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.

Can New Zealand eat into this middle order? I still expect Sri Lanka to do it
Come on Lanka, choke damnit, choke !
Nothing personal SL folks, I'd rather fancy us tonking NZ in the finals (if we get there). Choke, you !!

I'm not worried. Just giving our middle order some practice before the final...ingenious really. 
IF only NZ had batted well in the last 10 and gotten to 250.
just watched the fall of lankan wickets. that was a damn fine catch by ryder.
It will be fun for this game if SL choke abit more, but for the sake of a decent final, I hope they dont choke a la SA and lose the game!
Would hate it of NZ made the final as they would get murdered. SL will put up a good fight in the final and make it a tough (and so absorbing) game to watch.

who do you support in cricket sammy?
What's the atmosphere like in India guys for tomorrow's game? Must be Buzzing, everyone I know is excited about tomorrow. Going to be tough if India will lose because I have a lot of pakistani friends.
It's all they show in the news. Crazy excitement is my guess. And huge expectations.
I hope the cricket is focused and fiery from our side. I know we've invited their leaders and a that bollox but I want it to really feel like they're in our den.
Bangladesh, have a soft spot for India and England. Have admired Pakistan all my life but do not like them as a country so not 'a supporter'.
Right now, want India to win this world cup but would prefer a super tense game tomorrow and for the final too.
Yes, its complicated!
Super tense
No matter what happens now this last half hour tells me sl have big weaknesses.8 runs off the last 44 balls
Someone needs to tell them this isn't a test match, ffs get a move on!
I dont think there will be any doubt of that with all the Punjabi's high on Red Label!!!
But I think that will be India's greatest challenge. The adrenalin and pressure must be unreal. I would guess that it will be a new experience even for Tendulkar.
How India react to hame advantage I think will decide the game. Just like Pakistan bottled it in the final in 1999, basically gifting the final to Australia.
Our allegiances
As for Pakistan I cannot separate 1971 from the cricket team, I've tried to be objective, but it is impossible.
Fattys over will prove decisive.
It was never as close as the scoreline made it look prior to this big over. If NZ had gotten to that 240 mark, it would have been game on, but this was merely a flutter, not a real concern.
You asians and your confused identities. You don't know what you want!Super tense

Yes, its what I was saying before, lower middle order just has not been tested enough and they have a very long tail. Thats there Achilles heal, just like India's bowling or Pakistan's opening batsmen.
Each team has a fundamental flaw which is what has made this entire tournament so fascinating!
Wow, 185-5. Squeak Squeak
Could NZ still pull this off?

same for me. dont get me started, else I will get myself banned from this site!
250 would have been a very competitive total and NZ were well placed to reach it at one point. Shame though, kind of a dampener for a SF in a WC.
I just hope tommorow lives upto its billing.
NZ are the new England!
Was watching a bit of Star News last night, 45k capacity in mohali and only 14k given to fans? bit of trouble with police, and I thought we had it bad at Old Trafford.
So can Malinga bat anyone?!
Don't worry, the Pakistani lads on here are good folk, I have no intention of bringing that up. It really is tragic, and the way it has simply been glossed over.
We hear about Pol Pot, we hear about Rwanda, but Bangladesh simply ignored
@ Jay - as we speak 5 down, but as you say, 240-250 would have really made that untested and underperforming SL middle order shit their pants. But no point in working in ifs and buts...the reality is, NZ went from 192-4 to 217 all out.
That is inexcusable.
feck me, we're bottling this.
Is England the old SA ?
Not yet, ol' chap .. Samaraweera will guide you home. Just a hiccup this.
SL batsmen no 8,9,10 & 11 have made a cumulative score of 17 runs in this entire world cup. Mad!!!!
Fat feck is costing NZ the match.
Why the hell is Ryder bowling?
Where's this one going then?
why has ryder been given another over??
Squeaky bum time.
I sure hope so. If either him or Matthew's fall, we could be in big trouble.
Southee's two overs are going to decide this match now. If he can pick up two more.
Glory hunter.
Actually I went to the England vs Bangladesh game in Chittagong. I had 2 flags with me and cheered the entire game for everything. Was alot of fun.Jessie Ryder MoM for SL
