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.

Deary me. And I thought this might be the World Cup that they finally rid themselves of that "chokers" tag.
It's been a great World Cup so far, really rekindled my interest in the longer form of limited overs cricket.

lol saw it a few pages back on this thread whilst reading through the reaction to the game - Joey Mac, I think it was.
Raees, who are you supporting mate ?

What a turn up for the books lol.. typical saffers.
They should hire a team of sports psychologists and take them along to every ICC event.
Can't wait for Wednesday it will be immense. Hopefully Akhtar to have one final hurrah and take Pakistan into the finals.

Funny you should ask that, got a India v Pakistan University football match the day before the semi final, controversially - I've been training with the Indian team all year so will feature for them. Haroon if you're going in on Tuesday mate, its at 4!
As for the cricket, massive england fan but for the Indo-Pak semi I'll go for Pakistan and will be proud of them as long as they try 100%, thats the only reason why stopped supporting them.. can't forgive them for 1999 or trust them since.
Thank God the cl is only the week after.
Imagine India pakistan followed by Chelsea United...
That would be cracking actually. No sleep for me but still cracking.
If we lose on Wed then I hope India win the world cup. I can't stand the c(word) Sangakara, though I have no beef with other players or fans. Just that idiot. If England make it then I still hope India win as Tendulkar deserves it.
If New Zealand somehow get there, then that'll be a tough call. I might just have to go with the underdog NZ to cap a very good world cup all round.

if india dont win the world cup, i would of wanted south africa. Did not expect them to lose today, once the wickets started to fall it look like they just froze, really feel for them, they are such a quality side thats the most weird thing.
Its all about Wednesday now though for and india or pakistan fan, but the most concerned thing that am worried about is potential trouble, i hope the indian fans respect the pakistan players and no matter what the result is there is no troubles or riots. Let Cricket be the winner

What do you dislike about Sangakkara?
You must be one of the wierd ones who overreacts in matchday threads. I can't imagine why you'd think that one of the fes genuinely great bowlers in cricket today is crap.
He is over-rated. Ashwin is better and I think once India move to one spinner on tracks outside of India, Ashwin should be picked before Bhaji.
Anyways, I obviously hope Pakistan to win. And if not Pakistan, then I want Pakistan to win. Ok, only kidding, but anyone but India. :P
Pavilion Stand. I had twenty tickets. Each cost me Rs. 5000, sold 10 of them at Rs. 100,000 each.
I don't like him, either. He talks too much and doesn't back it up. Very good cricketer, but a lot of things he says in press conferences sound annoying
Harbhajan, one of the genuinely great bowlers in the world today? You're having a laugh, man. There are few genuinely great bowlers today, Harbhajan isn't one of them. 6 wickets in 7 matches at an average of 49 in the World Cup, half of those matches against the likes of Ireland, Netherlands, Bangladesh, Windies..
He's been bowling absolute filth for the past 12 months.

wtf?
How did you get so many tickets?
I think he means 10,000... the touting cnut
Only a 5k premium? I know someone who bought India Windies tickets at a premium of 3500. Four tickets, actually. Dumb girl.

Dumb ass. I just wish he would stop shaking hands and hugging people just because he agrees with them and also stop interrupting. This has been going on for years now. It is really embarrassing for people to watch and I think he makes the other pundits really uncomfortable and irritated. I mean doesn't anyone (family, colleagues) tell him to improve his mannerisms.How did the Lankans do under Tom Moody?
Sidhu is going to be insufferable on Wednesday.
England have won the toss and have decided to bat first.
I don't think I m not going to watch the pre-match show on Wednesday or I ll make sure I find the Sky Sports one with Gower, Nick Knight, Agarkar and Vaughan.
Good toss to win for Eng, I would have given them zero chance of winning batting second on that pitch.
Sri Lanka are gambling a little by having three spinners. If they don't bowl well and let England get around 260-270, they might struggle.
Dunno about that. They bat deep. Wright at 7. Bresnan can chip in as well.
Ganguly reckons by winning the toss, it's going to be a India vs England final. I agree with him.

Dang Sri Lanka have a freaking long anthem. England was on only for like 30 seconds and Sri Lanka was on for more than 2 minutes.
-Kyle Mills has been fined 120% of his match fees for the altercation after the run out yesterday.
-Daniel Vettori 50% of his
-Faf Du Plessis also 50%.
I think fining Faf is a bit unfair, 3-4 Kiwi players got stuck into him, surely he has to be able to defend himself?
I understand why the Kiwis did it...put even more pressure on the brittle psyche on the Saffers, but it was ugly.

Lot of people underestimate Pakistan. Many pundits think it is going to be an easy win for India. I disagree. India might have the play their best cricket this tournament on Wednesday.
I actually haven't heard anyone underestimate them. The general consensus seems to be that whoever plays better on the day will in and probably the one that handles the pressure better.
How Malinga has generate that much speed and accuracy with that action, I will never know!
Many of them think India will make the final.
Well it's not really wrong for many to think that is it given we're in the semi final? Besides you how these rivalries are. Sometimes you just want to portray confidence despite shitting it inside. United fans rarely think we're going to lose before a game against Liverpool.
