In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
feck off smelly breath
“Go and shag your sister…oh wait. Wrong Brazilian”
Never seen Hendo as that kind of a person but who knows in the heat of the moment.
Me neither but you are right.
If your not that kind of person, in the heat of the moment you would call him a prick not a racist slur otherwise you are that kind of person.
Good point also.
I saw Jordan Henderson at a grocery store the other day. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “Eh Eh Eh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Xhaka reacts abruptly at around 00:15 and Firmino also doesn't look impressed - could be a massive misunderstanding but both of those points in combination don't look good.
There is a bizarre number of very unfunny posts in this thread for what could be quite a serious allegation.
Firmino looks unimpressed in one photo I've seen. I also saw a photo of a group discussion between Alisson, Jesus, Firmino and Gabriel after the game. So it would seem from those two points that Henderson may have said something about Brazil?

Gabriel is a certified twat. And I can't think why would Henderson be so stupid to offend someone on racial grounds in this day and age and that on TV while wearing a captain's armband.
No I agree, just said I didn´t see him as that kind of a person. Heat of the moment didn´t make it any better just sometimes that brings out the worst in people a side you seldom see.
Yes it's pretty stupid to offend anyone on racial grounds over a scrap in football.
Yeah that's my take also, people need to relax a bit, anytime anyone screams racism it's knives out. I explained my point in the other comments, I hope it's just misunderstanding.
"Dreams can come true
Look at me babe, I'm with you
You know you gotta have hope
You know you gotta be strong".

This video shows Klopp and Pep being told what happened. I'm no body language expert but I think Klopp looks pretty stunned...

Why would Oliver not show him red if Henderson said something racist?
Because he wouldn't have heard it?
The video shows Gabriel pinching his arm when telling the story so it’s clearly a black slur imo
Yes.
He's not heard him say anything racist though.
He's (allegedly) had Gabriel tell him, there's not really anything he can do other than what he did.
All Oliver has to work on is what Gabriel has told him. Sending a player off in those conditions is very dangerous precedent
Pep’s hair is looking much better these days
Because Oliver didn’t hear it, all he’s got is Gabriel accusing Henderson of something.
The phrase "lego Pep"" has ruined my brain.
Yeah, okay. Henderson's reaction makes him seem regretful right away. I don't know if it was something racist but it's clear it was something he shouldn't have said.
Whether he misheard what Henderson said, it was a miscommunication or an actual racial insult, the fact Gabriel made the accusation means it needed to be treated as seriously as it has been.
Care to elaborate mate? I haven't heard that before.
This might be the case. Pardon my ignorance fellow forumites, but if the bolded is true is it sort of better (or at least more palatable) than outright racial abuse?
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that and I'd be shocked if I was the only guy on this forum who has called a Welshman a sheep shagger.
Key words could be. It's all speculation at this point and no joke is even in poor taste.
Still. Absolute bottom-tier humour.
Not much point speculating when we don't know what it is (I will now go on to speculate...)
Could be anything from 'oi mate Brazil is shit LOL' to something much more out of order/xenophobic etc etc.
Dear lord, what a sad little life Zeb's. Bazinga
Probably told him to fk off back to Brazil. Doubt Henderson said anything racist. As a player he seems pretty self aware.
I appreciate this is going to sound a bit stupid as we're talking two entirely different types of prejudice, but hasn't Henderson been a fairly vocal advocate of LGBT rights?
That would make it more surprising to me if there was something to this. Let's say even if the LGBT stuff was performative, and he secretly is a casual bigot, wouldn't he still be savvy enough to not spout such abhorrent terms in front of TV cameras with millions watching?

They’ll be mates from his Brazil days. I’m guessing they’re talking out what happened instead of group thinking Brazilian insults. Having mates on Liverpools side lessens the chance of all teammates closing shop around Henderson
Literally kneeled before yesterday's game in support of racism awareness as well.
My money is on a misunderstanding. Henderson has a very thick accent. I can't understand half the shit he says in interviews, he probably sounds like a blue whale to Gabriel.
Pay attention when he plays, how he plays, tackles and gets involved in every scrap, also a big mouth.
