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'd love to see it because all I have seen is people ignoring advice and going about their lives as normal.
We are a bitter bunch of bastards putting peoples lives ahead of Liverpool winning a football competition.
Where do you live!
Are you seriously suggesting that our government are on top of this?
Mr Logical Know-it-all is amongst us.
You may like to know that many of us United fans want the Season to finish because our team is still involved in CL places and also 2 trophies.
But there is no logic in trying to squeeze in football before another season starts and when the pandemic will surely still be around.
Also players are no clockwork toys we can wind and unwind at the pleasure of the FA and others who ONLY see their 30 year wait finally fulfilled.
Klopp himself wanted the Winter break but then his 'invincibles' disintegrated.
Null and Void is the only decent feasible and logical option, although it will hurt us too, first and foremost for the good of human lives.
are you watching Borris on TV right now? Which would you believe here..
I am. There will be a very long delay before the league can resume, could be 6 to 9 months in my opinion but the key point is it must resume before we can start a new season.
The league will not just resume after 6-9 months
Looking forward to posting something that will irritate you through to the bone
Tried to do it for you maybe he falls off his high horse!!
The "look at me, I was right" attitude is not really called for. We get your point but nobody knows how this will develope and when we will come out the other side, that includes the PL. Also, few if anyone here is saying that Liverpool don't deserve to be Champions, but the practicalities of finishing the season are complex. An indefinite end date is a huge legal and contractual challenge.
That's bullshit the Premier league has to fall in line with other leagues in Europe to some degree.
What?! Continue this league in 6 to 9 months time?!
Scouse logic at it's best or rather worst.
I think the PL will postpone as much as possible until multiple other leagues decide to inevitably cancel their seasons (Spain & Italy) then they will say "we tried" and point to those other countries and cancel the PL.

I am not putting human lives ahead of anything. Its a subject that is most poignant to both our clubs. We must do everything we can to try and stop this awful virus.
Football is secondary until this has all been resolved, but once it has we must finish what has been started, There is no point starting a new season if you haven't finished the previous one?
Now i would like the season to continue, but this opinion below is fecking stupid:
How the feck can you think it's ok to go into "September, October, whenever"
For this to happen, all teams in Europe would have to agree with the Premier League and continue, and considering the state some of them are in i can't see that happening. Otherwise that would completely feck up the Champions League for everyone all because you want your beloved Premier League to continue. It would also have huge ramifications for future seasons because god knows when they would take place. There's many other knock on effects, of course. As i said, i would like for this season to go ahead, but within reason FFS.
It's the way he says not finishing would be a lack of "integrity", and then says cups would be for reserves / youth teams!
In between the serious connotations of all of this, it's good to have a chuckle!
He's in effect thinking the Premier league know when it's finishing, ahead of all medical science! Love it.
I'm suggesting a vast majority of the UK would be taking advice. I think certain spots in London still have idiots though.
For example - a whatsapp message in my friend got in a football group where the match will continue tonight at Goals:
"these are the teams - no more drop outs. We have no more reserves. Appreciate we are in testing times but I need players as I cant cancel the pitch without getting charged"
So yeah, you will get some idiots, like the bloke organising 7aside above. But that's not reflective of the UK. London has patches of idiots sadly.
We'll he just more or less said they hope to be over the peak in 12 weeks. We you then allow say another 4 weeks to come down the other side your chatting end of july.
You'll need at least 4 weeks between then and playing your games to allow players to build up some sort of fitness.
You'll be talking end of August start of September minimum id imagine

PL and FA statement is pretty much what was expected. No way there was going to a decision to void season today. It’s a holding statement which outlines intention, opens up a route to fulfil that intention but doesn’t make a final commitment. I don’t expect to hear too much more ahead of April 30 except, if as expected the spread continues, they may announce another extension a week or two ahead of that date.
From a football perspective now the most important thing is to ensure the lower league and non-league clubs receive the financial support they need to continue.

This is the most scouse post I have *ever* read on this site. Congratulations. You better hope Niall doesn't see it! England's league is in sync with Germany/Spain/Italy etc. It cannot fall out of sync of those leagues after a certain amount of time, so when these countries cancel their leagues to start their new one, we will have no choice but to do the same.
Boris mate, Boris. One r.
Let's not make this a McGuire thing

I can't help but add the extra rI'd probably save the smugness for when any games are played out.
Rather than going off some "saying the right thing" stuff the FA have peddled out, amongst their hope, and that's all it is, hope that this blows over quickly.
Boris was just quoting 12 weeks to "get on top of it", which seems optimistic, and to be based on absolutely nothing.
That would make the correct spelling wankerr
Shame. Shame. Shame.
So gullible to think its anything other than easing the masses fears. The word indefinitely alone shows how shallow the statement is. No season can be suspended indefinitely. If this virus were to continue ravaging the world and UK for another 18 months or more, there is no way in hell they would still want to resolve a season from yesteryear. Come 30th April, or even before that, as they've done it now before the 4th, they will come out and suspend it again, and then again, until they have no other "possibility" other than voiding it. The idea to appease the masses such as yourself, is to give the illusion or the hope of finishing what simple won't be possible due to the length this virus will continue to affect the world. With experts saying a vaccine is about 18 months away, that's the only hope of starting football again, let alone thinking about finishing a season. "Its the only logical option."
Imagine doing a "Well. Well. Well." post when we're in March, and this whole virus thing hasn't really come close to even peaking in this country yet, it's quite frankly mental.
That statement alone sums up scouse logic, utter bollocks. And then still said with such blissful ignorant confidence.What?! Continue this league in 6 to 9 months time?!
Scouse logic at it's best or rather worst.
I am incredibly flattered
Just to be clear I want to stop COVID19 more than anything and once we have the all clear to carry on the season where we left off. It could actually make for an exciting finish to the season with renewed optimism for most clubs and many squads at full strength.
Congrats on getting the 'I told ya on internet" certificate.
RAWK emissary!
I haven't belly laughed in a while. Read it with a scouse accent and it's perfection!
BREAKING: The Premier League have awarded Liverpool this: https://t.co/yrXZIr7SBy
Its the fear man, its the fear. It is overzealous confidence, because facing the reality is just not an option.
I just had a text from a scouse ass telling me the league has been awarded to them. Tell me it isn't true please.
Imagine joining a United forum as Liverpool fan during our worst season and your best in 30 odd years just to laugh and wind people up, and then complaining from that high horse. Just pathetic.
It's really not the time to be doing 'well, well, well' skits, is it?I am incredibly flattered

Nothing has changed and the lip service is going to be given until the logistics present a completely different set of problems (many people have run through them in here). I get you're giddy about claiming the league, but it's far from certain this season will ever be concluded, unless all parties are willing to forgo, or alter, a large portion of the next campaign, which, again is rife with all kinds of problems.
go somewhere else instead of trying to shame us for laughing at Liverpool.
