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.
It's Sweden. He's dropping our best player in a WC playoff in Sweden...Sweden! FFS
Anyone but Mancini. Ancelotti sure, he'd be a good fit. Best option by far atm
Premier Sports advertising both legs of the NZ-Peru tie to be shown live in the early hours of tomorrow (Saturday) and the return game early hours of next Thursday, not showing up in the Sky programme guide so far though.
Son Heungmin has just scored his 2nd against Colombia. Good. One Colombian just launched a viscious foot over the ball ankle breaker that only got a yellow. Now they are rolling around simulating and I've just seen one make the slant eyes gesture to Ki Sungyon. Disgraceful fecking peasants.
First half Brazil 3 - 0 Japan so far.
Neymar(pk) - 10
Marcelo - 17
Gabriel Jesus - 36
Also that Colombian line up is not their best start XI, not even close.

I wouldn’t underestimate Sweden. They are pretty good and much improved from the Euros as far as I know. At least offensively, they still seem to have problems defensively.
They came to Portugal to beat us 3-2 (in a friendly but still) and they beat France at home too during qualifying.
Both teams played with the second lines, we had fecking Marafona as keeper, don't take Portugal friendlys seriously. True they did beat France, but also didn't beat Netherlands in 2 matches. They are better than in the Euros, but if Italy doesn't make stupid mistakes or see red cards in 180 minutes they have more individual quality than Sweden.
Surely N.Ireland was stitched up by the referee.
I just saw that.
It's clear he has a bond with the club. Every fecking tax payer in Spain has a bond with them. Or a gilt. Or something.
Just seen that too, what the feck.
0:52
James is a pathetic piece of shit too. Looks like I've got a new NT to hate, niiiiice.
I'm sure everyone knows what you mean but he blows TOO quick, even for that, if anything.
Arm leads, ball hits arm, blows whistle - with no thinking at all, seems likely to me.
Technically - if you've never played or refereed a game before, & don't understand the game or the rules, it is quite a good fit for a penalty - if you've just read what the rules are that morning, for example, (possibly).
Maybe he just misjudges the distance...
Last time Italy won in Sweden was 1912 according to Tancredi Palmieri! I choose to believe the stats (this time!)
Knowing our players, your tag is probably the biggest worry
Know that's good banterI just saw that.

Keep in mind i was 7-8. By ethos i meant "win and look good doing it"
In hindsight, my gramps conflicted feelings about Bernabeu became much more understandable(my gramps always spike of di stefano, puskas, gento, etc, but never about bernabeu...)
I'll be at Wembley today for the England Germany game, mate had a spare ticket so decided to go.
Poor England squad, not really excited to see anyone. Will be good to see Sane and Kroos from Germany

I know England are pretty crap but I’m sure Germany will have more than 2 out. Five should be enough to beat England
I'm really looking forward to tonight's game, hope for many goals and fast and attractive attacking football.
Looking at our (supposed?) lineup and bench over at kicker.de, I guess Löw will swap nearly the entire team at HT.

Senegal have qualified for world cup after beating South Africa 2-0.
I thought you could only make 5 subs in friendlies to stop the changing of the whole team?
Best England starting XI ever?
Seriously, though, cool to see Tammy and Cheeks in the starting XI, feels like I've been following their careers since they were about 10.

That so? Isn't it up to the involved teams to decide on that?
If Jack Cork and Ryan Bertrand get on, that's 4 Chelsea academy products in the side.
Nope, a max of 6 subs, been that way for a good few years
Edit since 2004 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/3509153.stm
Ah. Never paid much attention to that then, obviously
Poland XI vs Urgay
Artur Boruc - Thiago Cionek, Kamil Glik, Jarosław Jach - Bartosz Bereszyński, Jacek Góralski, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Maciej Rybus - Jakub Błaszczykowski, Kamil Wilczek, Kamil Grosicki
Boruc's last match for Polish NT, Poland going 352 for the first time, Lewandowski rested.

Too much to hope for Martial to start for France, probably?
Lindelöf starting obviously.. Full day of sport in Stockholm with Colorado and Ottawa playing first of their two NHL games also tonight..
How do we not have better on stand-by than Jake Livermore? We're a football-obsessed country. A few injuries and we're reliant on workhorse midfielder's with poor technical ability.
that England team is almost terrifyingly awful
I will be watching two players in this england game - Draxler and Ozil.
Who's he dropped that could have made this side?
Yes. Yes it is.
They have a very good team too, good defense and a lot of fast players on the counter. Congrats to them, hopefully they can surprise one of the big boys at the WC once again.
So you just hit under the belt? Shame on you.
Didn't realise Youngy got called up. Good on him.
How the hell does Giroud start for France when he can't even get in the Arsenal team? It's not like France are short of attacking options?
