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?

Is there such thing as fantasy for college football? Interested in giving it a go if so.
There is, though I don't know how popular it is.
A more interesting option for me would be devy, which is where you draft college players to eventually be on your NFL fantasy team. Never got around to trying it yet.
That does sound interesting, wouldn’t mind giving that a go
Did not know we were recruiting London, or that it had NFL academies...

What is '6 (Med)?' Like three stars?
Level of confidence in the prediction.
Very cool. Never seen that before.

Where do they think they can go? Package deal with Clemson to the Sec? Even up the numbers in the Big10 after it gobbles up the best of the rest of the Pac12?
Not sure. SEC would be the most logical choice. It was years ago we cashed in by getting into the ACC from being an independent, it was only a matter of time til when we looked for greener pastures.

Not going to lie, the conference realignments have taken a lot of fun out of the preseason for me.
I quite like the idea of super conferences. I guess it’s no fun if you’re a PAC 12 or ACC fan though.
The Big10 was bloated already, even before USC came on board. Now we want to add Oregon and Washington?
It pretty much decimates the Pac-12.
Not sure how this benefits college football as a whole. Cal and Wazzu host good programs, they don't deserve shafting. I guess we'll see how things evolve.
It's almost like some competent committee should be in charge instead of individual organizations doing whatever they want but, alas, the NCAA...

The death of the PAC-12 is really sad and infuriating and can be laid at the feet of one single man: Larry Scott. His absolutely disastrous fixation on making his baby, the PAC12 Network, work is the direct cause of the PAC-12's demise. I mean, it's kind of impressive. Normally it takes a village to burn down a castle, but this motherfecker did a solo run.
Depending on who you want to believe, it might also be the fault of the Longhorn Network and OU wanting to play Nebraska each year.
Regardless, I don't think it is collapsing in this manner with OU/UT in the fold.
Maybe, but you think OU and UT are joining a conference making 25% of other conferences in TV revenue? Scott, literally, bet everything on the PAC12 network and lost.

ACC - Pac4 unite!
Or whatever, I've given up on making sense of things.

Tell me the other ACC schools don’t want to be academically shamed with telling me.
Who cares what FSU and Clemson think? They are gone first chance they get regardless.
How is this supposed to work with other sports with lesser budgets? Is the FSU weightlifting team (for example) expected to bus it or fly coach across the US multiple times to ACC schools on the west coast, while juggling classes and all?
Football revenue (&, to a much lesser extent, MBB) can underwrite those programs.
I remember reading somewhere most football programs are strapped for cash. Clemson and FSU may be fine; would NC State be good? Remains to be seen I guess
This pretty much sums up how I feel about the changes happening with college football. West Coast teams in the Big 10 and possibly the Atlantic Coast Conference is just jumping the shark levels of silly to me.
