In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
feck the performances, I just find the voting interesting. Ireland better give us 12 points.

We never do, it's fantastic. All your tweens vote for Jedward while we give you about 5 points.

The way everybody votes is why Eurovision is a farce nobody really takes it seriously.
Wogan had the best idea just take the piss but even he got fed up with the obvious rigging of the votes
Apparently the Dinck is first up, this should help get you in the mood
It is probably the one programme where Jeremy Clarkson could get away with being his usual self without controversy.
Even if it was a "photo" of Engelbert Humperdinck urinating on an Iraqi prisoner?
If that were a story the focus would hardly be on Eurovision would it, would it?...
It would be the Daily Mail who would say the shame of our Eurovision entry doing that should be enough reason for us to leave the competition and no doubt the European Union with it.

No, you do actually.
Couple of years ago, you gave us 12 and we didn't give you any, or a low amount at least. I felt embarrassed as I was watching with someone Irish at the time.
Humperdinck was embarrassing on This Morning. Combination of poor vocals and dreadful song. Obviously a winner.
Auf geht's, Roman Lob!
And so it begins.
Wow, a time lapse of the construction of the venue - epic stuff.
Shite from engelbert
was that really the best this country could come up with and 76 year old that most people have never heard off , mine you it could be worst we could of had Jedward
It was pleasant yet forgettable, especially as it was first.
When is jedward?
WTF is this !!!
It seems to have become the norm to throw any sort of criticism at our acts the past few years, but that really was the epitome of average. The performance has probably been forgotten already. Yet people will still cry about cahoots and the like when we score poorly.
That comment reminds me of when I choose Matt Monro when playing 20 Questions, Humperdinck was one of our biggest solo singers of the sixties into the seventies - it is more a reflection of people not knowing enough rather than him being no one.
I agree, I know who he is and must admit I do like some of his stuff.
It's time. Team Jedward ASSEMBLE!!
It is crazy as Eastern Europe has a reputation for liking American and British music that is dated and is well behind current tastes in our own countries, it might turn out to be a rather shrewd move.
He is certainly larger than anyone else in this competition across more than a couple of countries at least.
I predict that England will not win.
That goes without saying, we are rubbish in Eurovision but not so rubbish that we are good, just standard rubbish.
Wtf is this shit?
The crowd is lapping this up.

If Russia don't win there's something seriously wrong with the voting system.
That was quite good. They have my vote
Have I missed Jedward?
Have I missed Jedward?
Michael Carrick's representing Iceland.
Lads, we now know why Michael Carrick is not in the England squad - he is singing for Iceland.
Damn you.
The Russian grannies were just fabulous
They get my vote.
They get my vote.
Uncanny.
Nice to know it's not just me, though.
feck off. Russian girls are hot.
Nah, we're near the end
They'd have got rapidly hotter if Custis LeMay sent the B52s in.
No you haven't. Switch it back off and we'll let you know when it's safe.
Did Perry Cox write the Cyprus entry?
Those particular babes from tonight may well have benefited from a bit of rapid radiation poisoning tbf.
Since when is Liv Tyler Cypriot?
