The Comedown

This week on another packed Rant Cast regulars Ed and Paul look back at Manchester United’s victory over Queens Park Rangers, achieved with a touch of good fortune.

When Manchester City lost at Arsenal to cement United’s eight point Premier League lead fans confidence was sky high. Hubris is a dangerous emotion though and we discuss whether over-confidence played a part in United’s loss to Wigan Athletic this week.

We talk transfers, with renewed speculation about Nicolas Gaitan, Eden Hazard and Paul Pogba. Also: who will United bring in to replace outgoing strikers Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov.

We touch on youth, with the Academy side taking on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this week. Will the latest crop do enough to impress Sir Alex Ferguson?

And finally we look ahead to United’s fixture with Aston Villa on Sunday, where the Reds will look to bounce back from midweek defeat.

Happy Birthday to co-host Paul!
