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?
I despise Sysco, but cops shouldn't be acting like modern day Pinkertons.

Darrell Brooks might actually be the worst person I've ever seen on trial.
Such a cnut!
Such a cnut!
How far along are they in the trial?
Just a very healthy society.
State should close Monday, possibly Tuesday if he drags it out.
I don't expect his defence will be very vigorous
Correction - state should close tomorrow
The mail man knew.
In the Darrell Brooks case the judge had ruled that his gangster rap video couldn't be played, one still from it was shown and he tried to use that the only image that wasn't prejudicial was unclear to his advantage, opening the door..
The judge then allowed it to be shown. He's there with the car he used. He is pissed.
I bet that judge is looking forward to the day when she jails his sorry arse for 250 years.
His opening statement was to break down into a flood of tears and go into a catatonic state
He then tried to call the state of Wisconsin as a witness, and now he's called some bloke who obviously hates him and is talking about his violence and abuse towards his girlfriend. This is just bizarre.

What’s he looking at sentence-wise?

Life, no parole
Watching the highlights of the Darrell Brooks case, make me frustrated just watching him. Really have to give the judge a lot of credit for how she has remained professional throughout. I'm fairly sure I would have just muzzled him
If he hadn't been representing himself and there wasn't the technological solution of moving him and connecting via an app and muting him, yes.

I missed it yesterday but catching back up.. when the state revealed he's a paedo!!Brooks is losing it in the courtroom. Arguing with the judge on points of law
More or less caught up with the Darrell Brooks case now. Honestly I can't decide how much is narcissism and being an abuser and how much is him being stupid.
The speculation is that he didn't know how to call witnesses of his own so is left to call the witnesses the prosecutor cut from their list. Almost all of them hate him and completely blow his defence apart. The prosecutors hadn't cross examined any of them up to yesterday because they did all the work for them. Brooks complained about the lack of cross saying 'the witnesses must have been coached' so the prosecutors started to cross and its been brutal.
Literally the only defence witness who didn't give off the impression she actively hated his guts so far started crying on the stand while being cross examined talking about the injuries to her 4 children.
He called as a witness a woman who he had brutally injured all 4 of her kids!!! One of her kids almost died from the injuries.

Brooks just had his defence ended by the judge because he was being belligerent.
Onto jury instructions and closing argument will be tomorrow.

I'll bet his closing will be a doozy.
If he gets one! Continues like he has today he might be denied one, and rightly so.
He's constantly delaying, arguing, pretending to not hear etc.
The judge must have been reading up on the case law because she's had no time for his shit today.
Calling sheriff's deputy to confirm the little shit can hear the courtroom from the other room.
He put his jury instructions in the bin
Now he's hiding behind some boxes and ranting and raving.
Built his own box fort!
110k people watching the Law and Crime youtube stream of a man hiding in a box fort hollering impotently because he's muted
I'm thinking probably conducting his own defence might have been a mistake. He's talking about double jeopardy
He's got to be trolling now.
Threatened to argue for jury nullification ( - as if they would do that for him!!) and then started spouting off about maritime admiralty law
Threatened to argue for jury nullification (
- as if they would do that for him!!) and then started spouting off about maritime admiralty lawSex itself is probably not the direct factor here, but rather a proxy variable. Being in a first relationship is something that significantly reduces a person's emotional instability (on average, of course there are many exceptions).So......not sure what to make of this. I don't like the framing of this as it almost sounds like "Dude's aren't getting any so they have no choice but to shoot up their schools/neighborhoods". Besides, if there was a correlation between not having sex and shooting up shit wouldn't most shooters be married men?
Darrell Brooks case is now finally with the jury in spite of the best efforts of Brooks.
He is honestly one of the most detestable people I've ever seen and hopefully he suffers a fate that befits a cnut like him.
He's going to appeal after his conviction and this case is going to affirm the current duties and power of judges and extend them further.
