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.

Is anybody surprised? I mean seriously??
This is a nothing post and sounds like a recap. Not worth posting in here.
Barcastuff is a Spanish Howard Nurse mixed with Hunter.
It's becoming a toss up between who is the more useless tweeter, Barcastuff or Howard Nurse.
Are you suggesting Barcastuff is a nurse hunter?
BarcaStuff just tweets stories from various news outlets. Not the account holders personal opinions/sources.
Any tweet is worth posting in here as long as it isn't indykalia or whatever.
I wouldn't mind but he puts the the source on the end of each tweet too.
"@RafaelH117: Spurs have agreed terms with Real Madrid for the transfer of Bale. Initial fee: 20m instalments in 6 years, total fee: 120m. [As-Marca]"
That's the 6th time Bale has signed for Madrid now according to Marca
Installments over 6 years? That's shite. We got £80m up front in a big swag bag for Ronaldo 
Now, if only we could remember where we buried it...
Why on earth would Spurs agree to an installment plan like this? They'd lose their best player this summer, and only have 20m to replace him with.
Why?? They would have 120m to spend on players,if they wanted to, but they would need to structure the finance in the same way RM are allegedly doing with them ie. over the duration of the contract
Obviously Spurs will be able to arrange finance based on future earnings.
You'll need the goodwill of several clubs. I doubt Spurs will take such a deal.
If you are talking over 6 years I agree. That said, very few transfers are completed on cash upfront basis.
What would the implication of instalments have on FFP?
Does it benefit Spurs to have an extra £6 million of 'income' on their books each year, rather than one lump sum of £120 million this summer? Would it allow them to spend more on wages and/or transfers in the long term - especially considering that they're building the new stadium too?

Mirror:"If Man UTD don't get Fabregas, they will go for Schweinsteiger" Hello! He is the starPlayer for Bayern. You think they'll let him goI actually jokingly mentioned we'd put in a bid for Schweinsteiger next.
Guardiola will be booted out of Bavaria before Schweinsteger ever leaves.
There is some question over whether he'll be as key for Bayern next season as he has been previously. Doubt he'd want to leave but there's probably more chance of it happening this summer than there has been previously. Still very unlikely, though.
I was trying to remember who wrote that when I read the Mirror's ludicrous story!!
It's like saying if we couldn't have got Van Persie we'd have gone for Aguero.

Signing Spain's Under-21 captain has put immediate pressure on the established midfield duo of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Javier Martínez. The latter will have to get used to life as a centre-back, while the former, a key figure and fans' favourite, has featured intermittently in the starting lineups. The 29-year-old has only just returned to fitness after an ankle injury but Thiago's outings as the sole holding midfielder in many games was seen as ominous for his chances.
"I'm not quite sure [of his plans for me]," admitted Schweinsteiger.
That excerpt from his quote is probably the reason why the Daily Mirror printed the story in the first place.
Get real. There's more of a chance of us now actually ending up with Thiago than the Pig Mounter.
That mentalist at ESPN just randomly tweeted this
It's on.
He's probably pissed.
"Who is laughing now?" We are, Tommy. At you. Always at you.
I have chosen to believe him for the rest of the day. With it being Sunday, we are unlikely to hear different.
It looks like he is and always has been laughing according to that twitter picture.
You know nothing, Tommy Smyth.
Maybe Ronaldo is coming to play in Rios game this weekend?
Surely he should save this kind of smug comment for...I don't know...it actually happening!
This same guy also does not think Fabregas is dead in the water. People need to chill and wait for either Fabregas or Moyes to speak on the matter.
The politicians at Barca are as bad as Marca.
So what Wenger knows is that Fabregas will stay one more year, at least! ... But he doesn't know if thats changed.
