For the first Strettycast of the 2015/15 campaign, I am joined by Norwegian journalist Jonas Giæver, Stretty News columnist 'Mike Loudmouth' and Stretty News TV regular Steve White.

On the show we discuss Angel Di Maria's move to Paris Saint-Germain, Pedro looking likely and a controversy surrounding Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. If Ed Woodward or Louis van Gaal decide to listen, we have defensive recommendations set out before the transfer window closes.

The panel also give offer some insight on Manchester United's first Premier League encounter of the new season. None expecting Spurs to be a walk in the park.

Apologies for not podcast last week. Dale had a chest infection and thought it would be better not to cough repeatedly into a microphone despite being overjoyed with the 2-1 victory at Anfield.

Dale is joined by Irish TV and radio personality Hector Ó hEochagáin, who shares mutual interests such as Manchester United, fans having a say in their football club and having a good craic.

Hector opens up about his FC United documentaries, interviewing Roy Keane and what he learned when visiting Ander Herrera's home (Basque region of Spain).

If wife of Jonny Evans, Hayley, is listening Hector sends you kisses and hugs.

A reaction to Manchester United's comfortable win over Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. Dale believes Blind is currently a better left back than Shaw and Mata deserves a starting place against Liverpool on Sunday.

Are City now involved in the rat-race more so than a challenge at the title?

I am joined by Flav of The Fighting Cock to preview Sunday's clash against Tottenham Hotspur. Flav writes, talks and does all sorts of work on his beloved club and features on the Strettycast to tell us all about it.

SPOILER ALERT Flav predicts a 5-0 Spurs win (no, don't worry, we won't be asking him on again)

I was invited to a sound check with The Strypes where I caught up with lead guitarist and vocalist Josh McClorey, who speaks about his Old Trafford experience, bonding with Paul Weller and an encounter with Noel Gallagher.

Gutted. Manchester United have just been knocked out of the FA Cup after reaching the quarter finals and Arsenal, therefore, reach the further stages of the competition. A Danny Welbeck goal proved to be the winner, although much of the talk in tomorrow's newspapers will be Angel Di Maria's sending off.

Jim Haryott of eastlower.co.uk joined me after the game as a member of the opposition.

The first Strettycast podcast is an introduction. I talk about Jonny Evans' spitting ban and the bizarre time & date set for Manchester United's FA Cup quarter-final encounter with Arsenal.

Stay tuned for an interview with a Manchester United supporting musician in the coming days.
