In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Next season 4 teams could quite possibly win the PL.
La Liga will be won by Barca or Real.
Ronaldo will last longer than Benitez at RM anyway, I'd give him a year tops.
Been hearing this for the last 5 seasons. Fool me once..
You what?
The same team has won the league for the past 5 seasons, have they? Only 1 team can win, that's obvious, but it doesn't mean others aren't in the running. Its a ridiculous assertion.
13/14 was the ONLY season where 3 teams could have realistically won it. All the other times have been a horse or a two horse race at best.
Just look at the odds at the beginning of the next season on Arse, City, Chelsea, United winning the PL, and then compare it to the La Liga odds of the 4 most likely teams to win that league.
He would be the perfect striker for us, but it's not going to happen..
we've had 3 separate winners in the last 3 years. and Arsenal are getting closer with signings like Ozil and Sanchez. not like RM and Barca sold those players to the 3rd or 4th best team in Spain.
I wonder how many teams have won la liga in recent years. Would be crazy if it were 3.
Nonsense. Check the odds, which are basically the right way to determinge this ; Atletico Madrid are 14-1 to win La Lig and Valencia and Sevilla have even worse odds. Arsenal and United are between 5-7 to win the Prem.
I'm too lazy to do the math, but off the top of my head, I'd have it like this:
Barca - 50%
Real Madrid - 40%
Atletico - 5%
Valencia + Sevilla - 4%
Everyone else - 1%
and the Prem would be more like:
Chelsea - 37%
Man City - 24%
Arsenal - 17%
Man United - 17%
Liverpool - 4%
Everyone else - 1%
Sounds like he just wants a wage increase tbh.
Though I wish it was different. Personally if we land ronaldo we are sorted for goals. He is perfect for us right now, we've upped our defence, everything is ticking in terms of possession but in the final third we lack quality. Imagine...
De Gea/Valdes
Shaw
Smalling
Rojo/Jones
Rafael (enter new RB here)
Carrick (enter new sensation here)
Herrera
Di Maria/Mata
Depay
Rooney
Ronaldo
Throwing Ronaldo in your squad bags you matchwinning goals. Hes far from past it.
Im dreaming, he aint coming back.

Didn't he get that last summer? Or am I mistaken?
Its not about him, but it would hinder any development from depay and januzaj unless they get converted.
He not going anywhere. It would be daft on the part of North Madrid and him to part ways. They've got the right player and he's at the right club.
£90m for PSG would be doable if they get rid of Cavani.
It depends if messi got one or not!
these 2 not only compete for goals and ballon d'ors, but also for $$$!Just need him to say "I stay" to confirm he's moving.
I think Januzaj will be loaned out next year to get games and as for Depay we just have to cross our fingers he adapts quickley
These rags are just putting the FSW making Bale the main man rumor and his public backing of Ancelotti together and making it up.
This isn't a contract negotiation, at least not about a payrise. He got a new contract last year, his first contract change since 2009.
If Barca win the treble, Perez needs scapegoats and money for new toys. If Ronaldo is restless and they can get a lot of money then he's a good candidate for a move.
Just to put this into context with what Real Madrid fans think. When Marca did a survey of Madrid members, asking for their marks out of ten for the players, Ronaldo was in top place with 8. Bale was bottom of the class with 5. Selling Ronaldo is a risky move for Perez, who does care about popularity. Making Ronaldo sound like a player looking for a move would reduce the risk, if PSG do come up with an offer.

Perez's popularity would surely plummet if he sells Ronaldo, on top of sacking Ancelotti as well. There are no other players who can come to Madrid and knock in nearly 60 goals - in fact, he would be hard pressed to find two players to knock in a total of 60.
Other than Messi and maybe Suarez, do you think anyone else would?
Ronaldo to leave this summer, and forgo the opportunity to break the goal-scoring record? Really?
Ronaldo has 300 goals in under 250 games for Madrid. Nobody is getting anywhere near him.
'Course I want him back.
It'd be a story, a sentimental story, sure – but who except cold hearted, or dull hearted, cnuts mind a good, sentimental story.
Plus, he's a half decent player. Good for a goal or two, I reckon.
So, yeah – sure. Buy him.
Have to get rid of someone, probably. But we probably need to anyway.
I'm all for this Ronaldo lark. Won't happen, of course. But if you're gonna engage in mindless muppetry, might as well go for the cream of the crop.

Crazy people. 145 to be exact
I don't get the appeal of playing for PSG in a feeder league.
I mean it's not bad, but excellent? Hell no.
I'd swap Di Maria for Ronaldo. Hell, I'd even throw in 20m. (not personally, of course.)
No, he has 313 goals in 300 games.
Does that include sub appearances? Maybe it doesn't matter, I took my info from here:
http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=35979
Yes. It doesn't really matter, as he's rarely had any sub appearances for Real Madrid.
I've never heard of Soccerbase. Whoscored, Squawka, etc. are more reliable. I got the stats from his Wikipedia page.
Still and all even at 300 games and 313 goals, he's untouchable. In the modern game, at the highest level to have scored more goals than games played is absolutely phenomenal. Don't think it will be matched for a while.
It's been done his rival so you never know. Like I've said before, at least in terms of goalscoring Neymar can hit a goal a game.
1 fecking season... its a two horse race and you know it
Neither do I but I can't see ronaldos ego letting him fade away in Spain becoming a shadow of his former self .
I think he's the type who likes being the main man and in the French league he could still dominate till his mid 30s and still get the money to go with it . (Beckham , ibra as a couple of examples ) although Beckhams salary was given to charity .
I'm not one of the members of the ronaldo "pining to come back" society as many are on the cafe as I think that ship as sailed . For all the good that he brings to a side (and there are many) there is also the side that stops good players blossoming . I'm sure Isco , bale and Rodriguez would all become much better players if they wasn't in ronaldos shadow as stupid as that sounds.
But it's almost impossible to dump a player that chips in with 50 plus goals a season .
