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.

Kasich rules out being Trump's VP, not unsurprisingly
You'd think Christie doesn't actually want to be put through that either, but I'm not sure who would. Rick Scott?

if Frank Underwood was real Id vote for him over "Clump"
I'm confused. First he sees he will get delegates from the west, and then convince superdelegates. Then he said that states that have supported him should give him supers like he has got pledged.
So is he going to be asking for all supers? Or for those in the states he won?
I wonder if the line of thinking is that if blue states tend to have a higher number of Representatives and Senators (and therefore superdelegates), a portioning out of superdelegates along the lines of vote shares in those states may benefit him a fair bit more than Clinton? Haven't seen the figures on that though so just a guess. But it's clear from what he says that it would be to overturn a pledged delegate deficit.
Doesn't matter either way. Clinton bested Obama in both California and New York, she ain't losing to him there. If you go into the convention behind in pledged delegates by a fair margin as well as a few millions popular votes, having lost FL, OH, VA, MA, NY, CA, NC, there's no argument whatsoever about your supposed greater electability.
I think he knows it himself and is just trying to stretch credulity to keep his voters in the process. Dialed down a bit on the 'speech script' already.
Yeah, just had a look and even if he took every single CA and NY superdelegate (interestingly, just found out Bill counts as NY rather than AR!) whilst divvying up the rest vaguely proportionally according to performance, he'd still be barely level on them. New Hampshire was a bit of a rubbish example on his part as well in the interview, it has 8 superdelegates, same number as Louisiana.
Trump astonishingly starting up again with Megyn Kelly...you'd think he has more important things to do.
Fox News has already fired back....

Yeah, I saw that earlier too, that was one of a few tweets about her today. All this is because she asked him one question about his attacks on women, using an actual quote from him. It's ridiculous to the extreme, especially when you consider he loved her until she asked that question and has said "many many" times how she's a tremendous journalist. Like I and many others have said, if you are nice about him or pander to his ego, he will love you in return, say anything bad about him and he will come back at you tenfold.
Did you hear he had a go at Samuel L Jackson this week as well? SLJ said he knows that Trump cheats at golf and told a story about when they played together and Trump responded by saying he didn't even know who SLJ was and had never even met him. Of course that prompted loads of tweets showing the pair of them together and of them playing golf together.
I'm convinced he wants to feck (or hate feck) her. That's the only logical explanation.
thats why I can't stand him
What I see about our next president: we will be involved in the Syria war and probably with Yemen, the economy will be controlled by marcelo's customers and the name of the president : Cruz or Hillary
Supposedly he's got Rudy G in his corner working on a "cabinet" of sorts. This will further fire up the nutjob base and possibly bring some of the establishment into his corner as it will appear he's willing to play ball.
You guys are history nerds and probably cock lickers. I will be the greatest president ever.

Donald Trump
Not surprising. The tea party fringe is littered with these types of loons, Cruz being possibly the most prominent.
Megyn Kelly is shit, she deserves to get roasted by Trump.
Yep. Daily Beast had a piece the other day about his dominionist background. He's been chosen by

The Donald demanded WSJ to apologize for publishing an editorial pointing out that Hillary received more primaries votes than he did thus far
This is his thing though, isn't it? He actually has a psychological problem. He obsessively goes after people like this, in a similar way to that story of the magazine editor who he sends photos of his hands all the time with comments like "Not so small, are they", 25 years on from the incident.

I love that. I'm surprised nobody picked him up on it when he was having a go at Rubio for it, because he said something along the lines of "I've never heard anyone say anything like that about my hands before, never" When it clearly came from somewhere, and obviously Rubio had just seen John Oliver's Trump/Drumpf takedown as everything he mentioned was in the show.
Surely that's an exaggeration?
Its pretty clear what happened. Trump has had a crush on Kelly for a long time, she even said that he would email her after interviews and flirt with her. Then she humiliates him on national TV by bringing up the misogyny issue and like all insecure narcissists, he attacked her.
The RNC desperately wants anyone but Trump, not because of electability, but because Trump will not cut the same deals with their masters. It is simply about money.
It would destroy the RNC if Trump got elected.
The DNC also desperately does not want Bernie because they too are owned.
Nothing to do with electability.

Obsessed much?
It's beyond a joke. Extremely Presidential behaviour though, instead of using Twitter to get people to vote for him or explain his policies and stuff he is stalking and harassing a fecking female journalist. The replies Megyn is getting because of this are horrific as well, death threats, and some truly vile insults. I am not her biggest fan by any means, she's not the worst on Fox, but she can be awful, but jeez she doesn't deserve this for asking him a question about something he said in the first place! It's relentless now.
He did this with a British female journo a while back, Selina Scott. Though obviously without the Twitter stuff. She interviewed him and didn't portray him brilliantly in it, which pissed him off, so he started sending her letters slagging her off (her looks and whatever), and then eventually just press clippings of his successes with messages scrawled in pen over them, "you're a loser!" and other such grown up shenanigans. This isn't an act, he's not just doing it to stay in the news, he's not going to become a fair-minded guy once he secures the nomination, he's just a childish misogynistic twat.
Yeah, I absolutely believe that, but it's a mental illness. The man is seriously sick. He really is.
But he can pivot to the center
As crazy as it sounds, he still has more chance of doing that than Ted fecking Cruz. Shows how fecked the GOP is.
But he can pivot to the center
He can say and do whatever the feck he wants can't he? He's a liberal to the Democrats and he's a Conservative to the Republicans and he's a racist, bigoted dictator to the Tea Party lot, he's a chameleon and can and will adapt to whatever or whoever he is with and what they want/need to hear. However it's all bullshit and he is clearly ill on so many different levels.
I do think he has some sort of narcissistic personality disorder.
