Two Brothers. One a lifelong Manchester United fan and the other - a Chelsea FC fanatic. In this podcast we discuss and review both the Chelsea and Man United games that are played throughout the current season. We will also bring on other football fans to bring their perspectives to the discussion. Hope you all enjoy!
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).

Myself and Marc return as I rant for 33 minutes about the state of Manchester United, the 2-0 defeat to Spurs, Greenwood leaving the club, Uniteds Top 10 transfer sales and how some of the fan base/media are starting to turn on ETH already. Marc then discusses the disappointing 3-1 loss to West Ham, breaking news on a Chelsea striker and if Chelsea will struggle against the lower teams this season. We also preview the coming games at the weekend as Marc travels off to see Chelsea vs Luton, and I relax on my day off to see United beat Nottingham Forest (hopefully).

EP 9 - What A Difference A Year Makes
It’s been well over a year since our last podcast and SO much has changed with regards to Chelsea FC and Manchester United. We try our best to go through the last year, Chelsea’s new ownership, the sacking of Tommy T and Graham Potter, their crazy spending on players and how bad their season has gone. Compared to United who have already won a trophy this season under new manager Erik Ten Hag, are in the top 4 and still competing in two other cup competitions. This podcast is slightly lacking structure and we were under time constraints, but we can be forgiven as this is our first podcast in over a year!

EP 5 - Title Race Over & Tommy T At Chelsea
It’s gone as quick as it came - with draws to Everton and Arsenal, topped off with a woeful loss to bottom of the league Sheffield United, it seems Ole’s title charge is over. Still in 2nd place but 5 points behind leaders Man City who have a game in hand. Marc briefly reflects on the sacking of Frank Lampard and looks to the future as Thomas Tuchel takes the reigns at Chelsea. Tommy T’s Chelsea now sit 1 point behind 4th place Liverpool after taking over them in 10th. We also go off on a Jose Mourinho tangent, his fall from the best manager in the world but will he still be considered one of the greatest of our time?

Marc and I go through some of the football matches this past week including the league cup games - United vs Luton & Chelsea vs Barnsley. Of course we get into the Premier League games also as United went away to Brighton and Chelsea took on newly promoted side West Brom with the two games being an utter madness - both teams expected a win but it was far from being the usual run of the mill performances from our respected clubs. We briefly touch on All or Nothing Spurs documentary and we look to next week for predictions on some big games, including United vs Spurs & Chelsea vs Crystal Palace in the Premier League, and league cup games against Brighton & Spurs. Hope you all enjoy!
