  • Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

    Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United
    May 4 2026
    Paddy, Scholesy and Nicky are joined by Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel to react to Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Liverpool. They break down how a dominant first-half performance turned into a nervy finish and why United lost control of the game. There’s a deep dive into Kobbie Mainoo’s return under Michael Carrick, his growing influence on the side, and the big midfield debate: who should partner him long-term - Sandro Tonali, Eduardo Camavinga or Adam Wharton? Peter brings up a surprise name who he thinks could fill that role. Nicky explains why he believes the United head coach role is Carrick’s to lose, while Peter highlights the importance of Steve Holland behind the scenes. There’s also a surprising take from Schmeichel on why he hopes Mainoo doesn’t go to the World Cup with England national football team. Elsewhere, Peter draws comparisons between Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany and United’s iconic treble winners and why today’s football can feel over-coached, with Bayern a rare exception. Nicky reveals why United never feared losing under Sir Alex Ferguson, while Peter shares how you could tell what mood Fergie was in and why a certain biscuit tin became legendary at Old Trafford. There are throwback stories including a fiery dressing-down for United's squad from Graham Taylor of all people, the truth behind that infamous non-handshake between Schmeichel and Gary Neville before the Manchester derby and Nicky reveals just how close he came to joining Real Madrid’s Galacticos team. Plus: was the 1994 side actually Fergie’s best? Why Scholes and Butt dreaded warming up Schmeichel, how Paul Ince tore into Scholesy after a missed chance, and why Peter hated being chipped in training. And, the lads tackle the biggest question of all: do dogs need a passport? If you want to ask the guys anything about football email them at: questions@goodbadfootball.co.uk.

    Apr 20 2026
    Paul, Nicky and Paddy dive into Manchester City’s massive 2-1 win over Arsenal and what it means for the title race. Scholesy doesn’t hold back, arguing that Arsenal’s failure to deliver in the biggest moments has cost them yet again, while the lads debate where this title would rank for Pep Guardiola if City go all the way. There’s also praise for Bernardo Silva, who Paul believes was the standout player on the pitch, and a wider discussion about leadership, or the lack of it, in this Arsenal side.

Paul questions what Chelsea are actually building, and the panel discuss how long Liam Rosenior might realistically have in the job. The conversation then shifts to Alejandro Garnacho, with Nicky giving an inside perspective from his time at the club and explaining why he believes selling him was the right call. Scholesy goes even further, questioning Garnacho’s mentality, and the lads debate how a player like him would have been received in their dressing room.
