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.
Without doubt. Anfield is often a library, Spurs don't even have a stadium, and City can't even fill theirs
It reflects the game as a whole. It's been pretty shite.
Some of the smaller/lesser teams do alright, Selhurst and St James' Park are usually rocking. I remember Stoke being tough to go to as well.
I do think the bigger clubs in England have become too corporate in their approach, so the fans are a reflection of that.
Goodison used to be decent too, but these days I actually think it's the worst atmosphere in the top flight, the fans seem extremely agitated and quick to get on their own players backs, rather than offering support.
I get that and I mean I am not saying they are bad they just aren't good.. even the away support when comparing it to other clubs. I can name like 5 off the top of my head.
Youngster my ass, he's 27 this year. Lingard will be a youngster when he's 30 according to the media
Peter Pan.
I've always thought that Old Trafford has an odd surrounding pitch area and it could quite easily lead to an accident.
Palace fans arguably are the best in England.
Don't think so. If it continues like this they have to hope it stays 0-0. United's attack non-existant so far. PSG haven't been overly ambitious either and their final ball has been poor but you can see they are clearly the better side. OGS couldn't have asked for easier opponents so far but against the two tougher sides he has faced in the league United were very fortunate to win so his record is bit lopsided. I mean it's obvious the mood at the club has changed but the quality of the squad hasn't.
Oh yeah I agree, club support in England really isn't great these days, very sanitised in the top flight.
Best in the Premier League for sure, Selhurst has a great atmosphere.
The top six are pretty much equally as terrible as each other, with the Emirates probably taking #1 spot as best library.
Wonder how serious those injuries are for United.
Not ideal timing with their fixtures.

Let's hope for a decent second half to make up for the crap in the first.
I hope they're back in 7 days time.

Just in time for us?
Emirates is Gash I mean just this season my club Sporting went their and our fans blew them out the water. You could hear a pin drop from the emirates.
Kimpembe is on very thin ice.
Exactly, I mean it's not too uncommon for players to leave the side of the pitch at high speed or while falling. An iron fence diretly behind it doesn't look like a good idea.
Which is a shame because you look at a club like Celtic and their league and there fans are rocking every game. Their home games especially in Europe give you goosebumps.
Celtic have safe standing I believe which helps, not sure how steep their ticket prices are.
I think the ridiculous ticket prices in the Premier League play a big role, the average fan of a premier league side just isn't all that passionate about their side. Plenty of the lower league sides in England have much better atmospheres.
I bet there will be some extra bitterness now.
I had no idea they have safe standing because that does make a difference. But besides the prices more so the atmosphere they make as a whole is fantastic to see.
Deserved tbh.
United have been a bit pathetic, very meek and easy to defend against. You simply can't play like this at home, credit has to go to PSG for nullifying them but this is not the United we've been seeing in the Prem recently.

Matic didn't look too good in that.
Yep, these lot in white are definitely not Fulham. Someone better tell Ole. 
Why is everyone screaming at the ref in the match day thread? Thought every single yellow has been justified.
What have they been doing tonight and this is a PSG without 2 heads of their 3 headed snake.
PSG looking like they smell blood here.
He's on another level to our defenders. Sadly we are missing some important players in attack and look a bit toothless.
One United goal changes this whole game. The next goal scored will be the most important when determining how this game turns out.
Tie over.
Game over. Their done. Mbappe is clinical.
It might be a bit too early to say tie over, but I don't see United overcoming a two goal deficit in Paris. They need a goal tonight, but honestly, Buffon hasn't had to do a damn thing except parry that one Rashford "shot/cross" out for a corner.
Great goal.
Ah shit 2-0. And Pogba looks shit against half decent opposition. No surprise to us non-Utd fans but I fear this might lead to no long term contract for Ole.
1-0 would have been enough. Sigh.

Embarrassing performance from United. Heavy favorites at home, PSG missing tons of players and United bottle it.
Its over. No sugar coating it. They play at much higher level than us. Doesn't even stand a chance
Great save but Mbappe's touch was poor there.
Very much a kneejerk suggestion but I do think United/Ole have been found out to a certain extent tonight.
They're deadly on the counter, but nullify that and they look lost for ideas, PSG haven't been uncomfortable at all. Barring a moment of Pogba magic you can't see where a United goal could actually come from.
Impressed with Tuchel.
De Kraken keeps a last bit of hope alive
PSG need to sell Cavani and have Mbappe up front full time.
They're playing on par. They're just not playing Huddersfield.
