They've got Pep Guardiola, we've got Michael Carrick. In his first match as coach, Carrick's Man Utd side beat Man City 2-0. It wasn't even close. In just 3 days, Carrick showed us the blueprint: football that plays to our strengths. Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu scored, but Man Utd could've had six. Three goals were ruled out for offside, and Donnarumma made five saves. This was about IDENTITY.  Tap in.

Man Utd are a broken record, literally breaking records for all the wrong reasons. After their FA Cup exit, they're set to play just 40 games this season, the fewest in 111 years. This goes deeper than football. United lack leadership, accountability, and any sense of how to compete in the modern game. Tosin's had enough. Same problems, same excuses, no solutions. In this episode, he breaks down exactly where it all went wrong and why it keeps getting worse. Tap in.

The Gunners blew their chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 8 points after a lethargic and boring effort against an extremely depleted, defensive, and technically impressive Liverpool.

Man United have officially sacked Ruben Amorim. 14 months of misery, and it's over. But here's the reality: Amorim was a problem, but he wasn't THE problem. INEOS, the Glazers, Jason Wilcox, Omar Berrada. They all have a lot to answer for. As Nino Brown said in New Jack City: "This thing is bigger than Nino Brown. This is big business." The real question isn't whether Amorim deserved to go. It's whether INEOS and the Glazers can actually get the next hire right and fix the broken structure that keeps producing the same results.  Tap in!

Join Tosin and Coach as the wrap up the weekends action in: - Serie A- La Liga- Ligue 1- The Premier League- And last by no means least the latest action from the AFCON (this starts from 38:45)

Ruben Amorim lost his composure after Manchester United’s 1–1 draw with Leeds. He has been at the club since November 2024 and he is already in open conflict with the people who hired him. Sound familiar? Moyes. Van Gaal. Mourinho. Solskjaer. Rangnick. Ten Hag. Now Amorim. Different managers. Same failure. Because the problem at Manchester United is not the coach. It never has been. As Stringer Bell said in The Wire: “Ain’t no new package. Just gonna put that same shit out in a different colored gelcap.” That is United. Glazers to INEOS, nothing has changed. Just fresh messaging and false hope. Let's down the reality at Man United. Tactical chaos on the pitch. A power struggle behind the scenes. A club with no football identity that thinks another manager and more spending will fix it. Tap in!
