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.
Why only 3 minutes ? Foden's injury took more no ?
Did the commentators get this upset about Atletico’s antics when they did it against us? I don’t recall it
Had no idea Savic played for City. Well...
Is this half ever gonna finish?

The ref isn’t falling for their shithousery tonight
Everyone just wants it to end
Injury time is absolutely baffling in football, logic doesn't apply to it. Almost as if Michael Masi invented it.
It just amazes me how Simeone manages to stay so excited on the touchline while his side plays such shite football.
Don't think I've seen an Atletico game that hasn't bored me to sleep since that CL final in 2014.
No, They were all praise of AM
Difference in speed and intensity is stark. Was the same with chelsea yesterday. Spanish football has really fallen behind
I’m falling asleep. Both matches are very boring.
They're ruining the beautiful game here. There was feck all to ruin when they played us.
Other way round. He was part exchanged for Nastasic from Fiorentina, I think it was.
Not sure why you're all upset, I'm here specifically for the shitehousing. It's amazing when it's happening to someone else
There was also Jovetic, wasn't he at Fiorentina?
How have Atletico been? Close to scoring at all?
Only 45 minutes to score a goal is stretching it a bit thin if they're playing defensive. Surprised Correa or Carrasco don't get more minutes, both are good creators.

Neville.
1 small chance all half. Not even on target.
Athletico to get 2 goals second halve and benfica to get 2 goals second halve. Not much to ask for is it… haha
Atletico doing much better than I thought they would.
And Keane.
No. I think the game plan is to do this until about 80 minutes, then throw everything forward
Why am I watching the Atletico game over the Liverpool one, I'll never know...what a bore.
They're hoping the 0-0 will get them penalties the gimps. Not sure they realise they're 1-0 down from the first leg.
El Cholo should at least try to sacrifice something in defense and midfield.
With or without intensity Joao Félix is 50 meters from the goal.
Maybe move to 442 and try Carrasco or Correa, or de Paul instead of Koke/Kondogbia
Neville " Manchester United is all about playing on the front foot, attacking football and fundamentally entertaining the Old Trafford crowd.
I want Simeone as our next manager "
O.03 Xg so far for atletico. It was 0 all last week. Diego’s gung ho approach paying dividends.
Infinitely more threatening
Dippers are through already so I have been watching the other game and I just cannot believe anyone can have the gall to serve up such utterly dull, boring, non football as this. Atletico have not been much good either.
Wonder what the odds are for Atletico to finish with 11 players on the pitch
Eh I don't agree.
Atleti isn't being forced into playing without the ball like Real was, they're more than happy to do so and honestly could've scored early on.
Likewise I think Chelsea was the hardest matchup possible for RM and I dont think City is as physically dominant as they are, especially their forwards, they're nowhere near Havertz/Werner as far as harrassing players/pressing
That being said City isn't creating enough counterattack opportunities so it's really hard to see them score, not sure Suarez could be of any help either given how little of the ball they get
Joao Felix is often offside with his runs
This game just makes me even sader than I already am , how we didn't beat these lot is a travesty.
Somebody finally get in there and clobber foden? Shame it wasn't in his irritating smug face.
They've not been allowed to bring their own ref against city.
