And what does Jim Goodwin do with Yevhen Kucherenko after his horror show against Falkirk? Also why laying blame solely at the goalie’s feet is not right.

Move over Scotland heroes, we’re back to local heroes. The Premiership returns this weekend and both sides of the street have crucial league clashes. We start with Dundee United this week and their home game against Falkirk. John McGlynn’s side are two points ahead of the Tangerines in the table – can the Terrors leapfrog the Bairns? And we find out why Bear isn’t keen on United’s Kazakh target. Plus, how do Dundee shock third-placed Hibs? We also have a look back at the Deefiant era for good measure. Hosting in the studio is Courier Sport editor Sean Hamilton alongside United writer Alan Temple, Dundee writer George Cran and former Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.

Dundee United has been at the heart of a journey which has taken him from Broughty Ferry to Brink’s-Mat and an award-winning television career. Award-winning screenwriter Neil Forsyth joined Courier journalist Graeme Strachan for a special episode of Twa Teams, One Street to chat all things Dundee United. The life long Arab – the man behind Bob Servant, Guilt and The Gold – shares his memories of watching the Tangerines, his favourite games, a run-in with Jim McLean and reveals the Tangerine trend which runs through his TV work. Neil, who grew up in Broughty Ferry, recalls watching iconic matches like the 1987 Uefa Cup victory over Barcelona and the 1994 Scottish Cup win against Rangers.
We look at what to expect on both sides of the street ahead of the January transfer window – as Dundee United are linked with a Kazakh winger. There is fulsome for Luca Stephenson, the player and the person, as he commits to the Terrors for the rest of the season. And what have we learned from the Tangerines’ season so far? Are they better than last season? Why are they happy not to have the ball? At Dens Park, how much did they bank for Josh Mulligan? Probably less than £20 million… We discuss how the Dee can get the best out of Simon Murray. Is Yan Dhanda the key or is there simply no place for that style of player? George outlines what Steven Pressley will be working on during the international break and looks ahead to a pivotal January. How will Dundee’s transfer hierarchy ahead of a window in which the Dee must excel – or face relegation. Dundee United reporter Alan Temple is joined by Dundee counterpart George Cran and former Evening Telegraph sports editor Graeme Finnan. The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton is on hosting duties.

A massive weekend ahead for Dundee and Dundee United – can either pull off a shock? The Tangerines head to runaway league leaders Hearts aiming to do what no one else has done this season. How do they stop Shankland & Co? And who is United’s Tom Selleck? Dens Park will see Rangers arrive to face Dundee live on the telly – will it be more of the same from the Dark Blues or can they repeat their Celtic show? Plenty to get through this week on Twa Teams, One Street as host Sean Hamilton questions Courier Sport writers George Cran and Alan Temple.

Just the one game to review and just the two talking heads to do it. Dundee had a day to forget at Hearts on Saturday, a real Hallowe’en horror show. How bad was it and what does it mean for the weeks to come? Courier Sport’s Alan Temple hosts alongside Dundee FC writer George Cran. Twa Teams, One Street is proud to be supported by SPAR Scotland.

What happened for Dundee United at Motherwell? Will the defeat be a watershed moment for Jim Goodwin and his team? Meanwhile, there’s a big match at Tynecastle to preview – how can Dundee shock table-topping Hearts? Plus a bit of chat about Mark Ogren and Joe Shaughnessy. George Cran and Graeme Finnan are in the studio as Alan Temple tunes in from his secret lair. Twa Teams, One Street is proud to be supported by SPAR Scotland.

The Twa Teams trio are back as George Cran returns from his break and there is plenty to get through. Dundee United’s victory over St Mirren was impressive in a new sort of way while Stephen Robinson was not happy with the referee at Tannadice. Dundee had victory in their hands but threw it away – what happened in that second half? What happened with Scott Bain? And why is Bear so angry?!

Mark Ogren is in town for the Dundee United AGM. From transfers, to tax, to turnover – we analyse what is likely to be on the mind of the U.S. businessman. We discuss how the Tangerines take heartening results and turn them into cold, hard, profit. On the pitch, the Terrors welcome St Mirren to Tannadice. Can Jim Goodwin mastermind a home win over stubborn opposition; an Achilles heel this term. Across the road, the afterglow of victory against Celtic is still present in the studio. However, Steven Pressley is setting standards and delivering a dose of reality ahead of a trip to Falkirk. We ask how the Dee build on the successes of last weekend and avoid an overreliance on the outstanding Cameron Congreve. By Pressley’s own admission, with Dundee fielding a less-than-100% fit Simon Murray, what does that say about the Dark Blues’ other strikers? And there’s an apology from a high-profile presenter… Dundee United correspondent Alan Temple is joined by ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan, with The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton in the hot seat.

We chew over a victory 37 years in the making after Dundee swept Celtic aside 2-0 at Dens Park. A coaching masterclass by Steven Pressley blunted the champions, while the Dark Blues carried a threat on the break all afternoon. There’s praise for the likes of Ethan Hamilton, Cameron Congreve and Drey Wright – and, for perhaps the first time on the pod, for VAR. Is this the springboard the Dee’s campaign needed? And Dundee were not the only side from the street to give a team from Glasgow a bloody nose, with United agonisingly close to claiming their first league win at Ibrox since April 2011. They played out a 2-2 draw. How did the Terrors recover from a dismal first half showing to claim a 2-1 lead? A magic moment from Kristijan Trapanovski, Craig Sibbald’s rocket and the impact of Nikolaj Moller are assessed. Yevhenii Kucherenko’s big saves and Julius Eskesen’s maiden start are spotlighted. Plus, we need to talk about Ivan Dolcek… Courier Sport reporter Alan Temple is joined by ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan. Twa Teams, One Street is proud to be supported by SPAR Scotland.

We’re chatting cash following the release of Dundee United’s annual accounts, with a near-£1m post-tax loss telling only half the story. Turnover of £10.5 million, record commercial revenues, healthy wage-to-turnover ratio and a £350,000 provision to HMRC over the disputed R&D Tax case are among the major talking points. Now, how do United take the next step towards bottom-line profitability? On the pitch, we chew over the upcoming trip to Ibrox. Will Rangers have renewed resolve following the sacking of Russell Martin? Or can United take advantage of remaining fragility? And the guys discuss what changes Jim Goodwin could make. Across the road, Dundee are seeking their first victory over Celtic at Dens Park since Tommy Coyne’s winner in 1988. Will Sunday be that day? What must improve if the Dark Blues are to stun Brendan Rodgers’ champions? There are certainly selection dilemmas for Steven Pressley – only exacerbated by a couple of injury doubts. And why a returning Cesar Garza SHOULD be a major boost for Dundee after shining against some global giants on U/20 World Cup duty. But will he get a chance?
