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?
Does Trossard lead the league in added time goals?
Small steps.
After the FA cup defeat this game was their cup final. Today was literally the end of Arsenal's season and they finish on a high.
bizarre thing to say. You don’t want United to lose those fixtures too?
You think the situation would've played out exactly the same if Martinelli wasn't there hustling van dijk?
Not this season if it’s against City or Arsenal.
The performances + atmosphere in big games at the Emirates this season have been the best I’ve seen it by a mile. Love this team.
This Liverpool side are then fascinating. Lots of good individuals and attackers but I think I’ve watched them in seven games this season (Arsenal x3, Chelsea, Spurs, United, Palace) and I’m not convinced I’ve seen them comfortably be the better side in any of them. Maybe I’ve been unlucky, but they seem to be a team of moments, who are always going to have chances because of how many brilliant attackers they have (+ Allison, Konate, VVD), but there’s a structural problem with their set-up and midfield.

Agree with that. I was telling my Arsenal mate before the game I was annoyed that Trent had recovered in time for the game today (+ poor Connor's dad dying
) . As much as VvD and Alisson were comical the structure was all wrong again. You killed us down TAA's side unsurprisingly.I just watched the arse/liv game highlights. After that Liverpool goal I thought here we go; the jammy fcukers will find a way to win. Thank god they fecked up too.
But but he's spot on.
Very poor game today. Our entire setup seemed wrong.
Also appeared to lack energy, which I suppose is kind of understandable after playing late on Wednesday evening, but only kind of, and could also just be me looking for an excuse. In any case, Arsenal were good and deserved winners.
Think it’ll do us good to have a weeks rest before the next match.

You don't think that they're all-time PL greats?
(Bit strange using the phrase 'all-time' when talking about the last 30 years but we'll let that but slide)
Yes, they are. What I'm saying is that they'd still reach that level, had they been born 20 years later and were at their peak today.
Well obviously. Who would even think the opposite?
For me it's that all three of those achieved longevity that Van Dijk just hasn't. I'm not saying that Van Dijk isn't an exceptional defender; he's almost definitely the best centre back of this generation. With that said, his trophy haul doesn't stack up to any of those three, and I feel that although at his peak he was on their level he didn't sustain it for as long a period.
Delicious.
Was very nervous for this one but thankfully, Liverpool weren't quite at it. Think we comfortably deserved the win, don't think Liverpool troubled Raya much apart from the goal. Think our best player was either Martinelli or Havertz today, they didn't allow the Liverpool defenders a moment of peace.
Sometimes I want to simply give the opposition the credit their performance deserved and move on. Arsenal's shape and game plan was excellent and nullified us completely in the first half. All round a deserved win for them.
We need to win all of our league games before we play City in March. Any dropped points between now and then, and I think they'll fancy it. If they only need a draw from Anfield then we're in trouble.
Reguilon starts for Brentford, watch him look world class as well
We need to lay down a marker tonight. Time to go on a long winning run.
Just saw the lineups.. Man City doesn't have a single injured player.. Absolutely unbelievable.
Didn't even know he left...thought he was still injured
Are you jealous you don't have access to Cugat's juices anymore?
Seriously feeling more and more out of touch with football. There was one time I could have named the entire Sheffield Wednesday XI. Now I wouldn’t have blinked if Regulion was starting for us the other day and yet here he is in Brentford’s team.
They only just got fully fit. They've had it reasonably bad with injuries during the first half of the season as well.
"Ivan Toney one of only two players to score more than once against City last season"
The other? Tony Martial
The other? Tony Martial
Reguilon, completely forgot he played for us this season
I'm just stunned especially as City had so many matches in their triple season and then also played the club world cup on top of a packed Xmas season.
Guardiola's second season was injury ridden. Don't remember his time at Bayern was free of injuries, rather the contrary.
Thats actually a really good shot and save
Toney lacks top end pace?
Maupay has scored.
Mopey scores1-0!
Thtas a finish.
If we concede that goal the caf would explode
Maupay you’re a cheat, I hope Brighton Brentford get relegated.
Calling for offside at a goal kick… mugs
