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.

Just wiki'd him and he's 24, didn't realise he has been around for quite some time and is still pretty young. He's transformed into a very good player that could possibly win a grand slam here or there into world no.1.
I haven't been up to notch with the tennis this year but what I have seen on him he has a lot more shots up his sleeve combined with more power in his returns.
Tennis fan, Brophs?
If he was English, 3 would be perceived as 30.
Anyways, I like Djokovic. And he's playing at an unbelievable level right now but let him rack up bigger numbers instead of jumping the gun. In terms of level of play he's got it but you have to do it over years and years to even be considered.
Jaja.
Exactly. He's probably playing amongst the best tennis ever but we're many years away before we can consider him to be anywhere close to the GOAT.
He's 24 so he probably has around 3-4 years at his peak and even if he wins 12 Slams in that period (unlikely) he'll be behind Federer and Sampras.
Anyway Nadal breaks. Let's hope he does better from 2-0 than he did last time.
The thing is. Even when Nadal gets a break, Djokovic can just hit back straight away.
Remember Yannick Noah? he was proper good to watch.
These lot don't have our extensive knowledge of the game.
great point
That point was in-fecking-credible
He was no Edberg.
Becker's my fav tennis player of all time. He was cool for a ginger kid.
Alright Spoony, feck Edberg and feck Noah, and his ark.
It's the US Open final here.

I still remember Lendl vs. Chang.
Anyone remember Chang serving underhand in the French Open?
Now that was tennis.
Now that was tennis.
This tennis is brutal. Had it been played yesterday these two would have had to retire and share the trophy 
How long is this game!
Time violation on BP? Brilliant job.
In the first set Novak took 33 and 40 seconds between points at Break point but now Nadal does it and it's a violation?

Losing this game is going to be a massive psychological blow for whoever it is!
Looks set up to be classic.
8th Deuce bloody hell
And now you choose to Double fault.
And now you choose to Double fault.
The crowd need to shut the feck up
Unbelievable fecking point!
Unbelievable, how the feck did he put that in the net
fecking hell
How did djokovic do that
What a game!! Nadal cant take it!!
And he breaks back. Sigh
If Murray is watching this right now I bet he is already trying to find some kind of closure. He can only hope to overtake Federer on points eventually, and that's about how close he'll ever get to #2 or #1.
What a point. RIDICULOUS!
Murray isn't fit to wipe these guy's arses
Why didn't he tell the crowd to shut up when Nadal was serving?
Losing that crazy long game has fecked Nadal up
What a sickener for Nadal, you spend 17 minutes trying to hang on to your serve, fail and your opponent rattles off his in 3.
Making nadal look a bit average that moment.
Novaks incredible
