  • 766. In Ruud Health

    49:52||Ep. 766
    #766 Now that was some Ruud football. United thrash Leicester in the League Cup and Old Trafford loved it. For the first time in what feels like a lifetime, we enjoyed the football and could feel good about being United fans again. It's temporary and we can't read much into one game but Ed and Tom are feeling joyous about it anyway.If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.

  • 764. A verdict Against Reality

    01:07:37||Ep. 764
    #764 Defeat to West Ham leaves Erik ten Hag on the brink once again. Yet, it was also a chaotic game in which United created a fistful of chances, gave up all momentum and lost because of one of the most ridiculous VAR penalty decisions you could ever see. Ed and Wayne try and largely fail to make any sense of it all.If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.

  • 763. José's Heritage

    48:50||Ep. 763
    #763 José Mourinho was sent off but it was the most chaotic moment of an otherwise low-quality game in the Europa League. United are up to *checks notes* 21st in the league. Top top top stuff Reds. It's one win in seven for Erik ten Hag's side. Ed and Tom talk about the good and bad from another trip to Turkey without a victory and then look ahead to West Ham at the weekend.If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.

  • 762. Anger and Injustice

    43:36||Ep. 762
    #762 Victory over Brentford and, in the second half at least, a decent performance from United. But once again Erik ten Hag's tactics come under question. Did it really take a sense of injustice to inspire this team, or did the manager make an important half-time adjustment? Ed and Dan discuss and then look ahead to United's trip to Turkey in the Europa League.If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.

  • NQAT Extra: Football Taught By Matt Busby

    43:26|
    Wayne has a new book out in the spring looking at that perpetual topic of debate: Manchester United’s identity. The new book “Football Taught By Matt Busby” contains newly unearthed images of Sir Matt Busby as well as interviews with Busby, Sir Alex Ferguson, and other key figures in Manchester United’s history. How did United become the global behemoth it is? And how and why did Busby take the club to the summit of the game – and build an empire that lasted for decades? Ed and Wayne talked about the premise behind the book and how themes of identity and flowed through managers from Busby onwards.The book:https://reachsportshop.com/book/football-taught-by-matt-busby/If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.

  • 760. A Compelling Vision for the Future

    38:11||Ep. 760
    #760 Erik ten Hag got what he planned for - a bore draw at Aston Villa. United cut down on the chaos and on the entertainment. Is this enough to keep Ten Hag in a job? Ed and Dan conclude that it shouldn't but just might.

    59:59||Ep. 759
    #759 United threw away a two-goal lead in Porto to leave Estádio do Dragão with only a point from the Europa League match. But the result is only part of the conversation after another chaotic, messy and incoherent performance from Erik ten Hag's team.
