In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
3-0 FT at Chelsea.
6 clean sheets out of 7 for Mendy.

Two Red Bull wins could also work. But we don't have the same H2H buffer against PSG as we have against RB.
Either way these scenarios are for progressing with 9 points. We're through as long as we get 4 more points.
Honestly I don't get why admitting he's actually a very good coach managing a team that has no business being at such level but punching way above their weight is hard for some to admit.
Yeah but its not tricky and complicated? We may not need another point if we beat Istanbul at home!
Why are you taking every single sentence said about us and only us ? It's indeed a tricky group to predict who will pass through and which one will lead it. We have the best chance alright, but it's still open for all possibilities with today results and the upcoming features, and us losing today doesn't make it nailed on for us to get first spot either, so yeah, I indeed find it a complicated group to predict.
Because the group isnt wide open if 1 side has such a huge advantage? Plus PSG have 1 foot out the door imo, thats 2 extremes in a 4 team group.
I think Istanbul will finish above PSG as well. That team is done.
Us and RB are on 6 points, PSG are on 3. Three matches to go next for all of them.
Definitely wide open for any possibilities ? Yeah on paper we should definitely defeat Istanbul next game but you seem to count it as a guaranteed win already in the bag ? At the moment, yeah anything can happen, we might even defeat Istanbul then lost the next 2 games, why not ?
We have the best chance for sure though, but it's not a done group and I definitely can't predict with confidence which teams will pass and in which positions.
Did he coach PSG, too? Not his fault the players lost it at the end. Coming back against PSG is still a good result for a "found out playstation coach", isn't it?
If only we'd have won or atleast drawn our game.
I meant that i wouldn't be a shock if clubs like Midtylland, Ferencvaros, Partizan or Malmö would lose 12 matches in a row in the Champions League but Marseille have a decent squad/coach.Marseille isn't a decent club, they're in the CL only because the Ligue 1 was stopped and the rankings were frozen. They were never gonna be in the CL if the season ended on 38 games. Having said that, they're fecking pathetic
Our result has blown the group open.
Under Ole, will we really be surprised if Istanbul and PSG do us at OT? That would mean going to Leipzig needing a result.
We risk dropping into the Europa if we don't change the manager.

Great results for the Bundesliga teams. Gladbach's hammering of Donetsk was the least expected outcome I'd say, followed by Leipzig keeping all the points vs Paris. Dortmund and especially Bayern fulfilled expectations, although Bayern didn't look so great for over an hour.
People were complaining about the amount of pressing in modern football ruining the game:
Ah, Rapid will always have a place in my heart, our class trip lodging was in line of sight to their stadium, so we'd always pass their stadium to the metro when we went anywhere. And who can hate the green and white, reminds me of Celtic.
Because I don't see a good coach.
Problem is that the number of stonecold neo nazis among the supporters is super high. It's why I stopped going to the stadium on my Vienna trips despite the amazing atmosphere during games.Ah, Rapid will always have a place in my heart, our class trip lodging was in line of sight to their stadium, so we'd always pass their stadium to the metro when we went anywhere.

Ah, I did not know that. Well then, I'll fondly remember Rapid for one of the fans throwing a glass bottle at my classmate's head, all friendly like... too drunk to hit, luckily. Or was it one of the opposing fans, I don't remember. Fun times!

Maybe it's just me but CL fixtures so far feels a bit meh. Many groups are boring.
Yep, same. Only 3 interesting games in those fixtures
Boring week. Inter vs Madrid, RBL v PSG are the only interesting ones.
Chelsea will win about 5:0
Us... I don't know... we play better as underdogs. But we have to win because group is still wide open.

Werner
Werner absolutely loves missing sitters doesn't he.
What a miss by Werner
Very clean strike from Rakitic. Good play from Ocampos as well.
As I said on Saturday, Werner is a good player, but I don’t think he’s a striker. His skill set is more suited to being an inside forward from the left wing. Watch him score a few now.
Torres-esque
Excellent pass there by Mount
Brilliant pass by mount.
0-1
Hudson-Odoi
Hudson-Odoi
Mount is an underrated player here. He has everything just needs to keep his head down
Jealous how Chelsea move the ball quickly. One touch passing with great movement and options aplenty.
They actually create chances through movement and quick accurate passing, imagine that.
Their players take as many touches as they need too which is ,to keep the tempo quick, very few.
Only Bruno,Beek and Fred would look at home in that set-up.
Rashford, Pogba, Maguire, Martial (and the rest) are all too selfish and want to take far too many touches.
