In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
This is a team that lost 9 wickets for 29 runs, this is far from over.
Too tense, thank God football only lasts for 90 min.

Don't even think it !
Pakistan are on a high. I reckon they'll beat us if we win this.
I stopped thinking 3 hours back.
Yeah, I like Lee. One of the nicer guys in the game it seems.
Fire up Bretty! Looking all fecking grizzled and shit. Like Terry Butcher!
We won't lose to Pak if we win this.
Lets win this, powerplay going to be squeaky bum time. But we should have this covered. C'mon lads !
Yuvi half century off 54 balls.
Still if?
Very good innings from Yuvraj.
A high takes you only so far. We've done better than anyone expect us to do anyway.
After this over, the singles are going to be hard to come by because of the fielding restrictions.
I'd be weary once you use the power play. You don't want to be having to hit.
First over of powerplay is crucial.
Agreed. I think Pakistan have been playing a hell lot more than the sum of their parts.
Still a game to win. Still jittery.
thank feck Pathan's not playing today and it's Raina
Still 'if' Sults. Stranger things have happened. And this is India's tail that we are talking about.
Edit - And the reverse jinx seems to be working well so far.
I have my opinions on your team in terms of ability but given these conditions and the spark you have in the field I think we'll find it hard to match that. On the other hand I don't rate your batting, so if we can bat first and get a big score you'll struggle.
Anyways, this is FAR from over.
Come on guys, keep your heads.
Six !!
Super shot.
Hehe
6 !!
India vs Pakistan semifinal 
Biggest match in sport.

For all the people who were questioning Raina over Pathan, you have your answer. He's a proper batsman who can attack when needed rather than a slogger. What a masterstroke it looks like.
Spark on the field... they are worst fielding side in the tournament.
They are well capable of beating us but our batting line up is best equipped to handle their attack. Basically best batting line up in the tournament vs the best bowling attack. (SA still the best overall team and easily the favorites to win this now).
Dunno about support but by far the biggest one in cricket. You can stick your Ashes up your wrong one!India vs Pakistan semifinal
Biggest match in sport.
feck if for that six, it would have been an amazing over.
You know what I mean - buzz, good spinners, Umar Gul etc.
I agree with the lines in bold completely but maybe not 'easily'.
Yeap. Pathan is not a proper batsmen. He is a lottery basically.
Well they wouldn't have been content with dot balls if the six wasn't hit
Even if we don't win well done Sachin, Gambhir and Yuvraj.
Cruise control.
Game over !
India winning this at a canter now.
India are definitely better in the batting department. However, whoever holds their nerve the best best will win the game.
Well done to our batting line up. It's absolutely magical. And they all did it under pressure.
(minus the mini spaz attack)

Son of a bitch, they are close to winning. This game reminds me of the Natwest Series final against England a few years back. We were down and out that game as and we found a way to win. Yuvi and Kaif then, Yuvi and Raina now. Yuvi involved both times.
Anyway its about time somebody else won this shit. 4 on the trot would be over kill.
Start breathing easily
Squeaky bum time next game.
