There is a lot of talk actually about it being Ozil's father's fault, depends which rumour you choose to believe.

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?

Shit. He's moving to Arsenal next year.
Moyes and Woodword have learned their lesson from the summer lads!!...He's coming 
They are attaching our bid of €25million to a pigeon right now

Was it a United owned pigeon or will this cost be subsidised by the bid?Moyes and Woodword have learned their lesson from the summer lads!!...He's coming

Pretty sure the pigeon is an imposter who flew in when Moyes left the toilet window open
So that's what the Sun were doing? Not 2013 but 2014? OH well it all makes sense now!
This joke is still funny. Fact.Moyes and Woodword have learned their lesson from the summer lads!!...He's coming

Given his unhappiness and reluctance to sign a new contract, combined with the massive fan backlash over lack of spending this summer..it actually seems like...yep...its ON!!!!
I'd say he's odds on to sign for us.

Do not be silly, we surely have a commercial partnership with a pigeon messaging company.
So why didn't we use our official pigeon carrier partner? Perhaps we didn't want to ward off invitations for potential marine animal transportation partner...
Too far...
He just equalized Eusebio's 41 goals for Portugal. 6 away from Pauleta, the record holder.
Curiously against Northern Ireland, the team against whom Eusebio scored his 41st (and last) goal.

He's went one better. He's deadly in the air.
He makes them look so easy.
And another. 43 now.
Hat-trick.
Bring him home Moyes!!

Hat trick. Remarkable.
That's what the Northern Irelans fans get for mocking great players. Ah well.
Is that his first hattrick for Portugal?
Yep.
To be fair, Eusebio hit 41 in 64 games.

Old goalkeepers were shit though.
mock ronaldo and he will punish you. Bale arriving is just going to send him further into beast mode."Perfect free kick"...
Won me 300 euro tonight. I don't think its knee jerk to say he is the worlds greatest footballer of all time ever and I love him.
And worlds greatest man. Do they do knighthoods for Portugeezers ?
If your location wouldn't be Ireland I would have almost mistaken you for Bale talking about Ronnie during a TV-interview.
Roy Carroll's still got it I see.
Turned inside out
Destroyed...
...and to think it has been said the quality of Ronnie's dribbling aint what it was.
It would be incredibly cliche, but I have an urge to post a GIF of O'Shea on Figo.
Of course, he still has extraordinary ability with the ball at his feet - he still has plenty more technique and skill and tricks available than not only the average player, but the average world class player.
But at United, you saw him pull off things constantly - every single week, and you don't see that anymore. I think it's partially to do with the fact he's bulked up, he's a little less agile than before. But it's also a choice, he chooses to carry the ball forward/shoot/pass - he wants to be effective with the ball rather than showing off.
Whether by choice, or his ability is less - we see it far far less often - and that is what matters.
I still love watching Ronaldo play, he is the most complete footballer I've ever seen - but if I'm honest, I miss the show kid who loved to take the piss, and not just because he no longer plays for United.
Good banter had with him tonight. He came out at the start full of himself, laughing and joking with everyone and doin fancy flicks. After a while of gettin kicked a bit, not gettin decisions goin his way, hearing Messi's name being sang and with his side struggling, it was a different Ronaldo. By the start of the second half he was miscontrolling things, giving the ball away, and on a yellow card becoming very frustrated.
As i recall Gary Neville saying before, he thrives on weakness. As soon as we got a man sent off he smelled blood. Scored straightaway and another soon after. Then we get another man sent off and down to 9 men he scores again. So deadly, took his goals so clinically.
What a player.

17 hat tricks in La Liga seems just wrong...
EDIT: Just checked, so all 3 goals the match was 10v10 right?
Though of course they just lost a man, so I see what you mean by being at a weakness..
3rd goal was when we'd 9 men
Ronaldo's 3rd goal because Portugal was already wining 2-3.
