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?

Yeah. Some of the quoted posts are extremely pragmatic views. Right?
Well...Its going to be a struggle.
we were one feck up away from these above being apt
Embarrassing stuff as per usual.
why would you like to play with 9 out field players?
FA are probably going to start counting De Gea as 2 players from now on.
What made you think we would get top 4 before this game? we've been struggling away from home all season.
Don't you mean 5?
I think we will win those.
Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea
Man City 1-0 Man Utd
Arsenal 1-2 Man Utd
Southampton 1-2 Man Utd
Man Utd 3-0 Liverpool
Tottenham 0-0 Man Utd
Man Utd 0-1 Southampton
With our record of 4W, 2D, 2L against the top sides... I'm actually looking forward to playing some of the more challenging sides now. We'll get to see what happens when the opposition actually bother to do something besides camp in their half and try to nick it on the break when we're flooding forward.

Just thought that with Carrick coming back, Smalling coming into form and Rooney playing upfront would be enough to scrap top four.
This is one long goodbye.
How so? We were lucky to get the win in the end. We didn't lay siege to their goal or anything. This also isn't based on one performance, these are people's opinions based over 8 months or so
Embarrassing stuff as per usual.
We've had those two for spells not injured and playing up front yet our away form has been a problem this season.
I see us getting 8 points out of those 18. Whether that's enough to stay in the top four, I really doubt it.
I don't give a shit about top 4, I just want to see decent football. Fat headed prick has sucked the life out of our football.
Some folks here need to decide if they are fans our supporters. Game hadn't even finished and people are talking like top 4 is gone that is what is embarassing(for them!).
Same in the matchday thread. What ever happened to people actually getting behind there team?

Same thing happened with Moyes although that at least made some sense, now it's just odd.
It's also making the football section of the forum a complete no go area.
I don't believe we will get top 4..but I am overjoyed with our result. Keeps us in with a good chance if we can find some form.
I'm not sure if you're aware, but what you write on a forum has no bearing on the result whatsoever.
I'm usually on and off with this thread
All true.
Embarrassing stuff as per usual.
I think we are playing better and will achieve top 4.
I hope rooney stays up front and goes on a nice scoring run....he is looking very sharp as of late.

Those fixtures.

Chelsea - Away - D
Everton - Away - W

Optimistic, I know. But we've dug out results in the big games so far this season.

In all honesty, we're probably going to have to win all our remaining home games.
I've already accepted defeat at Anfield, so a draw from that would be a massive bonus for me.

The problem right now is Liverpool. They are on a brilliant run of 29 out of 33 points. And were facing them at their most confident too. We need to somehow beat them at Anfield because right now they have the momentum in the race for 4th.
Too optimistic, this is actually a dream scenario...but hey can't fault you for wishful thinkingThose fixtures.

I've been upset all day that we are out of the top 4. Sigh
Since when we are out of top 4?I've been upset all day that we are out of the top 4. Sigh
thats my point.
Seriously, though, why isn't this achievable? I mean, we've been pretty formidable at home this season, hence why I believe we'll win all of our home games.
The away games consist of Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa and Everton. The former two are in form, but I don't think it's unrealistic to say we can nick a draw at both stadiums. As for the latter two teams, well, you'd expect us to win both, given their form and the way they've been leaking goals and scoring a lack of.
It is a complete inversion of SAF's teams and the Moyes year where we often looked very uncomfortable and stifled in these cagey affairs (except Arsenal
). I fancy our chances against teams that will actually look to attack proactively instead of sitting back and relying almost exclusively on the counter.We already faced Villa away.
We've got to beat Liverpool if we want to be in the Champions League.
If the big teams were smart, they'd look to get men behind the ball and counter. Otherwise I see us winning or drawing most of our remaining games.
Based on how we're playing:Those fixtures.

Spurs - Home - W
Liverpool - Away - D

is a lot more likely than 14/18.
you put us to go unbeaten with only 2 draws in our toughest fixtures, judging by our performances this season - that is damn near impossible
we will beat Everton and Spurs
We need 70 points to cement a top 4 finish. We need 17 more points from our remaining 10 games.
It's going to be tough but it's not impossible.

Will be very hard, because we are the team with more problems
