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.
The Chinese takeaway was driven out (?!) and this was because of Brexit? Have images of inbred hillbillies in white hoods.
Brussels says plan to extend Brexit grace period breaks international law
In a damning statement, Maroš Šefčovič, the vice-president of the commission, said a move announced by Northern Ireland secretary Brandon Lewis to exempt goods coming from Great Britain from checks amounted to a “violation” of the withdrawal agreement.
“This is the second time that the UK government is set to breach international law,” the statement said. “This also constitutes a clear departure from the constructive approach that has prevailed up until now.”
Trade and Co-operation Agreement not yet ratified by the EU. No trade deal still possible.

how do they think they will do significant trade with anyone if you don’t keep your word?

Quite right though. What right do the Europeans have to tell us what we can and can't do? We're an independent nation - get over it! And as in independent nation we're no longer tied down by bullying Brussels bullies. We only signed that deal so we could get out quickly. It doesn't mean anything. Has anyone got any earplugs?
A 'lighter touch' 
Shit, just wave everything through...

Fecking hell, this UK government is full of imposters. Shiny, shiny words and sweet talking, while they can‘t even implement customs control.
This was impossible to predict.

Farage's new job, providing British wind to power UK Homes.

Politicians really are full of hot air
Ugh. They’ve gone full Trump
Not just unavoidable, but inherently inevitable!
The last so called 'deal' was a decoy, something strung together to rescue both sides, it always going to be 'bent or broken', as and when, because both sides are still intent on giving each other a 'kicking'.
The 'tit for tat' will go on for a while yet, especially as everyone seeks to recover from Covid; whether its vaccine's going one way or sea-food going the other. A transient period of adjustment in trade and other areas (knock-ons) will be in place for a while yet before a steady state is achieved. As with all such turmoil there will be winners and losers and with most situations... first up best dressed, will apply.
British wind, honestly
For a man of mature years you have an incredibly immature take on the world.
To be fair, there is a lot of wind in the UK. Klopp has pointed this out on a few occasions.
Thank you will take that as a compliment, I'm still young at heart!
So blaming both when it was UK who started. You have no shame
No shame! Plenty of ‘exclamation’ marks though!
When Johnson announced the UK would be Global Britain, presume he didn't mean have court cases with the rest of the world by p!ssing off the EU (breaking the WA and GFA) , the USA (GFA) and China(HK).
It's not an immature take but an ignorant one, I'm not saying it as an insult but that's what it is. The current issues that the UK have exist for pretty much every none EUCU/EEA countries and also apply to EUCU/EEA countries when they trade with other trade zones. International/interregional trades require lots of paperwork and in the case of sea-food you need to either prove that they have been harvested in none polluted waters or purify them before export; the UK happens to not have enough facilities to purify the volume of polluted sea food that they used to export to their then EU partners and purified shellfish aren't as in demand on international markets which is why EU consumers decided to avoid british producers.
To be fair, China are bang out of order.
True but they were supposed to be one of the emerging markets for future trade. Should have stuck with his mates.
Hey at least they have wind farms powered by British air.
I hope they’ve trademarked British air because

- they should get floods of orders from the gullible "ex-pats/immigrants" who voted leave living on the Costa del Sol.Pretty accurate opinion piece in the Observer today...
Johnson sold Britain a botched EU deal and no amount of spin or downright lies can conceal that it is falling apart

None whatsoever, could see this coming a mile off, its has become something of a 'Mexican standoff'.
Who is to blame hardly matters now both sides will engage in 'fisticuffs' as and when.
Unreal that they're out of stock. Not just because it means people have actually paid for this but because, you know, it's not as if someone is working in their air factory trying to fix the broken air machine.
I'm also willing to bet my house* that the bottles that they use come from China.
*Pexbo's house, not mine.
Thought this was a funny video.
Heard a rumour that the ERG were trying to recruit another 50 Brexiteers to get their combined IQ into double figures.
How many trade deals has Meghan agreed?
ZERO
Honestly, she's been shocking, no wonder she's run back to America with her tail between her legs.
I watched that episode of Fringe that she's in the other day and this morning I couldn't get any milk from my local shop because, I'm presume, all the British cows were too depressed due to her destroying our beautiful monarchy.
Maguire would prefer English born Duchess that understands the game.
Maguire's far from alone in that unfortunately.
UK triggered article 50. Both to blame. UK started this now with the northern irland border. Again both to blame. You definitely have no shame
You see everything but you only comment about after it happens. It might be that you need to come from miles away from where you see everything to explain us personally and it already happened unfortunately
