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.
Well there was enough in the tug to allow Bertran a freebie, i.e. to give him a pull back and a fall on Park's legs to bring him down.
Indeed, if Park hadn't pulled Bartra back, Park would never have got in that position to claim a penalty. When you tug someone you slow them down, simple really.
Villa's made a difference since coming on as usual.
Good goal, great timing.
Great goal. 2-2.
Good goal there.
fecking Pinto appealing for something to deny the goal. Just ridiculous attempts at cheating all the time.
Three good goals tonight.
2-2, Celta Vigo with a late equalizer resulting from weak defending by Barca.

1-0 for Zaragoza! Rodri with a great finish
Rodri, 1-0, great celebration
One hour in (and Madrid drawing 1-1, Ronaldo goal) and Mourinho sends out reinforcements - Khedira, Ozil, Di Maria come on. La Liga may be lost but Mou still expects to win the matches.
Frustrating viewing from a Madrid point of view. Got a spot of money on them as well. A lot of near misses so far, just need someone to finish things off.
Atletico - Valencia
1-1 after 5 minutes!
1-1 after 5 minutes!
Atletico and Valencia is 1-1 after 6 minutes. Going to be a cracking game.
Lively match, mostly because of Valencia, but they need Soldado - they're making chances but not converting them.
I expect Atletico to play better in the second half, or at least I doubt that they'll play worse.

Too bad Valencia didn't win here, want them to finish 4th instead of Sociedad.
That game turned a bit shit in the end. So promising, yet the 2nd half was just full of fouls and not much actual football. Atletico stay third.

Sevilla v Athletic Bilbao 21:00
Real Sociedad v Malaga is the battle for fourth place match - Betis, Valencia are the teams hoping that it will be a draw.
Barcelona can rest most people against (19th place) Mallorca and will still win, but it will be a very different team to midweek. Messi's out injured - maybe back midweek. Mascherano's out for 6 weeks. Valdes is suspended. They won't want to play Iniesta or Xavi. It could be Abidal's first real game back (he's played a friendly with the reserves).
Madrid are resting Coentrao, Varane and Khedira. Ozil will probably be on the bench. Casillas may be on the bench as well. Levante usually give Madrid a hard game in Valencia but I doubt they'll do much at the Bernabeu.

Sociedad seem a likely win - Malaga coming off a very tough home leg and also the return leg on tues in Dortmund so might be a touch distracted. Sociedad have the impressive Greizman on the wings though I think Vela might be injured?
Sociedad beat Malaga 4-2 (they were three up after half an hour) - Malaga rested a fair few for the CL.
Speaking of resting players, Madrid start with:
Diego López, Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Xabi Alonso, Modric, Callejón, Kaká, Benzema e Higuaín
In other words the only player likely to do the full 180 minutes in the CL who starts tonight is Lopez.

Top finish from Higuain! 1-1
marcos just came 
What a sensational finish
What a sensational finish
Golazo by Higuain!! extraordinary!!
Oh marcos!
marcos just came
What a sensational finish
fireworks of jizz for Marcos
great volley
Kaka scores the penalty - he looks so young!
Hard to believe that he's semi-retired.

Where is marcos? I really hope he's watching the game.. Imagine if he's waited all that time watching Higuain go scoreless game after game after game, until Higuain does this, only for marcos to miss it!
Having said that, Higuain is definitely the BPITW..

Just got home, did Higuain start today?
Yes, with Benzema and Callejon.
Oh, and why didn't Ronaldo take the penalty? Strange.
Because he was subbed on after the penalty.
Ronaldo only came on at half-time.
Oh, I see.
Ronaldo just never misses.
Levante have been garbage. Think they must have been boozing for the grand national
Ozil gets his second.
