In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

First name that came into my mind when I read that bit was Torres
I love seeing big money signings flop too. Just the nature of being a football fan I guess. Watching a big signing flop is just as fun as watching opposition teams lose.
From superp to good. Which roughly translates to „from good to average“ for non-Portugal/Real supporters I assume.
Single handedly carrying them to the title that man. la
This is the beginning of the season.
Dunno, I can see how it can be very easy to dislike him as an outsider. I didn't like many of his antics either tbh, but he's a legend for us and it would be a bit painful to see him flop. I think it's going to take a bit longer to adapt to his new team after playing for us for so long. But I'm sure once he finds his boots he'll tear it up again. I doubted him last season aswell and was very wrong in the end, so I'm not doing that again.
Oh, but yeah, you're a dick.
I don't know what they would do without him.

Mine was Morata. Even though I really rate him.He's not very attractive. Way too shiny everywhere.

I don't think he's been good at all bar that 1st game even disregarding his lack of goals.
He's been plainly average.

Goat debate settled, they lose this game without CR0
He's gone through similar patches with us in the last two seasons, and occasionally in some of the previous ones as well. He's still shooting a lot, the goals will come
As for whether he can keep up the 1:1 ratio, that will depend on much juventus and allegri will pander to him. Juventus rarely do true blowouts.

First game was great, the other two were okay maybe. The goalkeepers and players look very motivated to stop him from scoring.
I never said he was superb though. In fact, I literally wrote the words ‘it wasn’t superb’.
Before trying to dismiss my opinion, you should try to learn how to read first. Still waiting for one comment replying to me here to actually talk about anything I’ve said that’s football related rather than angry comments telling me how biased I am made by even more biased people.
You’re so much against the biased opinions of Portugal/Real fans so I’m sure you have a lot of problems with the biased opinions of pretty much everyone else since there are a whole lot more people wanting Ronaldo to fail than there are people that want him to succeed. In fact, if there’s one athlete in sports history that has that big of a disparity between people wanting him to succeed and people wanting him to fail, it’s Ronaldo. So if there’s been one athlete in football history that’s been constantly downplayed by unfair and biased opinions, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
And yes, it was a good performance tonight.

It's crazy how many defenders he takes away and creates room for the likes of Mandzukic.
Another good performance for him. Age doesn't phase him. GOAT.

Last season I mean.
It is not jealousy. He is fantastic player. Nowhere near messi or maradona but still great player, in top 10 in history. But first of all he is diving prick and egomaniac on the pitch. I can't love that kind of player. And i just can't understand why united fans are obsessed with him and why they like him so much after the way how he left. Modern slave statement and blackmailing fergie are still in my mind. And he got applause when he came with real and now he will get it with juve.
I hope lying to yourself will make you feel better.
Starts in the last 4 seasons of Cristiano Ronaldo:
- 15/16: 5 goals in the first 7 games, all in one game;
- 16/17: 1 goal in the first 4 games;
- 17/18: 1 goal in the first 8 games, 0 in the first 3;
- 18/19: 0 goals in the first 3 games
If he was still at Real nobody would think this is wierd

I think he wil be the top scorer
He’s looked worse and worse by the game but to his credit he had the same thing happened last season and turned it out.
However, not having the greatest midfield in the world behind him is going to make this a lot tougher this season.

Mandzukic is the one carrying the team so far, his great state of form from the end of last season and the World Cup has continued and he's the deciding factor in Juve's attack. And no, it's not because of Ronaldo creating spaces, but because Mandzukic is that good, just look at the World Cup, his return leg vs us last season or his goal in the final two years ago. What will be interesting to see is how Dybala is introduced into the team because that could unsettle the balance of the side, especially if a defensive player has to make way for him...
No really, what is your story here? You are winding people up or you are blind or you are just deluded?
I remember people calling him done this time last year as well, I suppose they will eventually get it right and then say I told you so.
Could it be that Ronaldo's only motivated for CL & high-profile matches nowadays?
There were people calling him an average donkey when we were linked with him.
People said he would stuggle but he has gone to Italy and done exactly what he did at Real every year - fail to score for 3 games! Suck it haters our boi is on top again, I bet you feel silly now. Get in, loss can be a win, 5 times, goat, £400m transfer kitty, etcetera.
I thought he had a good game despite not scoring so I was surprised to see the reaction of people on here. The way he's played in the first 3 games in Juve's shirt, he hasn't played like that for Madrid for about 5 years. He was deployed wide left and was running with the ball at speed, attempting take-ons, trying to cut inside to shoot, etc. He maybe tried too hard at times but physically he seems to be in great shape. Juve just can't seem to create very good chances with donkeys like Khedira and Matuidi in midfield while Pjanic sits so deep and is mostly pedestrian. He's gonna have to adapt or change his game up to somehow get goals regularly again.
Not my fault your boy’s a fraud, pal.
When you single handedly responsible for creating that player, you would jerk it off everyday.
Hmmm. Mine was Shevchenko.
Seeing a trend here...
"fraud" one who has conquered 2 leagues (as of now) and actually won something of importance for his country. But ya "fraud"
I hope to see all the same haters here in a few months.He's in the right colours. Every think is black and white with Ronaldo. When he's scoring, the "greatest of all time" arguments come out and when he has a poor run of form the overrated bragade turns up. Its so odd. Cant we just say he's obviously incredibly talented and has a lot left in the tank, but also a human and may be coming to the end of his run as a top player?
Or Shevchenko, it was the English record at the time.
Edit: beaten.
Single handedly as well?
Double handed with a high grade lubricant.
Gutted we didn’t bring him home. With this form and that price tag, he’d have been absolutely perfect for us in 2018.
A disappointing Ronaldo reunion would have been the shit icing on Ed’s shit cake.

There. I fixed it for you.
