    Some great topics lately, well done team!

    Makes the MUFC fanbase look terrible
    A podcast hosted by two unbearable, insufferable human beings who rant, cuss and offer nothing in terms of actual content. Skip to save your time.

    Doesn’t get better. It’s hard to find a sports cast full of reasonable opinions— this is it!

    Eric subscribes (maybe)
    Need I say more? Probably the best united podcast ever. The GOAT of MUFC podcasts! Enough said really that Eric subscribes (maybe). Big thanks to Ed, Producer Tom, and all guests.

    Great Balance of United
    No snappy headlines or click bait, good honest opinions. Great Pod!
  • Your nuanced reviewer
    One of the more misogynistic mufc pods out there.
    Tough listen these days with the misogynist attitudes towards women. Shocking that these men don’t believe a women can decide what’s right for her and her partner. Instead they demean the 0silly little girl” and preach that men like ETH and the glazers should punish Greenwood for something against her wishes.

    A cry for help
    When did this podcast become this depressing? If you, dear listener, are from a certain ethnicity and a geographical location, prepare to feel harassed, belittled and lumped in negative stereotypes in every podcast. If you are in for the football and the club, then find another podcast. If you are in for the righteous politics, you will find a lot of grandstanding and lecturing about issues the hosts know next to nothing about. Moaning, moaning then some more moaning. I feel the need for therapy after every podcast.

    Used to love it, but now find it shallow and repetitive
    Been listening to this show for almost 10 years and always loved it to death. Recently the show has become a constant and unbearable virtue signalling rant. While all the points brought up by Ed and the rest of the team regarding possible Qatari ownership, “financial doping”, and Qatar hosting the world cup are valid and important to talk about, it’s difficult to hear the same points repeated literally every podcast. Moreover, the way these issues are talked about is often in a way that screams a euro-supremacist worldview and lacks any consideration of alternative points of view. A few episodes when one of the guests pushed Ed on why Qatari ownership is worse than a Ratcliffe ownership, Ed really struggled to come up with a coherent answer. Perhaps the answer is just that the British people and government can’t stand the idea of arab states medelling in their affairs. I mean cry me a river. Ed’s refrain of “I would criticize the UK government if they tried buying a club” really misses the point that every day the UK is benefiting from the EPL’s soft power. This is not to use a whataboutery kind of argument, but it feels hypocritical that every episode arab state ownership is criticized, but not the UK government and the years and years of oppression and colonialism that allowed the UK to export a cultural product like the EPL. I wish all the ills in the EPL are criticized equally and in a volume that results in a bearable listening product. The football cant be divorced from the political context, but the football isn’t ALL about the political context, and it’s certainly not only about SOME of the political context. I know the response is gonna be some snarky comment in the pod about how I asked Ed to shut up and dribble, but again that would be missing the point. Genuinely wishing you all the best and hope you take this criticism with an open heart and mind! You have provided me great company on many walks and commutes and I’ll always be grateful for that.

    Great show.
    Great analysis and sometimes righteous anger.

    Gone downhill since Paul left
    Thankfully Talk of the Devils and Stretford Paddock are around to fill the gap left by NQAT since Paul left. Wayne and Tom are decent but not enough to keep listening. It’s become so repetitive, tedious and smug.
  • faith child 100898
    Negative nellies.
    They are super negative…. They stating obvious repeatedly. No real analysis of club or tactics. I really disappointed overall with the quality of this podcast.

    Showing you love from Ethiopia. I try not to miss an episode usually I don’t.

    Stop interrupting, mate
    Love it and been listening since it was ye olde Rant Cast. But Ed, you’ve got to let your pod mates finish their thoughts, you’re interrupting them often, and it’s quite distracting - I miss the points you’re both trying to make. Keep up the good work and come on, United!
  • Sr88889
    Brilliant Podcast
    One of the best United centric podcast. Football analysis and reaction with humor and a conscience.
  • NiiCleland
    Wayne and Ed are great
    Wayne has been a great addition. Ideally would be him and Ed every show. Miss Paul a lot too - he was great
  • abeanmimed
    Well Done
    One of my long time favorite shows. Killer name, theme song and great content. Thanks!
  • Redvedev
    Thank you NQAT
    Bless Ed & Paul for a variety of reasons. Started listening in the last season of Sir Alex, since then they’ve not only helped me through the trauma of Moyes, the drudgery of Van Gaal-ball and the legit human garbage can that is Mourinho. Not just that but, after emigrating to the US back in 2014, they’ve been a bedrock for me in just about having some kind of tangible connection to both United and home. Perfect good cop/ bad cop combo with great levels of analysis to match their love for club. I understand completely the complexity of managing to make things work over extreme time zones so the level of effort everyone involved puts in can’t be under appreciated. Here’s to plenty more years of NQAT.

    Such a shame...
    If you want to hear two snowflakes talk about Manchester United and Donald Trump, then this is the podcast for you! Especially if you like match reviews done by people who have often not watched the game, and when they have, they’ve not taken any notes and normally cannot remember who scored or what even happened in the game they are recapping. And any time a black player is criticized for whatever reason, it is surely because of racism, not because of a poor performance. Poor performances are only left to Nemana Matic or Dan James, who have the wrong skin color and therefore must be judged differently. Plus everything always loops back to Boris Johnson or Donald Trump! It’s a shame. This used to be a fun podcast to listen to.

