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?
What the feck was that pen? 
ballon d'or penalty that
That's one of the worst penalties I've ever seen.
Ahaha Vinicius goat!
Why tf is he taking that when a guy who scored 3 pens in a world cup final is on the pitch?
In theory it should be but they rarely give it unless the foul is more significant.
I'm surprised anyone scores a penalty against Oblak. He's so imposing.
Absolutely. How did he get away with that?
This x1000
Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke
Never looked like scoring that one. Noise was deafening around the stadium.
That was it, it was our opportunity, thanks Vini.
A conversion.
You've got a taker who's scored three penalties in a singular world cup final... and you casually give it to Vini....why?
How did he feck that so badly, unbelievable.
Why is he taking them instead of Mbappe anyway

Oh wow
I thought Lenglet had bottled it

No lo he visto todo el partido.
Vini Jr with the penalty conversion gives Real Madrid the 3 points
Really puzzled by this too
I've needed to go for a shit for 20 minutes. Can't tear myself away from this though.
Pick the right studs for feck sake.
In the Champions League, if he is in your team, give everything to Rodrygo. He will deliver.
This feels like Atleti's tie
Club penalty takers often don't like giving it up to the new kid on the block. Even if it is Mbappe.
So many more games going to extra time now, and they’re always boring as feck. I’m not saying I miss away goals, but there has to be another answer.
Few seasons ago the IFAB changed the rules against "double punishment" i.e. giving a red and a penalty.
Real Madrid still have that Liverpool-esque ability to snatch a late goal, wouldnt count them out yet. Atleti need another.
Just let it go buddy, it's alright.
Why do people pretend they don't love extra time and penalties? It's more football and the chance of a shootout. Win win.
I thought that was as long as a genuine attempt was made to play the ball

Damn what a tackle by Reinildo.
Simple, no extra time, straight to pens.
Simeone needs to bring on some fresh legs in midfield. Lads have given their all.
That's what I thought.
It does but that's when Real Madrid usually pounce and end up winning

It still exists if the player doesn't attempt to play the ball, which was the case here.
Some one-sided ties, at least in terms of scores:
5-0 Bayern
4-1 Barca
4-1 Inter
9-3 Arsenal (not finished)
6-1 Aston Villa (not finished)

It’s 30 boring minutes most of the time. If it was up to me I’d do the shootout straight after the final whistle, then have the 30 minutes extra time. Gives those who missed a chance to redeem themselves, and there’s something to play for in those 30 minutes as one team is chasing the game.

It thought that only covered the scenario where the defender attempted to play the ball.
