Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.

they both sound so much more next gen than the PS4 and xbone did.Ya, can’t wait. The games will come for both, PS5 obviously a shorter wait. But it’s a great step for both
I have not been listening to GB lately. Was that Jeff Bakalar with the impressions?
I might as well ask in this thread, but is there anyone else in the whole world who does not notice HDR? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Everyone keeps banging on about it and I don't notice it.
Have you definitely got it turned on while on the hdmi channel? My mate didn't realise when he turns over on to hdmi1 and turns his Xbox on, the tv has seperate settings
Yeah have you definitely got it turned on?
It’s definitely noticeable, personally think it’s more of an enhancement for something to be HDR than 4K over 1080.
Yes. I've just come to accept it's my eyesight. I notice a mild difference but that's all it is. Nothing worth the fuss people make over it.
@Damien come back. I want you to be happy
Been a bit of a hectic day for me tbh. Not looked through the console threads
I’m not always the best at spotting things like that too. But play a game with good HDR like Spider-Man if you have it, then go to your tv menu and switch HDR on and off and you will certainly notice a difference. I have a Sony Bravia about 2-3 years old so not overly modern and it’s still very impressive
As I said, I notice a mild difference. Which is why I'm baffled when people bang on about it!
Depends on TV.
And have you actually turned it on? What port is your console on? Is it HDMI 1?
Best to put on a 4k HDR wildlife programme like Attenborough that's where you can really see it.
Oh yeah! Sir David’s shows in 4K are incredible!
They do, but unless I'm mistaken the power of the console will not affect HDR.
Have you got your eyes tested?
I remember not thinking much of SD to HD, then messing one night I threw on my now wife’s glasses, that’s the bombshell dropped that the clarity was unreal. Needed glasses for tv and night driving, was -1.05 in each eye and didn’t even realize it!

Jesus SD to HD is like night and day must of been bad
ya man! Couldn’t believe it. It was just stuff really close at the time. Cinema screen and stuff like that at the time was fine, sitting close to a TV not so much!
I knew there was an improvement to HD, but the glasses just enchanted the clarity and impressed me more thereafter
It does when your console was the worst console in terms of performance and resolution last gen. Not surprised you think games look like garbage.
Get off COD and be a bit more cultured on Tuesday. Of course you gonna think every game is garbage when you only playing a game that’s based off a engine that’s nearly as old as you.
Like I said earlier, HDR uses HDMI 2 and 3, so what port number is your console connected to?
So do I and the HDR is still easily noticeable to me!
You didn’t buy the one x?
Disappointed. Anyway I’m interested to know what game you playing first on Tuesday.
It's connected right. On my tv, it's called Deep colour or something. It even flashes HDR in the corner when you load up a game or movie.
And how do you know how old I am?!
A better word for me to use when describing HDR would be overrated. It makes a marginal difference. And when I hear other people talking about it, it makes me feel like my eyes don't work.

Nope. One S and base PS4.
That's why this leap is going to be huge to me. Series X is definitely iterative and particularly over One X, but the difference to One S should hopefully be striking.
Ori first because it's the quicker to transfer. But early games are going to be Ori, Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5.
Halo MCC (after patch), Gears Tactics, Halo 5 and Fallen Order in the background perhaps. Hoping to convince a few to get one Sea of Thieves with me but not convinced it'll get much time.
FIFA, Rocket, COD I'll still be jumping on when certain mates are online. Tony Hawk's when I need something mindless.
Will be looking at Destiny 2 and Cyberpunk in December.
How about you?
I'm getting the new COD. All other games will be shit.
Oh, I expect that to be shite too. But it's a tradition to buy it every year.the irony
You know if people stopped buying it they might decide to actually improve it considerably
Well, tbf, I actually like most of them. But after playing the beta for this one, I have big doubts.You know if people stopped buying it they might decide to actually improve it considerably
Not sure if it’s incredibly sad or what, but as a 40 year old I’m really quite excited about next 2 weeks. 2 new shiny boxes under my TV.
I’m getting one of my kids a ps5 too
Pray for my credit card

Any consolation my 65 year old dad is more excited then me for his console he's booked the day off work!
Ah that’s lovely
In 25 years I will be like that too probably
I was considering taking days off for them as I have holidays to use up, but I don’t trust couriers to deliver to me on release day. Haven’t got my shipping confirmation yet for my Xbox from GameStop.
Dam, some oldies getting excited for the consoles and I can't find any excitement.
