In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
The first 5 mins of this half hasn't given me much hope, yet.
This is horrific...
Carbon copy of the first leg. We expect the team to come out and react in the second half, instead its Bilbao doing all the attacking.
In fairness, it should be 2-2.
It's also a case of them caring about the Europa league to an extent.
Cleverley really is the golden boy on here because of 2-3 games that he's played well. He's done absolutely nothing in attack and defense yet no one wants him subbed. He's also the player that most likely won't be able to finish 90 minutes so it makes most sense to sub him.
We're being humiliated. We can't even get out of our own half. Defeat in this man will not do any good for the lads' confidence.
Whose going to make the 'Which Bilbao players do we buy' thread?
I love how Bilbo play. It's like a mix between Spanish and English football, like 70-30. They play possession football but they mix it up and move the ball around much faster than most spanish sides it seems.
we clearly are arsed otherwise we would have fielded a different team, they are just a good side and we seem not to be able to play teams that are pressing us
Even if we really weren't arsed Ferguson could not field a weakened side, because the media will interpret it as disrespecting the opponent.
DDG must find it perplexing how he's moved to a club which is currently getting raped by a team placed 7th in La Liga.
Their players starting to take the piss now with the tricks...
why not bring on Pogba?
Surely he can't do worse then Park...

giggs going bald
What?
In my river, Gol TV is showing some weird shit. They continue to show the crowd. Anybody having the same problem?
Any but the GK at this point I think.
Systems > Stars all day long and United rely on stars. We don't have stars so our system is exposed and it's utterly crap and one dimensional. Against a Spanish team it is border-line ancient.
High foot ?
It's probably not going to go down well when i say this but Bilbao just seem the better team than us? overall?
Don't believe that for one minute.
Stan Collymore...Jesus wept! feckwittery at the highest level!
i wouldn't be surprised if we finish the game without even testing the gk
It doesn't already exist?
They were 5th the last time we played them. Lost in the weekend away to Getafe. It's a very tight competition for every European space available beneath the top 3.
Basel gave us a game home and away, is the Swiss League better than the Premier league too?
Well, he's no winger, I think people are asking for him to be moved to the middle.
I can barely watch, myself, it's too painful.
We got a free kick!!
He watched us against Barca...he knows what's happening.
Apparently the feed from Spain has died. Or something.
Im going to assume we're winning.

Our setup has been wrong again and saf persists. Nothing will change in this game. We will do well just to draw.
7 min gone and still no shot on goal.
In fairness, each side has scored 2 legitimate goals. In fairness.
Would we play better with some spanish players, or is it the pilosophy of the teams that make them play like that. Suspect if they came over here they might just revert to our type of playing.
We'll win this yet. I'd love United to win this out and bag the hattrick of European Cups
There's no doubt he's a good player but he isn't fit to lace Scholes boots let alone be his replacement.
What in Gods name are you talking about.
If you are not being given time on the ball, you do not take time on the ball! It is left follows right basic fecking logic you nipple.
You really are a stupid cnut. Have a look at the fecking score line you daft prick. Then have a look at the type of football we're playing against. Then have a look at our recent history of struggling to play against teams that press us, and then have a word with yourself. They do it when we're both on and off the ball.
You can't play one touch football when you care barely get ahold of the ball except for in our final third when they inevitably feck up a pass.
No friggin' attacking threat.
Idiot.
We don't deserve a goal at this rate, such a flat performance.
