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.
Time for the Spain love in.
Looking at that team, you have to say the Premier League currently stands third behind Spain and Germany.
That front 3 
There's only 3 teams represented in that world 11.
Edit: Ramos from Madrid makes it 4. He shouldn't be in there though
Awkward moment from Gullit there.
And all four are miles ahead of the best the Premier League has to offer, in fairness.
Fergie was invited...Decided he wasn't arsed.
Don't worry though, as soon as they introduce "best sideways passer" and "look of absolute fear" awards, Cleverley will be there front row centre
Xavi 
Absolute joke.
Absolute joke.and here comes the clown
- Xavi
- Ramos
- Ribery in RCM
- Messi on the right
- Alves
This list is fecking trash.

They are but you could argue that there are some players from the PL that could be in there next year. Rightly nobody from last year though.
Did Xavi even play in 2013?

90 odd million for Bale and he couldn't make the FIFA 11
No one from Dortmund? Where's the hipsters Fifa?
Besides Ribery, where are all the great players from Bayern and Dortmund's midfield?!!
Ramos, Xavi and Alves should be replaced by three Germans.

It'd have been a joke to include him ahead of anyone in the front three. Even Robben and Neymar would have deserved to be ahead of him.
Blatter, the clown is the head of world football. Can't believe it.
Can any one post the 11?
Busquets was easily the best of Barca's midfield this year.
What do you guys expect. People aren't honest. Joachim Low voted Özil, Gerrard and Alonso last season. That's the national team manager of Germany.
Wenger is right about this thing.

Xaviesta haven't had great years. They always manage to get in though. Schweini and Muller are the obvious omissions.
I would suck a fart out of this woman's arse. Absolute lungful.
That must be the seventy-second consecutive World XI to include Xavi, Iniesta and Messi.
My team would be:
Neuer
Alaba
Thiago Silva
Hummels
Lahm
Schweinsteiger
Ya Ya Toure
Ronaldo
Messi
Ribery
Ibrahimovic
Neuer
Alaba
Thiago Silva
Hummels
Lahm
Schweinsteiger
Ya Ya Toure
Ronaldo
Messi
Ribery
Ibrahimovic
Obviously it's all about opinions, but would a 'truer' World XI not look something more like:
Neuer
Alves
Hummels
Silva
Lahm
Schweinsteiger
Iniesta
Ribery
Ronaldo
Messi
Ibrahimovic
?
Possibly even putting Alaba in for Alves and Busquets for Iniesta?
Seems to a be a few reputations in there, the sort that would give Messi the award over the form player of the year - Ronaldo.
Neuer
Alves
Hummels
Silva
Lahm
Schweinsteiger
Iniesta
Ribery
Ronaldo
Messi
Ibrahimovic

Prefer the woman host to that model. But wouldn't complain about either. Who's the woman host?
Do they realize that no one cares about all of this stuff?
Where can I find a stream of this?
why don't they announce the winner 1st then do the rest after?
no, no they don't realise...
Neuer
Lahm Hummels Silva Alaba
Schweinsteiger Iniesta
Ribéry Messi Ronaldo
Ibrahimovic
For me.Lahm Hummels Silva Alaba
Schweinsteiger Iniesta
Ribéry Messi Ronaldo
Ibrahimovic
Alves, Ramos and Xavi are on World XI? Can someone please explain me why. Is this based on 2012?
'Before tonight no players from the Bundesliga or France's Ligue 1 had ever been selected in the Fifa team of the year. Remarkable.'
Bayern could have had one or two more in there aswell if FIFA weren't corrupt.

Because then they wouldn't get the same amount of viewers for the rest of it.
