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.

And there's a decent chance Cruz may press Trump in MO. If Trump loses both OH and MO, it could get interesting as he could wind up just short.
On the Dem side, Illinois is looking more and more like Michigan, but Florida and NC like Texas and Virginia. Hillary definitely has something of a mid-western problem, though not to the extent of Sanders' southern one.
I thought this is a forum in which all can participate?
Either way American politics do affect the rest of the world and I lived in America for quite a few years before moving to Canada.
Not sure if you are bring disrespectful by discounting my opinion as "prancing about" but if that's how you wish to conduct yourself.... Feel free.
Cruz is within striking distance in IL.
No one said you can't participate, nor can't others who think its fecking weird that you're talking about the Bernie/Hillary thing like you're an American who can actually vote for either of them.
Yeah he's within 7 or thereabouts. Any place where he's less than 10 behind Trump is in play imo. It would be a massive win for the anti-Trump brigade if he only wins FL and NC.
Plastic voters eh! Doesn't happen in footy luckily.....
I have a lot of family who live in America who do vote and having lived there for awhile I feel alot of sentiment to the country as well.
All because I don't currently live in America doesn't mean I cannot care about what goes on there.
Anyways, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
There's no voting in footy fortunately.
Plastics...lots of 'em.
If the US, its people and its establishment, hadn't internalised and acted on their belief in American exceptionalism so much, perhaps these elections would have been less interesting to outsiders.
You're right about that.
tbf there are a number Hillary fans here who cannot vote either. no worries.
Just realized IL and NC are proportional, so Trump won't be racking up delegates there irrespective of the results. MO is even more critical now. If Cruz can nick it and Kasich takes OH, it will limit Trump's winner take all states to just FL.
I still don't understand why some states have so much polling and some don't. Missouri has only had 3 polls since August.
Any chance we have another poll out before Tuesday in OH and IL? After Michigan and with the margin being so close I'd imagine pollsters wouldn't want egg on their faces again.
I agree. They keep saying caucus states are impossible to poll. I can't see why.
Yeah its a bit baffling given the importance of the states on the 15th. I do get the impression that a lot of voters are going to break Cruz's way in IL and MO because Rubio's star has faded to the point where voters will question whether their votes are being wasted on someone who will likely bow out of the race in a few days, which will imo benefit Cruz in places like MO and IL. That could easily swing things in his favor against Trump.
Let's face facts here, Trump will win most states with the exception of say OH
This thread should've been moved to the Entertainment Forum a long time ago.
Reports of the crossover have been greatly exaggerated.
Not a great poem.
But funny. Liberal righteous self-deception in a nutshell.
Except, of course, with Liberals, it's other people who get bitten!
She's Claire Underwood.
The only reason to vote her in general is because by doing that you decrease the chances of a total evil nutter becoming president. The least of two evils.
I can vote in the US and I agree with you. Her reputation is shot IMO.
I only started watching this a few months ago, and it does make you think is this the sort of stuff that's happening in the background? Also, in my head I reference stuff as it happens to plotlines in the show. Who's the Jackie Sharpe in the Republican nominees at the moment etc..
Jackie Sharpe is the whip (or assistant whip?) in congress on the show I believe. She's a Democrat.

Can't wait for Tuesday. If Sanders wins a few primaries, it will change the narrative in the race.
Ah a talking snake you say, chances are Republican's see this poem as scientific evidence.

GOP has no control at all with the candidates, if Kasich calls quits then other than Trump may win in Ohio but I have no idea what's on their mind, Kasich's done.
You need to watch a bit further
Oh yes she does run for President on the Democratic ticket. Forgot about that.
always thought this was Carrie Underwood. I had to look up Claire Underwood. was wondering why Carrie was so evil. She was just a singer. mind you I mix her up with Taylor Swift who is an awful singer.
Agreed, it's a poor line of attack. Sinks the attackers down to his level (even if Oliver's segment was brilliant).
Just seen this
Love Bernie.
Love Bernie.
I also feel like this is a significant likelihood between now and November.
