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 dunno, edmure has always come off as a buffoon. From the missed arrow shots to bragging about doing daft things in the name of Robb. He's just an idiot
Good point. I just didn't feel the tragedy in his fate because I didn't feel either the chemistry between him and Dany nor any real point to his going to the Wall at the end as a penance.
Then his character seemed to have changed after being a captive of the Freys for years. Obviously that experience would humble a man and that's the person we saw when he confronted Jaime Lannister. The guy lost his entire family and was a prisoner (probably under not very nice conditions) for years of his life, and we're expected to believe he didn't change at all and emerged a cocky buffoon?
They reversed his development because they wanted a giggle.
Cheers brother!
Bran and I both worked hard doing feck all along the way, we both just sat and watched everything happen. Now he's king, I feel I'm qualified to be on the small council as a result.
Yeah, the lack of chemistry was a problem. Not much they can really do about that apart from give them better dialogue but you know ... D&D.
And yes, the Unsullied/Dothraki being cool with that as a punishment was hilarious but again it's D&D and nothing really has to make sense.
It wasn't exactly a leading role though, getting lost in a snowstorm for thirty minutes, and whoever came up with those battle plans sure as hell wouldn't want to admit to afterwards. I know it was team effort but shessh
Just fecking ask Bran, no need to fecking sail for a year.
Yeah but expectations subverted though.
Thank you. I've been saying this since season 5.
I liked that episode quite a lot. When I read the leaks I hated it but it played out better than I thought it would. There was actually some good acting in the episode, Dinklage in particular. Thought Clarke had been practising her chops too, shame Kit hadn't.
Bran is one sneaky cnut isn't he.
Lots of spin-offs set up. Bit disappointed that Jon continued being a proper sad sack. Yeah, it was decent enough.
Far more popular! Bloody hell, we'd all be learning Dothraki at school if that happened.

Stolen from Reddit. Arya's supernatural perception:
Can I just say that Bron being master of coin isn't unreasonable. He is Lord of Highgarden and Paramount of The Reach, so he controls the area of Westeros that brings in the most money. That Tyrell muppet was master of coin at one point ffs.
Whether or not he should have gotten Highgarden in the first place though, hoooo boy...

"Seemed to have changed"
I didn't really see anything to suggest it - you said all the good work they did on the character but honestly didn't see that. Had no issue with him remaining a dweeb
Why the feck did Bran even need a master of whisperer?
Also did he say he was missing a master of the guard (or similar) whilst Brienne is sat on the table?
Just Blame lil Mormont and jorah
Did I miss something with the Dothraki? Why weren't they to be seen after Jon killed their queen? Surely they would have wanted his head?
I feel sorry for all those feckers who are sitting down now expecting something incredible.
How would he find out ? Seriously
Thoros of Myr killed by a fecking zombie bear... what a shit death.
Uncle Benjen sacrificed himself for no fecking reason.
Wights could dive under water and chain up a dead dragon with huge chains and where the feck did they get those huge chains from anyway?
There’s so much more. We should have seen it coming. It’s been a right mess since Ser Alisser died.

I laughed when Jon got sentenced to the Night's Watch. Back to square one.
They all fought each other for new leadership and most died. Meanwhile unsullied had nobody to command them except GW who was confused as off screen dany previously said don't kill him no matter what
Except Jaime would never kill Cersei, let alone the unborn child. Arya's story was about letting go of her revenge, like she had already done in Season 7 when she chose family over killing Cersei and bonding with a dragon isn't a some as just having the right blood. Basically they wrote themselves into the shit and it's very difficult to write yourself out of it.
However, I'd be interested to hear what you would have done differently starting from Season 7 because I feel like you're on the right track.
I enjoyed it. Not incredible, not shit. It's over now though. So I can stop watching people play "who can demonstrate they hate the show most." fecking internet.
Also did he say he was missing a master of the guard (or similar) whilst Brienne is sat on the table?
Kings Guard is different to the captain of the guard. Basically police of the city, who betrayed Ned all the way back when.
You're seriously complaining about that?
See, this stuff. They're more concerned with Arya getting a menacing cool line when she should've been pleading with Jon in hushed tones after what she witnessed first-hand "Look around you, Jon. You know what she is, this won't be the last city to burn etc" would be much more impactful.Stolen from Reddit. Arya's supernatural perception:
Nah, it was Master of Whispers, Law and War.

It’s typical D&D.
Dothraki aren't about loyalty, if someone is good enough to kill a leader, they deserve to be the leader in their eyes.
Yeah they're basically horsey Klingons.
I’ve not really criticised the show so far and just tried to enjoy it. But that final episode was so disappointing. I don’t necessarily mind what happened to most of the individual characters but how they got there was pretty crap and could have been done so much better. I could see what they were trying to do but some really crap scenes and clunky dialogue were evident throughout.
Why on earth is Bronn master of coin? Surely he should be master of war? I mean he’s one of the most experienced, battle hardened men left in Westeros and they made him master of coin? Daft cnuts.
Yeah that makes sense actually.
I'm sure it's been said already but that was a load of me bollox! feckin shite ending. Worse than coming 6th in the league or having Mourinho in charge.
