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.
That season was a fluke for them with all the sending offs (Vidic twice) and penalties. Doing the double over United was like winning the league for them, and still finished four points off. here fishy fishy fishy

So the only time a win is not a fluke is if nobody gets sent off and there are no penalties awarded? Any win under those circumstances is classed as a fluke? Have I got that right?
Still think that Everton will finish above Liverpool.
Guess it depends who United add to their midfield.
We're always only a nibble away from complete meltdown, Rene will have his bus conductors chomping away at Liverpools attack seeing if he can get a bite.
We've seen teams collapse before even from the lofty heights Liverpool are currently flying, put your wee scouse widgees away for now lads.

They have been very impressive this year. They can get third.
City and Chelsea better get their act together.
I'm not sure you know how to use 'less-than-signs' correctly
Or it was just a mistake or I am being thick
Best Strike partnership in the league. If they can cut out the ridiculous defensive errors can they win the league? They're only four back. If we were four back, even though it would be quite obvious City and Chelsea are better, we wouldn't be writing ourselves off.
Agger, Sakho, Johnson and Enrique all will return soon hopefully.
Based on tonight's display Arsenal have absolutely no chance of winning the title. Hopefully Mourinho is as good as his fans on this forum think he is otherwise based on who City have left to play away from home, I can see Liverpool winning it.
Hopefully Barca knock City out so they focus on the league.
They look like they might actually do it.
They only managed 22 crosses against Fulham
Au Revoir Sakho and Liverpool. Come back when you've had 81 crosses against the bottom team in the league!
They have Kolo Toure, they aren't winning shit.
I don't like how well they are doing.
They, along with Spurs, have the annoying habit of just refusing to lose.
4pts off the top with 12 games to play and both Chelsea and City to play at home.
They have no distractions and a team brimming with confidence and self-belief.
City without Aguero, and to a lesser extent, Fernandinho, are not a team I'd put my house on.
Chelsea are becoming too reliant on Hazard - if he is injured, they're looking at another Aguero at City situation, I reckon. Even though I think they'll win the league, they're by no means a sure thing.
Everyone expects the wheels to fall off at Arsenal. Not been the same side since Ramsey got injured.
Liverpool are the form team, playing the best football, and ironically, the most likely to cope if their star man goes down.
Are people still dismissing them as title contenders?

It kills me to say it but Liverpool are excellent at the moment. Not qualifying for Europe last year has made it so much easier for them to qualify to the Champions League this time.
Fluked another one so we did!
We've been playing with a second string back 4 for 2-3 months. Sakho, Agger, Enrique and Johnson all out. If fit Johnson, Enrique and one of Agger/Sakho would definitely be playing.
No. They're very much in it. They don't seem to have had a real dip in form either, all season.
Be interesting how they handle the pressure the closer to the top they get.
Yep, Liverpool are in with a definite shout. My money is still on Chelsea though.
I wouldn't say a fluke. Incredibly lucky that Reither decided to make a silly and unnecessary challenge though. You need those breaks though. Little things matter. Handball in the box against us on Sunday went unnoticed. If both those decisions go the other way, we win 3-2 and you draw 2-2.
I'm not saying they were the same, yours was a clear cut penalty, where as ours was barely noticable, but a foul all the same.
Anyway, this is just comparing 2 games against the same team. If we do it with our games against Arsenal, you were incredibly lucky that you have players who want to win, played better than Arsenal and scored 5, where as we are incredibly unlucky to have a team devoid of any drive or ambition so could only manage a draw.
Highly unlikely they will win the league. They would have to play near perfect football and hope the other three above them don't, which is not likely. Chelsea will edge City out in the last couple of fixtures imo.
It's in their hands, isn't it? Still though, their away form and relatively small squad should probably see to it they won't win the league. See them finishing above Arsenal.
The closer they get, the more their belief grows. I think you can see it in their play and in the way they're celebrating goals. They're no longer playing 'just' for 3pts, they've clearly got that top spot in mind, and why not?
They destroyed the league leaders just a few days ago and they're starting to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Chelsea and City are both going to have a rough ride of it at Anfield and Liverpool have no distractions at all between games.
If anything, as the CL games enter the equation, Liverpool will have their chance to pounce.
Ugh.
I was only being sarcastic referring to the post M'n'M was replying to.
But we were the 2nd best team most of the match, however our tenacity and desire to win showed a complete shift in our mentality and we were chasing down the 3 points right to the very end and I suppose in a way we deserved the win. Our game plan these days seems to be the strikers outscoring what the defenders concede- any my god there are some howlers to make up for!
Mourinho's Chelsea won't let it happen. And then you've got City who are still a great side who will get their shit together in the coming weeks and months, they've got too many good players not to. Liverpool could finish 3rd certainly but no higher.
How so? All they have to do is play winning football, and they're doing that just fine. The gap is only 4pts, with Chelsea still having to go to Anfield.
If Hazard gets injured, Chelsea are in big trouble, bigger trouble than Liverpool would be without Saurez.
City without Aguero, having to play in the CL as well, they're going to drop more points.
They've had some bloody important penalties this season haven't they?
Equalizer against Villa, winner against Stoke, winner against Fulham, winner against Crystal Palace.
Only one I'm not sure on is the Stoke one, did the penalty make it 3-2 or 4-3? Not complaining, pretty sure they were all justified penalties, just making the point. Defenders just can't deal with their pace, pretty sure all were avoidable - one of the positives of having pace instead of lumbering ogres.

Meaning they can't afford to drop many (if any points) for the rest of the year. They have difficult fixtures away to us and Southampton, as well as Chelsea and City at Anfield. I doubt they will win all of those, in fact they may drop quite a few points there.
You could make the same argument for Chelsea and City too though, both have the Champions League to contend with aswel.
Fair play if they win it - not the best squad in the league and obviously helped massively by having no European football. But, they've played some great stuff and with young players too.
What a fucking wank pile of contestants we have this year.
It's even got these bunch of Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime in the mix
best league race in years it will be touted, all down to having nobody decent enough to put this shit to bed.
R.I.P in peace Premier league

The pens against Stoke and Crystal Palace weren't winning goals.
Crystal Palace made it 2-1 right?
I said I wasn't sure on the Stoke one, not sure if it made it 3-2 or 4-3.
