Playing for the Shirt

#127. Ed & Paul look back on United's matches against Stoke in the Premier League and SC Braga in Europe. Sir Alex Ferguson's team came away with two victories, but once again looked suspect at the back. Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand and Ferguson were embroiled in a media row over the Kick It Out t-shirt that never was. Ferguson came within a whisker of a PR disaster, while Ferdinand maintained a quiet dignity. We analyse what the row means for United, Ferguson, Ferdinand and race relations in English football. We talk about David Gill's appointment to the FA and the inherent conflicts of interest involved, while we laud Ajax fans rejection of "modern football". And Wayne Rooney's endorsement of Barrack Obama - does that seal the presidential election?! Finally, we preview the week ahead with a double-header against Chelsea in the Premier League and Capital One CupNo Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.
