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.
Unforced errors in the thousands for Fedo at the end.
I'm surprised not to see double faults. The wind playing havoc with the ball
Break back!
Feck Roger breaks
That was unexpected
That was unexpectedAwful game and Fed breaks back.
These conditions 
Some really wild shots from Roger.
But immediately afterwards, some very beautiful ones.

Both men are struggling to serve on the windy side.
If Federer had 1% chance today it's even less with that wind.. Should suit Nadal more.
The wind is crazy, both players struggling.
Not true at all. Rafa wins this 90/100 in normal conditions, now there is no pattern at all to points
Federer's shots require much more precision. Both aren't suited to the conditions, but when they do wind will cause more trouble for him on clay than vice versa.
Oh no after doing so well Roger's ;last shot was just
Good rallies even with wind or not. Even though the final shots are a bit weird.
Yeah. These two are just super talented though. Still entertaining us even with the shit wind
Rafa breaks again
The wind broke Fed as much as Nadal there
Both men struggling on that side.
I wonder what Thiem and Djokovic will be thinking. Do they want a long match from these two which probably mean they won’t finish their match today or a short game which will mean Djokovic/ Thiem can finish their game today but their opponents will be refreshed.

Federer's first serves are huge even when serving into the wind. Saved him on multiple break points.
Federer really has a good chance here imo. These conditions make Rafa far less formiddale on clay than he is.

Wow what a shot by Nadal.
Wow what a shot from Nadal and Fed didn't play too badly there as well.
That's the first set done for Federer already.
Still Nadal has the advantage even if he can't quite settle into a rhythm. Roger's shots require better conditions especially as he hits so close to the lines.
Not yet Rafa has to serve on the harder side.
Nadal is playing far poorer from the near side than Federer is. His shots aren't even making the net.
Wow what another shot from Nadal.
Nadal takes the first
Bloody hell what a shot to win the set. Amazing from Rafa
Eurosport's audio is tiny bit of second ahead of video. Annoying hearing them before seeing the point.
Good first set. Much closer than it appears from thr scoreline. But Federer needed to win the first to have any chance.
That was a solid last point for Nadal. Good set really given the conditions.
This wind is going to last the entire day. Such a pity that.
Fecking hell what a lob that was. Poor Rogie
Well at least he managed to hold on to his serve. Let's see if he can break Nadal.
Federer holds from that side for the first time. That was huge.
No one is winning RG until Nadal retires or doesn't play due to injuries .
