In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Walking Dead?!?! It had a great premise, a very strong start... then nothing but filler.
Season arc is;
AMAZING first episode, money spent on script writers, production, the whole 9
Weeks of filler where nothing happens
GREAT mid season cliffhanger episode, money spent everywhere again.
Weeks of filler where nothing happens
GREAT final episode, all of the monies spent again.
That's pretty much every season.
The missus is unwell asleep, not sure what exactly you're driving at here.
Watching your favourite TV shows with others was something I could never understand or do

The airplane accident was even more OTT.
Nah. Unless it's football, I can't. I even go to the cinema alone
I can't stand Skylar. I have to forward her every time she appears
Depends who it is, I watch most stuff with her.
There's not many shows where the main character's wife is not really irritating. Even in house of cards where I thought they finally cracked it with Claire, she was awful in season 3.
I have to say, even as a pacifist, I held out hope she'd get knocked off earlier in the series
Even annoying when she was on Seinfeld
I found that funny and liked that scene just cos of who it was aimed at.
Game of thrones
Sopranos

Today I learned that hte lead actor in Breaking Bad is the dad from Malcolm in the Middle... Why did no-one tell me before?! Am I the only one who never knew?
Anyway, it has me interested in watching the show. It's a good idea, right?

Yes, it´s a very good idea. In my opinion the first chapters are slow but don´t give up
It was only my two daughters told me that last week also and yes was unsure at the start but over the last 2 weeks got up to season 4. Let you decide for yourself but I can say really have got into it and enjoyed it.
One of the best show ever made.
It's on Netflix UK, right? If so, I'll start today 
You can binge it in a week or two
The premise behind it and with it being Hal sold it for me

It's a very good show, I preferred the first seasons which I found slower and more character driven, it then becomes more fast paced and events escalate, but it remains consistently good with some genuinely excellent episodes along the way. Bryan Cranston is brilliant in it.It's on Netflix UK, right? If so, I'll start today
Started well and got better and better, peaking at the end of season 4. The final season was only slight less brilliant.
Hard to pick between this and The Wire for best show ever.

Really? Season 1 was vaguely watchable but season 2 was so bad I stopped watching after 1.5 episodes.
I thought it was overrated.
The Wire, comfortably. Then Sopranos. BB is great but it's a level below.
I found it became a bit too "Mac Gyver" by the end, the first three seasons were great though.
I thought it was good. I like that kind of stuff though.
The acting is a bit meh but I can't help but want to know what happens next.
Comedy Central did a really cool little ad a while back of a mashup of MITM/Breaking Bad.
Reminded me of
I agree with the first line but have no such difficulties in the second.
Worth watching but I thought it was overrated. A lot of it is mind numbingly repetitive.
How it manages to get the same rating as Game of Thrones, I'll never know.

It's much better than Game of Thrones.
Most stuff is much better than Game of Thrones to be fair.
I don't get the reverance for The Sopranos. So repetitive, like a violent sit-com. I think there is an element of fantasist-appeal, as a lot find the gangster life seductive, but aftet bingeing my way to the end, I felt a bit "meh!"
Still, maybe BB appealed more because I looked a bit like the lead character.

They were so different that you can't really directly compare them imo. Both utterly brilliant in their own way.
I was a bit the same. Loved it apart from the end, which was an outrageous cop out, but not quite as good as BB or The Wire IMO
Are you talking about BB? Repetitive?
And I love GOT but I wouldn't rate it higher than BB or The Wire even if slightly above The Sopranos
I wouldn't even have BB in my top five.
A really good, fun show with a lot of great modern Western thriller elements, but I don't think there's anything particularly groundbreaking about it. It's ultimately just a really well made show with great cinematography and acting that's very, very silly, but it does the silly really well.
Not a patch on The Sopranos, The Wire, or Mad Men.
