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.
International football has gone to the dogs.Not worth watching.
If Italy are as impotent in attack tonight as they were in the last game, Sweden stand a decent chance tonight. Wonder what tactic they will choose. Parking the bus, or trying to score? If they score 1, Italy will need 3 because of the away goals rule.
Not that our defence looks exactly strong these days. The famous back 4 is finished.
Italy have made a world cup final every 12 years dating back to 1970.
They last made the final in 2006.

And the last time we didn't qualify to the WC was exactly 60 years ago
Well, not much hope with SventuraWe're going out tonight
Sorry about the off-topic, how does your NT underachieves so much in qualifiers? You guys sure have enough players quality to fight for a second place on groups stage, IMHO. Norway has some very decent footballers.
Argentina were on the brink too but made it.And the last time we didn't qualify to the WC was exactly 60 years ago
You need your own Messi to step up now.
Indeed. He is on the bench (Insigne).
We are bottlers, I guess. Sorry, I haven't really paid attention to Norwegian football for years. My football interest generally only concerns Man Utd these days. Very decent footballers you say, who are you thinking of?
HE DOESN'T EVEN PLAY!!!!
You both are such drama queens
Accept we must rely upon the veterans Convert to Juve and their managerial approach to football, if you want entertainment go and see the circus Italy will be way too strong for us. GG and good luck in the WC, lads.
Seriously? You (assuming you're from Sweden) won the first leg you know. Why the defeatism?
It is called reverse jinxing..
I feel like it's going to penalties tonight. Buffon to be the hero.
Oh, right.
Silly football fans and their jinxes...Your back 3+Bonucci is dragging us down, tbhYou both are such drama queens
Still no Insigne as expected. At least there are Jorginho and Florenzi.
He isn't that good at penalties, tbh.
Ventura's insistence on refusing to play to our best players strenghts(Insigne on the bench!) is nothing short of insanity
Worst manager i've seen for the NT and i've the trainwrecks that were Sacchi and Trapattoni....

Yeah, he is a mad fecker.
No Insigne, not italian but hard to understand why a player like this is not used for the sake of 3-5-2.
Nerves are coming, but I still feel very confident that we will reach the world cup. Don't really fear Italy going forward very much. No Insigne again is also strange. Gabbiadini normally shit as well apart from against us in the league cup final . Might do good today though.
My prediction is 1-1 though!

It is a damn shame that it took this long for Jorginho to get cap tied.

I am glad. They didn't create much last game and the only change they have made pretty much is starting with Gabbiadini. Midfield changed with Veratti suspended as well, but doubt it will improve very much.
Well, we just need to be as lucky as you were to score, really.
I just don't see how you're going to score after the first leg. Problem is we won't score either
Cannot understand managers when they don't field the best players for the sake of a tactical system.

Sventura only sees him as winger
Club managers i can kind of understand. NT managers is beyond belief. Like you even have a chance to actually build a tactical system on a NT....Cannot understand managers when they don't field the best players for the sake of a tactical system.
FFS
If he is only able to play in a 4-2-4 maybe someone should tell him Jorginho and Insigne play well in a 4-3-3, don't know, maybe he knows better than me I guess.Sventura only sees him as winger
Italy's line up is depressing to watch.
Sweden can do it.
Sweden can do it.
No, he just knows only one formation. He wants to show he can win with his methods.
Remembers me the fecker Antonio Oliveira for Portugal in 2002, he wanted to play Figo, Rui Costa, João Pinto, Conceição, Pauleta at the same time vs the USA, guess what happened?
We were losing 3:0 in 30 minutes.
I watched the 4-2-4 in Madrid, of course Insigne can't play like that, and against Spain?
He's a vertical manager who is too tightly bound to his ideas, except we don't have the players for it
Tell you everything about him.I watched the 4-2-4 in Madrid, of course Insigne can't play like that, and against Spain?
