No Question About That - a Manchester United podcast

#225. Six victories in a row followed by defeat at Stamford Bridge last weekend and then again at Everton on Sunday has brought Louis van Gaal's team crashing back to earth. The Dutchman characterised his team's performance at Everton as "lacking in motivation." United's 3-0 loss could be catastrophic, with Liverpool not yet completely out of the chase for fourth place in the Premier League. And d...

#224. José Mourinho's magic bus: whenever the Portuguese coach needs a result it is neatly parked and always comes up with the goods. Plus ça change. United enjoyed 71 per cent possession at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening, the majority of shots on goal and control of the game, but still lost. Defeat leaves Louis van Gaal's side 11 points adrift of Chelsea in the Premier League and potentially...

#223. As Neil Kinnock once said OH YES, OH YES, OH YES! Victory over City in the derby - and what a fine victory it was! Four defeats in a row to the Blues had become too painful, but with Louis van Gaal's side in outstanding form United smashed the visitors on Sunday. Ed & Paul discuss United's latest victory and what it means for the future. Has Manuel Pellegrini been sacked yet? There's discuss...

#222. Another week, another fine United performance. Ed & Paul could get used to this kind of thing! This week's pod covers United's victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford - a performance in which Ander Herrera stood out. Two goals and a command of United's midfield begs a question: why wasn't Herrera picked all season? This week's pod also covers your questions and looks ahead to next week's de...

#221. Rare is the moment that schadenfreude is not to be fully enjoyed - and rarer still does that moment come in a United victory over Liverpool at Anfield. And yet the stars aligned on Sunday when United beat the old rivals and Steven Gerrard offered one of the finest comedy moments of the season. United fans laughed so hard that it probably still hurts. On this week's show, Ed & Paul look back...

#220. On this week's show Ed & Paul 'debate' the merits of a sound education in mathematics, bemoaning the state of  government investment into a system that has left Paul unable to tell the difference between a percentage and an absolute number! In between the bickering over Long Ball Louis' tactics, the pod covers United's excellent victory over Tottenham at Old Trafford - perhaps the finest 34...

#219. On this week's show Ed & Paul celebrate the victory over Newcastle, commiserate over United's defeat to Arsenal, argue over whether Louis is really playing hoofball, take your questions, discuss sexism in football (there's a lot of it and it is very bad) and get all excited / terrified for the run of big games ahead. No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Sti...

#218. On this week's show - victory and a decent one at that. United's 2-0 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford wasn't always pretty, but in creating more than 30 chances with 75 per cent possession, the Reds dominated. After defeat to Swansea last week, Louis van Gaal's side is now back in prime position to qualify for the Champions League, with no little thanks to former Reds John O'Shea and Wes...

#217. After the pod's longest ever non-summer break the boys discuss a veritable deluge of football over the past month, but has it been any good? Since the pod Louis van Gaal's side secured FA Cup victories over Cambridge United and Preston North End, a win in the Premier League over Burnley, and a last gasp draw at West Ham. It's a run that has taken the United's record to one defeat in the past...

#216. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on United's draw with Cambridge in the FA Cup. How did one of the finest squads in the land end up struggling at the League Two minnows? The lads assess Louis van Gaal six months into the job during a period in which Untied has won just two from the past six fixtures and ask - where does the Dutchman go from here? There's a look ahead to the Premier Le...

#215. Back after a short break, the pod is (sort of) united in grief for the demise of Red Issue, Manchester United's longest running and most controversial fanzine. Sharp, incisive and never short of cutting, Red Issue has been a staple of the match-day experience for more than 25 years. Love them or loathe them, please join the pod in a minute's silence and #prayforredissue. Also this week's, Ed...

#214. Liverpool is in mourning, with captain Steven Gerrard announcing his move to another club for shed loads of money, eight years after nearly moving to Chelsea for bucketfuls of cash. Ed & Paul join the national wailing ... or not. Also on this week's show: a full review of United's disappointing performances against Stoke in the Premier League and Yeovil Town in the FA Cup. Is it time Louis v...

#213. It's the end of another year, but there's no let up in the football. Ed & Paul review United's matches against Newcastle and Tottenham: one a solid victory, another an unfortunate draw as the Reds take four points, but should have earned six. Still, there were plenty of positives from a packed 48 hours. There's a preview of Thursday's trip to Stoke. Cold, windy and often hostile, can United...

