Hi everyone, welcome to a clip from our Redmen Plus show, The Biased Football Podcast. This is about Michael Carrick, but we also discuss the actual defeat itself. We discuss whether it should be an Eaglesman or how, which you're going to see shortly. Everton losing to Arsenal, and then being completely and utterly pointless. The villains beating the villains.

Chelsea losing to Spurs, as well as the El Clasico and Jose Mourinho, and how fun it is to see the big Divi back at the top, causing all kinds of issues. And of course, we discuss Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or. If you want to get involved, go and download the Redmen Plus app. If you're new to it, you can sign up for just a month for just £1.

Enjoy the show. We're going to start with my favourite topic of the weekend, which is Manchester United nil. Bournemouth 3, Dan, I know it's very strange, talking about this on a Tuesday, like proper strange, but we can laugh at Man United any day of the week, I suppose.

Dan (1:33)

I'm not against it, far from it, and we tend to. So why not? Why break the habit of a lifetime? Certainly, you know, an adult lifetime, my childhood was very much not having the capabilities, nor the wiggle room of which to laugh at Manchester United. It was very much roles reversed for a large period of time there. But yeah, listen, this shoe is also on the other foot right now, isn't it? They are absolutely abysmal. Like genuinely, like there's been a lot of times over the course of the last four, five, six, beyond years, where we've been able to point and laugh at what's going on at Manchester United. Whether that be on the pitch or off the pitch, just the absolute shit show that our football club has been in the past nigh on decade.

But this feels like maybe the worst of that potentially. I'm not entirely sure. Yeah, it takes some, you know, it's fierce competition, to be honest.

Chris Pajak (2:21)

They've definitely got the worst collection of defenders I've ever seen at the moment.

Dan (2:24)

That's true. And I think what makes this one especially hilarious is because we and the footballing world, not sick months ago, were saying they might have the rack together. There's a different guy in town when it comes to, you know, on the board in the hierarchy, Jim Radcliffe and, you know, Michael Carrick was getting a tune out of them and they're actually making some semi decent transfer decisions and recruitment, stuff like that. So, yeah, the fact that we can now sit here, what are we, end of October and all that be wrong and be proven widely accurate and they are just shite is glorious. And I think the fact they're doing this on Tuesdays as opposed to Monday has changed the conversation in terms of had we been doing this yesterday, it would have felt like the tune of the conversation would have been as a matter of time. Like whilst we're live, he might get sacked. Now, fast forward 24 hours, I think they're going to keep him, which is mad.

Chris Pajak (3:12)

It's wild, isn't it, Ryan, because you can keep the wrong man for too long. Before I get your thought on that, there we do have a tweet on my laptop, which I'm sure everybody's seen by now. Manchester United should sack Carrick and immediately appoint him as interim manager. They sort this mess out, which I just thought was brilliant, because me and Josh were talking about this on the deep dive. Yes, they, Ryan, they seem to have a really good record with interim managers, so Josh said basically they should probably just change his title to interim manager and then be done.

Ryan (3:41)

Yeah, they had the sort of bounce with Arley a couple of seasons ago when he came in as an interim, and then they jumped the gun and gave him his, I remember the club affair that I'm doing around the years ago, give him what he wants and he gets given the full time appointment and then that all goes to shit. And it's happened again. I know he sat in the second time with the interim. Yeah. I think he was the interim after Arley got sacked. I think he won two and then he went with Ragnach.
