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.
Overmars got on a bit...
They're a breath of fresh air.
Yeah, he said that, but said the "who knows" thing right after.
Hope he stays though.
They really, really should win it now. I'm rooting for them all the way, they deserve it.
Some of their football today was ridicilous. Juve couldn't cope with it.
Imagine them now going out against Spurs. That would be the anti climax of the century.
Those two clubs sort of have a friendship that goes back a long time.
Agreed, there are, but they're not as popular as football and the Champions League. All I'm saying is that a hierarchy of clubs is inevitable. Hierarchies, in general, are inevitable.
Please win the whole damn thing.
Yes, this. Surely every neutral is rooting for them.
Hopefully an Ajax-Barca final with de Jong scoring the winner against his future employers.
can just see them passing Spurs off the park
Had a soft spot for Ajax since the seventies.
Went on a school trip to Holland & Belgium and one of the places we visited was Ajax's stadium.
Nice to see them doing well again, hope they win it.

A good read about Ten Haags work at Utrecht.
I have a feeling that Pep will leave in the summer of 2020, and this guy wil be the replacement unless Bayern or Barca snatch him up in the summer.
The football they played against Juve was at times mindblowing (Only watched the second half). They cut through them with ease, and the way they moved as a unit in both ends of the pitch were fascinating. It looked so easy for them to create chances, and Juve simply didn't know What to do.
Looking forward to see if they can do the same against Spurs.

Which ever club wins it will be amazing for football.
Though I kinda want Ajax to win it.
Wow. Couldn't recognize him from the electric attacker in his pomp back in the day.
The Social Media team strikes again.
They signed a goalie today. There were some hardcore fans who didn't want him at the club because he wrote some anti-Ajax comments on twitter when he was like twelve or something.
So they made him write lines as "punishment" -Ajax is the most beautiful club in the Netherlands-

So does that mean Onana is definitely gone this summer?
No, he will stay (at least) another year.
I have no idea why they signed Scherpen. Not because of his past, but because he's simply a terrible goalkeeper.
His only perk is that he's tall and even then he's shite with high balls into the box. He's not shown any promise at all if you ask me.

Not sure if anyone looks that good if they play at Emmen though. I wonder if they scouted him at a younger age, rather than based on just this season.
As an outfield player, no you're right, but he's a goalkeeper whos made quite a few massive mistakes this season. I just dont ever see him as Ajax number one. Do you?
That video Ajax made is fecking brilliant though
Came by this forum and saw this post, have to say it made me smile. Ajax into the semis after playing neither Roma nor Porto and they are in a decent position in the league at the moment.
Unlike most here I actually watch most of Ajax's matches my opinion here was not based on nothing. But, I was happy to be proven wrong.
That's the benefit of hindsight. No one in their right mind thought Ajax would get this far.
Well, one of my Ajax supporting mates did and put 100 euros on them winning the CL. He cam cash out for 1400 now, but he's going to ride it out
And on paper Juve was the worst draw imaginable for them. Ajax have a tendency to play well and not win and Juve prides themselves on getting results when they are not playing well. Last season they were bumping their chest after knocking out Spurs even though they were outplayed for 160 of the 180 minutes. Plus with Cristiano who has dominated this competition over the years.That's the benefit of hindsight. No one in their right mind thought Ajax would get this far.

I agree on the CL part, but I was mostly referring to the convincing way you said that psv was going to win the Eredivisie this season. Don't get me wrong they still can win it, but their chances are getting smaller.
Completely agree. No clue why Ajax signed him. Besides being tall he's a terrible goalkeeper. Just another Dutch talentless goalkeeper. The only 'sane' reason for Ajax to buy him might be financially. He won't cost that much but he's a GK for Oranje (-21s?) and if he plays a half decent season on loan at Emmen next season and maybe the season after then Ajax could sell him on with a decent profit. However I really don't see him being a #1 GK for Ajax.
boy waterman
Honestly havn’t paid attention to Emmen, I must admit. So don’t know. He’s young, tall, going to get intensive keeperstraining... who knows?As an outfield player, no you're right, but he's a goalkeeper whos made quite a few massive mistakes this season. I just dont ever see him as Ajax number one. Do you?

I mean, Veltman made the first team...
And yeah that video is... class.
I thought they were grooming Kotarski to take over for Onana.
Domestic cup seemingly in the bag, 2-0 up at half time.
Lovely header that. Very subtle.
Weirdly, it kind of looked like a match up to the 1-0.
Willem II were better IMO.
But that's the thing with clubs like them. They can play well, but can lose it in minutes.

What are the players in black doing? Aren't you supposed to pass the ball to the opposition or back to the keeper after 2 passes?
You're right. They need a touch of Ole.
That was the first good touch of Christensen's career I think.
hahaha, he's terrible.
