Rubbish from Torres. Into the stands.

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?
It was a second yellow.
City should've had two blatant penalties.
Ridiculous red card decision by the ref. Borderline foul, at worst.
Owen, Hargreaves and Savage. What a selection
Was a sec yellow . Still harsh .
Guardado out, he was just coming back from injury.
Koke has been awful. Not just today.
Atletico lack the creativity of someone like Carrasco today, especially with PSV defending with nine men in front of their goal.
Good save from Hart.
I blame Griezmann's hairstyle for that too.
What a miss by Yaya.
Yaya puts the ball wide .Easier to score.
Awful miss from Yaya.
even Torres is letting me down. Maybe Lestienne could change teams for the last 5 minutes?
Sucks to hear that. He's limited ability but versatile in positional play and always works very hard. Hard not to like the guy. Hope its not serious.
As long as numerical advantage is maintained i'm all for it.
Atletico are not that great.
He is coming back from an injury , thats why he got subbed .
Atletico's display after going a man up has been pretty underwhelming. Don't they realize the importance of that away goal?
This will make things extremely uncomfortable for Atletico in a few weeks time.
They really arent comfortable when asked to break teams down.

Oh i thought he got subbed because of an injury.
Brilliant goal. Build-up and finish.
Yaya makes up for the really bad miss. Superb goal.
yaya 3:1
3-1 City, Cakeman scores.
I hope PSV go through. Atletico are so ugly to watch.
Kiev should have taken their chances. Got to be over now after that. Nice shot
Toure scores. How many are going to bother turning up for the return leg?
Kiev are horrific. Nice goal though.
Good result for PSV. Obviously going over to Vicente Calderón and holding a draw there is going to be their hardest trial yet.
Also, I think he's easily the most skilled player for PSV. He has great vision of field. On top of being really hard working. Of course, this isn't as visible on big CL matches, but at Eredivisie level I'd say he is.
I don't think he's re-injured. I meant he didn't play all 90 because he was just coming back from injury.

Atlético a real disappointment tonight. Nothing about them going forward here.
PSV could make things very difficult for Atletico if they manage to score an away goal, unfortunately I can't really see them scoring in Vicente Calderon. Atletico will probably scrape through with a 1-0 win or something like that, very uninspiring performance from them tonight though. I won't be surprised to see another 0-0 at Real this weekend.
I hope Atletico go out. They had an incredible opportunity here and wasted it by passing it around and attacking half-heartedly. Deadly boring team to watch.
PSV will score from a set piece. Atletico needing two with their shit attack b
In all fairness City performed really well tonight and for a first leg in a European tie it was a great game to watch, not cagey at all.
Shame it has to be City doing, ultimately a English team doing well is well needed help to our PL champions league places, aslong as they don't win it.

Oh i see. Its good to see him doing well. At Valencia he was more of a hustler so that was what i was thinking of.
fair play to City , no easy going to Kiev and winning and scoring 3 goals.
He's played all over the pitch. For Valencia he was mostly played as left-back. Before that he used to be a left winger for Depor.
I'd say he's found his best position as either deep-lying playmaker or left interior for PSV and Mexico.
Well obviously Bayern's achievements have not been as impressive as Barcelona's. Behind Barcelona, nobody won the CL more than once for about a decade but they reached three finals and more impressively for me at least, reached a level of dominance that they exerted over fellow top teams that we just do not see that often if ever. The way they performed in supposedly big games against the likes of City or Arsenal has been quite simply extraordinary. They haven't complimented it with more CL wins which is why they are behind Barcelona but out of the chasing pack, they are comfortably on top when you take the past 5 or 6 years.
