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?
Ridiculous decision.I do miss the monumentally, against the grain wind-up factor that you contribute, when you vanish for long periods.
He should have broken his skull, the FA doesn´t mind that.
Siege mentality. Fly the Red flag.
won't bet against the FA increasing the ban if the appeal fails.
A serious dent in our title challenge...
Well done FA.
Well done FA.
I think this 4 match ban is extremely harsh on Patrice, it was a bit of handbags and nothing else really. Nobody got seriously hurt and everybody walked away unscathed from it so to ban him for such a period of matches is disgraceful really. What did Drogba get for throwing a coin into the crowd and then giving them the middle finger? Was it 3 matches?
Absurd really when you think about it. Let's hope Sheasy can step up and be counted for or is Fabio finally ready for action

With all due respect to some of you i think the suggestion that the English FA or any of the others in the British Isles for that matter, do not care about racism in football or that this is a mockery of the work that is done elsewhere, well it's a bit of a cheap jibe don't you think? Not to mention false and an insult to the work that they do in the area and the disparity as far as other nations are concerned.
Attack the decision, the panel, even spin the conspiracy theories and pile chips on your shoulders, however many of you should be better than the above.

fecking farce the FA is.

Drogba and Carragher get 3 for throwing a coin at the crowd, Evra gets 4 for this. What can you say?
the matches he is banned from are not really that high profile...we will do well enough....
...that does not mean the FA are not totally ridiculous mind....

Nice little slur in the Guardian's report from today's game:
Having been hit with a four-match suspension for a post-match scuffle at Chelsea that had few witnesses and caused no injury - heaven knows what the FA might have done to him had he cracked anyone's skull during a game - Patrice Evra made possibly his last domestic appearance of the year at left-back.

this is fuken bullshit
we better appeal !
we better appeal !
Like hell he did, didn't even get charged for it.
I think it is debatable whether United appeal, the FA are fecked and unlikely to change their minds, if anything they will make it worse. This isnt the worst run of games to miss Evra either plus he will be back for Chelsea in January. The 4 games is ridiculous had he walked up to Terry and done 'provoked or unprovoked' the worst he would have got was a red card and 3 games out, this being in the middle of a match. Yet warming down after a match, where I dont even think he played in some knob starts shit with him and he gets 4 games, absolutely outrageous, maybe 1, maybe. Personally I think the fecking person who provoked should have a lifetime ban from Premier League pitches if they are gonna be this harsh on Evrathis is fuken bullshit
we better appeal !
Well, he got the same punishment as Drogba.
He did. He got three games. It was some 6-7 years ago mind.
Is Evra allowed to play reserve games during his ban and would that be an option in order for United to try and keep him match fit?

You wanna stand still while i throw a coin at your eye?? A coin could easily blind a person permanently, u know??
It's not that that's the problem with the coin throwing. It's the fact that it may lead to crowd reaction and potential rioting.
He was sent off immediately and got a 3 game ban as a result. Would probably have been more IMO had the ref not reacted straight away.
What was Neville's sentence for kissing his badge?
Why is kissing the badge an offence?
See post #222
Interesting. Displaying loyalty to the club you play for could provoke a riot. Nanny state or plain stupidity?
My question remains, I'm getting forgetful in my old age, was Neville suspended or only fined for kissing his badge?
Thanks for that. I think the fact he was only fined is the reason I forgot his punishment - if he'd been banned I would have remembered.
Yes,this decision is obviously a part of major conspiracy by the FA to prevent Manchester United from succeeding.
Nothing to do with your players acting like twats and starting a fight with CFC ground staff. Nothing to do with your club changing their story more than once on the incident and their outrageous racism claims which Chelsea vehemently denied right from the start, the claims, that turned out to be lies, by the way.
Whether Evra deserved such a lengthy ban is a different matter. But it doesn't change the fact that it was your players who were largely responsible for what had happened, a fact that somehow escapes everybody's attention here.

Do you ever listen to yourself? FOUR games for some handbags way AFTER the game?
It's ridiculous. And corrupt.
yes cause having a bit of handbags with some fat chelsea groundsman after the game is definitely worse than lobbing a coin into a group fans. well done genius
Antihenry is an established moron who, for some reason, thinks he can offer authoritative opinions on legal matters. These opinions are almost always exposed as complete and utter nonsense which does, at least, provide some comedy value.
Check out the recently bumped thread on Mikel, for more of the same.
