MUFC from a Distance

Two games into the season and it goes from bad to worse for Man Utd with a group of players  who don't look like they've met before never mind trained with each other. A keeper throwing them in or passing to opposition players and a want away striker who expels more energy throwing his arms in the air than he does running or trying to stay on his feet. A less sweary but equally depressing new podcast awaits :-)

A poor first game of the season, compounded by the optimism we all felt prior to it, resulted in a nice sweary ranty on this weeks podcast

Well pre season is finished, we`ve had two players sent off, Ronaldo's still here when he doesn't want to be and others we want aren't. With this to contend with and our one remaining forward made of balsa wood we look forward to a new season with just a little bit of optimism

Thousands of miles flown, 13 goals scores, four matches played and gallons of rain soaked up as United made light work of three opponents and heavy weather , in every sense of the word, of one more before heading home to sunny Manchester 

A quick look at the summer so far, the new manager, the old players and the hope just waiting to be crushed

Quick heads up about a new season of the podcast

With only one mediocre game to talk about and only one presenter available I've decided to hold off on talking about the Leicester game and instead gone with the far bigger story of the supposed imminent arrival of Erik Ten Hag. Ill be discussing our management appointment policy of the last ten years, the poor decisions and equally poor timing and why i think this is a good move, for once

Its been an odd week or two for Man Utd because a victory in the league seems to have ended our chances of top four and a defeat at home certainly ended our non existent chances of winning the Champions League. On top of that we have to endure the media feeding frenzy currently taking place where the sports media contorts itself into backing one manager one day, a different one the day after, before concluding that every manager has some perceived failing that make them unsuitable for a job they aren't going to get any way. on the back of that I decided to record a podcast :-)

After a depression week on the pitch I couldn't face talking about football matches and for some reason I thought talking about managers would be more fun. The battle seems to be coming down to Erik Ten Hag or Mauricio Pochettino so I thought a brief, and I mean brief, overview of their careers up to this point might be useful. Have a listen and let me know what you think

After an even more abject performance in the derby than we witnessed earlier in the season there was only one game to cover on this weeks show. Neither of us wanted to do and you may not want to listen but if players being slaughtered and an old man getting very sweary is your thing then give it a listen. Its got to get better at some point hasnt it? Hasnt it???
