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?
Well I’ll be damned, it was Pearl clutching.
No Rashford no fun
“Leader” on the pitch, apparently.
Thought he was shite against Wales in the first half.
its coming against France 2000%
WTF , Henderson who was utter shite in the last game, no Rashford, you know scored 2 goals in the last match.
Southgate , this could be your last game and you changed a winning team

People are so eager to find things to whinge about that they just make stuff up.
None, he should be at home watching this on TV.
Think everybody was.
He also frees up Bellingham to push forward more and be more effective, stops the midfield getting overrun like against the USA and adds leadership in the middle which is badly needed with Kane as captain.
Yeah proper amateur hourI hate tweets with images that arent centered well enough that you dont see the essential infos without having to click on the tweet.
Who would you have in his place?
Rashford must be fuming. He's been England's best forward this World Cup and still finds himself on the bench
Rashford to score off the bench. Should have started though but Southgate is a wolly.
I see right through Southgate
It’s a vanity thing. He wants to make a “bold” team selection so that if they win, he’ll get all the credit
He never picks his best team for that reason alone.
And you know I’m right. Hope they lose

He points and shouts.
Does a good job of looking busy.
Foden in over Rashford? Not for me.
Lack of orthodox CMs. Gallagher is a no. Maddison is totally unknown at this stage and w this team. Phillips is backup to Rice.
They do it on purpose to make you click on the tweet.I hate tweets with images that arent centered well enough that you dont see the essential infos without having to click on the tweet.
Imagine being at knockouts and not picking your best forward
He's world class at pointing. He's also great at patting people on the head. You can't buy that experience.
I'll root for Senegal just because of that tweet then! Well I was rooting for them anyway because I'm really not looking forward to facing England.
credit to Southgate, Mount avoids responsibility, no point using a ten like that
It’s amazing, I thought that team was a certainty with the exception of who’d be wide, which was going to be two of four who all have their pros and cons.
The hate boner and determination to attack every decision, regardless of how sensible it is, baffles me. Must be awful for the old blood pressure.
Everyone saying Mount should be dropped only to get their wish... and then seeing he's been replaced by Henderson
Southgate is a moron. Hope they lose now.
I prefure Philips but he is injured, so if being honest, there is not much choice.
Asking a genuine question here.
How many games would Kane have to go without scoring before Southgate would drop him?
Honest answer please because I think it would be more than 10 easy.

Ridiculous that Rashford isn’t starting
tbf the leak was only talking about for the forwards, so no reason to think any of the midfield had changed
He was dropped for Henderson in England's last game, which England won comfortably.Everyone saying Mount should be dropped only to get their wish... and then seeing he's been replaced by Henderson
Happy with that team. Ironically, Rashford has been better on the right for England, and so I guess it was a toss up of him and Saka. Foden, on the other hand, is better on the left.
With this being a game that could potentially go into extra time, having the pace and ball carrying abilities of Rashford, Sterling and Grealish, is certainly something that could work in our favour.

I'm sure he will throw rashford on at some point, but lets hope it wont be from a "too little too late" position.
Seems to be a better balance with Henderson as the 8.
sterling out of the team due to personal issues.
Hence why foden is probably starting. Giving far too much credit to that below average manager.
You mean for a penalty in the 119th minute.
Predicted the Rashford drop after last game. Also expected Foden to be dropped along with him, but seems Southgate still has some grey matter in there.
Just goes to show how many good options England have.Rashford on the bench
He doesn't deserve to be dropped. He's playing more as a false 9 than a striker. He's been our most creative player.
