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.
I was laughing a few minutes before at the lady cox being heard saying "I'm looking at Thorpe, he's fecking struggling"

Going to be a strange race now. Place your bets.
I reckon they should hold the boat race in the Nile, just to make it a little bit more exhilarating. Random crocodiles and piranhas are far more exciting than a mere swimmer.
That swimmer is a fecking idiot, protestor or not, could well have died or been quite grotesquely injured.
Broken oar. This whole thing has been a farce.
What a horribly messed up race.
I would argue that the inherently superior team won.
One of the Oxford rowers has collapsed, looked like he was unconscious as they lifted him out.
He's apparently fine now although there were shades of Muamba for a second there.
Don't know about 'fine'. Just been stretchered into an ambulance and on the way to hospital.
Odd race. Feel sorry for all of them really, all those months of preparation essentially ruined by one bloke. Now Cambridge have to mute their celebrations and Oxford will probably feel aggrieved as the break probably worked against them slightly more.
Bit catastrophic wasn't it?
