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.

It's all those small boats coming over from Norway.
England is always gonna go conservative, even when conservatives loses.
Is anybody surprised that brexit-people are still voting in big numbers?

Christ they have that tax-dodging snake on too. It's a gallery of rogues.
How does anyone, anyone vote for Rees-Mogg? Jesus, you'd want to be such a wanker 
Blyth Exit poll had lib dems at 7% and the result has them nowhere.
I'm all for throwing her into a pit.
Though she be lazily written into the sequel of this nightmare
Why did he walk away from that plane crash, absolute shitstain.
That Reform guy, Dr of medicine or philosophy? Both are scary options considering he's a racist.
Social climbers who want someone who has posh name and has a posh voice.How does anyone, anyone vote for Rees-Mogg? Jesus, you'd want to be such a wanker
Supposedly JRM has said that the reform vote means Boris should come back to lead.
Dr of phrenology, I bet.
It is staggering how the Brexit crowd have been so easily hoodwinked, by the same clowns so quickly. Are we statistically one of the thickest countries in the world? I always mock America's education system, but nights like this are quite humbling.
Channel 4 know exactly what they're doing by having mad nads on, I think it's hilarious.

It's arguably him or Farage next...
Rees Mogg always reminds me of a disturbing Gerald Scarfe caricature.
To what extent can one blame the current Labour leadership for going down the center-right path, if the population at large, particulary in England, is just conservative?
They tried running somebody on the left a few years ago, and got demolished.

oh no, now you've gone and done it. That weirdo will come in with his binders of tweets about how Starmer is shit and Jezza is the messiah
Brexit was more of a con to be fair. Reform has got these votes based of the Tories failing (repeatedly) to solve Reform issues. Labour is unlikely to resolve them either.
We might disagree how important or valid those issues are but it doesn't make them less applicable to Reforms voters.
Have to win the argument or fix the issues. Labour can't do the latter so they'll need to do the former rather than hide.
Look at Nick Robinson in his element, giddy on wine. Looks like he’s splashed aftershave on and discovered PUA books. Off putting.
Alistair Campbell has no time for the Boris goblin.
18% of the leave seats tory vote has gone straight to Reform. fecking bonkers.
I'd love to see David TC Davies get fecked off out of there. He's a massive cnut
As much as you can criticise him, that was great. Just shut her right up. Loved that.

More or less than he has got for government scientists that make him look bad being alive?
Oh legit, I actually really like him, I like plain talkers. She really got shut up.
Didn't vote but enjoying the exit polls. Hopefully the result is as damning.
There's two answers for this
There was a 40% vote for a solid left-wing manifesto and campaign in 2017- that potential is still there. If you transplant it into today's results, it's a substantially bigger landslide.
But would Corbyn, or anyone else sincerely campaigning on that platform, win this time, especially with these numbers? I don't think so, for several reasons.
The Tory downfall initially started in May 2020 when the press broke the lockdown-breaching stories. These stories eventually led to Boris' departure, and then to PM Truss, which left permanent hole in the party, which Sunak only slightly patched up. The role of the press in the Labour polling lead is massive. And I'm 100% absolutely confident that these stories would not have been front-page news if it was a left-wing Labour leader as the alternative. It's the status quo option that gave the press the space to have their fun with the Tories.
Second, based on vote share, Tory+Reform should be over 40%, while Labour are under it. In 2019, Farage stood down his candidates tactically to help the Tories. The Lib Dems did not. I believe Farage - with his class background - would do it again this time, if the alternative was a left-wing leader. So with a unified right, that 40% left Labour vote (the best case) still gets a tiny majority or hung parliament, not much more.
Protest vote. True tories never going to vote Labour but they want to send a message that they are unhappy with the debacle under May/Johnson/Truss/Sunak. Reform offer a convenient vehicle for that without bolstering a direct rival who might actually win seats.
C4 soap opera!
Campbell vs. Dorries - they're both awful
I'm torn by finding Nadine hilarious and thinking she's just ruining the show.
Serious eye candy though. Yes I said it.
