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.
You just can’t get ‘y’all’ right.
Wonder if he would have been fired if he didn't lie & brag about driving into protesters & actually did so...

Yal'l.
What a joke.
My fiancee' works for a county health department in upstate NY. Two of her coworkers (PT) got fired.
PT as in part-time, at-will? That sucks. On what grounds?
Yeah, part time...
NY State mandate that all government workers must be vaccinated
The two healthcare workers had been in their positions for years. Even the vaccinated workers are upset they were let go because both jobs could have been done remotely
As someone with multiple family and friends who work in ER’s and are suffering through the outrageous selfishness of the unvaccinated I say good riddance.
The paraplegic incident is sickening and is now making the rounds on CNN International, can only imagine how Europeans view US policing.
What's additionally scary of this incident is the union head sees nothing wrong but the mayor is concerned.

But reaction to the body camera footage was mixed. Jerome Dix, president of Dayton Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #44, defended the officers' conduct, the Dayton Daily News reported.
"The officers followed the law, their training and departmental policies and procedures," Dix said. "Sometimes the arrest of noncompliant individuals is not pretty, but is a necessary part of law enforcement to maintain public safety, which is one of the fundamental ideologies of our society."

That's pretty fecked up
What the feck
This should be a murder investigation.
His explanation is insane, given the circumstances.
I'm sorry but what the actual feck?
How will the bootlickers defend/justify this? They should be around anytime now.
Well she obviously broke into the van and committed suicide just to make the cops look bad.
Words fail.
Words fail.
Well of course she did, being black in america within 2 miles of a copper? Clear cut open and shut case of suicide.
Dear god.
Don't waste your time. It's Alabama .
Yeah, those headlines are just mindblowing. I mean....how the feck do you explain that?
Rage against the Machine explained it pretty well.
You just know the local police union will come out with a doozy of a defensive statement in short order.
Why would they even bother doing that? They are protected down there.

This will not shock you, but that douche bag is an ally of Roy "I like em young" Moore.
Compare this to the police involved with the recent killings in Norway. The police in Norway are considering asking for an investigation of themselves.
Worst part of it is that the police force that committed this gruesome act will also be the ones to investigate it.
What a shit system.
What a shit system.
Yeah, we shouldn't even be shocked any longer.
My mind was going nuts thinking what the hell happened. While we wait for the autopsy, it's a weird one, but looks like she entered into it by herself and there is footage etc.
Family members of Christina Nance say she crawled into a Huntsville Police Department van and was there 10 days before her body was found.

Edit: and some of the video that they were talking about
So much for rushing to judgment.
so a police officer walking by discovered the body. No sign of foul play but toxicology to be done, so possible suicide or overdose. Mental illness at play maybe.
I get that the family is grieving, but the woman is still suspicious and questioning the blurry video. Looking for someone to blame, namely the police, for a payday. Good luck with that.
edit-I just realized I should wait until the autopsy is done before putting my 2 cents in.

As someone who lived in Alabama for 20 years I can tell you with 100% certainty that the family had every right to have suspicions. Bull Connor was only 60 years ago. Plus the Huntsville police department has previous. I thought the bold was beneath you, but I guess not.
When it was first reported that she was dead in a police van, yes of course it would be suspicious. I was too when it was first posted. But after initial investigations and discovery of the video, they're saying it's too blurry and isn't really her. I don't think it's reasonable to still have suspicions of the police at that point, objectively. But I'm not in their shoes, so.
As far as the payday comment, I'm just calling it how I see it. I don't blame them at all. It's what anyone would reasonably do. You blame someone for a loss, preferably one with deep pockets. Police officers sue their own city/department all the time looking for a payday so they're no different.
Good that they're doing the right thing and filing criminal charges. Horrible cnut.
If you look at grief and a search for something to give your grief meaning and your first thought is "payday!"..... well... you must be a broken human being or have never lost someone you desperately love because I know exactly what they are feeling. The grief smashes you in the head. It consumes you. It smothers you and the only thing that gives you room to breathe is the search for answers and to give their death meaning. No "reasonable" person who is suffering that grief is looking for a payday. If your last statement is true it is no wonder your profession no longer sees us as human.
wow you make some far fetched assumptions about me. But yes I’ve experienced loss at a fairly young age, and know all about grief.
Not sure which last statement you’re talking about.
But I thought you were all about making wild assumptions about others. “I call it like I see it.”, right?
For some people, their "payday" is a reaction on the Internet. Just calling it as I see it.
