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.
Is everything okay? Must have been a terrible ordeal that made you walk past that place, I can't imagine anyone in their right mind going there willingly.
I want to watch Spurs-City but avoid the Liverpool-Porto spoilers to watch after, anyone know which channels are safe or can help out otherwise in the DMs?
Most broadcasts nowadays will show if a goal is scored in the other game, and at halftime show highlights from both games.
Yeah, halftime is easy to avoid, it's the announcement of goals some channels don't do. People have fecking phones now, if they want to know the score of a game they'll look it up.
I can't think of another sport that makes you choose not to watch quarter finals. It makes no sense.
I think Spurs will get something tonight but City will get what they need from the home games.

His old man must be back from the shops at last.
Liverpool 4-1 Porto
Spurs 2-1 City
Rooting for a Pool/Spurs double. Let's go

It's the armpit of a city that's basically an armpit.
Really surprised to see Oliver starting for Porto. Also a bit surprised at Brahimi being benched but he did start as a sub in their 2nd leg against Roma so it's not as surprising as Oliver starting.
I think Spurs can get something today. They have shown better form and they could get some chances. Last time they played it was an even game between them. City won, but Spurs probably deserved a point after missing some chances.
Which timezone though? CEST?
Well, the other one is trademarked for Arsenal, isn't it? ^^
Can't decide which game to watch. I guess Porto will lose so City/Spurs should be the interesting fixture.
Think I'll start with Pool. Once they score I'll switch over

In my dreams it'll be
0-2 to Porto
3-0 Spurs
bur then I wake up to see Liverpool and City were 3-0 up by half time.

KDB was reported as not being in the right frame of mind once struck by the splendour of Tottenham's new stadium in person.

Porto have the benefit of VAR potentially chalking off a couple of the offside goals the scousers will score. Their premier league victims will have to wait for next season for that to happen.

The dream is that you don't switch over
Best timezone ever!
Porto win while kicking lumps out of Liverpool and an exhausting Spurs win please.
Start a CL game at what is 10 pm for most of Europe, in the middle of the week?
Bad idea.

I'll be watching them both, one on the tele and the other on the laptop.
And they say men can't multitask.
Feck sake, Lahoz as the ref. By far and away the worst ref in Europe.
They did all the group stages at 7pm and 9pm Western European time and that worked fine. For an institution that prioritizes money, they really missed the ball by not doing it for the QFs.
Wonder how the best English player will do today against Spurs.
I don’t think this works so well for quarterfinals. Personally I did not like 7 pm games, way too early and did not have the right feeling - felt like warm up before proper meal. Not to mention it’s 6 pm in England which feels absurd for a mid-week game.
It has to be 9 pm to have a proper atmosphere of a big European game.
When they do the brief burst of CL music before the ad breaks start and end on TV, I swear it sounds like the chorus is singing "Vertonghen". Check it out.
Been said many times this season but City’s bench and their depth in general is insane.
Left back is not his natural position but Delph will do well.
They have chancefor sure, especially after City'ds lineup was announced.
I'm pretty sure "lads, it's Tottenham" is reserved specifically for Spurs. Could be wrong.
Yeah. He'll have that overrated boxer in his pockets for sure.
Okay I admit it, Spurs’ stadium is incredible.
Thanks for all the good advice pals
Let's see what Porto has.

That stand is fantastic. If they can get the noise up in that it could be really intimidating.
Yeah its pretty cool.
What would be a good result for Spurs today? Any win? A draw?
I don't think he's playing tonight.
Indeed. Shame it isn’t home to a less bottling club.
