In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Ashwin @AR87 are here to discuss two "on-paper" not great results for United over the last week, but are there positive signs of progress despite what the ex-United pundits are saying?
They also preview the big game Europa League game against Lyon.
Legend
He's the best one
Yah, he's got the best character for sure.
And there's no Jet.
Probably for the best, that woman sparked certain awakenings in the teenage me that I don't necessarily want resurfacing while I'm sat with my 8 year old son.
Ha ha ha she was the best. I'm sure she was responsible for the sexual awakenings of millions.
Watching the last episode, Betti is such an annoying contender. So much potential and so strong but just doesn't seem as keyed in mentally
Was the same in the heats
Was the same in the heats
She's a cheat too.
The games are so obviously stacked against one specific competitor each episode. It's infuriating.
How? The duel thing where she just refused to hit? She got penalised, but I wouldn't call her a cheat for that.
Enjoyed her battle with Bronte - those 2 always felt like the 2 strongest female competitors. I actually think they're both stronger than a lot of the gladiators
It's annoying isn't it? You have a duel against Giant, and your opponent is against that joker Viper; or you have Nitro chasing after you for the climb and your opponent has ... wait for it ... Viper (what a waste of space that joker is on the show)
It's been great.
Enjoyed watching it. There's some really good Gladiators and some pretty mediocre ones that I imagine will be axed for Season 2/3.
Most of the male Gladiators are very good with the obvious exception in Viper who's been disappointing.
Thought it was interesting seeing how Sabre finally cottoned on that grabbing the opponents shoe in the Wall is a pretty bad strategy. Need to climb up them and get on to their harness.
They'll be better in Season 2 having had experience.

Betti essentially cheated against Fury and Sabre. (Did you not see her holding fury’s head down ??)
She also cheated against Tallulah by shaking the net in the eliminator during their heat.
That, plus holding fury's head to the ground, plus kicking dynamite in the face.
Incidentally ... Didn't work out for her (even if I thought she and Betti were overall the best female contenders). The gladiators brought it and she had a few slip ups. Marie Louise though with that strength sapping worm each time was still great on the Eliminator - didn't take a breath before the Travelator, just ran straight through it - well done to her.She's fecking great.
Be surprised if she doesn't win.
Finlay did great - brilliant advert for the military on recent game shows (they can be treacherous and they can actually hussle - who knew!)
It was a really good final. Brontë will always be my true champion.
On the challenge with the swinging gladiators trying to knock contenders off a bridge, no idea why there's the weird rule that you have to keep moving considering there's a time limit anyway
Back last night, gonna be introducing new gladiators and events this season.
I find it hilarious that these guys have to wear their Spandex outfits for all their promotional appearances. Including Sunday Brunch.
Bit shit they didn't change-up the final gauntlet. Also drives me mad there's no timer.
I notice there's no chatter about season 2 on here.
Well, Mus got suckered by Legend there, didn't he? Almost certain he would have got 10 points if he just played the game as usual.
Legend, to his credit, is such a great character.

I watched Legend's season 2 prep, he goes to a climbing centre and at the time he had the fastest time so it's no surprised he destroyed Mus.
Yes he is - his social media stuff is also a good watch as well.
Only just caught the final. That was a 15 pt swing on the wall v if he has played the game as normal. He'd have been champ based on how tight the eliminator was!
Shame we didn't get to see Zavia v Amanda in the final for the women. Always felt she would have too much for Aneila.
Yeah Zavia's injury was such a shame. Aneila, credit to her, got better as things progressed, but the fact she often progressed as fastest runner up, rather than an outright winner tells it's own story. She is fast though!
