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.
Lopetegui is clueless, still in September and they’ve already reverted back to hoofing to Antonio
So Liverpool avoid a penalty claim somehow and then break to score!
How many million times does it have to happen?

Then west ham red card too 
All this talk of too many games and so many big hitters just casually playing in third round League Cup matches.
Think that Gomez one could've been given as handball.
I mean we made 8 changes from the weekend. The three who kept their spots (Kelleher, Tsimikas and Nunez) probably won't start against Wolves on Saturday (assuming Alisson is fit).
Get a corner you bastards.
I mean, I'm only really talking Salah for Liverpool and more Saka and Rice starting for Arsenal, and Gabriel and Havertz coming on at either 3 or 4-1.... legit why
That goal
Never a 5-1 game but that's how it's going for West Ham at the moment.

Lewis-Skelly picked up an injury so Gabriel came on for him, and basically Rice got an hour and the replacement for him in that position on the bench was either Havertz or Partey.

Saka played only first half vs City, Arteta was on point with rotation today.
Guess that's what happens when squad players are trying to make a case for themselves in front of the manager. Though you'd ease off after the red, but evidently the players had other ideas.
Gakpo was determined to score at least one. Ended up with two. We weren't great first half tbf.
What time is the draw?
Starts in a couple of minutes.

Urgh Leicester though could be worse

Good draw. Tough games for our rivals.
Leicester. Could be worse.
Thanks. Managed to time it perfectly to avoid hearing Redknapp and Nolan give their opinions on anything.

After yet another shit result tonight, that draw is at least a positive note to end on.
Winnable home game for us, and tougher away games for the likes of City and Liverpool. And Spurs / City, Newcastle / Chelsea means two threats will get knocked out.

Another tough draw. Definitely not an easy tie.
Brighton away is a tough draw, yeah.
You say 'another' tough draw - are you counting West Ham at home as one? No problem if you are, but that's the kind of draw we keep regularly getting and all most other sets of fans seem to do is go on about us being 'lucky' to be drawn at home. But, as you say, getting PL West Ham when you could get lower league opposition isn't 'lucky' just because you happen to be at home - except when it happens to us, it seems!

Were we pre-determined a home game? If not, ETH is lucky once again
Some decent looking games in that draw.
I really just mean another PL side. We seem to get drawn in all PL tie's a lot in early domestic cup rounds. I'm sure there are stats about this. I think United do as well, whereas Chelsea and City seem to mostly get lower league sides if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, we do often end up drawing Premier League sides in cups, a lot more often than City and Chelsea. We’ll probably struggle against Leicester.
Yeah, that's true.
We definitely get plenty of PL draws - but all that's mentioned is that we're often at home to them - as if drawing a PL side at home is 'luckier than lower league / NL teams away!
And, yeah, you too seem to draw more PL sides in earlier rounds than the likes of City and Chelsea.
Definitely the case in the FA Cup but in Carabao chances are your 2nd fixture is going to be a PL team. Lack of upsets this year with Ipswich being the only PL side beaten by a team lower in the pyramid. 13 out of 16 teams left are PL teams (presumably). The unlucky part of the draws now really is losing the coin flip and getting an away tie.
Meant to quote @Klopper76 but too much hassle to fix it on the phone.
That's the 8th time in a row we've been drawn at home in this competition! Last away tie was at Everton in December 2020.
