United Stand doesn't do much for me. I find Goldbridge an Alan Partridge type which can sometimes be funny but is usually grating. I don't feel he really has much insightful to say and the videos are way too long with a lot of repetition. His co-contributors are not especially interesting to listen to. Beth is probably the best; fairly knowledgeable about current day United, though not exactly a United history buff (but she is probably early 20s so hey). She's attractive, which definitely doesn't hurt.
Stretford Paddock is my favourite. Unpopular take but I really like Stephen Howson. Yeah he is sweary and toots his own horn a little but I generally find him to have some thought provoking things to say and it's clear he has connections at the club. Jay and Joe are decent guys. Joe's a dark horse in that occasionally he comes out with pearls of wisdom and knowledge but he often plays the quiet host type or the comedy sidekick role. I'm not a big fan of McKola... just don't really feel he says anything particularly useful/different.
Sam from United Peoples TV is decent but the format and his delivery can be quite dull. I like him though. Just think he needs to mix up his presentation and have more people on to interact with.
I dislike Webb and O'Neill or whatever they're called. Just sound like blokes up the pub. Opinions are basic, common sense (which is good I guess) but I don't really get any value from their content. They're a bit old school. Quite similar to listening to Paul Scholes as a pundit.
Haven't seen much from Flex. I've liked what I've seen though.
The Football Terrace United guy is alright but I find him really intense and serious. I'm probably pro content/insight rather than personality when it comes to United YouTube channels but this guy really needs to be more animated. What he says is generally ok. Bit like Peoples.
Overall, it's good we can watch all this stuff for free and there's decent variety on there. They usually produce so much content that it's hard to avoid a few duff videos here and there and the stuff can feel stale, especially in times where not much is happening with United.
