Summary

#383. Victory over Leicester was something of a surprise given the dominant narrative around these two sides. The Foxes are a team on the rise, with a high quality midfield, and an in-form striker. United, by contrast, a team in perpetual transition, with a midfield as weak as any in living memory. The result, a 1-0 victory, broke this narrative, although the game played out to a predictable pattern. Ed & Paul discuss the weekend's victory, look forward to United's Europa League kick-off at home to FC Astana and preview the upcoming match at West Ham.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

0:55.3

Right. Yeah, good story. Their executive director was English although he had no football career of note.

Does that mean they had like 1% of Iceland's male population or something?

It's always the way, isn't it, with Iceland.

It's almost more Icelandic than Kazakhstani based on populations.
