United Women: A Season of Surprises

#240. How dull is Louis van Gaal's United side? Very, if the Reds' scoreless draws against Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace in the past week are anything to go by. They were the second and third such draws in a joyless sequence. Mediocre results and a lack of entertainment has led to some unrest off the pitch, with United supporters enjoying a mini Paul Scholes inspired rebellion at Selhurst Park. Ed & Paul review the week's games and ask the questions on everybody's lips: will Van Gaal ever push for a more attacking outlook; and is Wayne Rooney's time now up? There's also a look ahead to United's fixture against CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford, and West Brom's visit at the weekend.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#239. Three inescapable conclusions emanate from a semi-successful week at Manchester United. First, Louis van Gaal's team is capable of mixing it with the best domestically. The side also emerged from a difficult away tie in Europe with a hard-earned point. Finally, captain Wayne Rooney is shot. Permanently. Ed & Paul discuss all the fall-out from this week's pair of bore draws at CSKA Moscow in the Champions League and one of the dullest derbies in recent memories. There's also a review of this week's fixture against Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup and next weekend's difficult looking tie at Crystal Palace.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#238. Battered at Arsenal, comfortable victors at Everton. United's consistent inconsistency continues. Defeat in north London showcased the very worst of Louis van Gaal; he really did get everything wrong. But on Merseyside every decision paid off, especially the Dutchman's selection of Ander Herrera, who starred in a 3-0 win. Ed & Paul discuss United's comfortable victory at Goodison Park, which takes the Reds to third place, just two points behind leaders City. There's a preview of the week's trip to Moscow for a difficult Champions League tie against CSKA. And there's a look ahead to the weekend's Manchester derby at Old Trafford! Also includes your questions and the winner of the Jamie Jackson book competition.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#237. United, top of the league! More than 700 days since the Reds last topped the Premier League table, Louis van Gaal's team is once again the preeminent force in English football. For this week at least. Defeat for City, a draw for Chelsea, together with United's relatively easy victory over Sunderland, leaves Van Gaal's side a point ahead of Eastland's 'finest'. Victory included Wayne Rooney's first Premier League goal since April, a superb Juan Mata performance, and another outstanding display from Antony Martial. Also on this week's show: Ed & Paul look back on Ipswich Town in the Capital One Cup, take your questions, and preview games against Arsenal in the league and Wolfsburg in Europe!No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#236. "What a waste of money," ran the Mirror headline before Anthony Martial made his United début against Liverpool earlier this month. How silly that looks now. The Frenchman scored two more fine goals against Southampton in a narrow United victory at the weekend - taking his total to three, and the Reds to second place in the Premier League. If Martial was brilliant, Wayne Rooney was bad. Very bad. Very very bad. Ed & Paul discuss the contrasting fortunes of United's strikers, review the performance against Soton and look forward to games against Ipswich Town and Sunderland. No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#235. There are debuts to remember and then there is Anthony's Martial's introduction at Old Trafford on Saturday. The French teenager joined United for somewhere between £36 - £58 million, with all the accompanying media pressure. So is he any good? After weaving through Liverpool's defence to score a wonder-goal, he just might be. On this week's pod Ed & Paul discuss United's 3-1 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford, look ahead to the midweek Champions League fixture with PSV Eindhoven in Holland, and to the Premier League game with Southampton at the weekend.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#234. "Ridículo!' ran the headline in two of Spain's leading sports dailies. No translation needed. Except that the farce surrounding David de Gea's aborted transfer to Real Madrid extends beyond the Spanish capital to United's approach to the transfer window generally. The third in which the judgement of the club's senior executives must be called into question. Ultimately the success of United's transfer strategy is judged in May, but a window that began with the club having planned ahead, ended with embarrassment laid at Ed Woodward's door. Ed & Paul discuss.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

#233. Goals. There was a time when United scored them. Sometime before Sir Alex Ferguson retired, as the pod recalls. There were none as United drew with Newcastle at Old Trafford on Saturday; and just two in three Premier League games this season. Ed & Paul look back on an uninspiring game. Is the Dutchman's obsession with possession making football boring? There's also a look back on United's victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League - a 3-1 win leaving United close to a return to the Champions League proper. Also on the show: your questions answered, a preview of United's weekend fixture with Swansea in Wales and a quick look ahead to the game with Liverpool after the international break.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.
