Summary

#167. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on United's hard-fought victory over Arsenal at Old Trafford. David Moyes secured the biggest win of his short spell in Manchester, but did it come at the expense of good football? We look back on all the major talking points coming out of the game that reinvigorated United's title campaign. Also on this week's show: a special interview with Guardian journalist Daniel Harris, looking at his new book The Promised Land: Manchester United's Historic Treble, which reviews the 1999 season. We take your questions, look ahead to international week, and refuse to open the transfer window can of worms. Sort of. Finally, we talk Michael Carrick and Rene Meulenstein. Injury and a new contract for the United midfielder; a new job for the Dutch coach.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

And the So, I think it was a little doom and gloom on the podcast last week.

0:30.3

Neither of us really believed that United would win but win United did

0:34.4

champion is champion is

0:37.4

what's happened is it we not won the league quite yet

0:41.2

no

0:41.6

apparently it was our cup final so you so you say some cheeky get arsenal fans.

0:46.3

I had to remind a few, personally in some circumstances, that one side here were champions

0:52.1

and won the league by 11 points last season and the other side hadn't won a thing for a decade.

0:56.8

Yes, well quite, but they had been elected champions of England and they looked anything but I think listen it was a

1:03.2

Robert McGobby election was that it was a game of very definitely

1:07.7

without question two halves right one was not very good and the other was

1:11.9

1:38.0

you know how to do that very successfully for a period of time and of course scored from the set piece which would have been part of the thinking too, though I'm not quite sure too many people would have thought that Robin Van Percy would tower above all to score.

1:50.0

rhythm that was game plan number one game plan number two was to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm and that's the same for Game Plan
