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?

Do you think Wenger has no say on the transfer dealings in the club? Do you think the club would buy/negotiate for players Wenger doesn't want?
Wenger was on the interview panel when they were hiring Gazidis for feck sake.
That's one of the big issues at Arsenal, Wenger has a hand in everything. He has a real problem with delegation.
He'll be the one asking for Martial.

At that club? Probably.
Maybe he'll paramotor into the stadium.I have a cheeky feeling this will be announced (by reputable sources) during tonight’s game
Actually this is quite likely based on some Arsenal fans working for the club. Both Lucas Perez and Gabriel Paulista are probably non-Wenger buys. It's also likely that Elneny is not a Wenger buy either but a stat-DNA buy. Some transfers are specifically scouted by Wenger, while others are scouted by others and he agrees once all the work is done.
No. That's not bargaining.
If I go to a shop and piss off the seller with a complete unreasonable offer, he will be angry that I don't take the negotiation seriously. A pissed off seller will be more difficult now to negotiate to even a reasonable price.
You think it is as easy as just leaving Smalling and Mkhi at the door? They have to want to go there too you know? We can't just rock up, drop em off and leave with two new toys.
Maybe we can drive to the woods and leave them there.
Smalling's been good for us and Arsenal don't deserve him.
Of course. What guarantee would he have of getting those at city instead of united? Beyond a PL medal they won without him?
Can't blame Arsenal for trying for Martial, if true.
It's a waste of time obviously.
Di Marzio will be the one to say it's all agreed or otherwise before anyone else. Calling it now.
No. Miki and Smalling dont read the caf and hence believe they are actually capable of doing something better than moving to a lower placed team in trouble.
I reckon the deal is done and Alexis will skydive into OT at halftime tonight, run a lap of honour high-fiving everyone in the front row, then be raised up on a hydraulic platform with copious amount of pyrotechnics and dry ice cannon's blasting as ACDC rings out.
Then the 2nd half'll start.
Then the 2nd half'll start.
Wenger is like a poker player who doesn't quite understand the game
Just catching up with the news for today and it looks like this is nowhere near as sure a thing as made out yesterday.
It's stupid IMO. Just like their turning down of £60m city bid in the summer
spot on. What an idiot he is. The Martial thing is a waste of everyones time not to mention the scattergun approach they seem to be adopting to replace him.Getting rid of Smalling for Sanchez would be silly. Regardless of what people think of his ability, he's our most reliable CB, and he'd leave behind CBs who are either out long term, constantly in and out with injuries or still playing their way to fitness after a long injury. And Lindelof. Smalling is crucial right now given the fitness of everyone else before you even talk about ability.
Why are the clubs so stupid ? Inter wanted 45m + Martial, Spurs 20m and now Arsenal swap for Sanchez who has only 3 months left. ( i wouldnt consider if sanchez had 3 years never mind 3 months)
Obviously the sevilla loan thing !
Martial is staying. Period !

Martial?! Have they lost the plot? I wouldn't trade Martial for Sanchez + Ozil becuase they're both on EXPIRING contacts. FFS Arsenal just take the money

Arsene must think the Amazon vouchers he had for Christmas are magic.
Honestly just wish we’d announce it. Phone battery is dying at a rapid rate due to the constant refreshing of this thread and twitter!! Even my 2 year old is getting fed up of it now
I'd guess that if there was a suggestion made about Martial it involved Alexis and money rather than a straight swap.
Could you imagine the meltdown if we let Martial go. One of my favourite players
He'll be announced by being in our starting 11 today
I seem to remember this guy being a total knob during the Lukaku saga. Still is. If I had a quid for every pixel in that picture, i'd barely have enough to buy the bottle of wine.
£40m + Miki - is that the latest rumour?!
Glad to hear that from Martial
He was massive in breaking the Lukaku story wasn’t he?
Wenger's approach seems to be more stupid than Moyesies when he was here. Which is quite something when you think about it
Yeah, something like Iron Man 2.
