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?
That's gotta hurt Murray, after doing so well to get the break back. Fatigue has got to set in soon for Andy.
A real test now for Murray, I'm sure he'll keep himself together, he's come back before. Bit different in a grand slam final against the best player of all time.
YES. Federer KAM ARNNNN. Murray is done.
They said that about him on grass courts not long ago.
......yeah because he British, we should be backing whoever the feck we want, and I choose to back the pure and utter class that is Roger Federer.Right on cue
Surely you cheer for the underdog when United play, ehh?
Nadal was always improving and Nadal probably could get up to him on hard court, but it will never happen with Nadal's bad knees, especially on a court as fast as Flushing, maybe Oz, but I still doubt that
Wow, that's gotta hurt.
What a sexy drop shot
Try going on a US site and cheering for a foreigner when an American is playing...........let me know how it goes.
Who was Murray just talking to?? (angry)
Party time!!!!
It appears The King hath returned
His heads dropped a bit
*pumps fist*
Nah, put Nadal on the other side of the net and he'll act like an eunuch again.
probably fine in regards to tennis, Roddick is hated, and most people could care less about most of the players other than Blake who I could care less against.Try going on a US site and cheering for a foreigner when an American is playing...........let me know how it goes.
That doesnt mean I am supposed to root for him though
Federer is just too good. Andy has done great to get this far, but i think the long matches are catching up with him, and Federer has the smell of victory in his nostrils.
On this court I'm not so sure. Murray beat Nadal after all.
We will The Australian will be interesting, nice that it is played in January so there isnt a huge gap between it and the US
Hmmm...
I think I understand why you chose to support Manchester United.
Will you start supporting Arsenal if/when United aren't succesful any more?
Choosing to support the best team/individual in any competition is weird, IMO. And very American. Oh well, each to his own.
That's not how sport works, especially not tennis.
I'm sure there'll be a lot of Murray fans now he's in a grand slam final, that's the way it goes.
Actually I would have put my money on Nadal as he WAS the favorite, if that were true or did you forget that?
I didn't mean it as in, Murray beat Nadal so now he's the number one in the world, I'm not 12.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense, maybe it was because they were the only team on over here in the 90s, anything wrong with the fact that I grew watching them. I didn t go to Chelsea when Roman came, nor will I ever go elsewhere.
And what the feck do you know about being American. Well I guess it would be very British of you to be supporting the loser.
But i thought scousers and chelsea were still convincing themselves that Barnsley were Champions league contenders?I didn't mean it as in, Murray beat Nadal so now he's the number one in the world, I'm not 12.
Total destruction.
Unlucky Judy.
Man v boy
2-6 5-7 0-3 so far. Federer has been amazing to be fair.
Murray's given up now, i'd be knackered too after that match with nadal. Was tired just watching it.
another break
He's taken him apart in this final set
Murray falling apart. Abominable body language. Training session for Roger.
How gutted does Nadal feel now. Would it be mean to want a 6-0?
Federer killing off the match ruthlessly.
Match time 1:37!!
Federer's volleying is, for the zillionth time, shocking. Allround player my arse.
Its hard to compare Tennis to team sports anyway for me, its not like following a teams specific style, traditions, history etc and being attached emotionally. People are more fans of tennis as a whole and follow the players from their country more closely. You dont have to necessarily support the underdog, especially with the type of tennis Federer has played in this tournament over the years and the slight problems he has had lately.
