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.

Really? It's effectively Tribal Football etc with added scepticism. They have no sources other then what any of us can find with google and a good translating program.
On Twitter they don't chat shit and are good at reporting the facts as well as the transfer gossip from all the European papers, a lot of respected journos follow their account.
Back to tweets:
Chelsea's pursuit of Rooney is as bad as our pursuit of Fabregas.
It's like summer all over again.
The Times saying Rodgers went to see 17 year old midfielder Dele Alli. Plays for MK Dons.
He will eventually, but we're not gonna sell him to Chelsea.
Where will he go? Maybe Madrid since they can't get Suarez?
Well, as long as we don't have a summer like the last one.

Big news for #MUFC fans tonight. It appears they have struck a deal with their first signing in the last hour!Probably some Asian toilet roll or something.
I'm hoping its a bluff... A bit like how SAF used to play it. Then again moyes seems like the honest type...
Worth getting excited?? Has this guy got previous?
He has many followers and many tweets and seems a legit journo, although none of the regular ones that I follow also follow him, which is strange.
In the 5 seconds I spent looking at the Telegraph website I didn't see his name on the list of writers
Sam Rhodes, another gonk with a fake profile picture.
Why do we quote these turds? Why?
It's a WUM account, the picture is some stock picture taken from the internet. If you type 'business man' into google, that image comes up.
Sam Rhodes is the guy with fake stock image as his profile pic, ignore him.
Edit: Yeah, what The Neviller and BD94 said.
Edit: Yeah, what The Neviller and BD94 said.
His picture has been used before on other fake twitter accounts. It's in Google images under Businessman.
Should've known a new signing was too good to be true.
Are these the supposed grim quotes? Those are standard pretty much, SAF said stuff like he doesn't expect to do much in windows all the time. Only thing that is a bit odd is him saying he doesn't think the de rossi interest went as far as a bid, makes it seem like perhaps he's not the one who decides if they actually go as far as bidding for players, although that could just be me reading into it too much.
More tweets less talk!
But while I'm saying that (what a hypocrite I'm about to be
), I'd expect if those quotes are legit (and not edited to feck and not what Moyes actually said) then Woodward and co behind the scenes were the main people in charge in the summer. And if that's the case, it's ridiculous. Moyes took a shit storm for the summer and he's now taking a battering again, basically thanks to a few people who seem to have actually been in charge of the summer dealings fecking everything up royally.The De Rossi stuff is verging on a disgrace. Verging on a world class midfielder available for a brilliant price for a team crying out to rebuild their midfield and he's passed up up.
Confirmation that the dream is dead from our Howie.
I like how he keeps it open. Gives his thumbs a bit of hope for the rest of the month.
Good to see Howard has read the Sunday papers.
Fitting, given that this place is slowly turning into RAWK.
That's more like it.
Why were my posts in this thread removed?
Not the case here. As is clearly advertised in the thread title, this thread is for tweets. We're not interested in spammy animated gifs or lengthy arguments. Take that to the appropriate player thread.
