In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
FFS Safin, making way too many unforced errors.
2nd set to Federer.
Federer wins the tie-break.
Federer's getting into his stride now. Safin looks ready to beat him to death with his own racquet.
Safin venting out some anger 
Federer looks very ordinary. Nadal with a great chance this year.
What a player he was, brings a tear to my eye. Athleticism, speed, power, rocket forehand with which he'd beat even Agassi to submission from every angle and position, great passings and most of all... THAT's how you fecking volley Federer (how many blunders has he made everytime he tries to go to the net... he fecks up so many easy volleys). Perfect volleying technique.
Game set and match Federer
Federer will up it a gear... he'll be focused as feck when he meets Nadal. Four sets to Federer.
What's Henman on about??? "Felt like we should be standing in the commentary box as well. It's really been a flawless, faultless performance again from Federer." He wasn't that good
Safin disappointed though.

I thought he was very good to be honest.
Very few unforced errors, served well, played well, and won convincingly without too much effort.

Nadal is about to start. I can see this one being over in an hour and a half. Roll on Sunday.
Nadal breaks first game.
Most pointless match ever. The type of game where at some point the guy who's getting battered (as expected) will raise his arms when he finally wins a game in a set.
Nadal playing well. Schuettler being pointless.
Schuettler won't win more than 6 games.
I think he won't win a single game, won't that be funny hehe
shit, he did win a game
How did this guy get to the semi's?
He had a piss-easy draw.
He broke
Schuettler breaks
feck! I stuck my bank on 1.04
Nadal will break him straight back, I reckon.
He'll probably win now I publicly laughed at him, the cnut.
Precisely.
He's playing with confidence now, this Schuettler...
He's bottled it.
He was always going to bottle it. If anyone has watched Shittler over the years they would know he always bottles it.
3-1 to Nadal in 2nd set tiebreak.
The thing is, you could never see him winning the set, even at 5-3 up. He's just delaying the inevitable here.
This match is just reinforcing my belief that Nadal is boring as feck. Turned it off now; it was so dull my eyes were melting.
Overpowering him just like Serena Williams did. Not as many complaints here though.
Serena Williams overpowered Schuettler, too? Or do you mean she overpowered the opposition in her match?
Either way, I find that style of tennis boring. Nadal particularly so, because whilst he clearly has talent (the fact that he finds the corners with such startling regularity is testament to that), he wins his games by banging the ball into the corners with such pace that eventually one of them is a winner or his opponent makes a mistake.
It's excruciatingly boring to watch. I swear the only reason he can be so popular with the Wimbledon crowd is either that they have no understanding of the game and so find him exciting or, more likely, because he's a very good-looking young man.
Kind of like how Ivanovic is so well-loved here despite not actually being as good as her ranking suggests. It's because she's hot that she's popular, not the quality of her tennis!

So basically Bruguera > Sampras?
Sampras > Federer.
Just to clear that up.
