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.
You should get promoted pretty easily tbh as Blackburn.
Forest remain top of Division 1, 4 weeks in a row now, top 2 for 8 weeks. Bolton have probably been most impressive, being 19th at Week 6, 10 games later only 1 point behind 1st on Week 16. Darlington are performing a glorious fall from grace after impressive early season form.
I'm up against City next, so my run at the top I think will come to an end. First I have a cup game against Reading.
I managed to briefly see the new transfermarkt before the thing went down on Bad gateway error again.
zomg, it works!
Annoying thing is now, for the full stats there's no easy way to see the date of each game. It says the days but not the month.
Bad gateway for me 
Bad gateway for me
Yeah, it's gone back down for me too.
That was a good 30 seconds though that I managed to use the site for. Unsuccessful launch is unsuccessful.
You're 1 point off the top of the table while my side is in the bottom half
I'm preparing the worlds smallest violin for Damo Moyes and his awful squad of stars.
United sign Horta
Manchester United is delighted to announce the signing of Portuguese winger Ricardo Horta on a two-season contract.
The 19 year old has played over 2,000 minutes for Vitoria Setubal this season and has been linked with moves to top Portuguese clubs.
"He is clearly a talented player," said Damien, "he has scored 6 goals in his last 13 games which is fantastic for someone just breaking through. He'll be a star. There's no doubt about that."
Horta's stats since last reviewed:
977 minutes out of a possible 1080 (90.5%)
5 goals
Setubal ended the Portuguese season 7th in the league.
Horta will wear the #77 shirt, which coincidentally is the number of players Arsenal have signed over the last season or so.

Do many of venture on to the Forum when looking for some decent young players.
Nah, less fun
Most of the young players i have bought were random and i really cant be arsed to do what redsky does with the graphs and all.
I only do that for the players I own
Forums are cheating for me, it doesnt take long to do a bit of research. Its more satifying that way.

My heart bleeds Damo Nope. I only go on forum to see what they think one of my players will do in terms of rising.
Andre Gomes has strangely gone up 2 to 86 despite hardly playing for Benfica's first team (though he did play fairly often in Europa League).
Lost to a stronger scousepool in the cup.
Same scenario.
Lost to a stronger Reading (he deserved it). Can't grumble at all, hope I get my revenge in the European tie.
Won valiantly on penalties against Ipswich. Away to Wolves in the next round.
Through to the 1/4 finals after winning on penalties against Spurs. Nice. I think it's time for my big guns to take over. Only two clubs left have stronger teams.
Through to the quarters aswell, after beating Accrington Stanley. 3-0 after my tactic slightly changing in the 60th minute. Don't remember putting the tactic in.
Also, for anyone in league 1 or 2, I have 2 players I want to sell. Check out my list by lowest rating and they're at the top.
Sebastian Stolze the 19 year old Wolfsburg striker has agreed to join Nottingham Forest.
Wolfsburg Manager, Dieter Hecking recently said:
Wolfsburg Sporting Director, Klaus Allofs also added:
Hoping he'll get a few appearances next season.

I've also managed to sign David Kinsombi from Eintracht Frankfurt. He was the captain of the Mainz U19 team last season but Frankfurt poached him this summer and signed him on a free. He's a proper gamble as Frankfurt have plenty of LB choices, although i'm expecting Jung to leave this summer (mainly used at RB, but can play LB) and Oczipka is one that might also go (who's an actual LB).
I didnt even see those bids go in on Kinsombi and Stolze ffs, only says "the bid for X is accepted..." feckers SM!
Same, though I didn't get "the bid for X is accepted..." and have neither of them shortlisted. Weird.
Perin +1 to 88. feck yeah!
They better be kind and give Scuffet another raise to 83 at least.
I haven't gotten a raise in weeks. I thought I'd get a few that are on 87 or lower etc.
Instead, I've got some drops.

Antei soars to 84.
Been on this on and off since 2007, decided to give it another go. Gonna buy my own league, just a few real life mates so far. Anyone up for it?
I'd play for sure. I was going to start my own league with some friends too, so I'll see how you set yours up and follow suit.
Ok, i'll post the details later on. Not sure whether to wait and see if we confirm Shaw before i create it!
So for those of us with plenty of youths aged 21 and under (Varun, I'm looking at you!) can you make a lineup consisting of what you think your most promising players aged 21 and under are?
Here's mine:
