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.
What other teams dive and feign injury as much as them?
True that. He's been an incredibly dirt twat in every one of the Clasico games I watched.
Now all we need is Mourinho to get his players to flop all over the place to get some of the Barca players banned for the final.
agent Jose!
Madrid are bad, but not as bad as Barca.
But let's, for the sake of argument, say that whatever team Mourinho is managing at any given time is almost as bad, that's one other team. Hardly backing up the comment that Barca are 'no worse than the average team'.
I also noticed he doesn't hesitate to push players when they're near the touchline.I don't think he was playing like that at Liverpool
Yes. I don't understand anyone defending either team for their actions the other night.
It strange isn't it? He was fairly timid and inoffensive at Liverpool. Maybe he thinks all his PL experience means he should act the hard man now he's back in Spain?
Probably because he's under proper pressure at Spain of having to keep his place in the team. At Liverpool he was surrounded by dross so his place was never in question.
If you're talking about Barcelona in general as opposed to Barcelona v Madrid then they are not far from the norm. They have a couple of particularly cynical players but so do most sides.
Yeah he sure was a great Ref for havin respect of players. I think most folk were afraid of him tbh - those big eyes up close would make anyone brick it..

If that is true they should throw the book at him.
They way he is covering his mouth suggests he is saying something really bad.
Looks like he's saying "momo". M and N looks very different and that is not an M.
is not racism per se, is the peprception those idiot have that the insulted player will feel agraviated and then he will perform badly, or do something stupid and get red carder
like in ice hockey -i saw a movie- when a player tells an opponent that last night he shagged his wife, or that he's kid with down syndrome is stupid
Barca are retch worthy.
Nah. Lips would come back together again for a second m? Plus momo doesn't mean anything?
I don't think the video is conclusive at all. But it's worth discussing and is surely worth of a proper UEFA investigation.
M looks a lot like B and P as well, so any combination of those, and I'm not sure what the vocals are. In fact, he's probably saying "yo mama!" Plus I've no clue about Spanish. It doesn't look like 'mono', though.
Actually he might be saying "bama", thus referencing this commercial, thus calling Marcelo a fruit.
I know where you're coming from buy it's still racism regardless of the intention.
If somebody called me that, may God help them!
I just didn't think my opinion of Busquets could go lower, final whistle hopefully one of our players does him.
busquets must be the dirtiest, cuntiest, hatest player i've ever seen
i also think he has a racist side, else, he wouldnt do what he did to Marcelo, but i think that his purpose is not to show marcelo that he is a racist but to take him out of the game
Exactly what I thought, doesn't look like "mono" at all, hence I was asking who was the expert lip reader behind that conclusion.
If it was, it's serious, and I have some difficulty accepting such behaviour in players who have team-mates of all nationalities and are probably nurtured playing in a multi-cultured game since a young age. Are they really like that or is it a cheap and dumb strategy to annoy opponents? Are they (albeit certainly in a more moderated manner) racist as well towards their black team mates? How's the environment in the locker room?
you are calling Paul Newman a liar???????
Do you recall the fury when Keane et al chased D'Urso around the pitch about ten years ago? The press launched a massive attack on the club and United were fined I believed. Since then, United players have argued with the ref but not an all out mob attack. The club learnt its lesson ASAP.
Nothing happens to Barca (or Real) in their respective leagues or Europe. If this had been United, Platini would have called for an immediate ruling.
Actually, that's quite real world where people argue or cheat or whatever and get 'deleted' from FB or twitter. It's the norm these days. It's as if using the online tool is the ultimate 'F U.' You were deleted. Ouch.
Doubtful. They're the media and UEFA darlings.
United chased D'Urso around the pitch after that incident. It was quite nasty. I really thought it was about to boil over.
And I didn't say other clubs don't do this. But I believe United were fined for the D'Urso incident.
Your first and second United picks are not a mob riot in anything remotely similar to the D'Urso incident.

at the ref having Stam and Keano one meter away yelling
The Hanson Brothers rule.
It does happen in the NHL though, everything except talk about kids is considered fair game. The other week Flyers players complained about a Buffalo player that had mentioned their divorces in a mocking way hehe.
Major League when Berenger asks the hitter, "How's your wife and my kids?"
well, when you said that nothing happens to barca or real "in their respective leagues or Europe" you made it sound like something happens to the english teams in the FA
and bar that incident, we have seen quite a few ref bullying after that that has gone unpunished
you are calling Paul Newman a liar???????
No, just saying that the film is more representative of the minor and junior leagues.That's stolen from cricket.
Rod Marsh to Beefy 'How's your wife and my kids?'
Ian Botham, 'The wife's fine – the kids are retarded'.
