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.
Ben Davies is really poor.
Spurs are a bit dire to watch when Dier plays in Midfield.
Thanks.
That's probably expected as it's the first game back up against a decent team.
Son is just coming back from an injury, but got to imagine we'll see him in the 2nd half to add a bit of directness to Spurs attack. It's all a bit sluggish right now.
St James' has been really flat today.
Pochettino looks worried.
Super Boring Sunday.
Eriksen's shot *facepalm*
Bryan Robson was applauded for said tackle.
We are protecting the attacking players too much. Offside is in their favour and you can't touch a dribbler without being penalised. There has to be some logic involved. There will be contact during a challenge. It's not a completely non contact sport. If he dies, he dies.
No longer do you see the classic Ryan Giggs slide tackle.
Obviously the tackles Rojo escaped punishment from are a different story.
We've had a great opening PL so far, so is this our boring day of football? I hope we are on it later.
Terrible counter attack
Lacking pace somewhat, clearly missing Walker and Rose in an attacking sense.
Alli appears to still be on holiday.
Eriksen looks as productive as ever though.
That half was pure pish
Stupid Perez. Should have passed it to Shelvey.
Really? I think he Rose to the occasion (don't ban me pls).
Could be because he hasn't been playing for over three years now.
And why treat Rojo's tackles any different then? If he dies, he dies as you said. Let people break legs, why book them, let's get back to 90s, including people fighting in the stands imo.
Toon Army won't stand for this shite 
Hopefully you'll be better, I'm looking forward to seeing Lukaku play.
This game has been absolutely awful though.
Newcastle look a true Championship side.
They have nothing.
They must go back down at this rate.
They have nothing.
They must go back down at this rate.
He's playing well defensively, but he doesn't offer anything in an attacking sense.
Well that was boring.
Finally this half is over. Worst game of the season so far.
just the kind of trash you would expect Spurs + Newcastle to serve up.
Maybe to optimistic for this game. Forgot Benitez can stifle a match.
Friday and Saturday spoiled us. This is horrendous.
If Newcastle start tackling like Spurs in that 2nd half, Pochettino will have to buy 3-4 players to field a side.
Don't be a complete dick. His style of tackle.
Because Rojo is literally flying through the air with his studs showing.
Let's all let the wingers run rings around us while we jockey and sing Kumbaya, My Lord.
Awful 45 minutes of football.
Yes it was terrible.
It's been said that the British Government shows that half of football as interrogation technique to force secrets to be leaked. It's that unbearable. 98% success record I heard. The 2% were Newcastle fans constantly shouting 'Ashley Out' with no regard to the football being played.
More up their sleeves than BHA yesterday to be fair.
Was considering watching the second half but given the comments I'll watch MOTD instead
So did Skys anti illegal streaming plan work this weekend?
Or actually teach defenders how to tackle, position themselves and use their strength in other ways than trying to destroy somebody's knees, ankles or whatever. Scissors tackles are same kind of shit like flying, studs showing tackles.
No. Even if it did, NBC show it in the US via stream, which is what I'm watching.
More of the same, please
Go into coaching and revolutionise the game.
There's a clampdown on Sky streams but not had any trouble with NBCSN
