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.
An off-colour night for Spurs. I concede the title to Chelski, barring an absolute miracle.
Right you are. I could easily see you being champions this time next week.
Great result for West Ham and for Chelsea.
The old stereotype of the bottle still carries some weight?
The least losses in the league trophy is ours!
Yeah. So bitterly disappointed. West ham played very well.
Good for us that. Spurs hopefully out of the title before we meet them.
Spurs are out of a title race in which they weren't even really in either.....
Yes! 
Regardless of what happens, where they finish the fact is once again Spurs win nothing, how long will their stars stay there?
It's going to be that part of the season when they start eye-gouging other players and trying to break them in half.
They're playing us next, right?
They're playing us next, right?
Title race is over, we still fight for second place though.
Bloody hell, did not expect the hammers to do us any favours!
Cheers lads!

Yeah you were definitely in the mix mathematically. I would say that there wasn't really a point were you felt Chelsea were in trouble of being overtaken by Spurs. You could say the gap would've been 1 point had you won, but that's just it isn't it? Crunch games, including this one are where the pressure increases on the players. Imagine if you were ahead, the pressure on each game would be immense. Spurs didn't play that badly tonight, but West Ham were resolute defensively. You'd have to think reasonably that it's over at this point. Never know though, never count anything out.
lads , it is spurs
Our game against Spurs should be interesting if Chelsea are already champs going in.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHH! FINALLY SPUDS LOSE!
Now we can win the title before Spuds kick off again.
Now we can win the title before Spuds kick off again.
English media will cry of sadness next couple of days.
They werent winning it anyway
Beating Spurs and Arsenal will set the cat among the pigeons.
This. Spurs can now get a maximum of 86 points. Chelsea has 81 points already.
If Chelsea win their next two games, and they play the second one next Friday two days before we go to Spurs, they win the league.
Spurs' players probably won't give a monkeys about the result of our game with them if Chelsea are already champions.
Most likely, just looked at the table. 8 points to third place still, so should be fairly safe second place too.
I just want you guys to have nothing to play for, so we get an easy match
Yep, 5th + a trophy is better then 2nd + feck all
Spurs just seem to bottle it continually.
Yes they have played well this season, yes they have some top players and a top manager, but it doesn't seem to matter
when it matters you can trust spurs to not step up.

Why? Spurs have been really good, and only for them there would not even be a hint of a title race.
feck.. now these are going to drop their heads for United's visit I can see it. They'll end like Chelsea defeat last season, where Southampton and Newcastle thumped them.
I am sure they are very grateful.
Let's not get complacent now, go out there Monday and do the job to get those first 3 of 6 points to clinch it.
Horror challenge by Adrian on Ibra, right after he scored, would be another.
It is their last game at White Hart Lane. They'll be fine.
Conversely, hopefully West Ham can go into full beach mode too. Knowing us we'll make it hard work anyway.
What a dull final day it could be. The title, Top 4, EL spots and relegation could all be decided by then.
And a good contrast to show how it's not even, was that goal Ibra put away with a high foot, barely even touched their man a good time on from the ball going in, and it being ruled out.
I forget which game
No, not really in my opinion. Chelsea have had a huge lead all season and could afford slip-ups in the final stage - they could still afford it, even if you had won tonight. The gap would have been one point? Sure - if you want to look at it like that, they play Boro at home on Monday to equal the amount of games played. They have home games against Watford and Sunderland as well - practically walkovers at this stage. They have controlled everything since Christmas and I guess bookies even started to pay out in January or something. Runs do not last forever - Tottenham have produced a great run and now it is over, and so is your title chase (which I am more than willing to call it).
Well done though, Spurs can be proud this season. Unlike Liverpool, your players have stayed in great shape as you always seem to run more than the other team. Pochettino has to take some blame for poor summer signings and the inability to address certain areas. Furthermore, I think he has been lucky with the emergence of Son - a player I guess he had written off in the past as he really wasn't making a difference. Last year nobody paid attention to Tottenham, this year they were expected to fall back to their usual level but did not. Next year, teams will definitely be paying attention and you will move to a new stadium - it will be even harder to win the league. I will not try and guess the outcome of the top four though - that always comes back to bite. With proper investment in great players, who knows, but those players would probably want to go to another club with greater history and higher wages.
Same old Spurs
If they had really turned a corner they should win all their remaining games and finish with 80+ points.
Boro? Fairly sure I remember Valdez being in goal for that one.
Spurs gonna spurs.
I think the occasion of the last game at WHL will get them up for it against Utd despite tonight's disappointment.
