In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Have you watched United Lately?I don't remember seeing a top flight side being this hilariously inept at doing even basic defensive stuff
Spurs were 2 points behind us when Jose took over. They are now 5 points ahead. Although we have a game vs Chelsea in hand. Jose will have the last laugh.
More pressure on Ole now to get 3 points against the rent boys tomorrow
What do you think about Mourinho so far?
Thats because Jose is a much better manager in every respect compared to Ole, bet Jose is pissing himself now
How can anybody forget Derby County and thier 11 pointsI don't remember seeing a top flight side being this hilariously inept at doing even basic defensive stuff
This is the endless excuse as to why Spurs do well. Spurs only reached the CL final through "luck". Spurs only finish in the top 4 through "luck".
There comes a time when the whining about "luck" has to stop and some other explanation is sought - maybe that Spurs are better than you credit.
As I said earlier, Villa made the mistake of trying to go toe-to-tie against us. And the only reason Villa didn't lose by more was because their GK had a worldlie.
He is doing well. So far so good, turning around our season without a doubt
Rough on Villa, thought a draw was a fair result, Grealish and Reina both had great games. Aurier should of had a yellow first foul of the match.
What is Engels even attempting to do there?! The mind boggles
Interesting. I have thought you were not playing well, and are playing more defensively and with long balls.
It might be I haven't seen many of your games.
Got to agree.
A missed opportunity for United.
Spurs season ticket holder in one of my groups said "we're awful and keep winning 
"
They've had quite a few wins under Jose where they have largely been poor but end up winning, not sure their good fortune will continue though.
I fancy Leipzig to knock them out in the CL and hopefully the wheels start falling off.

How did Bergwijn do today? Saw he created a pen.
Funny, I thought Villa looked the better side throughout. Both teams squandered chances but I thought Villa looked in control overall.
We are playing better than we have for a while and most importantly we are getting results. It's far from the finished article and we will need a few more players but we are going in the right direction. Jose hasn't put a foot wrong so far.
He was very good I thought. Has impressed me in the two games I've seen him. Very quick, strong and good passing in the final third.
Its ridiculous to think our inept board wont try and rescue our season by getting rid of Ole who has shown nothing as a manager to get us even back to playing champions league football let alone win league and cup titles but spurs took the risk of sacking a highly regarded manager in potchettino who had guided the club to a champions league final only the season before and it looking like a decision that will pay off for them.
Called it on 80th min. Spurs to score(Son) as Villa are so inept at basic defending!!!!
That's good to hear and yeah that sounds like Bergwijn.
How many times has Son bailed them put this season? Feels like every week.
There's a difference between "control" and being a goal-scoring threat.
When you look at the saves that Reina made - and had to make - compared to Llloris, it's pretty clear to me that Spurs were the more potent attacking force.
And one of the Villa goals was an own-goal from Spurs. Or to put it another way, Spurs scored 3 times as many goals than did Villa players (or 4 if you count Alderweireld's og
).Villa could have perhaps gotten a draw if they'd played a more conservative, less open game. But playing an end-to-end, open game generally suits Spurs very well.
Really top player. He has taken on the goalscoring role while Kane is out.
Very rarely has a bad game and always works his socks off.
Fantastic attitude as well.
Yeah most of us have no problem admitting who the better manager is. Ole is that shitty spouse that allows your ex to win the break up..in the short term anyway
I notice the Emirates is half empty, maybe the fans are not really buying into this new era nonsens.
Wheres all the Arsenal supporters?
That is what Jose Mourinho knows how to do best. Win ugly. He is the most effective manager in world football at that. If Mourinho was in charge in last season champions league final, Spurs would have most likely won. Even though, he wouldn’t have reached the finals if he had control of that team.Spurs season ticket holder in one of my groups said "we're awful and keep winning

I am sure that he would say that that was the nicest thing anyone has ever said about him.
Fantastic to hear Alan Green back on radio 5. Head and shoulders better than anyone else. Makes the game come alive.
No team had control of that game. I know it wasn't you saying it but I though I'd chip in. That was a wild west shootout and the right team won in the end.There's a difference between "control" and being a goal-scoring threat.

Just have a look at the Xg and take in the stats tab too, 2.53 expected points for Spurs - https://understat.com/match/11894
Xhaka
Death, taxes, Xhaka yellow
Must be frustrating having that muppet in your team knowing he's a mandatory walking yellow card in every game. Should have been booked again for the sarcastic pat on the referees back.
Xhaka booked, but will commit 5 yellow card worthy fouls later on
Newcastle creating some good openings.
On their 'winter break'.
You could make a Youtube highlights compilation of Maximan that would make him look Messi-esque.
Then you watch him for a full game and realise it's all sizzle, no steak.

So are the players by the looks of things.
Arsenal are such a bad team. I bet they will go for another draw here. lets say 1-1?
You're not wrong, but then again if it were me and 10 mates against villa we'd also have been the more potent attacking force
Kinda hard not to be when villa went out of their way to set you up with huge chances again and again, and again. And again. And again...
