- Thread starter Scrumpet

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?
I can't separate Jedward's voices from the backups :/
Loved the jumping high five!It's quite possible the Irish song would have been quite good, if those two weren't so annoying and also crappy singers.
How off the wall do you have to be to come up with an outfit that is a cross of the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz and a power ranger?
no more off the wall than having these 2 feckwits singing for your country
So proud
This is always made better by the Danish commentator, who loves Eurovision Song Contest, he gets so happy and positive no matter what happens on the stage.
"Water is a good effect"

It has been said that the Irish put forward rubbish contestants deliberately so that there is no chance they'll have to host it.
You're far from their target audience. Two of their albums are double platinum in Ireland. Who are the feckwits then?
My Lovely Horse...
Children...but thet were made famous by the Brits, we weren't able to vote for them in xfactor.
Are you John or Edward Top? I know you're one of them.
That beats Humperdinck alright, when he sung I checked where his song was on the best selling singles on iTunes UK
No.59
I'm sure this song had the lyric "I roll in dog poo". May has misheard mind.
I think we have a good chance
They are. They're very marketable with the kids in the country but nobody takes them seriously. We send them to the Eurovision because the show has turned into a big pisstake and therefore they suit it down to the ground.
I hope they win, they're fecking awesome. Everything the Eurovision should be about: one big pisstake.
Are people forgetting that we sent a puppet one year.
Now I'm humming waterline. fecking brilliant.
I'm onto you Top, I'm onto you.
Jedward's gotta be fecking itself/eachother. My gay spanish flatmate just spent 3 minutes laughing at how gay they are. And he's a complete fairy.
I've never remembered this contest as anything else as something that people make fun off and some take very seriously.
Kids are mostly the voters everywhere right? I can't believe anyone in my age group at least voting for anything in this.
I just remembered, ramdomly, who we sent to 'represent' us last year.
Blue... ALL RISSSSE!!!...
We don't know the difference between being rubbish and being dull in this competition.

I blame Cameron, myself, TBGB.
How old are you then?
Eurovision was a highly regarded singing contest before they brought in public voting, that's when it turned into a pure pisstake and mockery.
I can't tell if she's white or black. Anyone?
Sweden by far the best tonight I think.
Now this is proper a Eurovision song.
Well, the first few seconds were enough to show that Moldova can't be very good. So to sum things up, I've forgotten most of the songs. I guess Spain was the best for me, which means they'll be lucky to make the top 20.
His third attempt to represent Moldova? Is there particularly fierce competition as to who should represent them or do they just give their spot to whichever college student has the most spare time?
I'm defo trying Moldova's dance tonight after a few pints in the local nightclub.
I was born in 1988. My first memory of this contest is when we sent one of our beloved singers, he wasn't at the time. A very openly gay man. His act was him lying on a fur couch that was on a bear rug whilst he and all the female dancers wore tight latex outfits. He obviously didn't get many votes but I think that's about the time the mocking start.
The Moldova singer has to be the lovechild of Colin Farrell and Littlefinger.
What excuse can we find this year for our impending battering in the voting, Cameron vetoing the EU treaty last December?
It does make me laugh how we sent the most awful act ten years ago which rightly got no points yet the performers were adamant we got no points because we took part in the Iraq War.
This looks like it was choreographed by a 4 year old having a tantrum.
I didn't see much of him but from what I saw he looked like Joey Barton.
Everyone took part in the Iraq war! That said, it's not so much "politics" as it is familiarity, there's a lot made of how neighbors have a tendency to vote for each other but that's because people are often familiar with the acts and there will be fans of said acts in the neighboring countries. The whole politics argument is utter shite.
Our Engelbert as his work cut out.
