In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to celebrate rare back-to-back victories for Manchester United! They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.
You can just tell how much more knowledgeable he is about the game than basically all the other pundits. Very insightful. Also funny.
This game smells nil-nil

Wish I got some of this. I'm stuck with Richard Keys and Luis Garcia...
I still remember those last 2 minutes of there game from 2008... really one of the most astonishing endings to a game I've ever seen.
Turkey were incredible in that tournament.

Coric vs Mor. Should be brilliant stuff.It is Emre Mor who just signed for Dortmund from some Danish outfit. He is born in Denmark but chose to play for Turkey.
Edit: Croats, do you think we will get to see this guy dubbed the "Croatian Messi"?
Two new Messis in one match
I´m sure they are better than ex-Celta Vigo CB Dan Eggen
Luis García is a cool motherfecker.
I'm really looking forward to this game. I have a soft spot for Turkey, so sorry Croat Caffers, but I have to root for them in this game.
Both game have some great attacking talent, but defensively, both look like they're there for the taking. This should be an entertaining game for sure.

Some taught it was a good move
. Nevertheless, I would have loved to see him play today. I am also interested to see how Emre Mor plays if he comes in.Btw, teams ?
No doubt, but he has nothing interesting to say. Neither does Andy Cole for that matter.
Haven't ready seen his punditry work so fair enough. Agreed on Andy Cole, he's awful.

Stadium is loud, either that or the TV crew are just capturing the crowd noise better.
Come on Croatia!
Considering how much he's been sat on his arse this season, Arda should be fresh for this.
It could also be the natural harmonics of the stadium - it does look like it can hold sound well.
Anyone know about Yilmaz's injury? How many matches is he likely to miss?
Andy Townsend
C'mon Turkey!!!!!
C'mon Croatia!
C'mon Eileen!
That could've been a goal there for Rakitic. Great run from him, and he was so close to getting a goal there for Croatia. Great start.
Nice cross. Still amazes me that Srna has spent his entire career in the Ukrainian league.
Just what I thought.Andy Townsend
Naughty.
The worst ITV have, I reckon. Just about beats Glen Hoddle.Andy Townsend
really did lol thereWow, hows that not a booking
Rooting for Croatia here. Modric and Rakitic are a delight to watch imo.
Are there are any Turkish speakers over here? Does "tufan" mean "storm" in Turkish, or am I wrong?
To be so small, Croatia puts out a high number of good footballers.
Agree - Modric is the anti-Pepe, you just have to like him. Even if he plays against your team he´s a joy to watch
Such a straight forward yellow card. This isn't much of a Turkey side and they foul to make up for it. Needs to be clamped down on early.
Same,got them at 25/1.
I think Bilic laid the foundations and did some great work with that team.
Poor free kick from Calhanoglu there.
Croatia seem to be having a great time out wide against Turkey. They need to target the wide areas more to get a foothold of the game IMO.

I don't think he's too bad.
