Here's the Carroll stuff. How long are they going to show that meaningless consolation he scored at Spurs for?

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.
That's a great team. Jones is fast becoming the sort of player SAF just has to find a way to play.
I can't believe that Neville said that Andy Carroll 'changes games'. 
Like that team. Good to see Rafael back
Giggs played pretty well in his last game in centre mid v Reading - he was one of the better ones. Then in the previous game he was on top form v QPR as he led the team to a comfortable victory.
Disastrous. And of course the last two times he played v West Ham in centre mid he did this:
Peg leg tony must be running the show in training to keep starting every game like this.
great, ESPN viewers get Ian Darke and Craig Burley 
Brooking's been OK to listen to.

Didn't he come on in the West Ham game and play on the wing? He's not really suited to starting games at CM. He would do a brilliant job on the left but putting him in a midfield two against Diame doesn't really make sense as he won't have the legs to cope there and his hollywood balls and fancy flicks don't really help us keep possession.
He played on the left but drifted inside a good bit. Was an excellent cameo that day! I seem to remember a crunching tackle near the corner too.
I don't have an issue with Giggs playing in CM against mid-table teams, although I don't think it really works against the big teams.
I think he's a great option to have on the bench though - in any match.

This game is on at 19:45 BST. The OP has it at 20.00 BST

At least it's not Steve "Dodgy De Gea" McManaman
Giggs off the bench with 15 mins left is an awesome option. That's how he's best able to influence games IMO.
Really good team, only change I would like to see is Nani in for Valencia.
He came off the bench but he played centre mid and it doesn't really make a difference anyway. He can justify being in the team because of that kind of vision alone. "He doesn't have the legs for it" is just another way of saying "I have an irrational dislike for Giggs" because it's so easily refuted by distance covered stats. Being annoyed by his hollywood flicks is a much better reason to want him out of the team...but then it's a pretty silly reason all the same.
Worst OP of the year goes to Elvis.
I agree. I hope Cleverley is taking this time, and perhaps some time in the summer, to improve his strength and his stamina in the gym.
Not a bad team that.
I'm sure Burley will take up the mantle, along with a pinch of his witless criticism
I'm nervous. Don't know why, but I am. God forbid what I'd be like if we were level on points with City. Maybe it's last season's implosion that made it worse but I always get jittery before games.
this will be a very tough game. Crowd will be mental as they always are in evening games. i predict a 2-2 draw
Looks great to me!
Shut you dumb ass ESPN announcers let us hear them sing Tiny Bubbles!
It's the Andy Carroll show!
We will win 0-4.
You know summer is approaching when it's still bright for evening games.
Come on United burst their bubble.
Decent start by West Ham.
With Rio and Vida at CB? Make it 4-0
Looks like they're gonna give us a game.
Had me fooled.
See Valencia is still being consistent
Never in doubt for me.
That's the general idea
Valencia had a mare there, but what's new.
Yeah, we're supposed to be their big rivals
He needed to control it with his left foot thus...
Why is it all so deep again? almost every player apart from RvP is within 20 yards of our goal.
FFS that was close,we're in for a fight.
