they’ll probably just ask us to stay on the pitch after the palace game and play again.
Carabao Cup 2022/23

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?
City really have dropped a level. As ETH says , nothing last forever
Christ
I don’t condone blackface, and yes historically it was a race thing because the joke was about the colour of skin - but this was impersonating a footballer and mocking because he was perceived to be rubbish. The pineapple and black skin were just distinguishable features of the protagonist. Surely intent and context are important in such cases?
We have a live one
Grealish, Philips etc weren't good enough signings to keep City's standards. They need to put up another 150m in the summer to replace them.
You just know they’re turning up against us on the weekend though 
I didn’t see the game but I was shocked at the match stats to see not a single shot on target from City. I was expecting 30 shots, 15 on target, and an act of god stopping City scoring at all.

It was in the 90s not the 60s.
Goal drought for Haaland.
Semis is two legs right ?
My mind is blown mate.
That was early in the season, they've improved a lot since then. Haven't lost away at a top 4 side yet, they won't be easy.
City were appalling. We wouldn't even need them to play that bad to get a result against them on Saturday. They just looked totally not on it.
Would rather avoid Newcastle in a semi final but we really should be winning this trophy now.
Aye, apparently only one English man is sensitive to racism.
I believe he can. Whilst Loan players can't play against their parent club in the Premier League, it's permitted in domestic cup competitions.
Unless United put a clause prohibiting it in his loan deal.
Imagine we will find a way to trip over our own dick
Still a tin pot trophy, but once you get in the habit of winning them, the momentum takes you off on a wave of success.
*Misguided sensitivity to racism
Love his character and mentality, great to have in the team, very willing to improve as well.
Key component of the quadruple mate.
The context was those skits brought incredible racial abuse and pressure to Lee and his family. Baddiel and Skinner knew this and doubled down every episode anyway.
There is no innocence of the time with this and even Baddiel has acknowledged this in regards to his own prejudices.
Everybody was raving about the city bench as well.
As I recall, it wasn't like a one-off, spur of the moment bit of shtick from Baddiel that he misjudged; from what I know, Jason Lee was a consistent figure of fun on the show to the extent it could easily be described as bullying. It was pervasive through most of the show's existence I believe.
Well done to Newcastle on winning the Carabao Cup
They didn't even look any better when all the first XI came on.
No, I drink wine you fvcking peasants, do keep up.
This is a huge chance. It seems Ten Hag has arrived with the luck that all good managers need. We were one header away from beating Newcastle and while the other two will give it their all we should still comfortably beat them. A trophy in his first season will solidify the effectiveness of his methods and might just inspire the players to end the season on a high.
The Football Forums are a joy when things get any way 'ethical'.
That would indicate the presence of an unaturally large penis.
Exactly!
Any what was the result? We dropped points at home.
Great chance to win a title now. We are favorites now I think.
I think that was mainly due to how comically shit he was though, wasn’t it? A bit like mocking Maguire now.
Obviously doesn’t excuse the racial elements of the pisstaking though. The fact he took literally decades to apologise for blackface, and only did so because he had his arm twisted, was poor to say the least.
It certainly was. It was definitely every bit as much bullying as the mockery Luke Chadwick received from They think it’s all over.
In this instance it was joke about Jason Lee's pineapple hair cut and he's black, as a joke it wouldn't have worked as well hence the blackface, it might appear (and probably does) racist but the intent wasn't
Seen you do that live.
Why is everyone giving in to sponsorship jargon?
It’s the League Cup you heathens

What has all this stuff got to do with the games tonight for frig sake?
