The season ended in disappointment; José Mourinho’s prosaic side going down to Chelsea at Wembley. Not that there hasn’t been plenty of that to go around over these past five long years. No FA Cup redemption to save a trophyless season. Ed & Paul look back on the FA Cup Final, a game in which Mourinho’s side pushed a resolute Chelsea, but never really looked like having enough after Phil Jones’ catastrophic error gifted the Blues a penalty. There’s the Rant Cast end of season awards, plenty of listener questions and a look ahead to the summer transfer market.

The Premier League season ended with a whimper rather than a bang – a lifeless draw at West Ham United followed by a lifeless home victory over Watford.

There’s plenty of listener questions and, for backers, a segment on England’s possible World Cup squad.   Rant Cast is available on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and all good podcast apps.

This would have been a rant about United’s abject result on the South Coast in losing to Brighton & Hove Albion. About the travesty of the collective performance and most of the individuals last Friday. About Jose Mourinho’s tactics and his decision to throw his players under the bus. Yet again. But then Sir Alex Ferguson fell seriously ill. It kinda put things into perspective.     If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

So it is goodbye to the specialist in failure who signed off at Old Trafford with … another failure. This time it was close, with Arsenal’s youngsters giving a good account of themselves until Marouane Fellaini’s injury-time winner.

For backers, a look back at Andrea Iniesta’s career.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

Another FA Cup semi-final, another victory as United cruised past Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley last weekend. The Reds won 2-1, but it seemed a lot easier than that.

For Patreon backers, a discussion about the fraud that is Arsene Wenger.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

Well that was good, wasn’t it? After last week’s comeback victory over Manchester City at the Etihad, Jose Mourinho’s handed the Blues the Premier League title by losing to West Brom. The worst team in the league. At home. Again. It sucks and so did most of United’s players. Ed & Paul look back on the weekend’s loss and ask what it means for the biggest game of the season to date: United’s semi-final with Spurs at Wembley this weekend. There’s a midweek game against Bournmouth previewed and plenty of listener questions.

It’s been a long time coming but Rant Cast is finally back on air. Having recovered from a bout of suspicious poisoning that kept him on the sidelines for a month, Paul is ready to take on the challenge of not laughing at Ed’s bad jokes or responding to the many hot takes. Paul has much praise for the glorious leader Vladimir Putin. Also on the show, the guys catch up on a month of Manchester United action – there have been mixed results haven’t there? There are plenty of listener questions and a look forward to the weekend’s action against Manchester City. For backers, a look ahead to the World Cup in the glorious motherland of Russia. Paul is absolutely not compensating.   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.

A creditable 0-0 draw away in Seville and a triumphant 2-1 win over Champions League place rivals Chelsea? Well, those are the bare facts, but Ed and Paul look back on the good, the bad and the mostly very indifferent in those two games. There are plenty of listener questions as per (now that Ed has set up an autotweet to ask for them) and a preview of Crystal Palace and the big game in a couple of weeks against Liverpool. Also, Paul waxes lyrical about Romelu Lukaku and backers get bonus content on United’s shirt numbers and ask “Who wore it best?”   If you are interested in supporting the show, and accessing some cool rewards, check out our Patreon crowdfunding page.
