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?
Rooney and those beautiful angled cross-field passes out to Valencia.
Cuauhtémoc Blanco
He frequently would use his back to control a long pass and to pass it to a teammate. He also did this a lot...

Big John Terry - Boning teammates' girlfriends
Denilson and dribbling. Found Darron Gibson distinctly average but he did have a good shot on him from distance.
Wiltshire at getting injured.
Shay given - shot stopping
Tony Yeboah - cross bar challenge

You posted a video of the one that everyone has seen and text of the one that is harder to picture
Incidentally I just came across this story on the Soccer AM Facebook page (Tuanzebe breaking the Guinness World Record in clearing Hungry Hungry Hippos in the quickest time), the first comment on the story floored me:
Hargreaves being really good at free kicks since it did not fit the rest of his game.
Matic at close quarters dribbling out of trouble. I think it's the only reason he is as good as he is
Jesus. No wonder the guy had balance issues for a while.
Crespo, Falcao and Icardi are so similar. Amazing at finishing, can’t do anything else.
Well, I couldn’t find a video showing just the back control, but it’s in here starting about 10 seconds in...
I’m sure he can do something with that weapon in the tweet above.
Michael Owen - dinking it over the GK while running fast
Both very true especially Denilson. Put Thomas Muller's brain in him and you may have had one of the greatest players ever.
Jamie Carragher - dishing out filthy clogging that the ref pretends he hasn't seem
Charlie Adam and corners.
Tony Adams - appealing for offside
John Terry getting away with everything he did as a cnut
Think Lahm was famed for his 'heel tackles' too.
Also shout out to Steven Gerrard and back-passes
Ji-Sung Park - running far
Bellerin - running fast
Müller - being in the right place at the right time
Adebayor - playing football at the end of his contract
Ashley Barnes - diving when recieving the ball in front of an opposing defender and getting a free kick from it
Ward-Prowse - set pieces
Young - nutmegs
Yerry Mina - scoring headers from set pieces

I'm straight as an arrow but even I'll admit that's worthy of it's own thread.
Robben cutting in from the right just outside the box
C'est Moi Cantona at misspelling Wilshere.
Ramos at being sent off.
Evra - almost falling over avoiding a tackle but somehow just about staying on his feet and in control of the ball.
Nile Ranger at getting arrested.
Gary Medel. Great for his country. Absolute pants at club football.
Fellaini has easily the best chest control I’ve ever seen.
On a punt from 60 yards big mo kills it stone dead on his chest.
He will proceed to misplace a 5m pass but to bring it down like that is immense.

Winston Bogarde at negotiating contracts.
Larsson and dead balls
Anderson using his ass to hold off defenders.
