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.
Another lacklustre performance from Spurs. And a bad result to lose away to Brighton. Not good enough by a long way.
Leicester, Spurs and Everton all losing winnable games. Poor weekend for a few of the chasing pack. Great weekend for Chelsea and Villa.
Not really. He was eventually subbed
Come off.
Yes, He got subbed off just after half time.
Is there spurs goes to meltdown thread on Caf? No!. Ok.
I do feel sorry for them.
I do feel sorry for them.
Beautiful 
The Portuguese Graham Potter was done by the original.
He was so good Mourinho benched him at half time to save for next game.
He smiled once.
Actually think Arsenal could finish higher than Spurs.
If you view our season from a top 4 viewpoint then we have done incredibly well after an understandably bad start. Its not perfect but be honest none of us thought we were winning the League this season after previous years. Lets hope we can increase our points total and solidify our place in top 4, then get the right players in and get in a situation to properly challenge.
Brighton fully deserved that win. It reminded me of United v Brighton away when Jose was manager.
It's possible, they are finding their form.
Solidifying a top 3 finish and a trophy would be a great season for you I reckon.
And they have an Elite manager.
Hope we do the business on Tuesday and then I will enjoy Spurs/Chelsea on Wednesday. That's if Jose hasn't exploded by then.
This is the perfect time for teams like Southampton, Leeds, Everton and maybe Aston Villa to make investments in the summer. There seems to be open race for 4th spot as both Arsenal and Tottenham look on the way down.
For some reason Arsenal always seem a nice proposition for players, especially from abroad, so think they will get better.
But I thought Mourinho was a genious and we were all fools for thinking that he isn't?
Has Glaston seen the light?
With time to digest our last two results, we're not doing too badly I guess. Another top 4 slog, which was probably the expectation at the start of the season after a poor transfer window, remains but we look on course for that at least. It's just a shame we couldn't sustain a title challenge for longer than a week but we probably wouldn't have won it anyway and I guess we can thank feck for City being so good cos otherwise Liverpool would be getting #21. I still think we'll need a lot better than Ole at the wheel to get where we want to be but I don't know who we can turn to in this current situation.
He had Messi. Seriously gonna go there. Klopps another level compared to Pep.
Bet on it. Arteta is a better manager than this Mourinho.
3 clean sheets in a row for Brighton
With Spurs losing we have actually extended our lead over 5th spot.
The weekend could have been worse. I always expected City to catch us and think it could be close with us and Liverpool given their injuries for 2nd and 3rd.

Brighton play lovely football. As everybody says they could do with more goals. Bet they let Duffy go.
Where is Dele AllI?
Injured, but he has frozen him out apart from cup games against lower league teams.
Now that's a stat.
Duffy is shite to be fair.
That's what I was getting at.
Everton, Leicester and Spurs all losing winnable games this weekend brings a bit of joy for us in the top 4 race, at least. Spurs Vs Chelsea on Thursday and Liverpool Vs City next weekend, hopefully we get two wins from Southampton and Everton. Both decent sides and both are home games so it won’t be easy.
Glad it isn't just me who has noticed that and is annoyed by it too, fair enough Liverpool fans call him that but not professional commentators like Tyler
Yeah that would definitely be the ideal result and certainly didn't want the scousers just brushing aside Spurs & West Ham with such ease but then with sacked Utd managers in charge why am I not surprised. I want Liverpool to have fire in their bellies against City next Sun but just would rather they weren't only a point behind us going into the match. We certainly don't want to give either of them any extra impetus by dropping points against Saints/Everton too.

headed a certain goal off the line
Harsh on Potter, he tries to play good football and tries to win. Jose tries not to lose
He's more the Portuguese Pulis
All in all, results went largely our way. Spurs, West Ham, Leicester, Everton, Arsenal all dropping points.
We are in a good position to try now to go on another winning run, try to keep up with City & see where it take us.
I've never thought we were good enough to compete with City, not yet. But to keep with them or close to them would effectively secure top 4 without really concerning ourselves with a top 4 race, which is a stride forward on last season.
