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.
I'm still surprised, and disappointed, that Henin's retired. She was a joy to watch.
This fecking game is holding up all the other one on Court 1. We could be here all night at this rate
Well yes, they are remarkably talented. But if they really wanted, they could still be dominating, but they'd rather produce fashion lines and star in music videos, it seems.
Simply turning up for the Slams isn't really the attitude to have, no matter how talented you are.
There see that fecking point Dechy won. Says everything about Ivanovic. Should have put that down the left and Dechy's backhand instead of farting about
Thats the opposite side of the Williams sister coin which you was talking about earlier. Henin was so intense and focused on the sport that she chose to cut short her career and focus on other things. The Williams sisters see their other interests e.g business as a get away from the tour life, not that I agree with that approach.
She says "hajde" which means "come on" in serbian.
Hmm, I'd imagine it helps.
But saying that, there aren't many, if any, players in the game at the moment, that hit the ball as sweetly, and time it as well, as Ivanovic does. But, as Baz says, she needs to improve her shot selection.
I wouldn't have them near me tbh, but they turn up, they have to be played against and they grind out the results
Very true, but that's their natural talent that's getting them through, just think how good they'd be if they actually out 100% in week in week out. Personally, I just don't agree with how they do it.
Yeah she did but thats the same as the sisters when they had the same focus and media attention on them from early. Maybe, they needed to take a step back from the sport to avoid that kind of thing, who knows.
It any of the sisters did a whole season they would be world No 1 and would be in with a good chance of the Grand Slam
3 fecking hours watching women's tennis - I am sure the Ivanavic fans are happy.
here is a thing to do, watch Ivanovic and try and guess her shot before she does it. About 80% of the time you will get it right. Far too open, far too reliant on her forehand and a cross court back hand (which is probably the best shot she has)
Exactly. And that's my point, if you have the talent, why not utilise it to the maximum potential, and be the best you can possibly be?
Maybe it's just me, I don't know, but I don't like to see wasted talent. I feel that if you are lucky enough to be so naturally talented, you owe it to use that talent to it's maximum, as they're are plenty of people that would give anything to be in that position.
35 forehand winners for Ivanovic.
finally 3 mp's 
Her shot selection isn't what it could be. But that's something she can work on. She has the strokes in her locker, it's just about choosing when and where to use them.
Edit: Game, Set and Match Ana.
Lucky -
Ivanovic is through finally, not exactly impressive though.
Sam - If you get a chance look at A. Radwanska later on. Just turned 19, but naturally gifted and solid.
Better player then Ivanovic imo. Her 17 year old sister is playing S. Williams at present.
One for the long term future imo.
Now she will go out and lose in 2 probably after saying that

Court 18, will probably be last match when euro's is on
Cheers Baz. I'll try and catch it if I can.
They are beasts who power is only matched by Sharapova, if they can serve well and not have too many unforced errors most of the girls players will have trouble beating them
Me too. What a great player.
When Djokovic was being destroyed by Nadal at the French:
2nd Round OUT. Totally buttfecked.
Let's hope you don't jinx him again

I had completely forgotten about that. But he did play very well at the Queens tournament on grass just before Wimbledon. He made it to the Semis last year in Wimbledon so I don't think it's Djokovic being shit on grass there was something wrong with him mentally today and Safin played great.
Federer in danger of losing a set here.
1.09 on Betfair that he does
1.09 on Betfair that he does
He'll break back immediately, and win this set 7-6.
feck sake - he is something else with his backhand slice
Awesome from Safin
Could prove to be a big shot against Nadal
What's this crap about army snipers deployed to shoot down pigeons? Just throw out some alka seltzer tablets.

Further evidence to back up my theory that tennis is a game reserved primarily for complete knobends.
I mean, in what persons head can it seem right to shoot innocent birds, so that two people can play a game of tennis?
Unbelievable cuntishness

What do they use to get control of the hawks? The madness has to end somewhere.
It's just typical of the self important twattishness that embodies the sport and everyone who represents it.
"Those pigeons might distract me slightly, have them shot"
How about instead, you fecking grow up, and pull your head out of your arsehole?
