What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 612 & BENKYO RADIO 612.

It’s time for some praise for Erik Ten Hag. He was clearly beaten and placed MUFC at the bottom of the table. This was terrible. Thankfully, he won the next 2 following matches, and we are now 8th place on the EPL table. There’s still a lot of work to do to be Top 4, and remain Top 4 for the end of the 2022/2023 season. We must secure a UCL spot for the 2023/2024 campaign. It is imperative. I think MUFC has woken up, and they will do the Manager proud. Let’s remember that there will be about 38 matches in the EPL season. We must take every match seriously in order to stay proud for our statistics at the end of the season. Go UNITED!

Until Next Time!
