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?
This studio the ITV boys are in looks horrendous. Brazil was better, when they were practically on the beach.
Need translation.
Boooooo! I am doing it safely from my armchair.
Putin khuylo!
He was a doubt till he visited that hospital in the US.
Flipping the finger (called the stinky finger in Deutschland) not Robbie Williams
.... Can't recall presidents speaking before other opening games?
I for one welcome his cold, dead-eyed embrace.
Wtf is going on with the voice over
Should have brought his dogs along for a warmer image.
This guy could be saying the nicest things in the world but it sounds like he's giving a Liam Neeson style "skills that make me a nightmare for people like you" rant.

I would not want to be that referee tonight. One bad call against Russia with Putin watching.

For those who don't speak Russian he's just canceled the WC and declared death match between England and Russia.
Steep learning curve for this translator
This translator is cracking me up

Aww I miss that doughy blatter....
Lovely eyebrows. Top work.
Enjoy.
Translator sounded like Bane at points. Which may have been the vibe he was going for.
"… and lastly I would like to thank my friend and co-conspiritor Donald Trump and his wonderful family"
Needs Graham Norton on commentary until the game actually begins.
Infantino is a bellend
Putin: *record scratch* ...what will conquer Russia comrade?!
Emperor. You can hate him or love him but he is the man.
Some translation. Couldn't understand a fecking word.Who is this translator
Happened in South Africa. Sepp Blatter got dogs abuse.
Tbf this is the first opening ceremony I've watched at a World cup since 2002. Usually at a music festival at the start of these but put it back a week.
This is really cool actually. This seems like footage that we'll see in those really depressing documentaries in like 50 years time.
Would be so awesome if he just said "No WC, everybody go to your homes. We have serious things to worry about.
Oh my, Russia anthem coming soon, awesome awesome.
Mercifully, I've already forgotten everything about that opening ceremony.
