Summary

#148. On this week's pod Ed & Paul look back on all the derby action, with City taking the spoils after yet another sub-par United performance. Can Sir Alex Ferguson drag his side out of the recent funk, or will United's double-header against Stoke and West Ham bring the Blues back into the title race? It might have been a good week for the Blues over at the Eastlands, but perhaps not those on Downing Street after Margaret Thatcher died. What was the former Prime Minister's football legacy? Finally, we look ahead to the coming week's matches at the Britannia and Upton Park, and take your questions.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.