#212. Ed & Paul get together to discuss all the festive football fun, or at least the slightly underwhelming draw against Villa. But hey, it's nearly Christmas and Falcao scored, so it's not all doom and gloom. There's a look forward to games against Newcastle at home and Tottenham away, predict two United wins (obviously) and answer all the questions that the listeners have thrown their way. Merr...

#211. This week, Ed & Paul talk prison - and just how long Ander Herrera might be dodging the showers after being caught up in a Spanish match fixing investigation. There's a  discussion about United's victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford. It started poorly - the Scousers could have taken a 2-0 lead - but finished with perhaps the best hour of football United has played all season. Six wins in a...

#210. This week, Paul & Ed try and keep a straight face whilst discussing United's convincing win over Southampton, and look back on a slightly better United performance against Stoke. They discuss Marouane Fellaini in terms that will be more familiar to long-time listeners than the recent praise he's received, resurrect the reverse-curse-of-the-Rantcast and veer off on a massive tangent about whe...

#209. This week, Ed & Paul look back on United's stroll against Hull City. United dominated the game, which saw fine performances from, well, pretty much everyone. We debate Van Gaal's "Philosophy," pragmatism, and the fundamental nature of faith, before taking listener questions and previewing the upcoming games against Stoke and Southamption. Can Mark Hughes' side spring a surprise against Unite...

#208. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on United's victory over Arsenal at the Emirates. The hosts bossed possession, created more chances and probably should have won; United took home the points in a match every bit as joyous as the Reds 8-2 victory over Arsenal in 2011. Victory lifts United into the Premier League top four, with the Champions League now firmly in Louis van Gaal's sites....

#207. On this week's show Ed & Paul look forward to United's fixture against Arsenal this weekend. The Reds' record against Arsene Wenger's side is outstanding in recent years, but with so many players injured - including three more on international duty - can United cope in north London? There's more on injuries: what has caused the catastrophic loss of players this season and who is to blame? Th...

#206. In this week's show Ed & Paul look back on the Manchester derby. United lost but Louis van Gaal's side came close to pulling off an unlikely result after Chris Smalling's first-half dismissal. Another defeat and 13 points behind the Premier League leaders - or a step in the right direction, with spirit seemingly high in the camp? There's a focus on Smalling: just how brain-dead is the United...

#205. After Robin van Persie's dramatic 94th minute equaliser against Chelsea, Ed & Paul discuss all the fall out from Sunday's game. The goal secured United a point, but was the Reds' performance indicative of a new upward trajectory this season? Then there's the derby against City to come this Sunday. Can Louis van Gaal's team build on the late draw with Chelsea at the Etihad? Finally, all your...

#204. After an extended break this week's show looks back on United's draw with West Brom at the Hawthornes. United escaped with a point after Daley Blind's 87th minute equaliser, but it was far from a classic performance. Louis van Gaal's side created 22 chances in the Midlands, but an inexperienced back four was frequently under pressure. Where does the Dutchman's side go from here? Meanwhile, t...

#203. Ed & Paul join Sam, Thomo, Mark and Chudi for a podcast mash-up special! Speaking shortly after the final whistle, the lads focus on United's victory over Everton at Old Trafford, including Wayne Rooney, Angel Di Maria, Daley Blind, the singing section, your questions, and more Rooney. Listen to the Red Mancunian podcast. Visit Pride of all Europe. No Question About That is available on Appl...

#202. On this week's pod, Ed & Paul look back on United's 2-1 victory over West Ham at Old Trafford. Three points gained, but it was a result that hardly tells the full story of a dramatic match in which Wayne Rooney saw red for the sixth time in his career. Is the former Everton player really the man to lead United? There's a preview of United's game with Everton - after victory over the Hammers...

#201. On this week's podcast, Ed & Paul look back on United's 4-0 victory over QPR at Old Trafford. Was this the game to kick start United's season? The joy was to last but a week, with United humiliated by Leicester City. How did Louis van Gaal's side manage to ship five goals against a newly promoted side? There's a discussion about Wayne Rooney. Where does the errant scouser fit into United's s...
