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.
I care. It's not about winning the CL, it's about being in it. The financial implications for another year out will be big, not to mention losing out on big players because of that as well.
US being in CL doesnt stop us building the team?? In fact it would help more than being in the EL.
Anyway, to each their own I guess. That's just how I feel. You feel the opposite. All good in the hood.
Or we mathematically win it and the PL decide to give it us with an asterisk. But the rest applies as you mention above. Hope that makes you sleep better.As much as I would love to see that title slip away from Liverpool.
The other implications are depressing as well. Both Arsenal and Spurs will be back in CL again when it eventually restarts and we will still be in EL.
Price it takes I guess to make it 31 years.
How old are you? Why are you so proudly ignorant?
2 years no, but surely not 2 months either.
Way the virus is spreading, it could go on till end of this year at least.
Depends on how well country take action to slow the curve down.
I'm no scientist by any means so won't predict anything but 2 years seems a bit mental.
Or we mathematically win it and the PL decide to give it us with an asterisk. But the rest applies as you mention above. Hope that makes you sleep better.
I take solace in know that would not happen ever.And hey, based on the above implications, I'm opening to giving you the title as it has been deserved. Helps (me at least) the sting that you won't be able to celebrate it as normal.
Spanish flu last 2 years from what I've heard, albeit that it had waves over those 2 years. But yeah I too don't think 2 years. If you look at China, it is abating because of the hard measures they eventually took, but still not sure how long they have to keep those measures in place before it clears up.
Been hearing that the latest date for a vaccine could be a year as well, so it's really crazy atm.
Where is this 60 days thing coming from? Have seen it quite a bit, but from what I have read there is Nothing at all in the PL rule book About a cancellation of the league.
I honestly think he should be threadbanned at least, not the first time he's come in and spoken so ignorantly, and despite numerous responses in attempts to educate, but seems the thickness is exactly that...too thick.
They were discussing it on Sky yesterday.
An improvement in the weather and warmer months will put the virus to bed long before 2 years, probably be winding down by the end of summer. The later end of each year is dubbed the cold and flu season as its easier for viruses and germs to spread in colder temperatures rather than in the summer.
Real Madrid players sent home because a player on the basketball team has caught it. That’s the City game off.
Wow, Did not know that. Where has that came from?

This has not been established yet.
We would hope it behaves like the flu.
But right now don't know how this virus will behave, at least on the temperature front.
In actually fact, it's getting into colder weather in the south hemisphere and warmer up North, but is still ravaging all over regardless of weather.
So for example, here where I am, is currently entering the cold and flu season.
I just cannot see sports effectively closing down for over a year, never mind 2. It would cripple too many teams financially.
I could see a delayed start to the Premier League next season though, maybe October time it will commence.
That's the CL written off for the foreseeable then, surely?
You'd think a cure, or at the very least a means of containing the virus would have been discovered within 2 years.
Probably
Uhm isn't that referring to the Real Madrid basketball team and not the Real Madrid football team.
I mean the Spanish flu happened a 100 years ago, in a war torn Europe, where a lot of countries decided it's best to deny it's existence for the sake of war morale. There would have to be a lot of feck ups for this pandemic to be comparable.
See the tweet I posted aboveUhm isn't that referring to the Real Madrid basketball team and not the Real Madrid football team.
They share the training facilities at ValdebebasUhm isn't that referring to the Real Madrid basketball team and not the Real Madrid football team.
A 2-year gap would be catastrophic for the game. It would essentially be the end for the smaller clubs and some of the bigger ones too.
Football may never recover from the financial impact.

True, then maybe a closer one would be swine flu.
The 2009 swine flu pandemic lasted from early 2009 to late 2010.
It could follow the same trajectory, early 2020 till late 2021. But this is so much worse than the swine flu in terms of incubation, level of contagiousness etc.
I surely hope a vaccine can be found well before the end of this year though.
Noted, didn't know that.
A guy on Joe Rogan said once China lifts the lockdown, it will return.
That's that then.
Expect the PL and the rest of Europe to follow suit at some point today. God knows when we'll see football again
La Liga gone... Won't be long now before the PL is suspended too.
First death in Austria today. Big explosion of cases there. Borders closed between Austria>CZ>Italy and Utd playing there today
It would be irresponsible at this point to not suspend everything like Italy/Spain.
Lot of cases in Iran and Calafornia counter that. Plus Malaysia too is seeing increased numbers and Austrialia
Its estimated to be about 10 times more lethal than the flu. Yes, many more die from the flu than 'corona virus 2019' but it should be kept in mind this strain is only a couple of months old in its existence.
Doubt it. Any other season, maybe, but with the consequences for Liverpool and the long wait they've had, they'll try everything they can to allow the season to finishThat's that then.
