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.

Brees has fractured ribs on both sides of his chest and a collapsed lung, fecking hell.
Jesus, did he get sacked by a truck?
Jesus. It's nerve racking watching them play especially if you have them on your fantasy team. I had Barkley and we all know how that ended. I have Connor too and he just runs into the defenders. I pray the most on Sundays
Apparently he said to Payton “something’s not feeling quite right” after the hit. You’d think!Don’t wanna be doom & gloom but if that’s a long recovery it might’ve been the final play of his career. Hopefully he’ll be back soon though.
Apparently 3 ribs were fractured against the Bucs the week before!
The 49ers player was flagged on the hit - well after the actual sack when the ref saw Brees writhing in pain, threw a flag. Bullshit call. Was as legit a sack as possible for a defensive player.
Don’t wanna be doom & gloom but if that’s a long recovery it might’ve been the final play of his career. Hopefully he’ll be back soon though.
bloody hell the guy is tough!You’re not wrong mate, hopefully he’ll make a good recovery.
It’s just a lung, we all got two of them (says my inner redneck).
just use your other one you pussy! Crazy how the Seahawks are now 3rd in their table, they looked unbeatable earlier on in the season.
They were winning very close games though due to Russ playing outta his head. Razor thin margins and that’s with him playing at an MVP level.
I like this:
The Bears offense is so dull. It’s too bad that side of the ball is so bad - it’s a waste of a truly excellent defensive unit.
What a boring game. Neither team’s offense looks capable of scoring.
What are you talking about, Chicago has a solid 3 yards offence in the second half so far
Gronk at the end is brilliant
Agreed - Seahawks defence was one of the worst in the league but with russ playing beyond MVP level they were winning. But a savvy analyst could see that it wasn’t sustainable because of how weak their D was.
Gronk is a madman, bloody hilarious mindJust watched the game in 40. Completely agree. Hard hit? Sure, but absolutely not illegal.
Also seriously Lamar is amazing and all that but he really is bottling big games and big moments (not sure you’d call a game vs us right now a big game though ). Said it before but somehow Lamar always comes up short / has his worst games in the most import match ups. Is this fair or am I being influenced by a bias somewhere?
). Said it before but somehow Lamar always comes up short / has his worst games in the most import match ups. Is this fair or am I being influenced by a bias somewhere?It was a pleasant game to watch after the dross we’ve been subject to for the last few weeks!
How in the feck also did the Texans think it was a good idea to trade Nuk? IMO one of the best if not the best in the game right now. And not just because of the Hail Mary reception, he made a couple of other big plays when it mattered. He does it every week.
Absolute bullshit call. Nothing wrong with the hit at all other than the player it was on.
Probably a longer answer than you wanted, but it’s a good opportunity to plug one of my favorite YouTubers (that particular trade is about 8min in):
It was a perfectly legitimate hit. Terrible call and robbed us of a lot of momentum in a game where we couldn’t afford any at all.
That said I hope Brees can make it back. A great player and I’d hate to see an injury end his career like that
The Giants being second in their division and the Seahawks being third in theirs Sounds so odd.
Among Vikings fans the running joke is that Zmmer would suggest to rub some dirt on it.
I concur, it was a soft call. Shame Brees got injured on the play but I didnt really see much wrong with the hit.
I can't imagine Winston getting us through the upcoming stretch 5-0 or anywhere close to it the way Bridgewater did last season.
Yeah. I don't think his passing is all that great really. He should improve as time goes on of course but right now I think he's a pretty average thrower.Also seriously Lamar is amazing and all that but he really is bottling big games and big moments (not sure you’d call a game vs us right now a big game though
Soul Brother Kevin said Brees has to capitalize on this rib injury by retiring and opening a chain of Drew Brees Ribs in the Naw'leans area.
I think he made huge improvements last year to his passing game.
For me it really isn’t a question of ability but rather execution during the important games.
Fun stat of the day: Cordarrelle Patterson has more kick return yards than the whole Bears offense has rushing yards
Kollmann just posted a video about the Seahawks defense.
Just to put a nice bow on last weekend..
