In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Projecting somewhat there, i don't think i'll be learning anything about the game from you.
And talking bollox is talking bollox.
And what is is Utd in 6th place, even after a total collapse from Arsenal & Liverpool shitting the bed at home against every bottom half team in the table.
True. Klopp is a two dimensional manager. This is offset by a rapidly deteriorating Wenger. Bet many gooners were delirious he signed on another two years.
You are not keeping your key players.You have a weaker squad.
That does not mean the scousers are winning the title. Neither of you are.
As for your opinions on Mourinho and United.
Its simple envy.
Honestly, that's really not the impression I've had.

I watched a lot of United games last year, can't recall feeling envious at any stage.
Must gall Jose to finish behind a rapidly deteriorating Wenger having massively outspent him.
What are you on about, he clearly prioritised the EL at a crucial time of the season. We could have easily got third if we were fully focused on the league in the last two months. Shit sides don't win two trophies in a season, not to mention a European trophy. United were brilliant to watch from November up until the league cup final. We created a crazy number of chances but didn't have a clinical finisher. Jose changed to a more pragmatic approach after, not amazing to watch but won him the EL and made us hard to beat. We need to address the forward situation. United will be challenging next season. No Thursday football, Chelsea and Liverpool have to focus on more than one game a week. Spurs will struggle at Wembley and Arsenal have EL(it makes a difference). Jose will have a more settled side and is always better in his second season.
And what was he prioritizing the other 9 months of the season you were in 6th position?
Not with Wenger in charge. They will bottle it and pick up their game when all is lost only to fool their fans once again.
same shit from the scousers. "We finished 4th"
yeah right. We qualify for the group stages of the CL after winning two trophies. They still have to qualify.
And has been said, I enjoyed seeing us play last season. Sure we needed to score more.
Speaking to a long time United supporter like me, he thought Mourinho may well achieve more than Fergie.

Keep saying sixth if it makes you feel better. There was only a few points between second and sixth for most of the season. We have automatic CL and united will be remembered for winning 2 trophies last season. I'm confident we will be challenging next season.
You need to keep your bantz at least somewhat realistic for it to have any effect.
Good man, what's the point of football without a bit of pre-season optimism.
No United manager ever won a single trophy in his first season much less two. and a major European trophy at that.
He may end up not being right. But it is clear Mourinho was always the manger we needed after Fergie.
Who do you support man?
He's hardly a shite manager, if he has the right players he'll get them to challenge but he's been abysmal in the market for years now. Despite this he's overachieved with weak squads. One thing you can count on Arsenal to do is smash the little teams.
If he manages to keep Sanchez and signs Lacazette and has a stable defence there's no reason why they shouldn't. Easily one of the best attacks in the league.
I swear it's become normal on here every Summer for people to talk-up Arsenal's title chances. I remember getting chased out of a pre-season thread by United fans when I said they wouldn't challenge for the league after they beat Lyon 6-0 or something. It's really weird. Until Wenger leaves they will never challenge for the title.
Never said he is a shite manager. Have immense respect for him. But I cannot see him winning the league. And even if they keep Sanchez and ozil , their mentality still remains weak for a so called big club.
Arsenal.
Are you optimistic for next season? What are your expectations at the moment for Arsenal?
Depends what happens with Sanchez and who else comes in obviously. I fully expect to get back into the top 4 next season and a trophy would be nice.
Lacazette is a good buy for Arsenal and someone who fits them well. A 20+ goals a season striker. Him and Sanchez would be a nice duo
Lacazette will just be another Giroud with different play style. All depends on Sanchez, the only world class player in their team.
Even if they kept Sanchez, Ozil and get Lacazette, I don't think Arsenal will win the title. They lack that mental edge under Wenger to do so, but they will definitely make top 4 with those players and few injuries.
I don't think he'll be anything like Giroud.
Yeah, he's similar to Giroud in almost every way.
If we replaced Sanchez with Lemar, Mahrez and Lacazette i wouldn't consider it a bad transfer window, tbh. The fact is that Alexis is not easy to replace.
With a bit of luck they'll be in the top 4 again.
Lacazette should be able to score more than 20 goals per season. It is what we have lacked in the last years.
So he won't be Giroud.
Don't think it is true because it would be just crazy from Arsenal to do it, but there are reports about a new offer for Mbappe around 140 mil.
No, he'll be like Henry with a different style of play and a different outcome to his play.
Wenger was the third highest spender last summe and yet he finished fifth. All the clubs that finished above Arsenal bar City spent less than Arsenal. Wenger has been failing for more than a decade, Jose was a champ 2 seasons ago.
I don't think any sane Arsenal fan is expecting us to challenge seriously for the title next season. If United fans want to talk up our chances then more power to them, but it's misrepresentation to claim it's Arsenal fans bigging ourselves up
All 5 of you?
I'd be underwhelmed if I was an Arsenal fan. There's nothing in Lacazette's career that suggests he's going to tear it up in the Premier League. They're paying an inflated sum (standard these days) for a fairly average striker (which reflects the fact they're in the Europa League). They're seriously understrength if Sanchez goes.
In terms of output (read goals and assists). Yes, he would be imo. Not significant improvement and he is severely overrated.
Don't think we are only getting Lacazette upfront.
