I forgot beating other teams besides the one you're competing with is the best barometer for who is better.

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.

It isn't, or we'd be below you, Swansea and Tottenham.
He'd be my ideal keeper.
Smalling, Rojo, Jones & Shaw are all young defenders. Depending on what defenders we bring in, we could have quite an inexperienced defence. Cech would help with that.
That's assuming we decide Valdes isn't the answer, which I'm not sure is the case.

There's not much between us and arsenal. They have the edge in terms of stability and their managers ways obviously being truly engrained while we have the bigger spending power. Could go both ways next season.
Not very often Arsenal fans can say that.
I'm genuinely not convinced, our high defensive line will be a problem for him, he is a very good goalkeepers though.
First half of the season we just didn't get going so we should be a "down and up" Arsenal side. Also I'm seeing these "if not for" posts way too much these days. I thought that doesn't mean anything. If not for Valencia's back pass, if not for a wonky own goal, etc etc. Results are all that matter, so let's stick to that shall we? Played 3, won 1 lost 1 and drew 1. That's what counts.
Cech may sign for us but I'm not convinced that he's the keeper we should be getting.
Fixed your typos
Oh, Petr Cech is magic
He wears a stupid hat
And when he saw The emirates
He said "Feck that ! I fancy going to Old trafford instead, Being sain in the head and all that.
No its not. Its called 'keeper errors' not 'defensive errors'. This season our defense made the second highest number of errors in the league yet we conceded the fewest from them. Why? Because of De Gea.

I am not sure that this is correct, because when you look at our defenders and their mistakes the numbers don't go over 10, or at least when you look at CB's. It must be including the whole team.
Also, I do not remember de Gea saving 26 times after big mistakes it just didn't happen. It would be interesting to see what they mean by all these numbers, what is a defensive mistake, how did we sort it out, when did it happen (because I do think that a lot of these mistakes happen in not so many games because we had some games where we made a lot of mistakes, but if you look at the whole season, our defending improved a lot actually).
Oh im sure DDG wasn't just the only one preventing goals. Luck will have played a part too and ofcourse a lot of defensive errors don't actually lead to goals. Im sure by defensive errors they weren't just talking about defenders either. If Rooney makes a mistake inside our own box then it has to go down as a defensive error surely.
Btw since that image was taken we've moved down to third. Here's the link if you want to check it out.

I want Leno.
I get it and thx for the link
.But what I don't get with these things is they say that Jones made ZERO mistakes, but the goal against West Hem (1:1) was clearly his mistake, so how to hell do they count?
Btw. is there a way to see how it progressed with the numbers, as it should have slowed down a lot in the second half of the season?
No idea mate. Don't think they keep a graph like that.I get it and thx for the link

Would be a quality signing. Easily good enough, well used to the league and no chance of him fecking off to Spain in a few years either.
I'd be shocked if Chelsea let him come to United.
Would they want him to go to Arsenal either though? At least Mourinho actually gets on with LVG, plus they did sell us Mata just last year....
Well if David is indeed leaving then I'd be happy with such replacement, always rated Cech and got a bit of a soft spot for him after that horrible accident.
well, if it implied that Mourinho thought United were less of a threat than Arsenal then it wouldn't be a compliment! United certainly were not a threat when we bought Mata.
Chelsea letting Cech come to us isn't improving our team. Its a lateral move for us. Its not like they are selling us Hazard. Cech is a world class keeper who will be replacing a world class keeper. Cech coming to United isn't going to make a bit of difference to Chelsea. They'd have been dumb to sell to Arsenal, though.
If Cech wants to stay in England Chelsea would love him to come to United.
Hard to get too excited about Cech though when there's still a chance with DDG.
I wouldn't be shocked at all....they let Mata go, why not Cech?
As much as I like DDG, Cech is a damn good replacement.
The goalkeeping department is the only department we can't improve on. On the flip side, Cech to arsenal would be a definite improvement. I'm sure mourinho's first choice would be to get Cech overseas. However, if that's not possible, it's much better for Cech to join United than Arsenal from Chelsea's perspective.
I still don't fancy Cech if De Gea leaves, I know he isn't particularly old for a Keeper but getting rid of a 24 year old keeper for a 33 year old is a bit meh
I would prefer we went for Leno or Oblak

It would be improving our team though. As the alternative would be a team without DDG or Cech. The comparison shouldn't be from de Gea to Cech. It should be Valdes to Cech, or whatever keeper we bring in to Cech.
Well, it could be a case of Cech wanting to stay in England.
If Chelsea are to chose between us and Arsenal, then it'll partially be a case of who'll pay the most and who can benefit most from personal relationships with Chelsea.
The main thing for me in this is, i've always thought that Marina Granovskaia and/or Michael Emenalo was in charge of transfer dealing, which makes it seem a little strange as to why Mourinho would be there, especially the day before a game.
Didn't he signed for Arsenal?
What makes you so sure,we could have a stinker of a transfer window.At the moment Arsenal are more of a threat to Chelsea than us.
Are the rumours true? Was Woody in a picture with his agent and Maureen?
The picture you mention clearly shows Mourinho and Woodward meeting, but Petr Cech's agency said it wasn't Viktor Kolar (his agent).
Certainly looks like Jose.
So Woody has met Mourinho, but for who?
It's delusional is what it is. We have shown absolutely nothing to suggest we are going to be ahead of Arsenal next season, they are have finished ahead of us 2 years on the bounce(Once though unthinkable), they play better football than us and are likely to retain the FA Cup.
We will win any battle against Arsenal no matter where they finish. It's like Valencia finishing 2nd and Real Madrid finishing 4th and Cech picking Valencia because they finished above them.
Doubt it. Delusional is thinking otherwise.
If only I knew. I'm not sure what Mourinho has to do with transfers anyways, don't Chelsea have someone else doing that for them? Could be completely coincidental but I don't believe that.
Anyways here's the tweet if you haven't seen it. Make of it what you want, although like I said the agency of Viktor Kolar have denied it's him in the picture alongside Woodward and Mourinho.
