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?
Then Pep said unto his lord: "Go build a statue (of me), send it to Silva (as a farewell gift)"
which the Oil Juggernaut misunderstood as "Go build a statue, and it to Silva"

Good for them,I couldn’t give a toss who they have a statue of tbf. He’s undoubtedly made the difference in giving them a bit of success. So let them get on with it.
Hopefully it’s done by the same bloke who did that first one of Ronaldo.

That's what I thought as well. Touré doesn't quite make the cut, but I think that at least Silva and Agüero should be on par, and while Kompany wasn't quite as influential on the pitch, he was their captain and one of the few successful players that were bought before the sheikhs came in.
Still, making a statue of a player that hadn't even retired yet?
There should be more statues.
Most football fans love a bit of nostalgia, sure the holy trinity statue should take pride of place but imagine a whole load of statues outside OT. Robson in action, Cantona popping his collar, Rooney overhead kick, Scholes flashing his junk. Dont tell me you wouldn't like to see those every game.
Also they are a great way to help people meet up; "let's meet at 2:30 by William Prunier".

A bit ridiculous to be honest.. You build statues of players long after they have retired, when the impact they had can be seen on a historical perspective.
Then again, they're such a plastic club that I'm surprised that they haven't copied from American sports and introduced a City Hall of Fame or Ring of Honour or something of the sort.

I don't know but do your lot have any statues outside Stamford Bridge? One for the big man JT?
Just one of Peter Osgood at the main entrance. I'd love more.
You should have one of Paulo Ferreira.
Terry and Bridge?
A statue of Drogba, Lampard, Terry and probably Cech , outside the bridge will actually be great. The Silva one is cringeworthy though, since:
1. He has not retired
2. He wasn't really that magical
3. He didnt win the European cup, and there was really no season where he was “absolute” best.
There'll be a statue of all three - Silva, Kun and Kompany.
Meh, it's alright. Birmingham retiring Belligham's number changed my perspective on stuff like that.
The whole statue nonsense is probably to deflect attention away from the fact they were caught cheating and then some how wormed their way out of it.
Did David Silva really have a bigger career at City than Yaya Toure or Kompany?
Maybe a statue of Yaya holding his birthday cake with a big cheesy grin would have been more apt.

Nah, they just gonna rename one of the stands "The Yaya Toure Cake Stand"
Still think Yaya Toure is their best midfielder ever and top 5 in the prem
Either cakes or African Shaman.
After Neymars jersey at the WC and Bellingham's number nothing surprises me. The worlds gone mad
Proper small time. It is hilarious.I'm not bitter I just find it small time and humorous, typical little City
Not Silvas fault, but the club are so desperate for credibility.
He signed for Sociedad
