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.
Strootman isn't that good tbh. Decent, nothing else. Wijnaldum and Davy Pröpper (Brighton) are keeping him on the bench.
Though in 2014 Bruno Martins Indi kept Virgil van Dijk on the bench so I guess it's not saying that much.
Since the start of 2018 you have played some beautiful stuff.
Rigged.. Its all rigged.
Someone at Roma is getting fired.

Very nice draw for Marseille. They weren't playing seriously the Groupes Stage. The final in Lyon can be a motivation for "Les Fadas".
Salzburg is a nice team but I think they will explode in the Velodrome who is one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world. Amazing atmosphere yesterday.
Griezmann is a Marseille's fan, a final versus Marseille in his native town would be nice.

I don't understand why you guys are giving us a bye straight into the final. Roma is not going to be an easy tie. All this talk of us being fearless, Roma is the same. They have just the same chance to beating us than we beating them.
It is very naive to think Liverpool will go past Roma easily, many posters should really grow a brain up ffs
Wonder what Buffon would say if Roma win it.
Wasnt this the same tie where Real scored 3 goals that should've been disallowed in 1 match? (just asking, memory's fuzzy)
Madrid fan speaking about refs. Oh the irony.
Wow...the dutch side is pretty bad (sorry). Wijnaldum is basically the same way you described. Decent, nothing else.
Just saw the Arsenal draw. Unfortunate Really wanted to save the massive AFTV blowout for the final.
Really wanted to save the massive AFTV blowout for the final.That's not what they did at the Nou Camp. They were very unlucky to be trailing by 2 own goals

Italian brotherhood and full-voice national anthem plus a garbage bin somewhere in the picture
?Just saw the Arsenal draw. Unfortunate
Just like we want to see the reaction on RAWK
No need to apologize, I'm well aware we're bad :P
True, I think they even each other out. Though personally I rate Strootman slightly more than Wijnaldum. Wijnaldum's just my favourite, because he's a Feyenoord youth product and a fantastic kid to boot.
A problem for Strootman is that he's being used in the wrong way for our national team. Our coaches all seem to think that he can be an anchor in defense while at Roma he play more freely on the left and is back by 2 other strong midfielders. He's not solid enough to play the Carrick role and is prone to making mistakes there. That lead to him receiving ridiculous amounts of blame for us failing to qualify again. He apparently can't step up when it matters and is shit unless the team around him pulls his weight for him.
I hope he plays like a world beater against Liverpool though

Hey you can include me in that
Obviously I want us to win, but if not, I'll always find time to laugh at the guys n gals that take it all way too seriously.This. If they met in the final I'd give the edge to Arsenal over 90 mins. Over 2 legs I could see Simeone coming out the happier manager as his team knows how to defend.
I thought Klopp doing his trademark "punch the air" when the draw was made was a bit much
I honestly think Roma will beat Liverpool and Bayern will beat Madrid.
I don't want Real or Bayern to win it so for me Liverpool or Roma can have itUpsets are good?
Very good draw for Liverpool...but then conversely also a solid draw for Roma as well. I'd have Liverpool as slight favourities, but equally can't rule Roma out at all. Fancy Bayern to win the other tie.
Catastrophic draw, I hate the Champions League sometimes. Liverpool should be playing Barcelona or Juventus right about now, not measly Roma! None of those teams should even be in the Champions League, none of them are remotely close to challenging for their domestic titles - all eggs thrown into the same basket. Liverpool finished 4th last season. When they last won the Champions League, they finished 4th the year before - and they finished 5th when they won. The same will happen this year, they will finish 4th. Champions League my ass. I just have to throw a lot of money on Liverpool and take the heat off, it's the only way it will feel remotely OK. Losing that money? I'd love to.
They were always getting Roma. We knew it from the moment that third goal went in against Barca.
Measly Roma? Really?
That measly Roma side beat Barca.
They may not be favourites, but can't be ruled out.
Liverpool v Roma will be quite a balanced tie. Both sides can be happy with the draw. Playing at home second might favour Roma a bit.
I fancy Real over Bayern. Bayern are aging and don’t get tested domestically enough. Makes it harder for them to face a side of Real Madrid’s quality.
Predictable draw. It seems to me that UEFA are keen to maintain English interest in the competition because of the size of the TV contract with BT.
If English teams aren’t involved as in recent seasons, TV rating will crash and so will the value of the TV rights, So UEFA make sure they stay involved?

Agree.
Always admired Roma. Always.
Feels like Real always get the advantage of having the second leg at home.
Not so sure it’s an advantage - you’ll be susceptible to an away goal that can change everything.
While Liverpool are quite heavy favorites to reach the final (1.40 odds), the thread title is a bit arrogant towards Roma.
I've seen nothing of Roma this year, but Kolarov vs Salah sounds tasty.
What is their play style?

You have to feel that this is their year.
Just saw the Arsenal draw. Unfortunate
Would be a typical Arsenal story to comfortably beat Atheltico and lose the final against Marseille.
I refuse to believe Leipzig will win their fixture, every time last year, when they were on form they'd lose when I picked them in my accumulator
People sleeping on Roma like they didn't just knock out Barcelona. Liverpool have to be the most overrated team in Europe god damn.
the bookies myth needs debunking though, it is mostly anglo-american & east-asian companies feeding billion anglophile punters (not the shiniest eggs tbf), that’s why such ridicolous quotes so many times at international level
Ramos penalty to fall back to earth and go in in the 98th minute of regulation with us needing a goal to go through or go out. Ref gives the goal, followed by UEFA retroactively decide it counts double and void the result from 2012, then Flo steps onto the pitch with a gun and two bodyguards, greek style, and declares real madrid to be the winner of the '11/12 CL
Not the shiniest eggs? Meaning?
