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.

I wouldn't want Farage having Parliamentary Privilege.
Not unless they all become resident here... not sure if there is a qualifying period
Do the gammons know this? I'm actually sort of surprised scum like Farage aren't onto it.
I'm quietly dreading that this is exactly what's going to happen, except the public is going to like what they have to say.
"Oh dear! My trousers have fallen down! And now my pants have fallen down too! Rachel! Would you mind helping me pull them back up!"
"Oh no! I've fallen down to my knees! In front of the King, no less!"
"Bumbly bumbly my silken garments have plummeted bumbly bumbly frightfully terrible bumbly kingly king."
"Before we begin, dear viewers, we need to talk about immigration..."

Be right back, @Sweet Square and I have a questionable movie to write. It'll be called Keir Fecks Everything In Sight.
No, surely Paul, nothing can be that bad, you have been telling us for ages, Brexit is the abyss the end of the world (trading world that is!), now you are saying there is something worse than the abyss it's called FREE PORT !
There's always something worse; How far can down can they scrape the barrel.
Because you have no idea how bad this will be. Starmer has no idea either. Thought he would cancel this but no. His message to Rishi as he takes over will be, "Don't worry, Rishi, I'll keep my finger firmly on the self-destruct button until the Tories return in five years time!
are you in need of any seed funding?
He will be seeking it everyday I suspect (when he turns up).
TV Political news editors etc. rubbing their hands with delight no doubt, they will on first every night that Farage is on his feet in the commons (especially from GB News).
Reform are almost certain to win two seats (Farage and Lee Anderson) some polls have them winning up to 18.
Lib Dems are expected to do a lot better too and could win up to 80 seats.
Take another look in that crystal ball of yours Paul, better still send it to Starmer as a present.*(Will you be staying up for the results tonight? (or are they not of sufficient interest to the French News channels)?
Fecking Lee Anderson’s still got a platform?! Jesus Christ.
You have to be a qualifying commonwealth citizen, that's a someone from a British Crown dependency or British overseas territory who has leave to enter or remain in the UK, or who doesn't require that leave.
Being from a commonwealth country doesn't give you the right to vote in the UK.
So I have a bit of the ITK. Well he's definitely ITK but he dare not tell me anything of grave importance. He did say though that people, including rishi, thinks there's a good chance he's lost his seat. Hunt too.
Penny mourdant was on the list but they think there's a good chance she'll be safe now. Also thinks she's the next Tory leader.
And one of the big names stepping down is scared something about them is about to come out, is the reason they're stepping down.

Just discovered you can use an out of date passport so long as the photo is recognisable
Is your ITK a guy from the Jamaican delegation?
How the feck can you be “ITK” about an election that has 6 hours to run?
Mordaunt and Hunt will lose their seats according to the MRP polls Labour have a 70% chance of winning Portsmouth North and the Lib Dems have a 82% chance of winning Farnham, Sunak is unlikely to lose his but you can always hope!
I think you're allowed to use any out of date form of valid ID as long as you look the same.

It's not a question of a crystal ball, I wish he'd take that course I mentioned before. Maybe I could send him a book as a present. "The Idiot's guide to international trade."
The world can see what's going on in the UK at any time of day but no I won't stay up. We all knew the result months ago, just a question of the numbers of seats.
A lot of voter intention data is known to candidates and staff from pre-election canvassing so I'm not surprised that there is some panic where the numbers aren't looking good. They must have recorded a lot of constituents telling them how much they fecking hate the tories.
For one, take a look at @Grinner post
For two, he's very high up at one of the biggest news companies in the UK. He's literally in the know
MRP has Reform on 18 seats.
Sorry but the only political semi-ITK on this forum is me
Unless he's a time traveller or can read the minds and intentions of 50 million people, he knows as much as the rest of us. We only have polling data to go by, until 10pm everything is an educated guess at best.For one, take a look at @Grinner post

Am I reading it correctly that JRM is projected to lose his seat? I'll wank myself silly if that actually transpired. Would probably dehydrate myself if Suella, Patel and Gove are also toppled.
It will be an educated guess but there are clearly people with access to much more data than us when making their guesses.

There’s no secret polling data that is somehow higher quality or more accurate than the various ones from the big opinion data companies like YouGov and Survation that are published on a daily basis.
Campaigners visiting constituents is anecdotal and nothing more.
Of course they do, it’s their job to claim otherwise and every election every single one of them are proven wrong to a degree.
Granted there are those much smarter than us using complex quantitative models with some degree of real time data, but at their very core they're still (very) educated guesses. It's a little mad to call yourself ITK regarding an active ongoing election. Exit polls are pretty much the closest thing we get to surefire projections.
Seeing as there's lots of rumours in the public doman on Gove, is that in regards to Redwood who also chickened out of fighting his seat?
Luckily local liberal lecturers label Labour landslide looking likely.
Well not until Stalinmer gets in!
I like what my local reform candidate has to say, especially the stuff about lizard people and the rothchilds
Which one are you looking at? MRP is a type of polling rather than a polling company, I was looking at electoral calculus, they predict 7 for Reform, which is still 7 too many.
You have access to the internet now in your own cell or do you have to move when big Dave wants to go and watch the dirty prison guard riding her cells?
I can't help wonder how many potential reform voters will switch back to the tories at the last minute given the mask slip moments for reform in recent days. It wouldn't take a huge percentage for the tories to end up with a lot more seats than predicted.
Still, hoping for some big tory scalps tonight!
