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?
Yeah that's pretty bad form.
My reaction is "heck that's a bad one, and that will definitely weaken them", but without glorying in it!
Get well soon man and i hope he makes a full recovery. Rivals or not i hate to see players getting these serious injuries.
My wording was off but the point I was getting at is they would have likely known the extent of the injury pretty soon after it happened, at at very least formed a fairly logical hypothesis based on seeing the same indicators on previous ACL tears.What is this
Hopefully it won't be Sane. Delph did a very good job there the other night against a decent Shakhtar side, and while I don't think he could perform to that level every game, I'd sooner stick him there than Sane.

City's first choice full backs are better than ours. I have said plenty of times on this forum that our left back situation is a mess and we should have sorted it out in the summer.
However we have depth and they do not. With Mendy out they look very weak in the position. Danilo is a big downgrade and they were also relying on him to cover for Walker. They have no other serious options or they would have used them last season when it was obvious that Clichy and Kolarov weren't up to it.
poor lad, wish him a speedy recovery.
Damn, that's unlucky. Whole season.
Sorry do you actually believe that?
So much for him trying to prove Castles wrong.
DaniloSo Delph at left back this season then?
Fernandinho will play there a few times no doubt, with Gundogan in the middle. Danilo the most likely to cover. Delph every now and then perhaps, but him stepping up over a lot of games would be a surprise.
Sane LWB for 60% of home games might be OK too. Let's see what he does against Chelsea and that'll give us an idea what he sees as the best solution.

Knee ligament damage isn't it? Those injuries rarely allow players to come back at the same level.
Correct. It weakens the area to the point where, as a consultant once told a friend of mine, "it becomes weak as a biscuit" (or words to that effect) as in it'll just continue to happen if too much strain is put on it .
Ie. playing football
It’s blatantly obvious, so yeah.
It's really not blatantly obvious at all. Pretty obvious to me in fact that it's the players tweeting. We'll move on.
Ffs.
double post, but im wondering if Bluemoon have come up with a conspiracy that the injury was pre planned by some voodoo doll... which was created by the FA because they dont want City to stay top.
Thats the usual tripe they come out with

There is literally no shadow of a doubt that Batshuayi runs his account, as does Mendy. Not a chance it is a PR team, at all
Did read earlier that Mendy has only once in his career played more than 30 games in a season, that true? Thats a shit record if true
Michy Batshuayi barely speaks English. Mendy has a respectable grasp, but neither has the amount where they’re so proficient to be so precise on English Twitter vernacular. I mean, it’s routine for a PR account to control accounts, I don’t know why you’re so outraged. Mendy’s and Batushayi’s tweets are near identical in style. Both played for OM and are great friends, I think it’s very obvious they are ran by the same PR Team.
I don't like City but Mendy is just fantastic. I feel for him, he is a really likeable fecker..
0:25ish
I mean, you can believe what you want, but I’m almost certain it’s PR ran. It’s so obviously done the way it panders to internet memes and twitter vernacular so accurately.
agree to disagree. No way its PR
He's played at least 30 in every season of his professional career.
Speaking a language is different to understanding it and being able to write it, to be fair. I mean, his account may be PR run, but it's hardly like they've brought Shakespeare back from the dead to run his account, he just posts memes and some banter. It's not that far-fetched to believe Batshuayi/Mendy tweet the stuff themselves. Also I just remembered Mendy's tweet when the Brighton player scored an own goal, I doubt any paid PR person would have done something like that.
Couple months?
Is he human? is that Shipman? ffsTo everyone feeling bad that he's out for the year, have a word with yourselves. Would you rather feel bad for our primary title rivals' players being out for an extended period, or would you rather be happy that it gets us that much closer to winning the league. Let's not kid ourselves. We don't feel bad he's down.
Some people still realize it's just a game at the end of the day. No one wants to see someone hurt to the extent they can't work for a year. Especially someone who knows how to have fun like Mendy.
Finally some honesty instead of all this "look how nice a person I am" nonsense.
He has an injury. He's not dying. He's going to be paid 100k a week to sit on his arse for a few months. And it gives us a better chance of winning the league.
He's still going to be paid and he will still be able to tweet and have fun. The only thing he won't be able to do is play for our main title rival.
I watch Football for competition. I would enjoy a title win a lot more if we beat them out their best. And I love Football as a sport I would much rather see talented Footballers like Mendy, Gundogan, Aguero, etc play than to not play.
Couldnt care less as I dont like him. Just because people think he is funny on twitter doesnt change the fact that it benefits us if City have injuries. He still gets paid an obscene amount of money so not like hes going to be homeless or starving while injured. Injuries are a part of football unfortunatley and we have our fair share as well like every club.
(On the other hand Aguero's car crash related injuries arent something to really cheer about considering its a car crash and not a regular injury).
Maybe I am not a "Top Red" but I hope I never get to the point when I am happy about injuries to the opposition. It is completely cowardly. You guys are so afraid of big bad City you do not think we stand a chance against them at full strength?
Yes we should all pray none of our rivals get any injuries all season so that they can maintain top form all season while we struggle with our usual injury crisies. Anything else is just cowardly.
This. Injuries are part of football and I honestly don’t care about the wellbeing or careers of any rival players.
whats the issue with Aguero? Thats a huge blow with chelsea tomorrow
Is Danilo so hopeless that after spending heavy money on him two months later they have to replace him already?
