A Manchester United & Chelsea Podcast
Two Brothers. One a lifelong Manchester United fan and the other - a Chelsea FC fanatic. In this podcast we discuss and review both the Chelsea and United games for the 20/21 season. In what promises to be an interesting season, we will also bring on other football fans to bring their perspectives to the discussion. Hope you all enjoy!
Well the last 9 days was eventful for United and Chelsea, with United losing to Bayern Munich 4-3 but getting back to back wins against Burnley and Crystal Palace as the vast majority of the squad and fans back Erik Ten Hag. Chelsea lose 1-0 to Aston Villa but beat Brighton with the same score line in the League Cup. With Man City knocked out, the competition is now wide open for the other “Top 6” sides. More injury woes for both Chelsea and United as we look to the coming games at the weekend with United taking on Palace again at OT, but this time in the Premier League and Chelsea play away to Fulham. Lastly we briefly touch on Antony being available for United and their game at home to Galatasaray in the Champions League.Hit us up on Twitter as we would love to take listener questions: @BlazerDave33 (Blazer Dave) and @CFC_Eire (CFC Éire)
A feeling that is becoming all too familiar so far this season, as United lose 3-1 at home to Brighton and Chelsea fail to score away at Bournemouth as the match ends 0-0. Myself and Marc reflect on the weekend games and discuss if we are both in for a long, long season. Erik Ten Hag remains under some pressure as the media begin sharpening the knives - is history starting to repeat itself once again for another United manager? We preview Bayern Munich vs Man United in the Champions League, and look at the weekend games with Man United going away to bloody Burnley and Chelsea play Aston Villa at home.Hit us up on Twitter as we would love to take listener questions: @BlazerDave33 (Blazer Dave) and @CFC_Eire (CFC Éire)
The international break is over and we return to discuss Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, with Marc losing his 28 game unbeaten streak at Stamford Bridge in the process. Marc thought if Forest scored first Chelsea would really struggle against the low block, will this be a theme throughout the season for The Blues? We also reflect on the Arsenal and United game with mystic Marc correctly predicting the 3-1 win to Arsenal but does that score really reflect the game? In what has been a very difficult season already for Erik Ten Hag, the club now has to deal with abuse allegations involving a second United player & the fallout with Jadon Sancho as the club appears in disarray. Lastly we preview the weekend games as United take on Brighton at Old Trafford and Chelsea go away to Bournemouth (I almost went a whole episode without ranting but Marc pushed the Harry Maguire button and I go off on one).Hit us up on Twitter as we would love to take listener questions: @BlazerDave33 (Blazer Dave) and @CFC_Eire (CFC Éire)
We return on the Eve of Transfer Deadline Day to discuss the Chelsea wins over Luton Town and Wimbledon, as Marc speaks about being at the Luton game with friend of the show Waylon, and how it was being back at The Bridge. We look at United’s 3-2 win against 10 men Nottingham Forest, recent injuries with United players, transfers for both teams, the Champions League & League Cup draws and lastly preview the weekends coming games as Chelsea take on Forest and United meet Arsenal away at the Emirates.

Myself and Marc return as I rant for 33 minutes about the state of Manchester United, the 2-0 defeat to Spurs, Greenwood leaving the club, Uniteds Top 10 transfer sales and how some of the fan base/media are starting to turn on ETH already. Marc then discusses the disappointing 3-1 loss to West Ham, breaking news on a Chelsea striker and if Chelsea will struggle against the lower teams this season. We also preview the coming games at the weekend as Marc travels off to see Chelsea vs Luton, and I relax on my day off to see United beat Nottingham Forest (hopefully).Hit us up on Twitter as we would love to take listener questions: @BlazerDave33 (Blazer Dave) and @CFC_Eire (CFC Éire)

It’s been well over a year since our last podcast and SO much has changed with regards to Chelsea FC and Manchester United. We try our best to go through the last year, Chelsea’s new ownership, the sacking of Tommy T and Graham Potter, their crazy spending on players and how bad their season has gone. Compared to United who have already won a trophy this season under new manager Erik Ten Hag, are in the top 4 and still competing in two other cup competitions. This podcast is slightly lacking structure and we were under time constraints, but we can be forgiven as this is our first podcast in over a year!

On this episode we welcome back friend of the show Matty to discuss the transfer windows of both United & Chelsea and how well we think each club will do this season. We also give our thoughts on who will make top 4, what teams will get European places and who we think will be relegated. Grealish & Kane to Man City is touched on along with Messi going to PSG & if fans are sleeping on Liverpool. We try our best to predict the teams that will win domestic and European silverware & finally look to the opening games of the season - as United take on Leeds & Chelsea face Crystal Palace.
On this episode I talk to my friend and fellow United supporter Matty, as we dive into dissecting the season and give our views on the Europa League final defeat, how we would rate the season, Ole as a United manager - his strengths and weaknesses, what the team needs to improve, the incoming transfer window, the Glazer Protests and also touch on the Goalkeeper situation between Henderson and De Gea. Really great episode and conversation which we hope you all enjoy!

It’s gone as quick as it came - with draws to Everton and Arsenal, topped off with a woeful loss to bottom of the league Sheffield United, it seems Ole’s title charge is over. Still in 2nd place but 5 points behind leaders Man City who have a game in hand. Marc briefly reflects on the sacking of Frank Lampard and looks to the future as Thomas Tuchel takes the reigns at Chelsea. Tommy T’s Chelsea now sit 1 point behind 4th place Liverpool after taking over them in 10th. We also go off on a Jose Mourinho tangent, his fall from the best manager in the world but will he still be considered one of the greatest of our time?

In football, a lot can happen in 3 months. A lot. In an astonishing turn of events, Ole’s United sit top of the league on 40 points, as Frank has drifted back to 8th on 29 points. My brother breaks down what he feels has gone wrong at Chelsea and discusses if “It’s time to go!” for Super Frank. We touch on United’s form under Ole and try to evaluate the Top 4 after 19 games played.
We discuss 4 football games, EFL cup matches Chelsea vs Tottenham and Brighton vs United. Then into the premier league with Crystal Palace vs Chelsea and United vs Tottenham - a woeful performance from United with a devastating loss - is this the beginning of the end for Ole? We look at the transfer window as it is now closed, rate each other windows and once again discuss United as a football club (business). We also do a quick run down of the astonishing loss Liverpool suffered against Aston Villa.
Marc and I go through some of the football matches this past week including the league cup games - United vs Luton & Chelsea vs Barnsley. Of course we get into the Premier League games also as United went away to Brighton and Chelsea took on newly promoted side West Brom with the two games being an utter madness - both teams expected a win but it was far from being the usual run of the mill performances from our respected clubs. We briefly touch on All or Nothing Spurs documentary and we look to next week for predictions on some big games, including United vs Spurs & Chelsea vs Crystal Palace in the Premier League, and league cup games against Brighton & Spurs. Hope you all enjoy!
On this episode we discuss the opening games of the season for Chelsea and United, with Chelsea just about getting past Brighton 3-1 and United with a shocking and dismal performance losing 3-1 at home. Lastly we take a look at Chelsea’s loss to Liverpool, how a red card completely changed the game and we welcome a special guest and Liverpool supporter Paul who shares his thoughts and feelings on what is going on at United, while Liverpool go from strength to strength. Enjoy guys!
