Summary

#65. When Tory Minister for Sport Jeremy Hunt recently described football as the "worst governed sport in the country" he surely hit the nail on the head. And in the week that the incompetent, self-serving, Football Association banned Sir Alex Ferguson for five matches Ed & Paul lead the fightback!Also in this week's packed show, we cover United's FA Cup win over Arsenal, progression in the Champions League - the quarter-final draw against Chelsea - and looks ahead to Bolton at the weekend. We talk injury crisis, Tony V's return, Robbo's illness and a crazy FA Youth Cup win. Finally, we ponder Old Trafford's lack of atmosphere and Wayne Rooney's 'loyalty'.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

The So, Ed we've got city in the semi-final are you excited about that one you kind of feel it should have been the final right? I mean you

0:35.0

know Bolton and and whoever else Wigan is it no? Stoke. Stoke! I knew it from

0:40.6

that part of the world. Wiggin than Stoke are not really in the same part of the world.

0:45.0

Well, they're all within sort of 30 miles of each other.

0:48.0

But you know, we've talked about Stoke before, they think they're somehow local rivals to us, don't they?

0:53.6

That's true.

0:54.6

Absolutely nonsense.

0:55.6

Yeah, so you kind of feel it'd have been a nice final.

0:58.0

In fact, the perfect final would have been United against City,

1:01.2

City winning until about a minute into injury time, and we score a couple of

wembly holders so that's about that's about 15,000 tickets not going to to

1:39.6

United or city fans plus there's all the sponsors actually what what should have happened is they

1:43.5

should have just held the game at Old Trafford clearly next biggest ground in the country.

1:47.3

Yeah yeah that's absolutely fine that seems totally reasonable. I mean I really missed the days of the semifinals at Villa Park and Old
