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.
I wouldn't be against it. I thought that the fee for Richarlison was too much and he proved to me this season that it hasn't been. Lingard would be a good player for us, sure.
I hope to god kids ain’t wearing that shit
Fair enough, if you think he's good enough to replace one of your attacker.
Just curious. Who'd you be happy Lingard is replacing in Everton starting XI?

I feel his chain was a gift from Ole
I’m guessing there’s a billion twitter twats giving him shit over that necklace. Which they would have never even known about if he hadn’t taken the time to stop and take a selfie with a fan.
He’s not a bad lad Pogue, most fans love him for what he has done. It’s concern he is losing focus and falling in with the wrong element who aren’t up to his potential
At £45 a hoodie?
I get that. I just think the idea that Lingard is “the wrong element” is completely unfair, based on zero evidence that he’s in any way unprofessional. But we’re going in circles now. And I already said I’d take a break from this thread. So I should heed my own advice...
We are football fans. As such, of course we do not measure their success by how they compare with their blue collar neighbors. We measure their success by comparing them with other football players. And we judge them by how much effort and seriousness they put in favor of the club that is paying them millions.
The whole point of them being millionaire celebrities is that they are supposed to do superhuman stuff on the pitch. If they don't, it's only fair they'll be criticized. To accept that a player downs his tools and steals a living at their club is an attempt against the essence of football.
Let me do an analogy. I am a public servant. To work at my job I had to study for many years and defeat many competitors in a very, very difficult test. Does it mean I'm now allowed to rest on my laurels and suck at my job whilst collecting my fat paycheck every month? Of course not.
Again, caf posters having to resort to comparing Premier League players to other caf members to make a point. That says a lot.
I will compare an amateur with another amateur. I will compare Accrington Stanley players with players on the same league and salary range.
When you are a millionaire playing for one of football's Leviathans, it's only fair to be compared to other players of similar status.
And if your point is that we're angry because we don't want to be West Ham, then you're right. So would any fan of a major club. Go ask an AC Milan fan to see if they're not apeshit about their team.
Yes, they can ask their parents.
If my kid asked me a £45 jlingz hoody there are gonna be consequences and repercussions
Maybe you’re bigger child than your actual children then.
- you would happily pay money for a shit over rated 26 year olds fashion range for a 10 year old that knows no better?Comparing them to other Footballers and they still come out pretty well. And I really do not think they have rested on their laurels. Lingard has probably gotten the most you could have expected with his ability. Nobody expected Lingard to make it at Manchester United.
Come on you'll buy it at the end after you've made your point.He's more of a red than some of the deluded people on here hating on him
The little bastard will get an Eric top and better like it
Not necessarily. Not every parent is a yes man for their kids.
To other footballers as a whole yes. To footballers on other big PL clubs, no. Big no for Lingard, and a not yet for Rashford.
Ref. the rest on laurels thing. I really believe they are lacking a lot in ambition. There were several players that achieved a lot in a MU jersey with half the skill of Lingard. Playing for MU is an outstanding achievement, but once you do that the next natural step is being a serial winner with the club. Instead, these players seem to believe they achieved everything. That's where their attitude fails them, their employer, and their fans.
The fact these boys wear the shirt is making it to them these days
That attitude needs to die right quick
Why? What's the problem with Lingard having additional stream of income whilst he's famous and on the high - still playing in one of the biggest leagues?At least win 1 major trophy before you start acting like you've made it, wearing your pimp suits and necklaces
If the line is shit let the market decide - he'll close shop if it isn't selling.
Why does titles and accolades are even in the conversation. Salif Diao has a CL medal. Luke Chadwick has a PL medal. Do they "deserve" it more?
Didn't one of the Chelsea players, Lampard or Le Saux or someone, do a degree in Latin while they were playing?
Off Topic but the EL is such a nice looking trophy.
*Awaits obligatory snobbishness*
I pity the fool, whose freekicks never hit the target
I don’t want to preach but Ferguson told Rio Ferdinand who had “made it” to cut out all the shit with his merk videos. “Will it make you a better player” Rio listened.
So what all these muppets that are embarrassing us every week while our competition are still playing in major euro finals are correct?
I doubt if Lingard closes shop will turn to Ronaldo.
Both of them give their best when wearing the shirt when I see them on the pitch. When sometimes their best isn't good enough you can't blame social media for it.
I can understand if Martial was doing this, but not those two, that excess criticism looks bit off.
Rio had a clothing line, a tv show, a record label, a digital magazine and produced a movie during his time at the club. Wrong player to bring up here.
He also regularly won medals.
That's the difference. If we were winning laurel and Hardy could behave however the feck they liked and it wouldn't be a problem.
The little bastard will get an Eric top and better like it
With the collars up I hopeAre you saying Lingard has achieved Rio level or just bringing Rio into the mix to hide the fact JlingZ has blagged a wage at United?
I am just pointing out that all of the off the pitch activities Rio did did not effect what he did on the pitch and that Lingard's off the pitch activity is also probably not effecting his on the pitch performance. If you think Lingard is not good enough he is not good enough but it is not because of his clothing brand or what he does on Instagram or whatever.
Facts.
I have to say this guy does my head in. Maybe it’s the wrong thread but Jesus Wept. Feck me. Jaysus. Klopp. Feck me.
I guess you'll be sad to know Gomes considers Rashford his mentor. That darn Lingard is just ruining our youth isn't he?
So is Rashy and Jlingz together?
I say he's not good enough and also maybe he's off the pitch antics have effected he's game who knows. What I do know is that Rio, Becham or any of the others who had other commitments didn't let that effect there game as there record speaks for it's self. I think you can't compare what Rio did off the pitch with Lingard because Rio backed it up on the pitch and Lingard has become a bit of a laughing stock and it's effecting our youth players and I'd say it is effecting Rashford.
Manchested United (social media team) is not dumb enough to give his brand a platform on social media, if they didn't think that would benefit the club's social media presence.
If he or Rashy are showing up more often on the club media, then that is deliberate and sanctioned by the club.
