In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Double taps from slipping should be allowed. How has Alvarez gained any type of advantage?
Taking them? Because he's saved a fair few between the sticks. Not his fault his teammates double kick it and don't score any in the most recent shootouts you remember.
The commentator even said his record isn’t that great at saving them.
He did save one tonight.
Either way - Alvarez being the one to get hosed like that after playing a superb game was pretty much expected. Footie is cruel and punishes immediately. Unless you're Real.
I remember a Palermo goal once allowed.
Anyway there are some vids that doesn't look like he even touches the ball with his other foot, it must have been a very tiny touch if VAR called it
I think Barca is the only side that really understands that, has to kick us proper while we are down.
Real Madrid have eliminated Atletico de Madrid in one round of 16, quarterfinals, two semifinals and beaten them in two Champions League finals.
Indeed, also adding a great first game too, it's just typical
Real Madrid and the Champions League, eh.
Lamest use of var ever….. so far
Today someone woudl die after some Pupas jab haha, increidble that they didn't win at least one of those
My favorite player in your current squad. Great player on multiple positions, always running and fighting till the end.
And its nice for once to not see that cnut of a right back Carvajal
Arsenal will be the end
Odegaard's revenge
I think there may be sensors on the ball for the automated offside so maybe that would tell them easily if there were two points of contact.
Chelsea just casually turned them over a few years ago. But that did include playing them at their training ground and in front of no fans at home.
Well... his save percentage is in the low 20%'s - comparable to that of Emi Martinez and Jordan Pickford.... but substantially lower than Donnurumma.
So what are we expecting here?
What a load of shite. Ref nearly had a hard on indicating that the goal was being chalked off.
And I'm very sceptical that VaR would have intervened had a Real player took that very same pen.

The thing is I think Arsenal could stifle Real Madrid and will be a tough game for them, their issue is low score draws and not getting wins in the league but in a cup competition that’s not as big of a problem. But you just know even if they play really well they really lack elite Champions League knockout experience and if it’s any way close with time left you could see Madrid scoring/winning. Batter them for 85 minutes and then Modric scores a 40 yard trivela, followed by a 98th minute three-way deflected goal which Raya lets through his legs.
They also had the corpse of Sergio Ramos playing in the 2nd leg. We battered them that night. Should really have been 5-0.
Right foot kicks it onto the top of his sliding left foot. Guess they've defferered to the ball sensor technology
Exclusive image of the VAR room, clearly showing the double touch
So the first time we hear of sensors in the ball, is when RM are in danger of going out of the CL and there's no conclusive video proof. You almost couldn't make it up.
Maybe I’m being harsh but from the ones I’ve seen he hasn’t been great.
Always feel good denying Atletico in UCL.
That said, i don't see any kind of double touch, and i don't think anybody else really does either.

If I were Atleti fan I’d be fuming
Agreed. That was a harsh decision.
Athletico scored after 30 seconds. They had great chance to kill us. Instead they decided to defend with all 11 players and parked the bus.
If Simione for once chased the win maybe he do win.

What's wrong with my post?
I said we would lose to both but with Madrid we have an outside chance.
Ie we are not favourites
And we will likely lose
How is that unreasonable?
I do not see it either, so I really feel bad for them.
Having said this, I do not see atoms. But they are there. Science tells us they are there.
PS. Obviously it is all a joke. I don't feel bad for them.
This. Although it's hard to be objective because I hate Atleti more than I hate Real.
You literally laughed at my post for making the same point even though I was even more cynical
I agree with this. Should have gone for it more
What game did you watch? very far from that. Yet indeed they should have finish better some of their chances, specially the Correa and Sorloth ones
If I was Barca fan I would be silent. Paying referies for 17 years...Negreira...
But definetly harsh decision.
