Bayern obviously watched us last night.

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?
Hardly that important to us if Bayern want him or not.
There's always Ajax anyway.

Do we believe they are stupid enough to base their decision on one game? I doubt it
At least you are transparent in your agenda to support Ten Hag and not the club
I saw it and it doesn't answer the question. You just moved the goalpost for no apparent reason.
Which journalist/newspaper was responsible for the leaks/reports last week the vast majority of the squad was up for sale? certainly not the best way to prepare for a game, with a cup final on the horizon. Regardless of who is in charge next season those leaks need to stop.
That kind of things often comes from agents. If the club has told a few of them that they are open for offers, then agents will start talking behind the scenes.
Yes, the structure/decision makers at the club are useless. One of the major indicators of how useless they are is the clueless manager they chose, and then chose to persevere with, despite some of the most useless coaching, tactics and performances we’ve seen in the PL era.
You think top players make top pundits? There is something seriously dumb with your logic, il let you work it out on your own but won't hold my breath.
Come on.
This is exactly why people are highly skeptical of ETH.
(Or: it's one of the reasons.)
He has - seemingly - had much of the same freedom to build a team previous United managers have had.
And he reportedly craved just that freedom - it was a reason why he fancied the gig in the first place.
You can't possibly say with a straight face that he has been hampered by transfers like Antony and Onana when it's bleedin' obvious that he, himself, was the number one factor in bringing those players in.
Weghorst too. Do you think Murtough forced Weghorst on ETH?
Palace will be delighted to know that they can now attract very highly rated youngsters and experienced top players.
Leaks will never stop, for a club the size of ours there is too many who know somebody from within or someone who knows someone who knows someone. Most is Chinese whispers but some do tend to be true.
Correct, they watched the entire season of bollox instead
You think Michael ‘state the bleeding obvious’ Owen and Paul ‘miserable bastard’ Scholes are good pundits?!
Yes, yes it did.
Yes that’s right the famous elite squad test, whether or not they’re good enough to be squad members at Crystal Palace
Let him work it out on his own. This is @pocco finest moment
They’ve twigged that Tuchel is orders of magnitude better at being a football manager so what the hell are they swapping them for
I thought the same, however irrelevant as INEOS have zero intention of sacking him yet
There is also the matter of actually finding an interim manager and coaching staff for less than a month. Who is even available and ready to kick in to gear in a matter of days.
Why is it so hard for some of you to accept that having an underwhelming squad and a crap manager are not exclusive? Yes our squad is a shambles but that doesn't excuse the absolute shit show ETH is producing week in week out. So yes, while our squad needs an overhaul we absolutely must get rid of EtH as well. Asap.
Except senior Execs have publicly disparaged and annoyedTuchel so much that, barring his having no viable options whatsoever, he's going to walk regardless come end of May, whilst Bayern are floundering around trying to get anyone with half a track record or 'potential' to sign-up instead. It wouldn't surprise me if they genuinely Did end up with Ten Hag come June 1st.
Our squad is better than the current 14th even with injuries. In general your point is correct but that's beside the original point, nearly all our players would be picked by Palace instead of theirs.
It’s depressing that we went toe to toe with a (ok not the best) Barca side just last season and now we look like we’d struggle in the championship. What the feck has happened 
Jim is too stingy
I don't agree with your take on ETH, but I do agree with your take on Owen and Scholes.
I've never met Michael Owen, but he's obviously an utter idiot (and possibly insane).
I have met Andy Mitten, and he's a normal bloke who seems fairly intelligent (in a general sort of sense).
As for Scholes...I dunno. He's...possibly...nah, he's a bit simple (sorry, that would be my take). His brains seem to be located mainly in his feet, let's say.
ETA
Scholes: Could possibly be unconventionally intelligent.
Owen: No chance, he's just plain stupid.

That statement makes no sense mate.
Well 60% of it's been bought in the last 2 years, so maybe we should sack the guy who's been the main driver behind that squad building over that period.
It's nuts, you get it every time we have a bad season.This reminds me of a thread on here years ago about how many United players would get into the Wolves team
We're in the late stage looney toon phase now.
I think there has been a plan and a vision it was just a shit one. And I don't think any attempt has been made to get through games and adapt to what's available, we've just plodded on with the same set-up all season regardless of which players are available.
And we've had options in attack and midfield all season, injuries haven't been too bad in those areas to be fair.
Well they can't have watched any of our games this season if the rumours were true and they did want him.
You miss my point. I was saying the squad is lacking in both depth and quality and has been since Sir Alex left.
I thought those silly Southgate links were dead now
Shite source thankfully
Fully Ten Hag In if Southgate is who they go for. I’d take a season of 4-0 defeats and relegation to avoid Southgate as manager

There were plenty of shocking performances last season too. Brentford, Liverpool, City spring to mind. But because we won the league cup (after a very favourable draw), some people think last season was a brilliant one.
As for this season, the writing was on the wall from game one against Wolves.
It feels like some desperate last attempt to defend an obviously failing manager.
Ah these players are championship level! Fergie would have struggled with this lot etc
Now do I think this squad is good enough to challenge for the PL or the CL? obviously not. But do I think it's a better squad than finishing 8th and losing at least 18 games in a season and being on course for the worst season in 35 years? Yeah.
If it’s Southgate I’m done. I’ll have zero motivation or enthusiasm to switch the TV on when his United are playing.
I’d give Ten Hag another 10 years over that chancer.
