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?
Hat trick in a WC final
Hat trick from two penalties, second coming of Jesus, GOAT, crown him right away. 
Balls of absolute steel, whatever happens.
Still a bit of a bellend, but impress.

You’re aware you’re watching a World Cup Final, yes?Hat trick from two penalties, second coming of Jesus, GOAT, crown him right away.
Yes, so? Does WC Final have different kind of grass, or maybe lower gravity or something?
I expect "mental pressure" answer, but at top tier football, handling that pressure is expected from most players.
Things he’s just surpassed Henry, Platini and Zidane one by one in this final
If you aware it’s a World Cup final, at a bare minimum you should be aware of the great players who have wilted under such a spotlight and pressure.
Worst take of all time to match the best final of all time?Hat trick from two penalties, second coming of Jesus, GOAT, crown him right away.
As there are tons of other great players who handle it perfectly, it is not some rare thing to be deciding factor for anything.
Yeah, like I said, second coming of Jesus we are witnessing here.Worst take of all time to match the best final of all time?
Elite mentality
Looking less and less controversial as the games go by
If he gets the domestic success in a more competitive league alongside a UCL with consistency over a decade he'll be up there for the best ever. It's the longevity of Ronaldo / Messi that is the cause for their reputation not moments but periods of dominance.
Terrible take.
Had an amazing game. Barely been involved but every single involvement has either been a goal or a near goal/assist.
Name the players who have scored 2 penalties in a World Cup Final, let alone hatricks under the biggest pressure there is in football. Full-stop.As there are tons of other great players who handle it perfectly, it is not some rare thing to be deciding factor for anything.
Yeah, like I said, second coming of Jesus we are witnessing here.
For biased fanboys, I don't doubt it is.
I don't rate players by numbers and statistics only, it is too simplistic as too much context is in play to judge by that only.
As I consider stupid to judge player based on World Cup trophies, there are so many great players that were/are not lucky to have good national team around them.

3 penalties and scores them all.
All time top scorer in WC finals. What an amazing final and tournament for him
He's not human
Proven to everyone why he’s the PSG CEO
What a player.He turned up big time tonight, even France didn't win it.
The GOAT in the making.
World Cup final. He scored 3 penalties. He is HIM
He is a beast
What a beast
Didn't deserve to be on the losing team.
Wonderful player!
Wonderful player!
The Messi vs Mbappe narrative beforehand was unfair on him as he's never going to live up to that but he did the stuff today.
The guy just scored a hattrick in the WC final.Yeah, like I said, second coming of Jesus we are witnessing here.
23 and already has 4 WC final goals. Amazing really.
If he truly wants to become the GOAT though, he needs to move to the PL or La Liga next summer and win a couple of CLs.

He is better than any French player I've ever seen, although he has to maintain the same consistency for a few more years to stake that claim.
His record at 24 years is ridiculous already.

He's incredible.
But difference is Messi and Ronaldo did it for almost 2 decades. If he can keep it up the same he will be up there with the GOAT'S.

He's coming to United. Pure box office.
Gutted for him, hatrick and still loses.
You just know he could take pens all night against that gamesmanship bastad and score them all.

Yes he did, from two penalties.
If we get taken over by oil money it’s guaranteed. I’m pretty sure United are one of his favourite clubs as well
I hadn’t seen much of him at PSG but now see what all the fuss is about.
Would love to see him at United.

DId nothing for 70% of the game and then was completely clutch. Nerves of steel
You’re right, he’s obviously a bit shit
He's one of the most terrifying players I've seen in my life. You are so uncomfortable as long as he's on the pitch
