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.
Good taste!
That offside decision is hilariously awful. I'm not sure which game we're playing anymore.
Fixing a direct competitors only weakness with our 3rd choice keeper
Trent has henderson and or fabinho to babysit him. Its clearly not just the system why hes so exposed
Yeah its no one is saying hes a bad footballer hes quality going forward, but cant defend at all.
UEFA have actually instructed otherwise, but here in England they still go by the arbitrary millimeter.
BT sycophants treating poor Klopp like his dog just died.
This BT interviewer is a joke.
I mean, that offside was a pretty poor call, but Pool would likely have lost that game had Robertson been rightly sent off for a kick out at Allan.
Richarlson was held before hitting the post. Most likely scores without being held.
It's an old joke from South Park, don't get all to pissy, i hoped someone would catch up on it. Welp bad joke day it is...
Far as i know it shouldn't matter. A dangerous, reckless challenge like that is a red regardless of the offside i think. If it isn't than that is a massive hole in the laws of the game
Liverpool now dropped as many points this season as they did for the first 8 months of last season.
Didn't know the league started from Jan
Very true and will be forgotten about!
The problem I have with this is - with the technology we have - it's not 100% on or off, as their is a margin for error.
VAR should take this into account, but doesn't.
I hate VAR, though. feck that plague on football.
I'm not your pal, mate
Ah come on! Pickford managed to injure one of Liverpools best players 10 minutes into the game in what was a clear cut red card challenge. It was a very weird game with some very, very odd decisions.
This game shoes how shit the caf scouts are.
Thiago and James were the best players on the pitch and many scoffed at these signing either for us or their respective new teams.

Is that the written law? Hmm, yeah then it’s a quite staggering call.
Still it’s Liverpool who suffered so I’m all good and it’s hilariously funny
But that was offside, they cant then go back and look at the pen shout when the phase doesnt count.
Daniel James looked excellent for us three games into last season mate. Lets see how James is doing mid way through the season, Thiago was a class signing, don't think many argued otherwise on here?
Most people could see Thiago was world class.
It shouldn't. It appears they didn't even check the challenge as they were too busy looking at the offside. Let's see if they look at it later.
Playing with Pickford is like starting 1-0 down.
Could it occur retroactively then?
Not sure about James, but I dont remember seeing anyone against singing Thiago and some of us were desperate for it. The only point against it was after VdB, we are now stacked in midfield.
so a very strange post
Thats not how it works. There was much confusion during the game on why Pickford wasn't sent off. The upshot was that VAR confirmed they didn't check the Pickford incident, they focussed on the offside and forgot to check Pickford. It was an oversight.
There's a rule that means players can still get punished while waiting for a free kick to be taken, this is how they punish challenges like Pickfords.
I doubt they will go back after the game and look at a non phase of play due to offside
This is football forum - online version of sports pub, not united board room
people will have spectrum of opinion about everything. Have fun with it.Offside is offside I don't know why we need to keep having this discussion there is no subjective opinion about it. Its an objective decision.
Why would they check anything after the offside ? Once hes offside the rest of play is null
Not really, many wanted Thiago, but knew he was bound for Liverpool.
That makes some sense.
Because otherwise pundits would actually have to discuss the game and they can't articulate thoughts on football besides referee decisions
People saying Richarlison is shit and the worst transfer ever, then being happy he’s suspended against us. Confused.
Nope. Dangerous play is punished regardless of wether the ball is in play or not
Unlucky you horrible, verminous, despicable creatures.
I wish we could have Pickford in goal right now.
