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.
Why is Monaco's stadium is half empty when they are playing such good football? The stadium is not that big too.
Stadium is about half the size of the population of Monaco itself. I think its just that Monaco isn't a football place. Like Hull and Wigan are Rugby towns, Monaco is more into racing and stuff maybe? *shrugs*
Pity really.
It's a little town, full of rich people.
4-0 FT to Monaco who still lead the table by 3 points and a much better goal difference.
@Downcast You are watching Lequipe or you are Didier.
Pity indeed. That quality of football really deserves a much bigger better quality audience.
In a 90+ year existence of relative success you'd think the club would have developed a fan base around the area.
Nice was a big team in the past, so it's very difficult to take fans from them, if you go farther you have Marseilles and they aren't going to support Monaco either. Monaco has always been a relatively big club in a little market.
Well, 3 points between 3 teams, but at this moment only PSG and Monaco are Champions League level, in the next few years Ligue 1 will raise their level, and by the way Mbappé is even better than I thought when I watched him at the last Euro Under 19 in the Summer, more potential even than Henry at the same age.

Spy detected.
I don't like their discussionw with a lot of blah blah but as usual I watch them because I have nothing else.
By the way, Lemar has been forgotten wiht all the hype around Bernardo and Mbappé. He has been as good as them.
He's been brilliant, but I think what makes him great are two things: the maturity in his play and his delivery from set-pieces as well as open-play crossing. He has a wand of a left foot; the reason people don't talk much about him is probably because he lacks a little bit of star quality compared to the other two, he's not as fast as Mbappé and not as silky as Bernardo. Extremely important though.
Nice-Caen 2-2. I think that's it for their title race.
Mbappe scores again.
That Moutinho goal

To me it's on Jemerson, it was a terrible ball with a terrible effect.

It wasn't meant to cause offense.
No problem
The same also holds true for my previous post. When I wrote 'You have to know', it wasn't patronizing.
I know, it was just me being a bit thick. No worries.No problem

P.S.G. leading Lorient thanks to Cavani.
Emery?Looking for your next manager?
Dick Emery would do a better job
Risky 2-1 FT for P.S.G.
Now that Nice looks out of the race I still do not know who is the favourite to win this year, if Monaco beats City I think PSG will win, if not and with the advantage Monaco has by having played the 2 matches against PSG and Nice maybe they can keep the first place.
Couple of cracking goals in the Lyon-Toulouse game tonight. The last one was ridiculous.
0-1 Lacazette
Lacazette!
1-1... Rabiot.
1-1 Rabiot.
2-1 Draxler...
1-1 Rabiot
How are Lyon playin? Anything to fear?
Depay chance
They started out very well, but PSG have taken complete control of the game. Besides a good 1-v-1 opportunity for Memphis, they haven't created anything in the last 30 minutes or so. Think I'll switch over to Barca-Valencia, as I'd be really surprised to see any other outcome than a PSG win.
2-1 Draxler
Well thank you. They are somewhat the team I fear the most.
Lacazette is their talisman i think, he has been linked to an english move many times. Toliso is another good player coming through at Lyon. I do think over 2 legs we will beat them. In a final? It will be tricky. I would much rather play them in semi finals and genk in the final than the other way around.
