More like 'Sunny Island' apparently

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?

Agree with everything. Also, first time that we have one manager for so long and it looks like we're on an actual upward trajectory and not begging to be over.
He needs backing.
Blame Jonathan Wilson.
His whole tenure has been people just waiting for him to fail. I'm glad the board aren't as reactive as some of us fans, including me.
There seems to be a real harmony with the group and that tells with our coming back in games.
He's done really well this season.

That post match interview was fecking hilarious.
Brilliant.Sarcasm, a bit of anger and lambasting an opposition player for being soft. Now Ole looks like a proper United manager.
Think we've had quite a few 1-0 wins as well? And a few one goal wins.
And your games for City don't add up?
Skjær is a reef, so sunny reef.
That’s brilliant. Anderson would be a superstar playing for Ole.
We've also been on the end of some terrible VAR decisions. The decisions against Sheffield United arguably cost us the game, and West Brom's goal shouldn't have stood, to name two. Yes we've had poor performances, but every team has poor performances, these marginals really don't help. I couldn't say City don't deserve to be top this season, they've been the best team no doubt and will rightfully win the league, but we've improved and are clearly the second best side in the league. Absolutely no doubt about that imo.
Well google translate backs up Wilson.
Are there any Norwegians that can clear this up? It'd be brilliant if it actually meant sunshine
I am Norwegian!
But a skjær may also be a small island.
Skerry or skerries. That is the most accurate translation of skjær. So, sun skerries. Probably.
Oh right sorry mate.
It can be translated to a reef. It can be translated to the English word sheer. It can be translated to light.
I am swedish and had 0 clue about the meaning of that Norwegian word. You think it should be similar.
Only if you separate the words Sol and Skjær.
Combined it is an actual word used in (older) literature, meaning (dim) sunshine.

As for the origin of the family name I would guess it might have a reference to an area with sunny skerries. But that's just a guess on how most family names are based on either professions or the area the family hails from.
Skjær = skjär..? Pretty similar
Whatever it means, he's got that shine.
Yeah as a small island that make sense, but as sunshine I did not know.Skjær = skjär..? Pretty similar
On a more serious note, are we going to set up a GoFundMe so his son can eat?
Today he was very good. He got everything right.
His oldest is back in Norway playing football now, so the Norwegian Government takes care of him if Ole doesn't feed him. The youngest, in Manchester, Marcus will take care of.
Should have read 23 City wins not 25. Edited now.
Yes united had but pointing out not all City victories was 3 or 4-0 strolls as some in the media try to make out
Certainly the luck was not on Uniteds side in those games v West Brom and Sheff United and City got a few wins from a dodgy VAR decisions this season.
.
Phew, I was worried. I hope Jose reads your post to put his mind at ease too.
Did Ole say we shouldn't be cnuts?
Ah it's an empty threat anyway. He knows Rashford will take care of it
Yeah, wasn't picking, just commenting.
Those 5 lost points would make it a 6 point gap and could have been a race. City better team over the season but decisions like we've had and theirs (i.e. Villa) do leave a "what could have been" annoying doubt
Ole is finally over being happy to be here. Good shit, Son deserves it
Is that how Ole manages us. Stop giving our young players food? Lingard with some extra food and drugs doing much better.
Nah he'd still be the fat kid in school hiding chocolate everywhere then sneaking while Ole's not looking
. Loved Ando, real shame for him that he couldn't stay fit.Tweet

His post-match comments were brilliant.
Skerry and skjær is the same, and a skjær in Norwegian is a part of land smaller than an islet but large enough to be above sea level at all tides.
I've always imagined solskjær to be some Skerries often bathed in sun which then named a place or a farm close by.

I think we dropped out of title race too early simply because our midfield lacks expected depth. Matic ages faster and VDB does not adapt well. Our rotation in those games did not have needed intensity and athletics. This summer we can get it right.
I do not think so. I think Ole realized that this was a game we had to win. He changed his tactics today. You can see that AWB kept going forward and also that Fred kept pushing forward. I think Ole decided that AWB can handle the pace of Son and Maguire and Lindelof can handle Kane if the break.
I am talking about our performances after topping the league in Feb. you probably read my post way too fast.
Anyone who still feel our football is similar to Jose's football is just trolling at this point and this is coming from a person who feel our football needs improving even further. That performance was amazing. Full marks to the team and Ole. Again showing how much unwanted abuses he gets.
