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.
God I love the days of Conners Aggassi Becker who just knocked the fking cover off the ball trying to actually hit the lines
Too much safety first with this lot
Too much safety first with this lot
The two points he just dumped
He creates openings well but then doe'snt take the risk and step in and wellie the fking thing once the opportunity opens up
Murry has been behind on his own serve far too much in this match. He has to improve the first serve percentage and improve his second serve or will never win a major.
What is really criminal about Murrays game is that this match shows Nadal has won the same amount of points at the net !!
A classical clay courter has won more at the net than a good solid volleyer on a fast hard court
Jesus
Whoever is coaching Murray atm needs a rocket up his arse
nil footwork on that game point
Too many unforced errors as well. He is nearly there but so frustrating. Useless haggis loving Scottish twat.
ffs. What a shit way to lose your own break.
Rafa hasn't played well since the 2nd set. Murray with too many errors.
he had Nadal reeling at the start of the 4th,let him off the hook
These last two games show everything about him imo
Murray has worked himself into break point position both times and on those big points Nadal has needed only to get the ball back and wait for the bottle to go and the dump in the net
Thats what's so annoying about Murray he doe'snt even make the players play great to beat him - they get to the crunch point and just need to get the ball back and Murray will do the rest
Nadal's played below par enough for Murray to raise his game a little and beat him but the moment the expectation of success appears, be it a game, point set or massive moment in the match he drops away alarmingly - he really just does not have any kind of inner competitive toughness
If Nadal plays like this against Novak, he'll get raped.
Funny thing is I think if Murray won a grand slam it would kick start something for him. Hes got the ability but his mental strength is questionable. He seems to lose it at important times. Way toooooo many unforced errors. Hes not getting dominated, hes just hitting the net or hitting it long.
Saying that, Nadal has just played two brilliant shots to go 0-40...

I have to start supporting winners at tennis...
I was rooting for Federer, Murray and Wozniacki today...

Why does Murray always look like he's in agony. Even when he's winning.
Change it to Williams so that Wozniacki has a chance...
yeah, hypochondriac
Murray has been awesome since going 0-40. Its just sooo weird.
Stop hitting the bloody net!
Again tho its nothing to lose - opens his shoulder and really hits through the ball freely but the moment it's tight he stops doing that
Hes 4-2 down and will probably threaten but as he gets closer he'll bottle it
Great stuff right there.
Yet when he has a chance to go ahead, he hits the net or hits it out without being forced to do it. Its so annoying.
He should have had the break rather than Nadal having it.
It's over now...
3 match points coming from a shot into the net 
Damn Scot... 
I dont think Nadal glittered like the commentators are saying.

So f*cking annoying. Nadal has had it so easy today.
55 unforced errors...
Oh well...anyone know much about the 3 British lads who made it into the boys singles semi-finals?
tbh and with respect Murray really needs his head examined
If he does'nt he'll never get near a slam
....like Henman

Hope Djokovic wins the final.
14th GS final. The lad isn't half bad y'know.
Well he's been "near" a few times......so thats wrong already. Good job son.
Dont think hes won a set in any of the three finals hes been in though.
It's been a long night. Murray was very good but Nadal was just brilliant.
Let's see what happens in the final.

I'd love it if Nadal could win the first set just once against Djoko. But I won't really be watching with too much expectation.
No
He has not been near, not even remotely close. In any really huge match he has caved in from the start almost without exception
son
Well Nadal beating Murray should finally shut Sean about how Murray is getting closer to winning the trophy. I told you he is all hype and he can't win as long as Djoko and Nadal are around for the final rounds.
Now for the final, lets go Nadal!
Runner uo 3 times and 6 more semis. Continue being wrong or just read up on the defintion of near.
