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?

We won't get points docked. If today's game is postponed and they even give a win to Liverpool (which I don't think they will), who cares really? We are safe in TOP 4. This thing is bigger than 3 points and we surely now got a lot of attention from the media.
Even if we get docked points, barring a huge collapse we still finish top 4 and we have the EL. The worst to come out of this is Glazers not getting a few more quid for us finishing 2nd.
But the publicity on a Sunday would be great for damaging our image with sponsors and making the leeches think about selling.

I received a text from MUST at eleven this morning about the protest. I know they wouldn't want the protest advertised everywhere well in advance, but I couldn't get along at such short notice.
Great work, just as long as it's peaceful, civil disobedience against the Glazers if justified.

Some media outlets are taking part in the Social media boycott, therefore they're unable to twist how the protests are reported
This is beautiful. I love this.
Well done to those fans that attended. If any on here were part of this, or any of them happen to be reading this thread, well done! I'm with you in spirit

A few princesses on here won't like that
Who the feck cares. We need the Glazers gone. This club is going nowhere with them. They are cancer.Yeah but then Liverpool will benefit
Easiest joke to make but gets me every time
That's true.
Eh, not a fan of them going onto the pitch but it sends a message at least. Will be annoyed if the game gets cancelled and/or we get docked points as you're then hurting the team and players rather than just owners. But hard to separate that as it's connected.
Good thing DvB wasn’t in the protest, poor fecker wouldn’t be able to even get on the pitch that way.

Short notice. Was planned for 2 weeks
Give a team in need the points like Fulham or Brighton
So who is going to replace them who can spend the sort of money to get us level with City? I do want them gone by the way.
Yeah. I watched the same. Even though most are peaceful, there are a few (just a few) thugs who did some damage to the media coverage area. I hope the internal facilities of the stadium won’t be damaged by them.
You’re right, They should have stayed home and posted hashtags on twitter!!
They're already leaving. In any case good on them.
People complaining about protesting in front of team hotels or team buses are wrong. You protest where the cameras are - where you can make the biggest noise and reach the biggest audience. That's how your message gets heard and thats when commercial partners will start paying attention.
People worrying about matches being called off or points deductions are wrong too. Seasons, points, even managers and players come and go but a club and it's supporters are bigger than any of those.

Read on twitter that fans are now leaving the stadium.
Just imagine the owners having that thought in their head before every game, they will feck off soon if this carries on.
Why are they all focusing on that corner, is that where the TV cameras are? Unless it's the area Ed and the Glazers if they were there would sit?
Guessing the police will be sent to remove them all....
It's been spoken about for a long time eg walking out of games, they've picked a good one to protest at
The owners won't care, as the club will still make them money

Inappropriate Behavior
Looks like it being a keyboard princess from near the ground can't be bothered to go and then complain about the people that have
Protestors have been on the pitch for an hour and Ole still hasn't made a sub!
Great photos, those.
This never stops being funny, and can be applied to literally anything that happens, whether in football or outside of it
I think this is a bit more long standing than ESL plans dear.
Love it, well done, even made the news
Why do SKY keep thinking this is solely down to the ESL ?
Executive boxes and players tunnel
Is this attitude really necessary? Youre not replying to Joel Glazer ffs

Should dock us 10 points , feck the Glazers.
I wonder if they’re leaving because they know Sky news have covered it now.

I've just said that. This is a long hatred. Sky just don't get it.
