Fess up...
Who do you want to win the league?

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?
United
Really don’t want to see Robbie, Troopz, and DT doing a victory lap
This, we're not out of it yet
Arsenal and it's not even close.
I cant believe we had Utd fans today wanting a Liverpool today win first and foremost. Our most hated rival should never be cheered on unless them winning benefits Utd for a title or something. That's the only accepted time it's allowed to want them to win and even then it feels dirty.
But to make matters worse City, our second biggest rival, could win three on the bounce and maybe a treble too equaling our records.
If you hate Arsenal more than those two clubs above you're a Spurs fan and just haven't realised it yet.

Man City mainly because their titles feel so plastic and insignificant anyway.
I personally know quite a few Arsenal fans who are absolutely insufferable as things stand, and I can't even begin to imagine how they would be if Arsenal actually won the title.
I'm not Mancunian/I don't live in Manchester, but if I did I'd probably feel different about City winning.

The plastics because every single thing they do is irrelevant.
Arsenal by a million miles. The whole "City's success doesn't mean anything" is just sour grapes that history won't care about, similar to Chelsea's oil era. I just want United's achievements to remain at the top for as long as possible.
Not if you actually live in Manchester.
Judging by some of the celebrations from Liverpool scoring here, some of you would prefer them also right?
I just can't get my head around anyone wanting City to win it. They are obviously our biggest rival after Liverpool.
This notion that it's okay because they are a worthless plastic club doesn't wash (even though they are).
Let's also not forget that they are still going for the treble, surely no one at all would choose City winning the league over Arsenal if it also meant a treble.

Only thing DT is doing a victory lap around is the prison yard.

Where is the Man United option?
City. Nobody cares about them.
Couldn't really give a shit if we're not in it (and the fecking scouse aren't).
Arsenal while any chance of City doing a treble exists, I suppose.

I don't live in Manchester. Those who live in Manchester are free to vote for the other option.
Liverpool is a mid table irrelevance this year. A point or three extra makes no difference, they are not getting CL.
City. They are a small club cheating to success.
Arsenal is a proper club and rival. Their fans are unbearable even when they are banter FC.

Arsenal any day of the good.
I dislike City and everything they stand for, and of course the giant ball bag Pep. Not sure why so many here would prefer City when Arsenal were last relevant 20 years ago and City have beaten us to the title recently (not to mention Pep with Barca).
Plus I know a few Arsenal fans and they've been long suffering.

Arsenal.
There was a time when I would have said City as (not being a local and not actually knowing any real-life City fans) that rivalry meant less to me than the Arsenal one, which was central to a big chunk of my school years suppprting United while surrounded by Arsenal fans.
But City cheating to buy themselves SAF-esque near dominance of the league without facing any real consequences so far has eventually worn me down. I'd prefer to see the non-plastic club we used to have what now seems like a "clean" rivalrly with win, particularly as I know City will likely continue dominating beyond this season.
People say City's success is irrelvant but the reality is that (unless their titles are stripped) the record books won't take the context of contemporary fan sentiment into account, they'll just recognise City as an extremely excellent team. And if they break records or win trebles then we will still have to put up with people arguing that they were better or more dominant than SAF-era United teams. At this point I'd rather kill that narrative than keep Arsenal in the doldrums to which they will likely quickly return anyway.

City because they'll likely be relegated this summer anyway...
More consistently better posters on this forum voted for Arsenal.
c) Neither
Arsenal for me. But I've always maintained I want them to sweat for it and win it with a couple of games to go
I grew up watching the arsenal v Man utd rivalry and ever since then I've hated those bastards. Couldn't care less about city and their cheating oil money.
Arsenal for me. However, I'd like it to go down to the last game of the season and at the very least to be in the balance when the two teams meet later this month. Can't stand it when the league is already wrapped up at this stage of the season by an utterly dominant team. Unless it's us.
Neither… But rather see Arsenal lose it. The cheating plastic club is irrelevant.
Arsenal fans are insufferable, arrogant pricks but at least they don't do munich chants and aeroplane gestures when we play them.
I’m confused. City or Arsenal then?
He’s been out for quite a while now.
Give me a plastic asterisk every day
Don't want that twat Haaland winning anything with City. Arsenal winning the league would negate all his goals.
Said this before but as a Londoner whose football watching friends mostly support Arsenal and is therefore in closer proximity with (insufferable) Arsenal fans…Man City 100%
For some reason I feel the sentiment on the caf changes from week to week - depending on who wins and who drops points. I know I have swayed back and forth over the last 3 months.
I genuinely feel Arsenal winning it (assuming they don’t bottle it) is a one off and they might even drop out of top 3 next year with their impending fixtures.
Ultimately, I have accepted it’s not in my control who wins it so I tend to not bother myself with the pros and cons of who wins it - probably because there is so much of them on either side that it falls on individual perspective on what is the most important pro/con for you. Anyways, it won’t be us, which is the biggest con.
Bring on Seville.

Niall making this poll and banning anyone who votes Man City! Get in there.
Arsenal because they have a good team and run a way cleaner and more acceptable project. Sportswashing has no place in football.
Man Utd
Same. I grew up watching the same rivalry and during that time City was the noisy neighbour.
plus most Arsenal fans would be unbearable.
I don't vote in polls on here but Man City by a country mile.
Plastic Man AbuDhabi City.
City will win it, arsenal need to play City, Newcastle and Brighton, plus Chelsea won't be easy for them
I'm surprised so many people would rather choose City. What the actual feck is going on
