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.
Ray Hudson going a little over the top as usual. It was a decent goal, deflected in but nothing more.
I see a lot of angry people here today..... some broadcast rights problems?
Bale 
The front 3 of Ronaldo-Bale-Di Maria isn't working at the moment. Benzema might be having a shit season but he at least understands how to play as the centre forward. Usually plays well against Barca too.
Iniesta already pulling strings in a big game... he doesn't seem to bother in normal games anymore 
Lovely skill from Neymar.
Bale anonymous so far with the exception of 2 wild shots.
Messi not in the game yet.
Messi not in the game yet.
Messi's passing has been way off since coming back from injury... not really involved against Osasuna, terrible v Milan and now already made several lazy misplaced passes.
Awful free kick from Di Maria
Competition between Zlatan and DiMaria for their noses is very close...
Bale still looks crocked, I doubt he's fully fit
Iniesta really is a magician
Runners vs Passers
More so than ever this match.

Pique is a liability and it is like playing with 3 defenders rather than 4.
He has been good so far...
Bale has had very little football to be fair. Not sure he should have started this game. He needs to find his feet and this is not the game you want to be doing that.
Poor game so far
Watching these two is just so utterly depressing. We're so far behind them in every sense that its not even worth a comparison anymore
As an aside, I think I could watch Iniesta all day. His play is just beautiful

Bad foul on Ronaldo, shame it was his left leg rather than his right leg, which he was holding.
Neymar has been the best player on the pitch so far by a country mile.
Ronaldo's brought a lot of that rolling around back. Last few seasons he cut most of the feigning injuries out of his game but it's been back lately. Doesn't really dive though, so it's not bad.
What's a country mile?
This ref needs glasses
I've heard the same last year before we played Madrid and looked the better side.
Agree on this. However tactical wise and positional wise he is so lost it's odd
Messi looks exhausted..
A bit weird from Carlo indeed, he looks lost out there.
Close for Madrid. Not sure what Khedira's appeal's about.
Oh OK - Adriano handball
I'm a bit confused about Bale's position, is he supposed to be playing central striker? Why is he playing there?
Not a penalty for me
This ain't the PL, you're playing with pussies
Crap match. We need more diving and fighting.
Shame that the worlds two best players are totally missing today in this match. As for the two newcomers to El Clasico, Neymar is winning that one and is clearly the best of all at the moment.
Ancellotti has fecked this up. Should have never started with Bale in central position.
I just hate how every little bit of contact turns into a show of seemingly excruciating pain with players rolling on a pitch in fake agony in Madrid vs Barca games.
Despicable behavior, but it seems to be the norm there.

Why is Isco not playing? At least Madrid could play quick counterattacks through the middle with him in the side. I have really no idea what Bale is supposed to do?
He aimed for the meg, clever finish. Neymar with a big feck you to the haters.. the boy is the real deal, alongside Iniesta the best player on the pitch. Unlike Messi and Ronaldo, Neymar will go on to be one of those players that makes a consistent impact in big matches.
