Summary
A result, and a performance, that felt very familiar. Leading, then trailing, and rounded off with a late equaliser, Amorim's Manchester United reminded us (again) that they are a work in progress and that you can't believe the league table at half-time.
So here we are, again, praising Casemiro, but wondering if he has another five or ten minutes in him. We believe in Benjamin Sesko, but not without one or two slight concerns. We feel reassured by the ever-present Matthis de Ligt and fear the impending Afcon talent drain.
There's a massive few days in store for Manchester United's women. They'll be looking to put a disappointing defeat behind them when they host Mary Earps' PSG at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Then there's the small matter of a Manchester derby before another Champions League fixture away at Wolfsburg.
Join us at Soho Theatre Walthamstow on Tuesday evening; last few tickets available here.

| 1:01.5 | one place to start. Lots of people got in touch. We need to say congratulations because you managed |
| 1:06.0 | to name probably about half a dozen radio head songs before a single one of us twigged on in the last show. So yeah, congratulations for doing that. Okay. No surprises tonight then, boys. I won't mention any more. No, okay. Don't. Thank goodness Carl actually recognized it. Imagine if we've gone through the whole podcast without noticing that. I reckon it'd be funnier. |
| 1:44.9 | Well, yeah, it's not really my taste, to be honest. So I don't feel any sort of shame whatsoever about it. Is that a song? I don't think you should feel bad about it. I was just a bit giddy. I'd seen a brilliant concert and I was just a bit, I was just a being me. Did you know which ones you're going to say? or did you just think of them in a moment as they came to you? I wasn't even going to say any, |
