The Athletic

Hello, I'm Mark Chapman, welcome to the Athletic Football podcast.

Coming up, we're joined by Adam Crafton and our Shane Thomas to dig a little deeper into Manchester United's win at West Hamill.

We'll also talk about the future of Declan Wright.

Our Tottenham writer, Charlie Eccleshare, saw Chelsea Breeze pass spurs on Sunday.

He'll be with us to talk about that and the rivalry that's developed a boardroom level between the two clubs.

And the athletics, Manchester City Writer Sam Lee

will share his take on the Pep Guardiola comment

about his club's fans.

Noble, saved by De Heyer!

It's an incredible stop by David De Heya that looks as though it's rescued the win for Manchester United.

Well, we'll start the pod with some of the talking points from the game at the London Stadium on Sunday

between West Ham and Manchester United. Both the athletics, West Ham writer, Roshane Thomas, and Adam

Crafton, were there.

Roshane, let me start with you.

Do you think what happened at the end will hang over West Ham, or do you think it

will be brushed off quite quickly?

I hope it will be brushed off quite quickly, Mark, because it's one that's caused a lot

of debate.

Prior to Noble comment on, I tweeted that David Moy's a genius. A lot of people have been laughing at me since that tweet. So I just go to show how things can, you know, go one way and go, yeah, but look, I can see why David Moyes brought on Mark Noble, arguably the best penny you take out at West Ham. The last time he missed prior to yesterday, it was five years,

and that was December 2016 against Burnley.

So it was written in the stars for him to school the Equalizer, but unfortunately it wanted to be. But I think the main problem for West Tam right now, you're like Barre Noble, they don't have a novice penalty-taker. You've got Declan Rice, got the self-confidence school penalty against Sheppard United in February but he missed his last penalty against West Brom and me.
