#197. In the first pod of the new season Ed & Paul look back on United's pre-season tour of the United States, talk transfers and preview the campaign ahead. United enjoyed one of the most successful pre-season tours in memory, both in terms of results and in the context of last year's failure. But can Louis van Gaal translate a positive start into results when competitive football starts this weekend against Swansea? The pod covers the summer transfer scene - Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw hav...

#195. In another special edition Ed & Paul look forward to the World Cup quarter-finals and back at a dramatic Round of 16. Eight knock-out games down, just eight to go as each of the group winners secured a place in the next round and the tournament builds to a dramatic conclusion.

We take your questions and discuss the team of the ...

#191. All good things come to an end they say. Unfortunately, there has been little good to come of this woeful season even - at least nothing 'they' told David Moyes! In the final show of the season Ed & Paul look back on the campaign that was, with the pod's now (in)famous awards in tow. Best Player, Best Goal, Best Cross out of the 81 made against Fulham at Old Trafford.... they all roll off the tongue!

They also look forward to the season closer at Southampton, talk Ryan Giggs and Louis van Gaal, and do an extra large helping of your questions to make up for the lack listener input last week! There's also a brief chat about transfers, and an outline of plans for World Cup shows. Also, make sure to s...

Manchester United 4 - 0 Norwich City.More than 23 separate two key dates in Ryan Giggs' career - days that the Welshman will surely never forget. Two decades ago a slight young man made his club début as a substitute in a sorry home defeat to Everton. Last Saturday Giggs walked out as club manager, albeit on an interim basis. It was, he said, the proudest day in a quarter-century associated with the club. On t...

#188. So there you have it, folks. David Moyes is no more. He is a dead manager, pining for his former job. Sacked by Ed Woodward - rather appropriately - on Monday morning to end 10 months of misery at Old Trafford. Ed & Paul cover this momentous occasion in depth, offering analysis of where it all went wrong for the former Evertonian, and what's next for United. We talk Moyes' failure, Sir Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs' appointment, likely permanent candidates, transfer news and take your ques...

It was the final truly competitive match of United's season - a campaign that has now included 14 defeats across four competitions. We discuss United's performance in Munich - a match that mirrored the draw at Old Trafford, only for defensive errors and Bayern pressure to tell as the Germans ran out 3-1 winners in the Allianz Arena. On the domestic front the Reds thrashed ...

The show covers the win against Aston Villa at Old Trafford, and United's brave, plucky, up and at 'em bus parking performances against Bayern Munich.

#184. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on a mixed week for United. In the Premier League David Moyes' side was comprehensively beaten by Liverpool, leading to intensified calls for a change in direction. Rumours circulated that even the previously steadfast Ed Woodward, Sir Alex Ferguson and the Glazer family were considering sacking the 50-year-old former Everton coach. But United's triumphant victory over Olympiakos has seemingly bought the coach time - a 3-0 win at Old Trafford tak...

#181. On this week's pod Ed & Paul look back on another disastrous week for United. David Moyes' side may have won at Crystal Palace, but defeat to Olympiakos in Athens might just have ended the Reds' season in February. United's 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park was earned with not only a fine Wayne Rooney goal, but a change in style that saw both Adnan Januzaj and Juan Mata start in a narrow formation. It turned out to be a short-lived experiment, with Moyes' outfit returning in Athens to metho...

#180. On this week's show a preview of two huge games for United. First Ed & Paul look ahead to United's trip to Crystal Palace, where Tony Pullis' south Londoners have enjoyed a revival in recent weeks to pull clear of the relegation zone. Can David Moyes relieve some of the pressure by securing three points against the newly promoted outfit? Then United travel to Athens for the Round of 16 first leg clash with Olympiakos. United's record in Europe this season is strong, but how will the Re...

#179. On this week's packed show Ed & Paul look back on United's draw with Fulham at Old Trafford; possibly the worse United performances of the season. Then we review the Reds' match Arsenal at the Emirates - a bore draw that exposed United's limitations once again. David Moyes has attracted significant criticism this week following more dropped points, especially in the wake of the United's 2-2 draw with Fulham. Meanwhile, the Scot's side was again extra cautious in taking a point from Ars...

#178. On this week's show we look back on a disastrous result at Stoke with David Moyes' hapless side losing 2-1 in the Potteries. On a day when few could remember a performance quite so pitifully abject, Moyes' side reached what supporters can only hope is finally the nadir in a disastrous season. Time, they say, is what Moyes needs to rebuild his squad and make it his own; time the Scot is unlikely to get unless results and performances improve before the season's end. Also on the show this we...

#177. On this week's show we discuss Juan Mata's debut in United's victory over Cardiff at Old Trafford this week. An accomplished first appearance in a United shirt came as the Reds secured three vital points against the Welsh side. Yet, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's outfit rock bottom of the Premier League how exactly did the visitors outpass United in central midfield? Still, victory is a victory and manager David Moyes will also take comfort from the goalscoring return of Robin van Persie and ...

#176. On this week's show we discuss the ups and downs of life at United. It has been a disappointing week on the pitch, with David Moyes side losing heavily at Chelsea and then being knocked out by Sunderland in the Capital One Cup semi-final. Off the pitch, the week ended with Juan Mata signing from Chelsea for an incredible £37.1 million. Defeat at Stamford Bridge came at a heavy price, with United now 14 points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal and six behind fourth placed Liverpool. Mor...

#175. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on United's victory over Swansea. After three defeats on the spin David Moyes' side secured a small measure of redemption against the Welsh outfit. Three points keep United in contention for a spot in next season's Champions League, but perhaps more importantly, injects a little confidence into the squad. Yet, it was one of the strangest games at Old Trafford in recent years, with United enjoying just 30% of the possession in a match that only re...

At Old Trafford United's meek exit from the FA Cup to Swansea brought boos from the terraces. It was one of the worst performances of an increasingly underwhelming campaign. Then at the Premier League's wor...

Then back at Old Trafford, United lost a fourth home match of the season, with Tottenham beating the Reds 2-1. Another game, another heap of pressure for Moyes' under-performing side.

#172. On this week's show we look back on a good week for United. Victories over West Ham and Hull keep the Reds in touch with the Premier League leaders. In perhaps United's best performance of the season United dispatched the Hammers at Old Trafford, scoring three before Sam Allardyce's men grabbed a late consolation. Then Moyes' outfit came back from two down at Hull to secure victory. It was hardly a classic performance, but in putting together five consecutive victories the Reds certainly h...

Three points in Birmingham bring United to within (just!) 10 of Arsenal in the league, while a cup semi-final against John O'Shea's Sunderland beckons in January.

It was a period in which United dropped seven points in the Premier League as the title surely slipped away.

We discuss where it has gone wrong and right for new manager David Moyes, and speculate on the path ahead for the Reds. Also on this wee...

Yet, in Germany on Wednesday night, David Moyes' team smashed Bayer Leverkusen in the best performance of the Scot's Old Trafford tenure to date. Shinji Kagawa, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Nani starred in the 5-0 rout. We praise Giggs, who turns an incredible 40 this week yet continues to perform at the very hi...
