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?
towards the end of last season he said something about Chelsea being able to catch Utd and win the league, he said he'd "done the maths" or something. Hence the calculator jibes
He said Chelsea would beat United by exactly 5 points, as he had "done the maths".
This was around the turn of the year actually, about the time of that brilliant parody about Drogba claiming to be better than Jesus.
The difference is that Essien really said the calculations shit.

Didn't he also say in an interview after a cup game that:
"the 3 points were all that count.."
giving rise to the belief that said counting machine was not working properly?

That was Wayne Bridge after the League Cup final against Arsenal in Feb 2007
Michael Essien also made it clear what he thought of United.
"We are much better than Manchester United," said the Ghana international.
"It is just a matter of days before we are the leaders. I have done the calculations and we will finish at least five points clear of United at the top of the table."

The one I'm thinking of was the CL tie against Valencia. From WIKI:
"Running down the wing from his position at right-back he smashed an effort past Santiago Cañizares' at his near post to send Chelsea through to the semi-finals with a 1–2 victory on the night, and 2–3 win on aggregate.[7] It was his first match back in the team after several weeks out with a knee injury. Later in a post-match interview, when asked how he felt about the win, he said he thought his team deserved the three points, despite it being a European Semi-Final."
