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.
I feel you might have taken liberties with the word 'hilarious', we're 0-2 down against a far better team than us and have 10 players injured. We're out.
No more CL football for us after tomorrow but we're only three points behind you in the PL.... if you think about it you should probably be cheering us on, you'd rather we have more games than focus on the PL.
You guys play some shit on a stick football that's for sure, but well done for going through.
Do you expect me to be disappointed? I'm celebrating an excellent Spurs performance over the two legs against Dortmund (a team that many on here predicted to go through). But it seems you don't like this.
Tough.
Yeah. Usually I don’t remember who went out after which stage within two years, aside from United.
Can you imagine if they finish sixth.... big shiny stadium and no European football?
Honestly I’m not bothered. You should be more worried about league, really. From competing for the title to being 50/50 for a top 4 finish is just bad. You aren’t going to win CL but will need CL money badly. Not making it there will set you back significantly.
Ajax. Fecking hell. I can die now, happily.
At least they'll have a fruit salad bar.
I know you were busy watching your own team. You would not have said this if you watched Ajax play tonight.
Anything other than top 4 would be a disgrace. But yeah it would be great to have their first European game in their new stadium against MOL Vidi!
Great result for Spurs,
Amazing performance. I hope they win it this year because they'll most certainly get stripped of players next year.
You'd help yourself by not being so confrontational. You're very concerned with posters praising Spurs yet I've never seen you praise the team most connected to this very forum
Not to mention celebrating his club's big success on Manchester United forum.
Making friends again I see Glaston.
Just responding in kind to @Sarni, who started in with his obvious regret that Spurs go marching on.
Brilliant win for Spurs but Ajax,wowza,bloody incredible turnaround.
Guess this opens the door for a possible Jose and Madrid reunion.Cant wait.

You'd not make a very good bookie.
Thanks alot. I was afraid till the 1-4.
Miracles do happen sometimes.Another couple from Lukaku and Rashford is due a goal.
Yeah but it's a United forum, so when you have a dig at United you're inevitably going to wind up a few.
I don't really expect United fans to be cheering us on
.Bookie odds are not very well at reflecting long term outcome. Liverpool were like 3/5 to win the league not long ago.
You are competing with 3 other teams and all of them have arguably easier fixtures than you.
Until some bitter oppo fans started in about Spurs going through (or being "cowards"), I said nothing in this thread except to essentially say that Spurs didn't need to attack, that the onus was on Dortmund and that Spurs fully deserved to go through.
If posters post nonsense, or silly attacks, then why be surprised if their confrontational nonsense is confronted and exposed for the nonsense it is?
Banned on Spurs' forum.
Yeah with the way things are going in elite European Football we really need a result like Ajax knocking out Real Madrid.

Nor do I. But some don't know how to give credit where credit is due.
For myself, I'm willing to give United credit for coming back from the dead to give themselves a decent chance of top 4 in the league.
I'm willing to admit 4-0 v Dortmund was a good result. Probably should have been tighter (goalie very good) but they're in with a shout and that's all any club/fan can ask for at this stage?
In all fairness, if it was United who were 3 up in a tie and didn't push forward I wouldn't be too bothered. I'd only be bothered when it became 3-2 or so.
Tactically, Spurs didn't have to go for a goal, but they were clearly told to catch them on the break to try and knick a goal which they did. I'm not a spurs fan but I can see the logic behind this approach. Luckily Lloris had an outstanding game.

Will be hilarious for Spurs to go another decade without being relevant when it comes to trophies won.
I'm not a Real fan, but I'd boo the overrated Welsh donkey. He's done the bare minimum in 6 years there, don't be fooled by the highlights package.
In six seasons, he's never managed to score more than 20 goals in the league, and his overall best for the season is 22 across all competitions - this while playing in a team that scores 140-160 goals a season in all competitions.
Maybe it's injuries, maybe it's his subpar technique, maybe it's that he doesn't contribute much to the buildup phase of the game, maybe it's price tag (at one point he was the most expensive player EVER), but Gareth Bale has been a bad investment for Real Madrid.
feck him and them.
What's with you and these daft comments regarding United's next manager? It's going to be Ole, get on with it.
Good jinx
How many 100m players can they fund?
Good jinx
Hah, I was 99.9 % certain that VAR would overrule the third goal just because it was against Real.
Cracking call btw, don't think there were many others that believed Ajax could do it.
Fantastic, Ajax!
Edwin celebrates

Hope Ajax win it, strange to think they're the side we outclassed in the Europa final a couple of years ago. Shows how stagnant we went after Jose's first season.
You're back!
