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?
Bayern PSG may well be decided by who picks up more injuries at the WC.
WC final is on 18.12, the first leg of Bayern-PSG is on 14.2., almost two months later.
This will be a very atypical season. WC is influencing things already.
Enough for not only severe but also mid-term injuries to still impact match fitness , isn't it? Out for four to six weeks, just enough to maybe get the fitness back but not a lot of game time even in training. Of course most of our players won't make the finals
Don't you guys want to wait for injuries to actually occur, before you have a meltdown over them?
no, we just want to complain about the ***** worldcup.
I can see Liverpool winning this if they get past Madrid. We'd never hear the end of it.
That run of fixtures looks rough but I would be willing to bet pretty heavily they go unbeaten during it. Beating Madrid at home and drawing away.
Could just be one of those years.

Same. I think they can do it over 2 legs.RAWK is going to be an interesting read the next couple of days
That said, I don't know why but I feel this might be the year where Liverpool knocks them out
Every madridista right now 
They'll pump 4 past us at Anfield"
"Van Dijk injured, liverpool is 6th, Salah turns into Ansu Fati when he plays Madrid, their best midfielder is Thiago, Vini owns TAA, and the return leg is at the BernabeuTweet

Real are dreadful without Casemiro. Dippers are finally going to beat them this year
Expect them to. But tbf no Casemiro isn’t our biggest problem at the moment. Everything is going wrong, Case would just share in the misery. Like many times in the past.Real are dreadful without Casemiro. Dippers are finally going to beat them this year
Have you seen Liverpool lately?Real are dreadful without Casemiro. Dippers are finally going to beat them this year
CL Real Madrid are a different club.Real are dreadful without Casemiro. Dippers are finally going to beat them this year
Have you been watching Liverpool this year too? They’ve lost to Leeds and forest.Real are dreadful without Casemiro. Dippers are finally going to beat them this year
We'll knock each other out.Real are dreadful without Casemiro. Dippers are finally going to beat them this year
Not true. We could be bought with oil money tomorrow, buy all of Madrid's first XI by day after tomorrow and still lose both legs to them 1-0.
As brilliant as Casemiro has been for United, I think holding midfielder (Camavinga, Tchouameni) is the strongest position in Madrid's squad with CB (Militao, Rudiger, Alaba, Nacho) and goalkeeper (Courtois).Real are dreadful without Casemiro. Dippers are finally going to beat them this year
I think the main weakness is the full backs at the moment.
What misery? As far as I can see you're very close to the top of the table.
This would make sense if Liverpool weren't even more dreadful these days.Real are dreadful without Casemiro. Dippers are finally going to beat them this year
CL is CL, so obviously can go either way though.

With Neymar probably missing the second leg it's a big advantage for Bayern.
That gap between the first and seconds legs are huge, or has it always been like that?

The tie looks pretty balanced on injuries now. We'll be missing Neuer, Hernandez, plus most likely Mané and Mazraoui. Maybe Gravenberch.
Yes, his sister's birthday...

Bayern seems to be the favorite even during the away game (betting odds).
I can’t see Paris go through. I mean they did last time but Bayern was better in both games and they have a stronger squad now.
PSG has a very poor defense. Bayern on the other end has Upamecano, De Ligt, Cancelo, Davies, Pavard.
Paris would need Mbappe in the starting eleven to have a chance. Bayern will miss Hernandez and Mane, both quality players.

Forgot Spurs were even in it.
The sheer nostalgia wants to see AC Milan absolutely crush it in the CL knockouts.
I've seen reports Verratti will be available? Him coming back is essential for PSG. They need some grit in that midfield
Rumors in Milan are that Pioli wants to start with a back 3 of Kalulu-Thaw-Tomori tonight. Putting in a kid with barely 200 minutes this year into the starting line up against Harry Kane could go quite terribly. Also Calabria seems like he might get benched, and Saelemaaekers is supposed to start on the right. Doubt Leao will start and Bennacer is still out. Brahim and Giroud will have to play out of their skins if Milan are to have a chance tonight.
I expect two away wins tonight. PSG have been horrible after World Cup. I watched some of their matches and most of their players looked totally uninterested in what they were doing, hope for them something will change after hearing Champions League anthem but Bayern are the FAVOURITE to win it this season..
About San Siro game: Even if the absence of Bentancur-Hojbjerg duo in the midfield could be a big problem for them, we've simply been too horrible in the past weeks to think we can win this.. Their defence, with the return of Cuti Romero, should be good enough against the toothless attack we've shown in the past month and they have just too many good players upfront to not score a couple to our laughable defence..
My prediction: 1-3 Bayern, 0-2 Tottenham

They were all out for multiple weeks and suddenly all started training again last Sunday.
Going to be cheering on our new feeder club tonight. Come on PSG.
