In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
On their way to a loss hopefully.
Wtf is Vicario doing
That's a penalty isn't it? VAR didn't check it or how?
Surely a red for Vicario.
Brentford just got screwed over, and collected two yellows in the process.
That's shocking by both the ref and VAR for not calling that.
VAR utterly useless. How they didn't even check that?
What the hell. He handled it twice outside the box. 
did Var even check that Vicario handball?
Absolutely hate when players are booked for dissent when the referees are being morons.
It's not a red though. That's why they didn't VAR it. It's nonsense but that's what they're gonna say
I genuinely thought Ajer's yellow would've been rescinded after the ref checked with Var
It's John Brooks. There's nothing shocking about his failure.
Disagree with that. The relevance of results 12 months ago is minimal. If a team ends the season strongly, it’s far more likely that they will also reap the benefits at the start of the next season. That’s especially the case when the team is (largely) the same as last season, with the benefit of most of the players who were new last season now having bedded in.
Of course, Maresca is still doing a good job as he still has to fit together a very large squad. My only point was that he isn’t taking over a team that was in chaos before though - it was a team performing very well by the end of the season.
Nunez is hilarious to watch As if he hits that straight at the defenders face on the line with the rest of the net open
As if he hits that straight at the defenders face on the line with the rest of the net openThe commentator here said something about the Vicario situation - he said that it matters where he has his feet, if those are inside the area he can handle the ball outside the area but not the other way around. Surely that can't be the rule? I think only the final touch was outside the box, and maybe VAR didn't deem that enough to warrant a red? Still confused as I thought that any handball by the keeper outside the box would be red.
How can a team managed by Sean Dyche be that shit at defending a corner?
1-1 in the Everton game.
This is it.
The inevitable collapse.
This is it.
The inevitable collapse.
Chiesa looks lively
Everton are gonna Everton.
Have Liverpool really only conceded the one goal this season so far?
Have Liverpool really only conceded the one goal this season so far?
It's where the ball is, not the keeper. Keeper's body could be outside the area but his hands on the ball in the area and that'd be fine. The reverse would mean keepers could stretch out of the box and grab the ball.
Maddison scores for Spurs 3-1.
3-1 Spurs and that goal really sums up the difference between good and bad players. The Brentford player had an hour on the ball and an easy pass to his left. Just took forever and lost it and Spurs runs down the other end and scores.
Yeah, that is what I would expect.
Dyche really doesn't help himself at times.
Look at their opponents.
Fulham put game to bed. 3-1. Nelson.
Reece Nelson wraps it up for Fulham. Really enjoyed this game.
Newcastle have been absolute shit all season so far. About time a result actually reflected that.
They were insanely lucky against Wolves last week.
Yep.
Villa take the lead late in game. Ipswich equalise late. Morsy. 1-1.
Not a great day for us so far. Liverpool, villa, spurs and chelsea all winning/won.
Shit day for us. Every competitor wins.
Two if you include the Milan game. We should’ve conceded a goal today. Fell asleep second half.
Newcastle lost at least
Damn, didn’t know they were this bad. As things stand, have 5/6 of the results right. Newcastle fecked my bet
What a goal from Morsy.
Christ 13 mins of added time at Villa Park.
Just because keepers can handle it inside the area doesn't mean they're held to a different standard to everyone else outside of the box. It's only a red if they're denying a clear goal scoring opportunity.
