episode S02E43 - Dead Rubber FC: United’s End‑of‑Season Siesta cover

Description

In this episode, we start with the chaos in Spain and ask whaton earth is happening at Real Madrid before turning to Sunderland vs United and why it felt like footballing melatonin. Was it Carrick’s five changes or have the players mentally checked out with nothing left to play for? We dig into whether Mount and Zirkzee quietly auditioned for the exit door and wonder if Bruno will break the assist record if the remaining fixtures are dead rubbers. We look at United U18s reaching the FA Youth Cup final against City and why City have chosen a smaller stadium instead of their main ground. Then it’s the big one: would United fans welcome Rashford back now he’s a league winner at Barcelona? In our weekly segment, we decide whether we’re Carrick In or Carrick Out, debate the ethics of BetWay as a training‑kit sponsor and take a tour around the Premier League to ask whether Arsenal lucked their way to the title with the questionable decision. Finally, we give our verdict on United wearing next season’s kit in the home final game. A packed episode full of questions, chaos and classic United discourse.

S02E49 - All or Nothing… or Just United Being United?

In this episode, we start with the UK’s shift to a new Prime Minister and ask the completely unserious but strangely compelling question: Does national stability secretly depend on Manchester United being stable too? From there, we dive into United agreeing to film an All or Nothing documentary and whether this makes Carrick a yes‑man for the board after Amorim famously refused. Do the club genuinely believe they’re on the verge of something great or is this just another marketing masterclass. We debate whether players will behave more professionally with cameras everywhere and whether the documentary all but guarantees Carrick survives the full season. We also break down United’s Premier League fixtures and what they reveal about the months ahead. Then we switch to the World Cup: Is Tuchel’s squad selection starting to make more sense, and which teams have impressed us so far? Finally, we tackle a surprisingly emotional topic, should players be allowed to leave the World Cup to be present for the birth of their child or does national duty come first. A packed episode blending football, drama, ethics, and a bit of chaos.

S02E45 - Rashford’s Shade, Bruno’s Beef & United’s Dead‑Rubber Masterclass

In this episode, we kick things off by asking whether Rashford subtly threw shade at United after thanking every man, woman and household pet for his England World Cup call‑up… except United. We break down United’s surprisingly electric performance in what should’ve been a dead‑rubber against Brighton and debate whether Bruno’s record‑breaking assist should have stood. We look at whether that match officially confirmed Dorgu as United’s long‑term left‑wing option, before diving into the simmering Roy Keane vs Bruno Fernandes feud and whether Bruno is actually our modern‑day Brian Robson. From there, we zoom out: can United ever return to being the dominant force they once were and ask whether Pep is really the greatest Premier League manager ever? We wrap up with our thoughts on the England World Cup squad and the shock of a Real Madrid‑less Spanish squad. A lively mix of drama, nostalgia, and tactical chaos.
