In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Can see Norway winning about 4 v 1
Cant believe that Tettey actually is our top scorer 
I'm cashing out and backing BTTS - No because Norway couldn't score in a brothel. terrible.
I would never imagine being more entertained by Norway than by United...
We're playing straight into their hands atm but I'm not so sure this team (although better than previous) has the quality. You don't have expectations watching the Norwegian NT full stop.
We dont really got any proper wingers though.. Berget and Ciljan is not really speedy wingers
What do you think about Søderlund?
Nah, meant in terms of ability to break a team down.
Ok, Morocco have just gone 2-0 up so i will be even today anyway, so i will stick with Norway and hope they improve.....please improve.
Not a fan, though it's mostly due to his terrible performance so far. He's not really strong, not really fast, not a great finisher.. Would rather see an inform Pedersen after HT.
Nyland is the one that is at Ingolstadt, right? I'd expect him to stop that shot for Hungary's goal.
To be fair, we've broken Hungary down time and time again today, we just seem to lack the composure in the deciding moments.
Yeah.
It seems we always will have a keeper who'll make Barthez look reliable. Always an accident waiting to happen for more or less any Norwegian keeper the last decade or so.
Norway dominating the game yet look blunt up front. Lucky not to be two down just before half time.
Maaan, I would've loved a Van Gaal win tonight for Norway. Obviously we're going to have to do it another way. But there's two legs, and we've shown teeth away from home before. Gagging for a full turn-around tonight, though.
That Hungary defence is there for the taking. They haven't been secure at all, but Soderlund hasn't been convincing at all in his game. Henriksen really looks out of sorts as a forward, and the head coach must drop him back to central midfield to make him effective.
Honestly, Norway would fare much better playing a 4-3-3 with Johansen and Henriksen ahead of Tettey with Berget and Skjelbred playing as false wingers. It will also benefit Soderlund some more as he'll be more effective in his hold-up play. Given how often both Berget and Skjelbred love to cut inside, both will fare much better in a 4-3-3 than a lopsided 4-4-2.
Norway have technically better players than Hungary. They have to switch to a 4-3-3 to make use of the better technique. I can see the late runs from Johansen, Berget, Skjelbred, and Henriksen causing Hungary lots of problems.

Absolutely delighted with how the game is going so far. We need to tighten up at the back though otherwise Norway will definitely score in the second half.
What a result this would be!
What a result this would be!
Agree. He's not really offering anything.
I can't believe Pedersen is our second choice today. I watched him a lot for Brann and he was pathetic in Norwegian second tier. Can Diomande sort himself out? He's our only hope. Søderlund should not play for a NT.
How does that improve the finishing? I mean they are creating chances after chances but sadly no striker to convert it to goal.
Pedersen has been great in both his spells for Godset though, not really fair to judge him on his form at Brann. I'd argue that he's alot better than Søderlund in terms of form, though I agree that it's a sad state of affair that he's our only other option. Imagine a prime Ole or Carew in this team..
Not paid much attention but haven't Pedersen been good since returning to Strømsgodset? Søderlund is way too limited.
They haven't created that many chances to be honest. Yeah, in the beginning, they put up the pressure, but since then, they've been doing the same thing without really troubling the Hungarian defence. The finishing really isn't there, but by changing their shape and approach, they can at least create more opportunities to score goals from, else this second half will become relatively easy for Hungary.
Yeah, I'm not saying what he showed for Brann was his genuine level of quality, only that it's a bit shocking to go from performing like you need to retire to being picked for the NT in the space of a few months. He's been good again for Godset, the only team he's able to perform for.
But if we keep bashing Søderlund on here, he's guaranteed to score.
The striking lack of pace in this Norway XI is insane by the way. Bar Omar, the entire team is so slow.
Also: Norwegian supporters are simply terrible 
Stupid flicks in the fecking box!!!
Bloody hell, Hovland! Got lucky there.
And bloody hell, Clattenburg. That's a stonewall penalty to Norway.
Ref!! Fecking PL refs.. And the fecking Hungary player asking for a yellow for diving
Berget Søderlund
SøderlundHe's genuinly shite though.
So let us all bash him then
, Søderland is not good enoughHopefully Søderlund off for Pedersen and Berget for Berisha/Ødegård...
Hungary is tackling like thugs, yet argue about EVERY single call by the ref and keep playacting...
Thank god, Søderlund's off.
Merry Christmas, Søderlund off
Henriksen needs to drop back more often into the hole. Why is he playing as a striker when he isn't one? He has no idea about how to play as an attacking midfielder. If any change has to be made, it has to allow Henriksen to play in central midfield rather than as a striker.
