In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Which English team(s) are in this, and are the entering in at a later round?
There's a team called Europa FC 
Spurs, they are entering the competition in the play-off round before the group phase, after 3 qualifying rounds.
I hope I never in my lifetime see this thread bumped because of United participation in it.
Is this a revamped Intertoto?
Cheers. Just looked that up and it says that's a play-off round on August 9th and 16th. So a hectic early start following a Euro tournament. Yikes.
Those teams. I think I've heard of about 4 or 5 at most.
Are any other 'big' teams across Europe in this apart from Tottenham?

Roma. Villareal would've been it aswell so assume Real Betis take that place.Those teams.

Hah. Roma vs Spurs final would be great - Jose vs Fonseca! Battle of the failed managers.
Bohs have drawn a Wi-Fi password from Iceland, I'm hoping the second leg in Dublin is played in Lansdowne Road and they allow fans. Our government is very unambitious though.
No, there's actually no team from Spain in it because of that final I tried to forget.
Real Sociedad and Real Betis qualified for the EL, however they could end up in the ECL, if they finish third in their groups. God, these competitions are becoming more and more a giant mess.
FC Honka This what European dreams are made of.
This what European dreams are made of.Congrats to all of the qualifiers, they must be very excited about taking part in European competition.
Ah right is that how it works, it dosen't go down to 8th then? Union Berlin the Bundesliga team playing in this I think.No, there's actually no team from Spain in it because of that final I tried to forget.

Is this the first tournament ever where it would be almost embarrising to win?
Although that said it gives Spurs a huge chance to end their trophy drought.

Promo for the spurs match.
The name of this competition...
44 seconds of Lads its Spurs
Mourinho turning Roma into his team already, goalless at Trabzonspur at half time. Roma fans can thrill to the sights of sub 40% possession, 2 attempts and none on target. I understand his caution though, the Turkish side do feature the sprightly pairing of Gervinho and Marek Hamisk who at 34 years old each are clearly hitting their peak.
Looks like they don't give a shit if they qualify or not.
The playoffs for this are making us look like Heynckes' Bayern
A big deal was made of Kane not travelling for this, but it looks like Spurs left most of their main players at home
The two Russian teams in this (Sochi and Rubin Kazan) have already crashed out. Another bad European season or two and the league will be going from 6th\7th to barely in the top 20 in record time.
A Jose team shithousing a 2-1 win with their only 2 shots? Well I never
Against Trabzon...? I don't blame himA Jose team shithousing a 2-1 win with their only 2 shots? Well I never

Did they pick this geographically? Bala v Larne, Glentoran v TNS.
Spurs are playing who???
They basically played their academy and a few players that need match fitness. It's pretty clear that Spurs don't want to be in this tournament and want to focus on the league.Spurs 1 nil down
Paços de Ferreira.They're actually a decent side.
