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 will be between Pool and City again sadly
Pathetic from Wolves. Everytime they got into their own half, they got a nose bleed and lost the ball.
fecking bastards.
That cnut Origi always comes up with the most crucial of goals, even though he’s an absolute nothing player 99% of the time. Bastard.
Could easily a title race similar to 2018/19
Also helps when you can foul and not get free kicks against you.
Wolves had that game if they kept their heads in the final third. Can't blame the result, good goal by Liverpool at the death
Awful defending from Wolves.
Our only hope is the African Cup of nations taking Salah away
Like someone said why can't Real take him off them like they did Ronaldo

They will 100% feck up his replacement, it’s just the way it goes. Same with us, same with Arsenal. Just have to wait it out until he leaves, I doubt he’ll do another 20 years like the old days. He’ll probably quit once his current crop need replacing, it’s really hard work building a title winning squad over and over again, it’s part of what made Fergie the greatest.
The force is with Liverpool this season, you can feel it.
Funny stuff.
Still don't understand how that scouse cnut Hoever fecked up that counter and then lazily let Salah in for the cutback.
That Jota miss is going to confuse me for a while.
That Klopp thread though where a portion of the caf were being delusional about Klopp even though he was obviously taking Liverpool on the right path.... what a scintillating manager he is.
Tactical fouling helps them a lot. Wolves couldn't break at all without Liverpool fouling. Modern football summed up.
You just know The Insurance Policy (City) will drop points now.
I think us replacing Klopp is slightly different to United and Arsenal’s situations. Klopp’s only been our manager for 6 years. SAF and Wenger were around for two decades (more in SAF’s case).
I think you could be right. Not quite as many points but close between the two.
Totally agreed.
That guy must be thinking he's the new Messi trying to solo all the way from his own half while there's a fecking obvious option to pass to right next to him all the time waiting but he refused to see it. His teammates and his coach must be furious. All the hard work for 90+ minutes went down the drain for that stupid wannabe showing off.
I fecking hate that type of player and if he's playing in my team I'd punch him right in the face after that.
There's no point getting too annoyed about it at this point. We did enough of this kind of stuff under Fergie, winners find a way to win.
That said, scouse fecking bastards.

Always felt Klopp could squeeze one more title out of this squad.
But City should walk the league because of their depth.
Origi's at the wheel?
Nearly two years ago to the day, Origi scored that winner against Everton
Ridiculous ending. Saints a man up due to injury, had a corner and didn't put it in the mixer even though CBs in box. Lack of killer instinct allows BHA to equalize, mostly due to 2 Ward-Prowse brain farts (bad give away leads to free kick at top of D, resulting kick pinballs & he runs to goal line, keeping Maupay on side for equalizer).
At least Saints got the draw for LMS
Maybe. The big problem is there isn’t likely going to be a better manager available, or even one anywhere near his level.
I switched off and went to snooker. Feck off Origi scored!?! Yayyyyygffghjjggfdrdfghjgfddddfffff!! Feck yavfeffgghffffhjjbbgf 
Scousers had to endure watching us do the same thing for years.
Seeing them win isn't in itself the annoying part, it's that we're powerless to stop them winning the league due to us being crap, and we have to rely on other rivals stopping them.

Yup . At the end if the day if they win 2 leagues and a CL under their greatest manager in 30 years that's fair enough. We got 13 titles 2 cls so they can always suck it.
Yeah, honestly it seems like the refs only employ the new interpretation of the rules on contact when they like and that new interpretation suits the gegenpress, which coincides with Liverpool going back to it this season. It needs to be more consistent though, City got pulled for contact relentlessly vs Villa 3 days ago where it felt like the game was reffed to last seasons rules, today was the opposite. Its the lack of consistency thats a killer.
The Wolves gk was on ice skates for the winning goal! He was in position to potentially block Origi's shot but he shuffled across to his right as he saw Mane go towards the back post and was then caught out.
Can't blame the Wolves left back as that was a really good ball by VVD, which gave Salah the chance to do something. His first touch was a bit heavy, but had loads of space to run after it and the fullback wasn't chasing him down.
Wolves loss moves United up the table due to a better GD.

This thing, this intangible thing they have, that enables to just keep going and going until the last second is the biggest difference between Liverpool and Chelsea.
We don't do it that much normally but it was blatant today. Hacked traore at every opportunity. Was like watching city when they lose the ball.
You do this season, you always did when you played the kinda heavy metal football, it was only really in your title winning season and last season you didn't, because for the most part the press was gone or used sparingly.
Its the managers, no disrespect, but Tuchel would never commit 8 men consistently forward in a game with so little on it at 0-0 in the 80th minute. Klopp will choose to live or die by the sword. Not saying one is better than the other, but its a difference in approach. You'd only see Chelsea do that when a goal down, or maybe in a must win league game. Klopp will go for the jugular almost every time. Like Fergusons United, they'll take a win and a loss over 2 draws (which everyone should). It pays off more than it would for anyone else because of the quality of their attackers. Salah was poor today but as soon as he got in the clear that one time he was decisive.
Sure that wasn't 3 years ago?
yeah you're right
Yeah that's my only hope. Been saying since last season that they had a year maybe two at a stretch with this group of players. Salah, Mane, Firmino I think will be done in a year and it's not going to be easy to replace them.
Jota getting a lot of plaudits but I feel he's a system player .. kind of like Pedro under Pep.
Don‘t forget the goal against Barcelona too. He’s like their lucky charm and only scores crucial goals. Prick.
