In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
They will if Liam Plunkett gets his way
Root unlucky. He’s a generational talent along with Stokes. England should be doing better
Steve Smith averaged 30 with the bat and England should have lost 5-0!
This could end tonight
Has there been an Ashes series where two of the tests were decided inside 3 days?
Where have Australia been hiding Boland all this time?
Gone from looking like a possible run chase to potentially being over today
They're ruining Test Cricket.
How do they expect youngsters to get enthusiastic about cricket when their introduction is this shit?

Boland is going to end with the most wickets in the series.
Could even be over tonight at this rate with 6 down already - 6 wickets for 59 runs.
Just seen that Malan’s wife suddenly gave birth to his first child six week premature last night, which would go a long way to explaining why he seemed so out of sorts. Hopefully they found a way to get him straight to the mainland to get on a flight home ASAP
Make that 7
The bowlers give hope.
And the batsmen take it away.

Gotta feel for England's bowlers, who have on the whole performed as well as any previous side in an Ashes tour I can remember. Still, pleased for Wood to get several wickets on the board as he often looks dangerous but comes away with a ropey looking average.
Our batting lineup can't make a decent score on a good wicket, so when conditions are tough there's no chance.

60 odd for first wicket. 60 odd for next 9. Lovely.
Great catch by Carey
Now it is just when England lose.
Yeah. I don’t think Australia had a stupendous batting effort. One off guy shines each match. But England just collapsed in batting each time.
1 to go after terrible drag on by Wood.
England in this test: 78-2 & 68-0
Australia in this test:12-3 & 63-6
Result: England lose by 100+ runs

.8 for 55
Yep. I fully agree with Broad's comments. The bowlers do as much as they can, but the batting collapses every single innings.
Over
Here’s one. Mitch Starc has more runs in this series than Hameed, Buttler, Burns and Pope. Hah
Horrible batting collapse
An embarrassing result for Australia to only win 4 against this shower
Wood the highlight for England
You called it, to get bowled out after 38 overs in test cricket is criminally unprofessional.
Tbf missed out by a wicket.
There’s a lot to take in looking through the stats.
Mark Wood has more runs than Hameed and Burns
After maccas is it probably the most popular fast food joint.
Would have easily if it wasn't for bad weather
Bowlers deserve some criticism in this test as well to be fair. They had the best conditions on Day 1 and let Australia get 300 from 12-3 which was way over par. Even today to go from 63-6 to 155 is disappointing.
Shambolic from England. Struggling to think of any positives. Even Roots form went by the last two tests. Rain saved them from a 5-0. Just pathetic.
Obviously not ideal asking them to shoot out teams for 150 twice in a test is a piss take.
All 10 wickets for 56 runs. That's England's worst 10-wicket collapse against Australia since 1948.
Thank feck this is over.
God knows how low this lot will sink once Broad and Anderson move on.

England are a joke.
Haven’t won a test in Aus since 2010 I think

Funnily enough i think this 4-0 loss is worse for England, than a 5-0.
Losing 5-0 forces the ECB to do something out of embarrassment. They'll just continue down the same path as it was only a 4-0 loss
