks

#391. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team escaped with a draw at Sheffield United, but for 71 awful minutes the home side was the only team in play. United were horrible, as bad as anything we've seen this season. Then, inexplicably, a goal out of nothing sparked 10 frenzied minutes in which Solskjaer's side almost took an unlikely win. Ed & Paul look back on all the drama from Brammall Lane and ask - with Mauricio Pochettino out of work - whether there are better options out there? There's a short prev...

Overlapping Centre-Backs

#390. No game to review this week, but plenty of international football to discuss with many of United's squad involved in games.

Rule of Three

#389. Two victories to discuss this week: two games in which United scored three. First, Ed & Paul discuss a 3-0 win over Partizan at Old Trafford, a result that sends the Reds through to the knock-out stages of the Europa League. Then there's a fine...

Impotence

#388. United lost at Bournemouth as any momentum Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team had gained over the past fortnight evaporated during a miserable day on the south coast. Bournemouth deserved the victory; United came away with nothing after a performance of miserable impotence. Also on this week's show, a look ahead to games against Partizan and Brighton at Old Trafford and plenty of listener questions.

McSauce … Back of the net!

#387. Two victories on the road in a week. What has become of United?! First, the reds won at Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League, then a comfortable victory at Norwich. Has the tide finally turned on a challenging season? Ed & Paul digest the fallout from the week's fixtures. Also on this week's pod, a look ahead to a United's games against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Could be Worse

#386. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side earned a draw with Liverpool at Old Trafford, but could it have been so much more. Ed & Paul discuss all the fallout from United's game with Liverpool where the home side emerged with some credit after a more competitive performance than of late. Can the result kick-start United's season? There's a discussion about Ed Woodward's recent PR offensive, with the United chief exec really keen to let you know that commercial priorities have no impact on how United run...

Fatalism, Inc.

#385. United lost at Newcastle. It was just about as bad as anything in the post-Fergie era. Fans are calling for Ole's head. Would it make a difference? Probably not. Ed & Paul discuss United's draw with Alkmaar, defeat at Newcastle, and the upcoming game against Liverpool. Sorry folks, but very little of it is positive.

Asta-nah, etc

#384. What a week. Narrow victory over Kazakhstan Champions Astana, was followed by a thorough hammering in the East End, and then a penalty-shootout victory over mighty Rochdale. Questions are asked! Ed & Paul discuss the week's games, look ahead to Arsenal next Monday, dive into United's annual financial results, and take all your questions.

Foxes, Tamed

#383. Victory over Leicester was something of a surprise given the dominant narrative around these two sides. The Foxes are a team on the rise, with a high quality midfield, and an in-form striker. United, by contrast, a team in perpetual transition, with a midfield as weak as any in living memory. The result, a 1-0 victory, broke this narrative, although the game played out to a predictable pattern. Ed & Paul discuss the weekend's victory, look forward to United's Europa League kick-off at home...

AQA

#382. United continued a disappointing start to the season with a draw at Southampton, although Daniel James scored another fine goal. On this episode Ed & Paul briefly look back to the game at St. Mary's, preview United's weekend fixture against Leicester and then take lots of listener questions.

Rash Decisions Cost Reds

#381. So much for the promising start to the season. It was always going to be a bumpy campaign, but few envisioned United dropping points at home to Crystal Palace, and in such devastating fashion. Ed & Paul look back at United's weekend defeat, concluding Ole has many problems to address if the Reds are to progress this season. There are plenty of listener question and a look ahead to United's game against Southampton at the weekend. No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Goog...

Reds Bite Back

#380. United were outclassed three times by Wolves last season. This is time it was United's turn to demonstrate some quality, putting in an encouraging performance in a 1-1 draw at Molineux. Anthony Martial scored the Reds' only goal as United dominated for much of the match. Yet, the post-match commentary focused entirely on Paul Pogba's penalty miss. Hysterical? Much.

4-0 FC is back

#379. United began the new season in the most exciting fashion, beating Chelsea 4-0 at Old Trafford. Nobody quite saw it coming. Ed & Paul look back on United's opening day victory, review the performances of new players Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James, and pull out lessons-learned from Ole's new tactical approach. There's also a preview of United's upcoming game against last season's bogey-team Wolves. No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, St...

The New Season Starts Here

#378. The summer's entertainment has ended, with United losing out on the famous transfer trophy having done far less in the market than was needed to revitalise a flagging club. Ed & Paul look back on moves for Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James this summer, concluding that it is far from enough to return United to former glories. There's a look back at the summer of sport, a look ahead to the new season, and a preview of United's opener against Chelsea. No Question About That i...

The (Famous) End of Season Awards

#377. United signed off the season with a limp draw against already relegated Huddersfield, followed by a humiliating home defeat to already relegated Cardiff. It capped off a truly disastrous season. Ed & Paul look back on the finals games of the season, unsurprisingly concluding that United need a massive overhaul if the club is to compete once again. Where does Ole Gunnar Solskjaer go from here? There are player ratings and the much coveted Awards, although nobody deserves one. No Question A...

De Got To Be Kidding Us

#376. United's hopes of making next season's Champions League were dealt an almost certainly fatal blow when the Reds drew against Chelsea at Old Trafford last weekend. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men started the game positively until under-pressure goalkeeper David De Gea chucked another one into his own net. Ed & Paul look back on the draw with Chelsea, concluding that - barring a minor miracle - next season's Europa League campaign will be nothing short of depressing. There's a look at United's sq...

Giving Up

#375. It has been another depressing week. United lost heavily to Everton at Goodison Park in one of the most humiliating defeats of the post-Ferguson era. To compound a miserable week, Ole Gunnar Solkjaer's side was comfortably beaten by City at Old Trafford. Ed & Paul look back on two games that have probably decided United's season: trophyless and outside of the Champions League once again. Where does the club go from here? Will it be yet more years in the wilderness? What can Ole do to turn ...

Messi Business

#374. United lost heavily to Barcelona in the Champions League - marking a fifth defeat in seven games for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team. The honeymoon isn't so much as over than everyone is now bickering over who's turn it is to put out the bins. Ed & Paul look back on two games against the Catalan giants, together with the home victory over West Ham in the Premier League. Where does the club go from here given the gulf in quality to Europe's best? There's also a look ahead to the weekend's fixtu...

The Norwegian Option

#373. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed permanent United manager - and he celebrated with two unconvincing performances against Watford and Wolves. For the second time in the past three weeks United lost 2-1 at Wolves, this time damaging the club's hopes of making next season's Champions League. Defeat followed a low-key victory over Watford at Old Trafford. Ed & Paul look back on those games, take plenty of listener questions and look ahead to the monumental clash with Barcelona next week...

Wolves at the Door

#372. United lost 2-1 at Wolves in the FA Cup. It was probably the most concerning performance of the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era and two defeats in two games for Ole's men. Solskjaer's at the wheel, but have they finally come off the bus? As always there are plenty of listener questions and, with no fixture during the international break, Ed & Paul take a look forward to Watford at home.

Le Caractère

#371. What a week. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United side staged a late, dramatic, emotional, and very unlikely Champions League victory over PSG in the French capital. Then, back in the Premier League, United lost at Arsenal - a blow in the race to make next season's Champions League. Also this week, there's a look ahead to the weekend's FA Cup game against Wolves and, for backers, a discussion about retiring former manager Louis van Gaal.
