In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Funny
If it wasn’t for Arteta, the fans and the media wankfest around them, I wouldn’t mind them winning

I remember when I said they couldn't possibly sustain their form and Arsenal fans laughed at me
Still extremely weird for any united fan to want city to win the league over Arsenal.
I'd add a few of their players to that list, namely Xhaka, Ødegaard and Ramsdale.
We have an awful record against them and haven't won there since 2012. So in that context, I don't think it was a bad point. However, in hindsight and considering this result now, you're absolutely right. Pressure has gotten to us and we are folding. Our inexperience showing.
Probably, esp if we play with Holding. If Saliba is back maybe it'll be 3-0.
At this moment if city go out of the cl and the fa cup its city all the way for the title. But treble is a reality and have to choose arsenal to win the league to stop city from doing the treble.
I don't want City to win it but at the same time I'll laugh at Arsenal considering how cocky they've been. It's schadenfreude!
Moreover, this Arse team has never quite felt like the real deal. I'm not sure they would even go to the latter stages of the Champions League.
I want Arsenal to win it especially with City going for a treble but this lot are fecking cringe as well, it’s hard not to take pleasure in watching them bottle it
So unlikable this lot
I just don't care one bit about their achievements. It's all fake
I want to say hello to the Arsenal fans, what a time to be alive.
want vs not care are two very very different things
They should be proud of where they've got to given the expectations for them this year were nothing more than a tough battle for top four and a cheeky cup, maximum. They have a cracking young squad and a manager who may be one cheesy motherfecker but has silenced his critics, who were writing him off as an over-promoted joke.
That said if they do let this slip it's in the history books as a title bottlejob with the likes of 'I'd love it...', Agueroooo and Slippy G.
Then surely laugh at them even more for not being able to win stuff despite their competitive advantage and cheating?
Mental for any United fan to prefer City winning the league and a potential treble. Arsenal are being true rivals of ours
It annoyed me when Liverpool won the league and i know it would if arsenal do. I feel nothing when city do. I also don't live in the city so that might be a major factor
Of course Arsenal are going to bottle this. How fecking predictable.
This final stretch is the hardest part of winning a league and Arsenal are already being found wanting.
They’ve still got to play City, Newcastle, Chelsea and Brighton in consecutive games so you imagine more dropped points are coming as well.

I still think they may get something at City next week and if they do today’s result doesn’t change much.
Easy 3 points
Exactly. I'll just enjoy what I can and ignore the other team.
I think so, esp with Saliba, Tomi out. And Zinchenko out today so we played with 2 of our usual back 4. Tierney can't play the inverted role and Holding is a huge downgrade on Saliba.
I want to see Arteta’s face. Have to watch MOTD.
My issue with it is city end up having to pay a fine. Maybe a suspension from CL or something. But if they aren’t stripped of titles (highly unlikely, regardless of how they paid players, those players still had to win games) then every PL they win puts them closer to us and they are not going away. Feck that, hope they get hammered in every competition they are in. People can understandably hate a lot of the cringe that comes from Arsenal and arteta, but the way they have gone about business is admirable.
If Arsenal were 2-0 down and came back to draw 2-2 last week, I would concede it was a good point even though probably not enough based on city’s form. However the context of which it happened was always going to be negative and damaging going forward. There’s no doubt Arsenal players had last week in their mind when they were 2-0 up and West Ham pulled one back. After West Ham scored the first, Arsenal went into their shell all game.
They have to get past Southampton first.
I also understand that line of thinking as well and maybe my opinion will change if they get a weak ass punishment. Maybe if they actually win the treble I might actually feel something then, it might hit me and then I might change my opinion.
I agree, I think the pressures of the title race is getting to our players. Their inexperience in these moments is showing.
That wouldn't be surprising but then their record against City is so crap. You'd think something would have to give.
Then again, Brighton and Newcastle won't be easy games for them.
They need Saliba to return.
Bloody Arsenal!
Saliba needs to return ASAP. He was the glue.
Saliba needs to return ASAP. He was the glue.
We also didn't have Zinchenko today, our style of play is dependent on him pushing up next to Partey. Tierney did OK but can't play the inverted role.
Perhaps Arsenal can beat City?
Haaland vs Holding
Unless Saliba gets reasonable game time vs Southampton, I'm not sure he'll be fit enough for City.
True, and he's been brilliant for you, but Saliba seems like your most important player from the outside. I think he's been the best CB in the league this season, and, well, Holding is a bit of a drop off in quality!
Freak results happenHaaland vs Holding
Unless Saliba gets reasonable game time vs Southampton, I'm not sure he'll be fit enough for City.
Then again Zinchenko's "defending" often creates chances and goals for the opponent.
Hilarious that they celebrated going out of Europe because they had bigger fish to fry and they'll have the advantage of playing 1 game a week, then they play like that vs West ham who played Thursday night 
Looks like me and @TheReligion were on the money yet again when we said it was extremely short sighted of Arteta to play a half hearted side in the FA Cup on 27 Jan.
The Liverpool result wasnt ideal and they were lucky to get away with a draw but its Anfield and you knew they would have a go at some point.
Todays result on the other hand was just a total bottle job.
