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?

I feel like when Moyes lost 2-0 to Everton and Moyes’ sack was inevitable. It was miserable but there was hope of a new beginning.
Can’t wait for the Van Gaal era.

Johnson's dad is going to be asleep in an hour, he sounds well pissed.
I can understand in a way people rightly or wrongly disliking Corbyn, but for people fully under the heel of a regime fully geared towards their continued annihilation and oppression, that's policies have killed thousands of people and will continue to do so in an ideological class war that they are winning and have been winning for decades to actively vote for them? that i cant understand.
The richest people didn't win this for the Tories, Danny 20k a year from swindon on a 0 hours contract did. I'm not sure how i can forgive that really.
Dreading to see the homeless people in our communities go from 3 on a corner to 5 then to 10, then back to 4 when they die.
Beggers belief, but hey ho enjoy brexit, feck brown people or something.
Tory logic
5 years of Tories though
A lot of people are out of touch it seems. It's a big problem going forward.

What has Watson got to be smug about? He’d have led Labour to even bigger disaster as he’s a straight up remainer.
Labour Lost because they weren’t a Brexit party. To win an election based largely on Brexit When people see you as a semi-remain party is extremely difficult when 270 of 381 constituencies voted leave. People just think of it as 48%vs 52%... but when you look at the actual number of leave constituencies, it’s a mountain to climb.
I’d agree with that if Moyes sacking was announced but part of his clause was that he had to remain manager for at least 5 years

perhaps everyone should get a pass tomorrow morning from the mod police?
In future, let’s have the polls close at midday, so that we are not viewing the results though a maze of corona (or drink of choice).
The state of that Lib Dem guy in Washington in his Xmas jumper.. 
The politically disenfranchised, the casual voter, New Labour voters who have had their heads turned by Tory rhetoric. Political apathy is rife in this country. We're a very small proportion of voters in comparison to the rest of the UK; we're educated on politics, we read about it everyday (my statement goes for anyone regardless of where they lie on the spectrum). Everyone else just sees the headlines and do other things in their spare time.
Right now the headlines are pro-Tory because the media machine will always attack the left. Because it goes against it's own self interests and preservation. You have two choices; play their game and nominate someone who is less extreme, or nominate someone who is less extreme who won't put off those casual viewers.
Momentum are too aggressive. It's either their way or feck you. I've been called a Tory by that brigade for fecks sake and I had interest in politics when they were still in primary school. They're deluded. The New Labour crew are as well. But until everyone stops trying to measure their political willies the party is going to be fecked.
Seeing so many people saying nothing should change in the Labour party, or at least pushing back against the idea they need a rethink, gives me very little hope.
The Tories are going to be in for a long time now. Even if they feck brexit, well when they do, people will buy their excuses and Labour still won't have their shit together.
This is worse than we realise right now. Imo.
George Carlin reference?
I actually think this will see the Tories remain in power for a very long time irrespective of who replaces Corbyn, don’t you?
Rinder making a good point now.
People need to step outside of their echo chambers and listen to others.

When's the ashfield result due
Jesus fecking christ, how many times?! Labour is a 65%+ Remain supporting party. How the feck would them supporting leave have handed them a win? Even in many of those labour leave constituencies a majority of Labour voters were remain.
This, it had nothing to do with labour being too left, corbyn was a factor, mainly from the media assault however. no labour leader other than blair was able to weather it as the torys couldnt present an option at the time so he had murdochs backing.
Labour could never win this election, doesn't matter if they were centre or left, or centre right, it was a brexit election and the vote was completely split in labour heartlands there was nothing to be done in hindsight.
Also, ca the lib dems and the greens feck off already? we dont have a proportional representation and all they do by standing in seats is put the torys in power, its a farce.
Not disagreeing, but that sentiment should have be done once the election was announced
Tony Blair's seat going Con....not much change there though!
Sky - Labour vote down in both Leave & Remain seats showing people voted against Labour on more than just Brexit
Weeeeeey
Yeah it’s not good. Personally speaking I don’t really have much to worry about, I’m on course to get a very strong first in my computer science degree and have two verbal job offers for when I finish, getting private health care as part of my contract shouldn’t be an issue either. I just can’t disconnect like Tory voters seem to be able to do. It’s just utterly shit and depressing that the wealth gap is going to grow and public services are going to be stripped back further and further.
I don't vote. Do you really think Tories get the bus?
I get the bus, the buses are shit, when they do turn up they are always jam packed. I don't want them to be even worse. That's the logic.
Do you get the bus?
This is the problem we face going forward.
People will just constantly push the narrative that this is all on Brexit. The labour party is fecked.

Bloody Swindon lot, obviously sent the worst ones.
Ah shit we drink the same thing, now we're technically married under Caf Law. But it also means I get half your stuff in the inevitable divorce, so that's good.
The mask slips there.
Are you really dense enough to think those buses would be even more rammed?
Do you honestly think under 25's avoid them now?
Stanley Johnson being a cnut on Channel 4, can't see him lasting much longer on this. He's winding too many folk on the panel and in the audience up.
Rinder nish and stanley johnson. What a combination!
It should have been. It won't be in the future.
But I wish people would think about it more though.
This was true up North in Blyth even. There’s the Brexit party factor too, but still.
The pound is up across the board. 12 month high against the US dollar.
That's what makes me feel bad.
how so?
