    Is the Asian Cup OFF? Plus, Man United in “complete collapse” | Straight Yellow

    Manchester United are in "complete collapse", and the fans are cheering the one man who's about to lose his job. This week on Straight Yellow, Adam Peacock and Robbie Slater pick through the wreckage at Old Trafford. Gary Neville's raw reaction, Carrick's goodbye wave, Martinez and Bruno having a go, and the big question: who do you bring in now? Conte? Eddie Howe? Plus the racehorse feud that handed the club to the Glazers, and how Bournemouth beat United and AC Milan inside four days. Then Robbie tells the greatest Graham Arnold conspiracy theory of all time. Italian World Cup star Nicola Berti turns up at Northern Spirit, and Arnie becomes convinced it isn't actually him, it's his twin brother. Mikel Arteta's 36-clip dossier proves managers haven't changed. Is the Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia going ahead, and where does that leave Tony Popovic and the Socceroos? The boys also answer your comments on a Tasmanian A-League team, Vidmar's call for 16 clubs, why the APL stays silent, and whether Robbie really drops the F-bomb on this show.
