After myself & Marc starting off the season so strong uploading this pod on a weekly basis, we completely fell off it after I went on holidays to Spain. We do apologise for the complete lack of content, but can you honestly blame us?
This season for United and Chelsea fans was pretty fucking awful (excuse the language but it was), with both clubs having their squads decimated with injuries - United finishing 8th & getting knocked out of Europe at the group stage, Chelsea finishing 6th & losing a League Cup final. However United finished on a high beating City to win the FA Cup, making it back to back seasons with silverware under Erik Ten Hag.
We review the season, discuss both managers (one getting sacked, the other came dangerously close to it) and squads, have a look at Uniteds new takeover and structure, transfers and the summer window is touched also touched on.
We hope to be back with a new episode before the 24/25 season starts. Thanks for listening!

EP 16 - Something To Build On
Well the last 9 days was eventful for United and Chelsea, with United losing to Bayern Munich 4-3 but getting back to back wins against Burnley and Crystal Palace as the vast majority of the squad and fans back Erik Ten Hag. Chelsea lose 1-0 to Aston Villa but beat Brighton with the same score line in the League Cup. With Man City knocked out, the competition is now wide open for the other “Top 6” sides.
More injury woes for both Chelsea and United as we look to the coming games at the weekend with United taking on Palace again at OT, but this time in the Premier League and Chelsea play away to Fulham. Lastly we briefly touch on Antony being available for United and their game at home to Galatasaray in the Champions League.

EP 15 - Mid-Table Masters
A feeling that is becoming all too familiar so far this season, as United lose 3-1 at home to Brighton and Chelsea fail to score away at Bournemouth as the match ends 0-0. Myself and Marc reflect on the weekend games and discuss if we are both in for a long, long season. Erik Ten Hag remains under some pressure as the media begin sharpening the knives - is history starting to repeat itself once again for another United manager? We preview Bayern Munich vs Man United in the Champions League, and look at the weekend games with Man United going away to bloody Burnley and Chelsea play Aston Villa at home.

EP 14 - From Joy To Despair
The international break is over and we return to discuss Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, with Marc losing his 28 game unbeaten streak at Stamford Bridge in the process. Marc thought if Forest scored first Chelsea would really struggle against the low block, will this be a theme throughout the season for The Blues? We also reflect on the Arsenal and United game with mystic Marc correctly predicting the 3-1 win to Arsenal but does that score really reflect the game?
In what has been a very difficult season already for Erik Ten Hag, the club now has to deal with abuse allegations involving a second United player & the fallout with Jadon Sancho as the club appears in disarray. Lastly we preview the weekend games as United take on Brighton at Old Trafford and Chelsea go away to Bournemouth (I almost went a whole episode without ranting but Marc pushed the Harry Maguire button and I go off on one).
