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.
Yup, though I know I'll end up regretting it
84 - 34 Obama so far.
I've gotta get to the airport for 9, if I fall asleep I'm fecked...
103-34
feck me, Obama is shooting up, 103 - 34.
Racist.
Remember remember the 4th of November!
Stay up, sleep on the plane
Its the plan...
how the feck are UK stations calling races before they are called here?
I am following this on CNN the most conservative on calling states, but I'll be fecked if folks back in the UK know results before me!!

McCain under performing Bush in Florida. Good news for Obama.
I want to see Obama win, but that wouldn't be out of place on Rawk.
Agreed, its bizarre.
They're too busy showing ads to bother!
The BBC are going on whatever ABC say, though they mention the calls from other networksWhy are all the UK stations calling these before the US networks?
BBC says it's 103 - 34 for Obama at the moment, While CNN says 176 - 47.
Looks like it will be a landslide.

ABC is projecting PA for Obama.
Kerry was gonna stroll it 4 years ago though. I went to bed having happy dreams and awoke to a knightmare where a monkey proceeded to burn the world down.
I fear the same again this time. I'm sure it won't happen if I stay up though.

Shooting up, but it's not about that. When McCain wins texas his total will shoot again. It's all about swing states and targets being called one way or the other. So far as I follow it, nothing has actually gone against the projected expectations. But the big news for Obama is that he held Pennsylvania, which was one of the few Democratic states he had a chance of turning. With Obama a favourite in so many Republican states, it makes him a big favourite
Quick explanation, why are other states being given as one, yet the BBC are breaking florida down?
77-34 on my TV screen.
No, it means Obama will take all the Kerry states, the election is won by other states flipping, New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa are likely
The CNN I'm watching still have it on 77-34
Fox projects New Hampshire for Obama. It seems that ABC are calling all of the states first.
Ginsoak is in good form on the BBC
I know, I know, I've followed this election way too closely to miss that
But I mentioned in my predictions in this thread that holding on to PA is the key to Obama winning this election!
When are the votes for Ohio expected to come in?
0112 In Bill Ayers' first interview since he became an issue in the 2008 presidential campaign, the former Weather Underground radical has told The Washington Post he had a distant relationship with Obama and that the Democrat's opponents had turned him into "a cartoon character".
*sigh*
*sigh*
Due to Florida's controversial election results.
Other arguably just as important numbers:
Senate
Democrat 43
Republican 29
House of Representatives
Democrat 21
Republican 13
Senate
Democrat 43
Republican 29
House of Representatives
Democrat 21
Republican 13
Perhaps not so quick, how do you mean controversial?
Look up the 2000 US Election, Supreme Court had to call it.
I knew that, but why is it still relevant today and why do the bbc need an in depth analysis of the results?
Anyone else watching BBC America's coverage? They have the political news equivalent of John Motson at the helm.
There was also controversy in the last senate elections in Florida results
