So our Nick got a goal and an assist today.
The Championship 2018/19 - Play-off final
- Thread starter duffer
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Ipswich snatch a late equaliser against Blackburn. 2-2. Edun.
Norwich get a very late equaliser at Birmingham. 2-2. Hernandez.
Middlesbrough get a equaliser right at the end against Millwall. 2-2.
Been some exciting games today.
Rotherham manage to score a goal at Brentford. 5-1.
Wigan hold on to win 3-2.
Middlesbrough come back and draw 2-2 in the end. WBA lose, instead. Brentford thrash the newly-promoted Rotherham. Preston and Wigan win as well. Birmingham-Norwich 2-2 and Bristol City-Nottingham 1-1. Sheffield United-Swansea City now.
2-1 Swansea FT. Good win for them.

I've always followed Preston as a sort of second team. They were very close to the play offs last season. Need to find a goalscorer and think they'll be play offs.
About time we saw them back in the top league, last played in it in the mid 60s.
Harry Maguire at the Sheffield United games. Nice when they still show an interest in their old clubs.
Yeah looking at the Swansea 11 real cost cutting going on there.
Don't think they or West Brom will be in the promotion mix tbh, certainly not top 2.

Valencia also at the Sheffield United game.
Was thinking why on earth he'd go to that but Montero still plays for them dosen't he?
Think he is on the bench, so yes.
Dhanda just scored what is probably the winner for Swansea. Is this kid can make is as a player, he'll be a fecking megastar.
Hendo was having a blinder as well. Got a keeper on our hands.
Montero has looked very good in pre-season, hopefully this is a sign of the season to come for him.
The first half wasn't great, but 2nd half really livened up.
Judged that perfectly. Watched the first ten minutes and thought it was gonna be shite, so I went and played Overwatch for an hour. Came back downstairs to see Sheffield United put that brilliant move together for the first goal, and then watched Swansea come from behind to win. Hope I'm this lucky with watching football all season.
Lawrence scoring a late winner, and Pearson and Harrop (who provided the assist) start the season off with a win, too! 3 of my favourite youth players in recent years 
Harrop didn't start much last year but he started the opening game seemingly as a CM. Good to see! Hope he plays a lot this year.

Yep he's disappeared last couple of seasons (actually thought he'd left Swansea) but he was ripping it up for a spell in the prem a few seasons back. Game turned when he came on as Sheffield's 3-5-2 couldn't handle him.

Do you do civil partnerships......
West Brom might have lost, but their new mascot is called "Boiler Man" ... at least they got that going for them.

He basically had, I'm just hoping he can stay fit, hopefully the club will manage him carefully. Like you said Sheffield's 3 at the back suited him down to the ground.
I was happy with the performance and the result today, looking forward to seeing how McKay does over the season as he looked great today. Still need a few more faces in as we've lost plenty this summer and I expect Clucas, Ayew and Fernandez to be gone by the time the window shuts.
Get in Leeds! Enjoy your life in the Championship, you thugs.
Hope to see him in the stands at the King Power very soon then
Hull take an early lead against Aston Villa. Evandro with the goal
You know you're shit when you make Alan Hutton look like Lionel Messi. 3-1 Villa.
Hutton has been outstanding, wants the ball all the time, really good performance. Also if Grealish goes from Villa they should look to Bowen playing for Hull tonight, can play in the middle or out wide, a very good player.
Grealish is gone, he was playing not to get injured out there and said goodbye when he was subbed.
Bowen is a good shout, he’s only 21 so I reckon he will play in the PL within a few years.
Bruce keeping Villa a working unit is a minor miracle in itself .
Grealish will be a good signing for a prem club, can see him in a spurs shirt but I don't think he's quite at that level yet, he still picks the wrong options at times .
Bowen looks a real talent, was impressed with Batty as well, looks good. Also good to see Campbell putting in a good shift
If he is to kick on then Spurs is the best place for it. He will be playing with far better player than he ever has.
Pleasantly surprised we won that. Certainly not turning away three points from opening game but we need to strengthen in all areas particularly in final third if/when Jack goes.
From what I've seen from opening weekend don't think they'll be as much quality in this division as Wolves and Fulham showed last season so will be more open in the top 6 I think.

Great start for Villa. How was the game?
Dragged at times. Stadium only about 60% full. Bad marking/defending for all the goals.
Hull played like the away team. Villa looked decent though kept giving the ball away in midfield. Hull didn't have enough quality to take advantage.
Hope Villa can get promoted this season. I quite miss them in the Premier League.
Boro 2-0 up vs Sheff Utd. Forest looking decent against West Brom but still 0-0.
Could have easily been 1-0 to West Brom there, bit of an awkward height for Rodriguez though.
