In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Left footed players are always one-footed and try their absolute best to never use their right foot at all costs, even if their right foot is actually decent.
Peterborough and Blackburn score in every match
Despite captaining his team in two Champions League finals, nobody actually knows anything about Gabi.
It's like he suddenly decided to become a really good CM at the age of 30.
To be fair it's the same for right footed players too.
Given the level and the money available at the top of the game the number of truly two footed players that I can remember is abysmally low.
Bald players are always good headers of the ball.
The ball bounces better off the skull when there isn’t a 3 inch layer of gelled hair in between.
I have no memory whatsoever of Jose Antonío Reyes at Real Madrid...

It’s easier to remember the champions league winners who won it during even numbered years
Think he scored a title deciding goal for them didnt he?
Watching Emerson, Ravanelli and Juninho play for Boro at the Cellnet stadium. Must have been a dream.
When watching a replay of an offside decision, commentators will always sit on the fence, even if it's really obvious what the call should've been.
*footage shows striker has both legs past the line "oooh it's tight"

This is usually because they have naively given their verdict before seeing it again.
Eddie Howe looks more like a cricketer.
Arsenal are funny
Alan Smith did it with Walcott about 5 minutes ago and that was the first time he'd seen it.
Every time a club loses an important player due to a transfer, they lose the next match.
French/African player surnames always pop out at the same time. They come in bunches. Like, there was a time where everyone was a Sissoko. Then, it was Diarra's turn. Every league had one in an important team. This time its Bailly. United and Barça have one, they came to surface at the same time.. And these in fashion names never coexist. Like, is there a relevant Sissoko right now? I wonder the next name will be.
there are a fair few Mendy's about at the moment
Does Dembele count?
Tottenham score 4 goals everything match whether home or away usually a kane hatrick/brace and then son/eriksen scoring the other goals
Liverpool and Southapmton are same teams.
Derby County are always near the top of the Championship, yet never get promoted.
Petr Cech has always played for Arsenal and has always been rubbish.
The Netherlands' job goes to Dutch managers who failed at their last job.
Platini was Italian
Mouriho gets shorter every time he changes clubs.
Dutch players who just have Van as a name are Strikers (Van Persie, Van Basten, Van Nistelrooy, Van Hooijdonk, Van Wolfwinkel) but if it’s Van der then they are not Strikers (Van der Sar, Van der Vaart, Van der Wiel)
I was watching football greatest today it was about Del Piero, and Marcello Lippi basically said the same thing about him and Juve
The only time a player posts his own feelings or message on Twitter or Instagram themselves they get ridiculed (odd rare player actually posts anything personal).
Usually just a generic image from the likes of Getty with the same hashtag the rest of the team uses.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was English.
Dick Advocaat and Gus Hiddink are the same person.
At one point during the early 00's, Zola was a player-manager at Chelsea.

Nearly every footballer in Serie A whose names sound Italian are actually from Argentina.
One of Cardiff City, Millwall or Derby County play every Friday night on television.
Leeds kick off at 12 every Saturday.
And Dembele's
I came to post somehting similar after checking Roma's line-up
Zanetti was Italian, that one I know.
