Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
We've got thirty-odd years left.
Will we make it to 50 pages?

#justiceforWAPR@hobbers and @Wing Attack Plan R are finally at war with each other. I've kinda been waiting for that one all game. The weird part is that they're at war because Qi, which is the ruling Chinese dynasty, declared war on WAPR (probably over his Asian possession), and they've somehow contrived to ally hobbers. Good choice.
Glad to see I'm finally conquering things and on the top 8 list, shame it's come so late that we won't get to see the full affects.
I can’t see what happened in that war but safe to say it wasn’t good…?Qi and @hobbers already finished with @Wing Attack Plan R, and now they're coming for @BootsyCollins. Who was already losing his war against @Eboue. Eboue got his independence, but also decided to take Bootsy's capital in Nyland.
Harsh.
It was pretty mild I think, actually. But your rapid ascent to Middle Eastern-African-Asian superstardom has been firmly shut down by all parties involved. Now your independence is guaranteed by Qi (China), so nobody is going to attack you at least.
What a geographical mess!
Is the game going to focus on getting 'clean' borders, or would that happen after the time period you've chosen?What a geographical mess!
The Personal Unions have made it a bit worse here, since that means Solius started taking areas over by RedSky's border, and same with P-Nut and V.O. If I run it long enough it would probably sort itself out a bit, as countries start blobbing some more and the big eat the small.
I might have to revise my position. After the war against @Eboue, which you lost, and the war against China and Japan, which you lost, the Timurids have gone and declared a Jihad on you.
Oh yeah, and also @Salt Bailly and @PSV have seen their chance to get some long awaited revenge for @BootsyCollins relentlessly bullying them for 300 years.
oh NOW the Timurids show up.
I spy some France I own
You own like four separate parts of France. Normally you would never try to actually conquer those areas, but since @RedSky is under you, you basically consider his territory as yours, and then it makes sense to continue expanding out from it. You pervert.
I am drunk and high. Take it all you feckers.
I'm curious. Are there any non-participants who are following this at all? It's quite niche I guess, might be hard to be at all engaged unless you've literally got your name on the map. Or?
I feel like I’ve been a non participant ever since the fecking ivory hunters came after the poor lonely Walrus.
@altodevil is finally doing it! Having realized he's essentially become England, his worst nightmare, he has worked up the courage to at least grab Scotland back. @Organic Potatoes does after all still occupy his former capital, Ayrshire.
@Igor Drefljak is bored of not having done anything and has involved himself, as has @AnotherLondonManc (as always). altodevil is joined by @Abizzz and @Andycoleno9. Almost all of the a's are in this war.

Hoping for some hobbers groupies?
You're in a very exclusive club along with @Shakesey and now @SilentWitness, and I suppose also @Igor Drefljak. Countries that did quite well before being crushed into near, but not complete, oblivious. You're still hanging on, and that's not bad.
Get in. How come his army is so small all of a sudden?
In a move described by commentators as "not ideal", the rest of @Organic Potatoes' colonies have chosen this exact moment to start an independence war against him. That's OP Mexio, OP Australia and OP Alaska. They are joined by Brazil, because why not. On the other hand, @Solius chose that moment to then immediately declare war on two of those colonies, so I couldn't begin to tell you how that's going to work out.
It's amazing how well Organic Potatoes has played the role of the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire.
All of his colonies abandoned him.
Solius is a monster, he smells weakness.
Gold
Oh dear. Just like all the other times @AnotherLondonManc found himself at war, @hobbers immediately decided that sounded like a great opportunity to attack him. This one is particularly unfair. hobbers himself would probably be able to win the war all on his own, but he's got all of @P-Nut, @Salt Bailly and @V.O. on his side. That is very bad news for @Samid, but extremely bad news for @VeevaVee, who could find himself conquered right before the end of the game. The great Italian Alliance is long-forgotten.
And all on my own too. I don't need no Solius, I'm a strong independent country.
Ah, yes. The Great Fonzarellian War.
What's worse than an unwinnable war? Two unwinnable wars.
Speaking of unwinnable wars, @V.O. has chosen the very moment of @P-Nut's triumph in Italy to declare independence, and he's bringing along Solius and RedSky.
The timing is really quite spectacular. @hobbers went revolutionary just before, which automatically breaks all alliances with monarchies. If that hadn't happened, hobbers would be joining P-Nut here.

All kicking off.Ai rulers got the memo the game is ending soon
Not for long.
I always knew you were a secret Jacobin.
he hates common folk
I can confirm this.
@AnotherLondonManc stop pissing about at the last minuteOh dear.
