In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Hardly surprising from a guy who wrote two articles for brexit.
Why does this not surprise me 
Why anybody bothers to vote is beyond me. Bunch of lying cnuts.

Breaking news, politicians still lie and cant be trusted.
BoJo lying and making u-turns? Cannot be
Also exposes Woodwards lie in claiming he resigned because of Glazers wanting to join ESL.
I absolutely despise Ed Woodward.

Like I’ve said previously - last week’s Boris and this week’s Boris are very different things. Unlucky Ed
I don't believe this. The PR campaign from Woodward is so obvious and disgusting.
Why would Boris approve such a move , when the Country will lose a lot of taxes because of ESL

Boris is someone who is well known for going along with whatever the last person who spoke to him pitched.
Everyone was all for it, apart from the fans. Any of the suits claiming otherwise is a lying bastard.
They're all lovely people.
They are all lying scumbags and it is out there for everyone to see.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!Why does this not surprise me

A lying Tory - what a surprise.
Just as an aside - Boris is about to launch a World Cup hosting bid at which there will be an opportunity to show off many a British flag - wonder what UEFA could possibly have given him to change his mind.
Who's Jodi then??
Is this source legit?
I think he just echoed public sentiment. Realpolitik, I guess. Anything to appeal to the masses.
How is this PR from Woodward? His people are claiming he was unaware of the SL plans until the day before. This article claims the opposite.
Various government ministers have been on TV this morning saying these leaks are no good for the country. Get fecked with that, dont lie and there would be nothing to leak.
Who's more slimey Ed or Boris??
Woodward imho.
Woodward imho.
Boris was probably promised shares in a totally unrelated offshore untraceable company and it all looked very rosy.
However politics got in the way and it all went south.
Obviously this maybe some Woodward/Glazer spin but from my experience from the corporate and government world most naturally pursue self interest.
Boris is probably still seething with his Tory and labour chums in secret about Rashfords campaign. Dirty Cnuts.

This week just keeps getting better and better It wouldn’t surprise me by this time next week Martians land on Earth and ask to play in the Super League.

This is exactly why you get lying turds in power, because people like you don't care and think it doesn't matter. Just go and vote green or Monster Raving Loony or some other do gooder if you're disgusted with the integrity of the mainstream parties. Doing nothing lets the lying turd incumbent back in through inertia if nothing else. They all need to feel the fear to keep them in check.
He opposed it hours after the announcement got leaked - Gary Neville ranting wouldn’t have caused that. UEFA became aware on Thursday and lobbied the FA to intervene. Everyone had released their statements denouncing even before the clubs announced it and fans had a chance to say anything - it was impeccably coordinated. My favourite story in all of this is the ESL clubs were desperately trying to lobby govt. after the announcement but were unsuccessful...possibly the first time very rich people have been unable to contact Boris!
Nice to see Ed's PR team is in damage control
Even though it completely contradicts Ed’s previous PR teams story about knowing nothing...this hasn’t come from Ed ffs.
They'll steal the abilities of top players and it'll be up to Mbappe and a cartoon rabbit to stop them in a showdown football match.This week just keeps getting better and better
Then you don't know Boris Johnson
It’s always the ones you must expect Pt. 4202828901918101919191
This has nowt to do with Gaz Neville. Folk were up in arms when they heard the rumours. Neville's reaction was like most fans'...I don't know any fan who thought it was anything but a disgusting idea.
How does this help Ed in any way?
fecking Woodward will say anything to make himself look good. Even things that make him look bad.
My point is how would Boris know that enough to make a statement a few hours after a rumoured announcement? This is a battle between the top clubs and UEFA for who controls the money tree - whoever lobbies best with the biggest brown envelopes will win.
Um, there were a few in here.
Boris Karloff's back-tracking, devious nature was made patently clear during the pandemic.
Probably the only group of people less on the pulse of working class football fandom than billionaire American owners are fox-hunting, game-shooting, horse-fecking scum like Johnson, so this doesn't surprise me at all. He heard 'more money for rich people' and liked the sound of it, then he heard 'working class people we fooled into voting for us in 2019 no likey' and disowned the plan in public.
We should shout this from the rooftops. 'Red wall' voters don't seem to care when Johnson shows himself to be the very worst person and the least-qualified leader imaginable but if he's seen to be coming for their football maybe they'll think on in 2024.
