Oh my. Manchester United and Manchester City are meeting in the League Cup. We absolutely HAD to speak with our friend Michael Terry (Vice Sports, Grantland, The Classical) to break this momentous matchup down. The big question of today's pod-- Who The Fuck Are Man United? An unholy alliance with Jose Mourinho. A misremembered history clouded by borrowed nostalgia. The audacity of Pep. It's all here on the SPHERICAL Podcast. Follow Michael on Twitter @michael_a_terry!
