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?

I did smile at work when I first glanced at the scoreboard.You particularly must have loved that
Ffs. I turned it off in stoppage and it was 3-0.
Flawless first half, I thought it's going to be a 4-0 massacre.
Guess that goal difference is going to be decisive in this group.

Other managers go on holiday, sit by the pool, read a book and make the odd phone call related to transfers. They don't all work full-time hours 52 weeks a year.
Just because Jose is using his holiday to discuss the World Cup, it doesn't mean he isn't in touch with the club or doing what he would otherwise be doing on a break.
How much football does he watch? He knows so much more about football than any other person I've seen analyze a match on TV.
In 2004 he was a huge success analyzing Portugal vs Spain after he won the Champions League with Porto, but that was during the 90 minutes, don't know if he is only doing pre match or post match analysis for RT tbh.
Clive Tyldesley: "Russia NT coach's moustache has been a talking point here. A popular TV host here, who looks like like Borat, has called on Russians to grow taches in support of the coach & the team. Josef Stalin had a proper tache."

I understand the nepotism aspect, buy why would someone do that? Getting spanked on the international stage by sending a weaker team surely must make them send a good team..
I meant as the first game of the WC.
Good first game, Russia looked good, yeah SA didn't offer much threat but the speed of Russian attack was very good.
Their backline must be among the oldest in the world cup. 32 year old keeper, 34 year old LB and 38 year old CB.

Will Golovin's price tag increase after this? He played well.
Poor opposition and proves nothing, but the joys of football mean an extra 10mil or so on his price tag now surely

I meant that they put the only match of the day on at a time where hard working football fans don’t even have time to cool their beer before kickoff
