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.

But I think that's the perception of him. Suppose it comes down to how you define masculine, I guess. But he is this alpha male, shoulders back, strutting around like he owns the place type of figure. Also, it's not merely about looks, either. He's assertive, ultra-confident, and extremely competitive. I think these things count. To be honest, I can see why he would gravitate towards someone like Peterson.
Just to be clear, I'm not holding him up as this kind of masculine ideal. It's more about the perception of him.
This thread is full of haters jealous of CR7’s success in the sport and with women … I can’t wait for him to score a match winning hat-trick against Argentina in the World Cup final and dedicate it to you lot!
His daughter’s pics on the internet indicate that she practices the exact opposite of what her father advocates.
She got married and started a family. The very definition of conservativism.
This is how you make up your mind about someone? You take an extremely vague and short statement from a random person on a football forum, and that's enough?
Twitter-esque post.
Keep searching ...She got married and started a family. The very definition of conservativism.
She was selling a weird carnivore diet and going out with Andrew Tate, the apple didn't fall very far from the tree.Keep searching ...

After the clean your room chapter, did he write one on plucking your eyebrows and shaving your legs?
Don't think so. But he did write a chapter on how shit Messi is in comparison.
Mourinho spent a fortune with little to show for it, nearly all his signings were flops and became toxic as he'll because the club wouldn't buy him Maguire(look how that turned out).
The funniest thing is that he orginally used the footballing einsteins phrase to defend his big signing Pogba. Still he had a point...at the time
More Surprised his PR machine allowed this one out.
Jorp's always telling everyone to clean their room, it makes sense that he's be a big fan of a footballer who's washed up.
That dude above must be some kind of mind reader. Alright I finally admit. I am two jealous of his accomplishments bedding multiple women. Hopefully hell has a place that's less merciful on heathens like me.
Really disappointing. As a Ronaldo fan, he should use his mind a little outside of football sometimes.
The last season of the Ronnie Show was a bit flaky, and this season hasn't gotten off to a great start, so I can understand the introduction of the "crazy old friend from college that he hasn't seen since he moved from Seattle" character to try and improvr viewership. Personally I would have teamed him up with a crime fighting squirrel or something but then I'm not a Hollywood writer...
It would have been better for him to show himself teaming up with Zlatan, to learn how to age gracefully and be a proper leader and mentor to the team
Not a fan of the company he is sharing. Washed up piece of shit. Tbh just makes me rethink all the shires he's been accused of in the past now and think he probably did do those things to the women.
Cristiano doesn't seem a particularly nice person based on this stint back at United.

Hillarious Ronaldo card.
I wonder what 99 pace and physique looks like if Haaland has 89/87 and Ronaldo has 81/75. Can Ronaldo outpace or outmuscle a single CB in the PL anymore?
Overall fifa rating 90, 91 being the highest (Lewy, Mbappe, De Bruyne). That brings me to question, how are the pundits commenting on Ronaldo performances? I don't remember anyone mentioning him lately. Is it the "better not to speak about him" strategy?
Maguire but we will never know.
I don't know man, the way Maguire took out Shaw suggest he got some good wresting moves in his arsenal, not a clear win for Ronnie at all.
Outpace, not outmuscle.
Maybe Maguire for outpace and Lindelof for outmuscle. Ultimate test in PL.
Easy. You'll be bombarded with tears by the JP Ronaldo fanboys.
The very best Ronaldo can do to help Manchester United riiiiiiight now, is to offer himself up to Chelsea in January and help screw up their season.
Should’ve moderated it to CBs he’ll face in the PL.
I dont know who this Jordan Peterson guy is but it has nothing to do with football. People here just post anything that can make them bash Ronaldo.
I took a look at the Real Sociedad game again, and i would say his pace is still the same as last season. His problem during that game wasnt pace, but more of finishing and wrong decision making (overdribbling when he could have made a pass). Lets see how he fares against Sheriff.

I agree with you here. I do believe the criticisms of his performances this season are being significantly overblown. He's still doing some good things, he's still got the movement and positioning to get plenty of chances. He's just struggling to put it all together, much like he was in the middle part of last season when he had that bad patch. Ultimately he got out of that rut last season, and I expect he'll do the same again this season.
That's not to say that I think he'll be great or anything, but I reckon he'll be a useful player to start some games and come off the bench in others.
Same. I’ve never heard of the guy before. And didn’t even look twice when I saw Ronaldo post him.
I personally don’t really care about anything he does outside football if it doesn’t affect his on pitch performances.
He is going to shoot The Sheriff.
If you don't know who Jordan Peterson is and what he's about, how can you have an opinion on the issue? It's sort of the crux of the matter.
Haaland will for sure be upgraded in the first update with a 93-94 top speed, but the acceleration will probably be a fair bit lower.
Ronaldo is downgraded far too much in terms of speed. He's still a very fast player, and he has started most seasons slowly over the last five years or so. What Messi has done to be above him based on last season form, for instance, I have no idea. Messi and Ronaldo being equally fast... weeeeell
He has lost his pace and his touch has become worse. There were three specific occasions against La Real alone, where he didn't even get a shot away because of bad touches or lack of pace. Other times he was 35 yards out when he should be at the end of a cross in the box. He did actually press in that game, I'll give him credit for that.
