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.
Wonder what City are thinking after seeing that lineup. They must have thought they'd have it easy before today.
I'd say they're just wondering how quickly United will give them the customary free goal.
feck you Jamie Redknapp.
feck you.
feck you.
Quinn and Neville commentating.
Who is commenting? Quinn or Nev?
Niall Quinn AND Gary Neville commentating?
Oh feck off Niall Quinn you fecking prickface.
Oh for fecks sake it's Quinn commentating.
They've only come to see United.
So who's going to be the actual commentator as both are 'co-commentators'.
Both. Should be interesting.
Are we going to have Quinn and Neville as co commentators?
That would be odd
That would be odd
I hope Gary knocks the cnut out in the commentary box.
That was a very pleasant surprise. I had more or less given up beforehand given all of our injuries, but that side should be able to put up a fight, if Valencia and Clev are close to 100%.
Strange decision. Would've preferred a neutral commentating with Tyler.
Valencia starting is, for me, more than just having him back in the side and hoping he finds form.
Valencia will be fairly well marshalled by Clichy I think so aren't expecting great things from him. However, what it means is that we have him and Raf playing wide which, against a side like City who lack natural width, means someone will have to be pulled out of position to cover him overlapping Valencia.
If all Valencia does is stay wide and occupy Clichy, Rafael will definitely have opportunities to do some damage.

Raf's shaved his head. Sexy fecker.
I knew Valencia would start when he wrote on his Instagram: Who's ready for a surprise later today?
Awesome, especially because he was awful due to playing with an injury. Hope he's fuly fit and rape Clichy.

Jamie is not there, but instead at the empty Upton Park haha.
Rafael got a nice haircut
I thought Alan Parry gets the early Sunday kick offs. What's happened to him?
The immovable object meets the unstoppable force.
You'll probably get neutral commentary from Neville. He's extremely professional and almost goes out of his way to not be biased towards United.. Quinn however is a fecking joke.
pretty excited with the lineup... As Dante Says, if everybody does their jobs, we have a good chance. Valencia has to be key.
This could be ending in a very interesting football game.

Kompany's god awful face on that mag.
Is Rafael sporting a new hair do or have I just not noticed it over the last few weeks?
The man looks like he's ready to chews chains and nails for breakfast.

Well this is going to be awkward. Unless they're going to have those 2 AND a main commentator? Which I fecking hope!
Thankfully, we're putting out a few good men so this isn't mission impossible.
Why do Sky keep the likes of Thompson, Le Tiss, Redknapp and Quinn? I think ALL the commentators should be neutral.
Like who?
Besides Le Tissier and Thompson never do Southampton or Liverpool games on Soccer Saturday.
Also we used to have George Best do every Utd game.
Both of them usually play the analyst role so will be interesting to see if one plays the direct commentator like Tyler does.
Yup.
He can brutalise Clichy, we know that, we need him to turn it on. I think that this is RVP's day too, this is why he joined us, this can be a defining game for us this season.

I dont trust electric toothbrushes.
Don't really know but can it be so difficult to find neutral commentators? Thompson and Le Tiss should shut up with their comments as soon as Saints and Liverpool score.
I am going for a 3-3
Tom Cruise on Sky! Haha
expected Cleverley to play.
