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?

The tinpot quadruple is on the line here lads...
Community Shield, League Cup, Grounds Team of the Season, and the Europa League.

The mickey mouse of mickey mouses treble!
I'm not going to declare LvG's time here a success. But now because there's no alternative and the media protect Mourinho suddenly the standards are lowered drastically. You're fooling yourself and your clutching at straws and you probably know it, I'm not going into all the stuff people here make up to make it look like he's done a good job. The man is not a guarantee for success, he has failed in Madrid, at Chelsea and now at United, in the old days he used to have something invincible about him and had his players play with all the confidence and prowess in the world, but I've seen nothing of that kind in this United team. It's over, he's lost what he had, and referees and opponents don't fall for the same mind games anymore either. The only ones who still do are the supporters who were expecting him to challenge for the PL this season since december '15. A sneaky, cheating win tomorrow won't change that.
You must be from rawk.
Why do you care so much?!
Because he is batshit crazy!
You randomly bring an FA Cup into the discussion, imply we need to win the Europa League to have a successful transfer market(?), state that someone who wins La Liga, Copa del Rey and makes the semi-finals of the Champions League 3 out of 3 times (first time in 6 years Real managed to do so) is a failure. Then you top it off by claiming his 3rd place finish with Chelsea, followed by winning the Premier League the next year is a failure too, despite the rather obvious and ironic fact that these results are better than anything your precious Van Gaal has ever done in England.
Did you say I'm the one clutching at straws?
Just feels numb to me now, win or lose.
Old habit.
I'm not going into the comparison here, the "signs of progress" topic is conveniently closed (and there are no borefest or shots on target topics anymore either). You suggested here that the Dutch media wanted to make Van Gaal look better by telling how bad Mourinho does, but we both know that's not how it works with Van Gaal and the Dutch media. And it's not all about England, especially not when it comes to the EL and the CL.You randomly bring an FA Cup into the discussion, imply we need to win the Europa League to have a successful transfer market(?), state that someone who wins La Liga, Copa del Rey and makes the semi-finals of the Champions League 3 out of 3 times (first time in 6 years Real managed to do so) is a failure.

Aditya.
At least @GlastonSpur applies logic sometimes.
Just get it done lads.
Must say,this is fecked up,i am in "try to sleep as much/long as you can so tomorrow comes faster" mode (not sure even if it makes sense).
My stomach hurts, already. Just win! Please. Just win. No matter how ugly.
Like a kid on Christmas eve... it will drag.
@SaintTresano and me are gonna watch the final. Hilarity will insue.
I think he will be happy if we lose.
And the fact that Ajax was a key team on the European stages, feeding the Dutch national team. They won the old Champions League from 70 to 73 and they did 2 finales in the 90s (1 won, 1 lost). It's a big name of football that represents the total soccer of that time, Barcelona wasn't like that until they had Messi and to a lesser extend, Ronaldinho.

So here in Holland football shows and a number of pundits getting carried away again as the Dutch like to do. THey hate Mourinho and they alk as if we have a team of dockworkers and that we have no clue how to play football and will be set up to defend and play hoofball.
Aad de Mos said a week ago that it's done, Mourinho's way of playing will play to Ajax's strength with their pressing game. Derksen and Gijp destroying Mourinho, biggest dutch newspaper guy A Valentijn Driessen wrote a column massacre-ing Mourinho with the headline "most arrogant disgusting manager ever", etc etc.
Tldr version: dutch think we are rubbish, are in buoyant mood, hate Mourinho's guts and his football, think ajax's pressing game will shit on us.

I love Dutch people, mad bastards.Well if the final against Southampton is anything to go by their pressing game will probably shit on us
Yup, most of my friends and relatives are so full of themselves now, all Ajax fans since a week. Mou is shite, United are playing shite football, Ajax plays the bests football on the world after Barca.
cnuts

Help me out here. Has any English side ever won all three euro trophies?
I we win tomorrow. I have a feeling we may be the first team to have won the European cup/Champions league, The cup winners cup, and the UEFA cup/Europa league.

I think Chelsea and Liverpool have.
Edit: Liverpool haven't won the cup winners. But Chelsea have won all 3. We wouldn't be the first.
Yes, exactly. The whole perspective of the season will be massively affected by this game. Win it, and there will be a feel-good factor running through the club and a great deal of optimism about next season. Lose and it will cast a bit of a shadow over the club, not exactly the end of the world but it might well impact hugely in terms of signing targets for the summer.This is what I'm fearing as well, United being more affected by the pressure of the situation than Ajax. Pretty nervous about the game already. So much at stake for us. Win, and it's a pretty good season. Lose, and it's a pretty terrible one.
It really is a huge game for United and I just hope the players and manager seize this opportunity on the day to get things back on track.
Shame
You haven't won the Eufa cup.
Indeed. I'm not religious but I almost feel like praying.
Yeah the Dutch are quietly confident, but we took Feyenoord apart earlier in the season, and they are currently above Ajax in the league.
Hence the "if we win tomorrow".
Such a big game. We need to get back in that champions league, and I hope if we do, everyone joins me in not being such a spoilt bastard and moaning at whatever the draw gives us!
What's this about a cow predicting an Ajax win tomorrow? Can we not kill it and give to our players as a pre match meal? That'll help.
