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?
Hoping for a good game for Mudryk. No Cucurella is a good sign.
Tongue in cheek. But if they lose tonight, fail to beat So'ton on Saturday and lose to Spurs, who knows...Do you think he could be sacked before the return leg?
They'll beat Saints. Perhaps Spurs as well as Spurs have been poor in big games this season (other than vs City).
Probably true, think they'll find some decent form soon. Then again they've failed to beat Fulham (twice) and West Ham lately.
Expecting Chelsea to do ok in this tie, they've done quite well in Europe this and last season despite the patchy league form and owner troubles. Dortmund have had some poor displays in recent times to Ajax, Sporting, home loss to Rangers. Will be interesting how both teams fare right now and can that crazy Jan spend show.
Otamendi has aged like... wood
He has woodworm?
By the same analytical logic I expect Lewandowski to secure the return leg for Bayern and Rangnick to get smashed by Barca.
Touched a nerve I see. Like clockwork aren't you?
Yes, thinking 18(?) month old games have any meaningful bearing on the present totally got me. I just hope Rose can find the right answers on the pitch.
Dortmund's tifo is amazing
Whaddya know? Already a near inexplicably harsh call and card on James that even the commentators don’t understand. Par for the course. It would be nice to just be playing an opposing team once in awhile.
That is again a game in which I would love that both teams (BVB and Chelsea) could lose.
fecking ridiculous booking. Disallow the goal but don't book him for the handball when the reason he handballed it because he was shoved.
Chelsea look dreadful.
Only seen 5 mins but Chelsea are getting battered.
Dortmund can and should score
Chelsea are laughably shite
The speed of borussia dortmund is scary
what a miss
Can't play Enzo DM all the time, there's no connection between midfield and the offensive players.
Felix is doing everything but scoring. The pace from both teams in attack has been great to watch.
Missed two sitters so far..
He’s not a goalscorer. That’s been the problem with everybody wanting us to sign him from the start
Chelsea had the 2 biggest chances of the game. Joao Felix should have at least 1 goal by now. Dortmund have had chances and are generally dominating the game but damn, when chelsea breal through they really get opened up
Enzo and Felix are different class.
He does have amazing technique though to get into those positions. I can see why many would want him.
This is great honestly. Stupid game, but ridiculous pace and great entertainment
crazy it's still 0-0.
One of the most entertaining 0-0's in a while. Dortmund lacking that final pass at times but their intensity at times has been impressive. Let's see if they can carry this into the second half.
Chelsea definitely look likely to score as well on the break.

This has been a good watch. Both teams just bypassing the midfield at will to attack through the flanks. Just need some goals now, preferably for Dortmund.
I think Dortmund have been a bit naive. Offering a too much on the counter, while having too little payoff from their risk-taking.
Benfica given penalty, for a similar foul to that on Weghorst a couple of weeks ago against Forest (had to check which game it was)
Bellingham got lucky. That could/should have been a second yellow
And Can getting closer to a second yellow as well… 
Bellingham should be off.
Can only turned 29 recently
edit: nevermind, I had him mixed with Khedira so it's not that strange.

It's that time of year again...
So what is up with away goals?
