That's The Way The Apple Crumbles
10/11/2025 Duración: 46minUnited come away from the North West with another clean sheet and finally an away point.

Jules, Tom and Caspell are on this week to review their day out in Salford.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

Saloppy Seconds
13/10/2025 Duración: 54minIt’s almost too predictable. United faced a team that hadn’t taken the lead at home since February, hadn’t won or taken the lead at home in Michael Appleton’s 31 game tenure, and sat 23rd in League One. Fast forward to 5pm on Saturday, Shrewsbury came out comfortable 2-0 winners to leave United still looking for anything resembling consistency. Matt, Tom and Jord try to unpick it all.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:

The Underthinker
29/09/2025 Duración: 58minAn all-timer of a boring and forgettable 0-0 draw for United on Saturday.
