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.

It’s beyond me mate, the only people who don’t understand this are Glazers.
Steve from Liverpool writes
“If today’s riot had have happened at Millwall/Chelsea or, god forbid...Anfield – the reporting (sic) would have been 180 degrees different. By the way – any news on the Liverpool team? Sky were camped outside the vastly overrated Lowry weeping for their team inside. They never showed the slightest interest in Liverpool FC. Disgusting bias dominating English football, on and off the field, for the last 40 years.”

This needs to be stamped on the home page.
The club being loaded with the debt and the taking of 2 billion are the ones from that list that matter. These are the things that have meant we haven’t been able to massively outspend our rivals, as we should be able to.
We wouldn’t need them to actually put any of their own money in. Transfers should come from club revenue. Problem is Glazers spend revenue on interest and dividends.
We just want someone who will stop crippling our club’s obvious and pretty unassailable revenue-generating advantage.
We have spent money, wherever it came from, however it has been spent incredibly badly, because instead of having a football man involved, they let their lackey and his mates deal with everything.
It's kind of weird how the staff has really let themselves down on this point. How hard is it to make a sticky with the below-
-and then state a policy where if a person posts anything along the lines of 'but the Glazers have spent so much for us' they're permanently banned.
It's flirting with the ludicrous that there are still people who make that kind of post. That's how misinformation survives and spreads.
Talk shit then don’t reply, typical.
I misread your question as "how much have United spent?" Glazers haven't put the penny in the club, no, that's common knowledge. Whether an owner should be expected to do that is another matter, ideally the club should be able to generate enough revenue without needing a sugar daddy owner. There's no denying Glazers have leeched the club, though. I never argued that they didn't.

It was the Tuesday (17th), 48 hours after the Sunday (15th).
I'd misremembered as being the day after so had to look it up.
No chance by the look of it.
Even the bomb scare year was 2 days, and that was an obvious mistake, not tonnes of fans causing it.
They'll move that Brom game forward a few days and have it 15/16th May
Or you could just watch a regular movie as this protest has nothing in common with those movies, slick attempt though.
Steve obviously doesn't realise that Liverpool were totally inconsequential in today, as their hotel wasn't being bombarded!
You said they’ve spent 1.3 billion come on pal.
Good god.
I said we, as a club, have spent 1.3 billion pounds on transfers over 10 years. Like I just said, I misread your question to mean what have the club spent rather than the Glazers themselves out of their own pockets (which, again, I don't think is fair to expect, although it is fair to expect them not to suck as much money out of the club as they have).
Okay mate if you misread what I wrote then fair enough I don’t want an argument.
Is there a time by which we will know when the game will be rescheduled?
Makes sense, I imagine the PR team will be looking to float some positive stories out into the media this week to try and calm things before the game is actually played.
A mate just said there's talk of 3pm tomorrow. But no idea if this is random nobber fans, or any legit journos...will try and find out.
Bet365 seems to think it's 3pm tomorrow too. Not sure how reliable that is
If you get any definitive news can you tag me please mate? Line of duty on in a bit.

That is very interesting...as why would they think that?Bet365 seems to think it's 3pm tomorrow too. Not sure how reliable that is
Yeah but it’s all relative.
The Glazers effectively are the club as long as they own it, in the sense that there is no real distinction between the club doing something or the Glazers doing something.
The club has spent a lot of money on players over the last ten years, we all know that. The club could have spent nil. Or could have spent double what we spent. As it is, the club spent more than everyone bar City.
The real point is that the amount taken out by the Glazers on interest and profit has “prevented” the club from spending in line with its potential relative to the amount of revenue we generate. In other words under the right ownership we could (and would) outspend everyone.
Bet 365 have it as 3pm tomorrow. Very interesting for them to add it. Surely they've not just gambled!?If you get any definitive news can you tag me please mate? Line of duty on in a bit.
Somebody posted a screenshot in our group chat earlier, but all the other bookies don't have it listed. Looks like a cash grab keeping the market open to me.
Not a chance they’re announcing when it’s been rescheduled to until after Line of Duty.. and to be honest, I don’t blame them
it would be fair to expect most owners to fix the leaky Old Trafford roof.
Just talking about the issue of either a. supporters believing the Glazers are mega-billionaires who've pumped several billion of their outside wealth into the club, or b. negative actors being able to come to a forum like this and claim so, thereby creating confusion.
We’d still go behind early.
Thousands of people at a protest and 2 coppers got injured, put 5000 people in a field with no protest and I guarentee you more than 2 people will be injured.
Sky reporting: MAN UNITED FANS ATTACK POLICE!
Christ who writes this shite, Glazers spend more on PR than they do our roof.

Oh. Amazing if anyone thinks that!
Must be a lot that goes into organising a game, cos I don't really get why a) they couldn't have had it tonight at 8pm (unless the pitch is really that bad?) or b) they can't just have it tomorrow lunchtime/afternoon
Not sure what they are basing that on, but tomorrow is still the most likely day. The schedule for rest of this season is otherwise filled.
The only thing I can think of are the Covid bubbles and restrictions and how the stadium invasion has disrupted that. Could they not just have dual games on MNF? Surely that's plenty of time to Sanatise....... Depending on how much the Glazers are spending on it, oh wait.
Especially when they said the players were getting driven back to the ground to get their cars anyway!
Couldn't have been that much security risk by then!
Perhaps there’s Covid protocols in place due to touch points - more likely is that the teams are so well prepared they have food etc at a certain point before the match to give them maximum energy levels and it just messes with preparation too much.
I expect it's just a place holder on the site. The 3pm bit makes me think that as you never get 3pm Bank hol games do you?
I don't think tomorrow is at all likely now, it's 10.30pm now. If clubs/media had been told it'd have been leaked by now, and they'd need to know already so players rest/eat right etc.
It'll be May 15/16th, and move Brom v Pool to 12th. Simple as that unfortunately.
