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.
Having just had back surgery as well.
Hope it's not a bad one and his hospital visit is precaution given the recent surgery.

CAr looks in bad shape
Looks like he hit something solid - hope he’s okay
Shit, doesn’t sound good
Damn hope he’s okay. Not sure why you didn’t make a new thread.
Probably should have. Perhaps @Damien can move the posts.

Shit...hoping he pulls through 
Damn surgery on his legs doesn’t sound good and after all the problems with his back, could probably be the end of his golf career. Hope he’s just alright though.

I hope he's going to be ok
Still annoys me how he was made to apologize to a crowd of old men for his infidelity
Anyway I hope he recovers fully.

Eesh. Looks like he’ll be lucky to walk again, never mind play golf.
Hope he's ok
First time I've heard that jaws of life term

Hope he wasn't driving under the influence of any painkillers but accidents of this type (single vehicle, early morning) often point to a driver not being in the best shape.
What time did it happen? Surely early in the morning since it's in LA?
Police tweet above says 7:12 am.
Jesus looks bad.
Hope he pulls through

oh shit! Not good
Hope he’s ok
The words driving boy have never been more apt. Apart from the previous two times.
Wish him well, but his driving's gone to shit the last decade or so.

Hope hes alright. Was a bit of a hero of mine growing up learning to play golf.
The time he got pulled over and had that grim mugshot taken under the influence of all sorts of painkillers was during the height of his back troubles, wasn’t it? Given the recent back surgery I imagine this will have people wondering.
Hope he gets through this but you have to think that is the final nail in his career's coffin.
Hope he pulls through for his and his kids' sake.
You can't judge the extent of casualties from looking at the car damage, there are examples of terrible car crashes with the victim walking out fine with nothing more than a concussion. As long as he had his safety belt on and air bags deployed, he has a good chance with the safety standards of modern vehicles. Considering he's already been suffering from a back issue, this might be the end for his career though.

That’s kind of true. Although seeing as we know he had to be cut from the car, has injuries to his legs and there’s a photo which shows that the bit of the vehicle where his feet would be had been fecking obliterated I’d say there’s a very good chance his legs are mangled. Which is unlikely to be compatible with an ongoing career as a sportsman.
Grim reading
The front end is designed to crumple like it has. I think his feet will be fine. Prob got broken legs from the blunt impact.
From the looks of it, they used the jaws of life to remove the windshield. The crumple zones in the front of the vehicle did their job and the passenger compartment looks pretty well intact. As the poster above mentioned, probably banged his legs up when the vehicle rolled down the embankment or wherever it ended up. May have got some cuts when they pulled him out from the glass as well.
That looks a hell of a lot more dramatic than the usual crumple. You can’t even see the engine block. That’s never a good sign! Hope I’m wrong, obviously. It’s not a great quality photo.
I am left wondering if it came out and is the smouldering piece of rubble next to the vehicle.
Strange. On his own at 7am. Just as some more juice about his private was to be leaked...
No reports about it being life threatening, wish him a speedy recovery and hope we see him playing in a tournament soon.

I looked up the junction mentioned and couldn't see where he could have gone downhill from the road....
(I've been up that way a few times as I have a buddy that lives in that area)

Engines are now designed to detach from the firewall to prevent pushing onto the chasis. You're probably right.
Remember that in modern cars, the passengers sit in a safety cell and everything else is designed to absorb kinetic engergy and detach.
