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.

She lobbied heavily against ULEZ when Sadiq Khan first ruled it out. Maybe she wanted to court IDS voters, but very dumb move nonetheless.
Corbyn wins comfortably.
And cnuts were pretending it was a Labour vote all along 
Her "ego trip" was the result of her being deselected for dubious reasons despite being selected as the candidate ages ago, being one of few Labour candidates who did well in 2019 and being popular with local constituents. It was a completely unnecessary decision by Labour and losing an eminently winnable seat is their reward.
Amazing by Corbyn
Dominion voting machines at it again.
No loss really. Corbyn will mostly vote with Labour and will get picked off next time.
Thrilled!
If Labour failed to beat an overwhelmingly unpopular MP and lost votes to an independent then that's on them. Again, this one was a dead cert for them till they decided they wanted to do a last minute purge.
21k+ cnuts voted Farage in.
The only losers are the constituents and Shaheen. Tatler will get a good job.
Jonathan Ashworth loses his seat to the independent.
Labour have lost TWO Leicester seats.
Labour have lost TWO Leicester seats.
The loopy green girl looks even more delighted for Corbyn than Corbyn.
Corbyn holding on to Islington is the best story of the night for me so far. Happy for him. More so that the Labour candidate came across as a right swarmy prick.
feck Clacton
Farage wins.
Glad Corbyn won his seat.
The John Parrot looking cnut will be working for his pals at Guido by Monday.
There it is, Frottage finally wins his seat.
It’s all I waited up for. I can call it a night now a very happy man.
I go to Woodford Green a lot and the people loved her, such a shame
Clacton is an odd place.
Hopefully it falls into the sea
Kemi seems to have won
Farage sounds a lot like Dobba and SweetSquare when talking about Labour
How long before Farage's first expenses scandal?
She should have put her ego aside and got rid of IDS. She had zero chance of winning she didn't have the platform the incumbency or the popularity of Jeremy Corbyn.
Kemi seems to have won
Big few minutes for the hate mongers. Will Suella win her seat next?
Lib Dems getting a lot of gains in last half hour.
Dare to dream time?
Dare to dream time?
Is that chap on the right asleep?
Sky saying her constituency had serious problems with postal votes and could be challengedKemi seems to have won
This.
Whatever the rights and wrongs with Labour's decision in that seat, once the decision was made then her standing was always going split the vote and open the door to this - for the sake of the greater good she shouldn't have stood.
Neither did the Labour candidate evidently. Who's to say Faiza's voters wouldn't have voted third party or another candidate in the absence of her standing? The votes went to her clearly because they felt outraged at the treatment she was subjected to. This is all on Labour. They need to do better next time.
Meh, it was obviously a dumb decision to try and gazump her.
Luke Akehurst won the North Durham seat he was gifted, the cnut.
Great Yarmouth goes Reform
The smart play would have been to do a deal and campaign hard for the Labour candidate and play the long game. She isn't smart enough to strategise and be a good politician.
She was already running when Labour parachuted a replacement in to replace her. I think in that position she’d feel hard done by and that the electorate still deserved a chance to vote her in, particularly as the polling had her winning comfortably. She had run in that constituency before as well. A symptom of FPTP rather than Faiza herself, she wouldn’t have a chance to be a Labour MP again so it was her only chance to represent her constituents.
