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?

heart = broken 
He used us to get a better deal at Madrid. I don't know how that hasn't been obvious to people from the start.
Exactly why do they think every other player hopes for when they get a chance to play in the big league ? Of course they want better wages hard work deserves good rewards. Who are we to say that they don't deserve what they get. They're also some posters on here who say they don't care about Ronaldo and take every opportunity to bash him..grow up already the haters talk about him more than anyone else.
Difference is that those guys are playing for the European champions. Ronaldo isn't world footballer of the year or league champion from last season. For the money he and Bale are earning I would be expecting them to win everything, but they won't.net = after tax ?
That's more than Ribery, Robben, Müller, Mandzukic and Kroos together.
It's a new season..anything can happen
But he's selling more shirts
. The great thing about it is that as long as Real Madrid pay massively over the top for transfers and wages, they can't use their financial power to build better teams than clubs like Bayern or United. Long may it continue.Maybe, but Real are paying all this money and still have an awful defense.
Exactly. They just don't seem to grasp that you can have attractive football and still have a good defence,But he's selling more shirts
Well I think the two goal scoring machines balances that off. Other teams may have better or similar defence but other than Barca I don't think any other team has the goal scoring capabilities Real Madrid has at the moment. Bale scoring on his debut looks very promising.
If only they had just as many players who could create the chances for all those players brilliant at finishing. They probably buy Falcao next if they struggle to score against teams with a solid defense and still don't understand why it won't help them winning the CL.
I hope they win 0 trophies this season. (Sorry Vato )
)Looks really pleased to have signed the extension ...
Wtf are those glasses anyway ?

Who needs Ronaldo when you've got the likes of Young and Valencia.
Well thats that then. Those glasses
We arent able to afford a Ronaldo or that ilk anymore. There really was no way we could have manufactured a move back for him IMO
Boasting because you called Ronaldo to United as not on?Told you guys.
All those theories about Nike/Chevrolet/Mr Potato buying us a player were hilarious.
Good shout, Nostradamus.
I have rarely seen a contract extension get so much publicity. I mean they even mentioned it in a supposedly very serious French TV news channel 
I do like his Gucci tie though....
he did still put in the famous who knows the future, You never know
I personally still like him. He was always going to leave us and yes he could have handled it better, but in not too bothered about it. But I don't have any delusions that he's got united in his heart or any bulshit like that. Ronaldo is a very individualistic player. He formed some great relationships at united ( particularly ferguson who he always looked up to) but it's more a relationship with united of having enjoyed his time and success here rather than anything more.
And I don't even think madrid's two suit each other. All of barca's are extremely intelligent players with Neymar the possible exception. Madrid have a front three of Ronaldo, bale and benzema, none of whom are extrmely intelligent footballers in the same way that barca's are. Good at finding space and being direct and a goal great but I think they have top many pure attackers and too few playmakers. Should have kept Ozil.Indeed, Messi, Neymar, Xavi and Iniesta...
This means nothing in todays game.. If he wants to come back say summer of 2015, he can make it happen..
I still do like him very much myself and even if he doesn't have united in his heart he'll always remember us as the team that help mould him to be what he is today.
What's his new release clause set to?

So much is he earning now? €350k p/w?
Well, at least we won't have the tedious "it's ON" nonsense every day.
The costs of bringing him back would have been ridiculous, and it's probably best we stick with the memories of how terrific he was first time round.

You lot are so weird...he left years ago and was clearly never going to return. I've seen such obsession with an ex-player from anybody.

Good luck to him on an individual level but I hope Barca win La Liga and Copa del Rey for the next 5 years

If my calculations are correct, Ronaldo will play on average 4,950 minutes per season. Multiply this over 5 years and you get 24,750 minutes of football. For his salary of 76 million pounds per year over 5 years, I believe that works out at 3,070 pounds per minute or 276,363 pounds per game. I think it is a good idea for the likes of Platini to try and bring in this FFP for all clubs because it will never end. Buying Bale for an obscene amount and giving Ronaldo the dream he wanted (of being the highest paid footballer in history) has clearly set an unprecedented standard where even substandard players will demand obscene amounts when the clubs cannot afford it.
Doubt he will come back. never thought he would and dont think so now either. having said all that, a contract extension means 0
Don't worry, with great predictions like this comes with a fantastic tagline to cherish with you.
