In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Well then I dont understand what we are debating.
Investigating Cavani is like investigating an English speaking player who says 'black business owner' because of the word 'black'.
Yeah different from the Suarez stuff as it's very "innocently said" but still not great. I get that it's part of their culture... but it's such a backwards thing and needs to be stamped out of every culture. Shouldn't get anything big, but at least a 1 game ban wouldn't surprise me unfortunately. Anyway, one of those where he should just take whatever punishment comes, apologizes in terms of using the word/not knowing the culture, and move on.
Where did I say Cavani should be investigated? You like arguing with yourself?
You replied to me so surely you should know why you did?
So the lesson to be learned here, is don't speak spanish if you play in an english league?
Wankers.
Wankers.
Suarez kicked a man because he's black, he could call evra a french born African descent and still be a racist cnut in my book.
If any of you draw any similarity with cavani thanking his friend in his native language then you really need to recheck on your view of racism

Dont think anyone is calling him a racist...
Agreed about the warning part. It should be a made absolutely clear to all Spanish speaking players to never use any variation of that word under any circumstances. I suppose those who aren’t fluent in English aren’t allowed to express themselves in their own languages. Ironic in a way.
some posters are saying that he might get a one game ban
i guess that someone is thinking something along that way
Or that some are thinking the FA will act on it...
Literally no one is saying he said anything with any malice
no, it doesnt
Then why the ban? For not being racist?
Not true I have first hand experience
Because the FA are stupid maybe?
Pretty much.
Deserves to be on cloud nine after his performance earlier, and this nonsense is what social media are going on about instead, trying to get him banned.
Wankers sums it up. Whole country full of them.
Exactly. Ironic as they want inclusion and acceptance for everyone.
Well, we can agree on that
This the ideal opportunity for the FA to prove that they have a broader sense of cultural awareness. Football is after all a world game and so is the Premier League. There was nothing sinister or racist behind the intention of Cavani's post (from my understanding of interpretations provided by Spanish speakers on here).
Mate, i call my wife “negra”
we call our friends “negro” or “negrito”
to use it as a racist term you need to accompany the word negro with an insult
else, it isn’t a racist term
Who called it a racist term? Again another person who argues with themselves. Ive simply said it not always a term of endearment and can have negative connotations (of which I have first hand experience). Take from that what you will
thank you Culture Police, for teaching the world how to be a worthy culture. I will stay tunned so you can teach us our language too
You said it has negative connotations
and it doesn’t
We have the same words they do in English. We just dont refer to every black person as hey black or Chinese as hey china man. We used to at one point...
I think he just mean it CAN be used in a negative way, which I guess it is true...
As most words I guess
Ok we agree to disgaree
No I meant that it is used negatively in the region as well as a term of endearment. Depends who is saying it and in what context
Ni te quemes Marquitos. Estamos equivocados y debemos someternos a su superioridad cultural. Fachos progre.
Yes. But if you say “negro de m...” but negro alone, i don’t see how
I never said negro btw. Thats not what he wrote
So
les iba a decir que uno de los mejores musicos uruguayos es el negro Rada y si le preguntan el mismo se llama Negro y nadie se ofende ni quiere ofender
se caen de boludos

No, I for one am not attacking the culture. Maybe someone else is. Im not even English
Better than flaccideto.I once was one
Should have known that it could get him in trouble in the UK. Remember, we live in a world where you can't use certain hairstyles because of "cultural appropiation"... Yep, what a world.
He will get banned.
Yes again with context. I notice even after telling u I have first hand experience. U still continue
"It's such a backward step"?
Another language/culture can say something they think is a term of endearment and another culture/country can not only tell them they're wrong but that they're backward?
Wow.
I think it's the opposite.
