I never said it was a handball best you read back. You got your knickers in a knot over nothing.

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?

You said ‘near handball’. It was an actual header.
I see you’ve not taken onboard previous feedback on your posts. I’d suggest you try being a bit more grown up in your posts. As they’re coming across as very immature.
You two are still going at it? 
So it was stupidity to head the ball and not use his hands? And you want to focus on that instead of actual bad defending that cost us goals during the match, or shitty buildup play that led to very few shots.
Okay then clearly what Smalling does and what you can try to blame him for is more important to you than the team.
Exactly I said ‘near handball’. Glad we’ve clarified this but how pointless....
It’s ok I was right we got to the bottom of it. Phew.
People blaming him for the handball just shows the lengths people will go to blame him for everything. First of all, I am not sure it was even a handball, and most importantly, he was fouled for that situation, it was clear foul for everyone on the pitch except for the ref, and of course for people who don't like Smalling.
100% agree.
No one is blaming him for a handball
People need to learn to read. Jesus I shouldn’t have slagged him as the reactions have been more tedious than my two and a half hour office meeting today
Your comment was just tongue in cheek, I don't understand the outragePeople need to learn to read. Jesus I shouldn’t have slagged him as the reactions have been more tedious than my two and a half hour office meeting today
Meanwhile yours was seriousYour comment was just tongue in cheek, I don't understand the outrage
I mean, it was just a bit of gentle ribbing and I didn’t even comment on his actual performance. Yet some lost their shit, like they actually acted all flowery and outraged.Meanwhile yours was serious
Yes it could have been given, what's the issue exactly? I was making an observation.
Yes and Robbie made a light hearted response lol so again what's the issue lolMeanwhile yours was serious
Just call it a day this is going round in circles lol
Oh ffs
For me it was you making the comment that Neville called it stupid. He didnt handball I dont know what the issue is. So while the other one was light hearted, you did say it was stupid when he didnt actually do anything wrong.
It kind of was as I have no idea why you would jump with your hand up like that. It would have been such a stupid peno to give away. Anyhow I don’t care about Smalling - like whatsoever - but I just found his jump with his hand in the air most amusing. It’s ok I’ll forgive him this time but next time....
Still no idea why you would take umbrage with what I said. I get that you love him or whatever but pick a row with someone slating him. Believe me, I don’t care enough to debate Chris Smalling.
Because he didnt do anything wrong as you were just told. If he had handballed it then I would agree. He didnt.
So concentrate on things that actually matter like how we created next to nothing and defended poorly in other incidents.
Its like worrying about a tackle he makes on the edge of the box or inside the box where he got the ball. If he hadnt and given away a dangerous freekick or penalty then sure, its a mistake. But he won the header, or he won the tackle, so why on earth are you concentrating on something he didnt do wrong? Just shows an agenda.
Things he actually did wrong are far more important. Same with the rest of the team
Yeah I don’t care. I found it funny that’s it.
apparently you found it stupid too
As did Neville and anyone else that saw it....
Sounds like you care
Unfortunately for you, Smalling has always been one of those meh, boarderline irrelevant players for me. He’s just there...
Spoken like someone who cares.
Just joking, but found that whole back and fourth kinda funny. Smalling didn't do anything weird, he got pushed mid-air, lower back which makes your balance way off, which is why it was a free kick. That is also why his hand went up if you wondered, because it is natural and what happens when pushed mid air. You said you don't care, but here you are making shit up to entertain yourself.
Who cares?
Good answer
Why even make posts? Why even care about religion or anything. You are onto something here, I hope more people in here posts with the lack of care you have shown. Impressive.Thanks, Michael. Peace.
Good for him. Deserve more when compared to his teammates.

Deserves probably twice what next defender in the club makes.
120? Lol
Lot of money but it's just how our pay structure is. When you have Lingard getting 100k, then your first choice cb probably deserves a little more. Hopefully if we are renewing this, Jones is being shown the door.
Cheaper to resign than replace...
Club is f**ked

He's a good CB. We'd be in a much worse spot without him currently, UNTIL we can sign somebody better.
He's the best of our current options at actually defending.

You don't realise how depressed I got reading that.
No problem whatsoever with Smalling being extended. By far our best CB at the club, however whether he should be a starter or squad player going forward depends on the clubs ambition and who we can bring in.
Improved contracts for everyone. Jones and Darmian next.
