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?

How can Howard Webb throw his own guys under the bus without issuing a statement on why exactly it should have been a penalty, by the letter of the law? They're just playing to the gallery here I feel. No-one would give a feck if it had been Wolves keeper who did this.
It doesn't surprise me that fat Leeds scum prick Moss is taking against us here either.

It's United, whatever happens in our games is talked about by everyone in England, despite the same things happening in every other game in the PL this weekend.I’ve never seen such an overreaction to a decision on the opening game of the season. If this was a decision that had just sent Wolves to the Championship I’d maybe get the outrage but it’s match week 1 for feck’s sake
It's self fulfilling from the media, to be honest.
A decision goes / is perceived to go in our favour, and they make such a huge thing about it and it becomes such a story that the officials are then taken out of the limelight for the following round of games - which is then taken as 'proof' that they were wrong and being punished, etc.
The media's hysterical overreaction influences the decision of the officials being removed, and then they use that removal as 'proof' that their hysteria was correct.

Correct decision.
They’re milking this to absurd levels.
They cannot complain. It was such an easy decision, and somehow they bottled it.
Would be nice if there is some consistency though. I know that refs and VAR make mistakes, but that one yesterday was such an easy decision that there couldn’t have been any justification for it.

To be fair he moves his hand towards the ball. Not sure what the rule is about distance but if it applies then it could be given
Its a challenge that we see every other day and ref wont give it 8/10 times but now United is benefit from it they have to issue an apology.
Good to know we re still relevant.

Love this
That has me baffled too. Unless they’re all locked in as a team together? Can’t suspend one without suspending them all? The on-field ref had a very good game, I thought.
This is nuts, some of the decisions that went against us last season or any season never lead to the same level of outrage and certainly no officials dropped. They were probably rewarded if anything.
The reaction has been hilarious. Onana will have a penalty given against him in every game until the end of the season now
How many games will Onana be banned for?
The whole thing is mad.
Moss saying directly to the Wolves manager that it should have been a penalty, Pig Mole issuing an apology almost as soon as the game was finished, and now suspending the officials.
They've had pretty much zero time to actually sit down and review the incident, but have immediately made three massive concessions that it was the wrong call, despite there probably being many very similar challenges going by without notice every season.
This kind of crazy overreaction is clearly going to influence refs giving anything our way in the coming weeks. It’s utterly ridiculous when you consider officials who totally ignored actual dangerous play from thugs like Carroll and Fabinho last season went unpunished.
A perfectly proportional response which I'm certain is in no way affected by United being on the favourable end...
The overreaction to this is hilarious especially considering that incident is never called a pen and I genuinely don't think it should be one. The player is essentially blocking Onana from challenging the actual player heading the ball. He's just in the middle. Onana doesn't punch anyone, his hands are out and just body to body contact as he jumps into them to close down. You see that incident all of the time with 0 controversy, and yet.... Madness.
It was a penalty, but the reaction has been obscene. So over the top, and you can't help but think its because it involves us, the clicks and focus we still have in this country is ridiculous. Just move on already.
I don't think that other incident was comparable. Onana was so late for that ball that he might as well be saving next year's shot.
Indeed, wouldn't hear a peep if it was any other team
If this (officials miss a game for making an extremely poor decision) happens regularly I’m all for it, but we all know it won’t.
The reaction to the reaction is also quite entertaining. But we got away with one without doubt.
Ridiculous overreaction. Once again United used to make a point when the same thing happens all the time in other games.
I thought the keeper always have the advantage in their own goal area, in this case, he didn't hit the player with their fists, is just body-to-body contact. How do they expect the keeper to approach these situations? Like DDG that used to bounce back because he had no body strength?
It could have easily been a pen but this reaction is laughable and on point for them. They need to be held to account in terms of explaining their decisions on the field to the players and public, not just react and give in to media outrage.
I'd say the same if it happened in favour of us because it makes a mockery out of what should be a strong body of professionals. You may as well get a group of interns to do VAR if you're running your organisation like this.
Beyond that, there's a reason why successful managers like SAF, Mourinho and Klopp would always put pressure on refs. It's because they know they crumble so easily in the face of any controversy.

This kind of shit is the reason refs are terrified of giving us anything. It's borderline impossible these days for our opponents to get sent off or concede a penalty, and yet the rest of the country has collectively decided, in stark contrast with reality, that the refs are on our side. One or two debatable incidents per season is apparently all it takes, even though we routinely go months on end without getting anything despite many incidents that should have given something. It's so deeply irrational and pathetic, and yet it's plain as day that it's happening.
The City incident from last year wasn't even an incorrect decision, most people just don't know the rules of the sport, and still it haunted us for the entire season. Pundits and journalists milked it for literally the rest of the season despite being demonstrably, undisputably wrong (the rules literally say so), and of course, all fans besides ours jumped on that bandwagon and the false narrative was in full swing. Refs then routinely screwed us again and again for the rest of the season and still everyone kept spewing the same idiotic nonsense about how we were playing with a twelvth man and whatnot.
It's sickening.

I can see why it could have been awarded. But to drop them over this is ridiculous. Its totally blown out of proportion.
The same incident will happen in ,say, November, and nothing will come out of it. This feels like one of those decisions at the start of season saying" we are going to put our foot down" and completely forget as we go on.

If it had been given a pen I wouldn't have complained, but to suspend them afterwards is just saying that 50/50 decisions can't go our way.
It was the lateness that made it a pen. Like with a tackle that misses the ball by a mile.
Let’s accept that it was a foul by Onana. Can anyone point to another similar challenge by a keeper that resulted in a pk — in the history of the game?
We see pk’s given all the time when the keeper goes to the ground and gets the player but not the ball. That’s not what happened here.

I've never seen it given.
If this happened in the Brighton Luton game we would not have heard a thing.
Of course it's all blown out of proportion because we're the benefactors. I doubt we'll get another decision for rest of the season.
That’s never a penalty. Not even a debate. He can’t chop his arms off his body.
Nope.
Never thought i would see the day cancel culture would bleed in to football officiating what a time to be alive
Of course it was a penalty.