    First time listener
    First time listening to this podcast - like your honesty but guys, you need to be more prepared. If you are producing something at least do some research. I will continue to listen hoping you would care more!

    This pod makes me smile
    Live this pod have listened to it for years and years! One of the best parts of the week (even when the underlying isn’t the greatest😂)! I laughed, I cried, I lost 10 pounds. Literally the best pod I’ve ever heard. 5/7 perfect score!
  • Their#1fan
    Fantastic podcast on Manchester United, the Premiere League, and Football in general
    Paul and Ed are the best. Whether it’s a fun win or frustrating loss (or anything in the middle) I always look forward to hearing their take.
  • MUFC geographer
    Best Manchester United podcast out there!
    I have been listening to Paul and Ed discuss all things United for over 2 years now. Since then, a long list of Manchester United podcasts have come out, but NQAT (formerly RC) has always been head and shoulders above all of them. Paul & Ed have terrific insight and contrasting styles which bring a good balance to the discussion. They’ve been doing this for a decade now and the conversations flow naturally. Highly recommended!
  • Way of the Guns
    Favorite MUFC Pod
    This pod has actually become the only MUFC pod I listen to now. I enjoy the measured and knowledgeable way they recap, review, and discuss all aspects of the team. These boys talk me back from the ledge of unending anger on the regs. Cheers!!

    Good United Podcast
    Ed was right, we should've made signing a CDM a priortiy this past summer

    Great Podcast
    Great United podcast ! Great to celebrate a win with or a pick me up after a loss.

    Great United podcast
    Been listening for years. Great content consistently. Look forward to the podcast twice a week! Thanks for the great show, long may it continue!
  • thecliffordf
    Great United Coverage
    This podcast is the best United fan content that I have come across. Has the perfect mix of serious analysis and humor. Paul crushes the XG stats and Ed provides insights into the business side of United. Their love for United outweighs whatever personal agenda they still have against Wayne Rooney
  • karan301
    Essential listening for all United fans
    I listen to a small army of football podcast throughout the week and this is, bar none, the best one for Manchester United fans. They’ve been at it longer than anyone else and are excellent comfort when I’m moping about after a United loss. Strong recommend, give it a listen. (Oh and if you like them, support the show on Patreon - no ads, and extra content. Win-win.)
  • Nathaniel1878
    Amazing Podcast
    Simply the best Man Utd podcast out there, and one of the best football podcasts as well. The discussion between Paul and Ed is engaging and thoughtful. They address wider social issues surrounding the club in addition to providing in depth analysis of the performances on the pitch. Really love listening to this podcast, long may it continue.
  • Berkley S
    Best United Pod out there
    This is by far my favorite Manchester United podcast. The hosts do a great job of talking about the games while also sprinkling in just enough statistical analysis without putting me to sleep
  • Brandon.m.Lyons
    United on field and off
    A great podcast by a pair of dudes who talk about more than just the product on the field. They also talk a good about about the systems in place, and the political aspects of the game.

    Best united podcast out there. No question about it

    Excellence in the face of Mediocrity
    Despite the Club’s woeful form and bleak outlook, these gents have made my United fandom tolerable if not still highly irrational. Their insight and perspectives help make sense of a club that has been painfully vexing since Fergie’s departure. I truly appreciate their hard work and passion. They are often the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down. Fantastic pod! (Glazer’s Out)
  • Miguelunited75
    Brilliant
    I really enjoy this podcast. I listen to a few podcasts about United but this is by far the best.

    THE Go To, Manchester United Podcast
    I started listening to multiple United podcasts a few years ago and after a few months realized there’s no need for the others. Due to Paul and Ed’s long history with Manchester United and friendship, the pod feels very personal. They are very knowledgeable about United’s history, about football/soccer, statistics and all around smart people in general (also decent human beings). Theirs personalities are very different and they play well off each other. The reboot from United Rant to NQAT has only made the pod more exceptional. I hope you guys keep at it for many years to come! GGMU

  • adam vizy
    I’d give it 10 out of 5
    Been listening for almost 10 years. Started around episode 37 maybe 38? Anyways the rant cast has always been something. I looked forward to every week. I love Paul’s humanitarian views and Ed’s Brutal honesty backed up by numbers and a bit of humor at the scousers expense to prove his points! I highly recommend the episode before united played barcelona at wembley where optimism was still high and Paul and Ed were questioning Wayne Rooney’s basic understanding of the plot for the lion king. Ahhh fun times! Cheers Ed and Paul from Philadelphia!

    Thanks for actually being a nuanced take on United.
  • DiyaSensei
    Consistent
    Wasn’t my first United podcast, but the other just went caput out of nowhere! These guys don’t stop. Full on hour-length casts every week is pretty impressive work. I appreciate their thoroughness and good vibes.
  • Cool_Phil
    Look foward to every ep
    Best Manchester United podcast hands down. Only wish I discovered this sonner. Love the banter between Paul and Ed.
  • ced1968
    Thank You!
    This is the best Manchester United podcast out there. Not only is the analysis of a high quality, but the emphasis on nuance and the larger contexts of issues off the pitch makes this podcast top notch. Paul and Ed - you’ve helped me so much. Thanks!
  • Des funk
    5 STAR SHOW!
    This is the most consistently well produced United pod out there. Paul and Ed don’t waste your time with banter... they’re quick to praise results, but keep a realist and unbiased perspective on the state of our club. Big shout for Tom who is the mysterious bleeper/editor of the show. Seriously subscribe to this pod. - Matt
