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?
Rangers v Dortmund is tasty.
A really nice field this year and the group winners aren't even included yet.
The token Maradona tie for TV: Barca v Napoli. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!
Some tasty ties in there. Too bad Napoli will likely be missing their african players i think? Which are kind of like their 3 best players too...
Yep, the Europa League should be interesting. Some teams relegated to it that really should see it as an opportunity to save their season, as well as the usual strong contenders for this title.
I really have no idea who will win this.
apparently Napoli have just rung asked if we want to swap ...

It's hard to believe in the times where Scottish clubs have been relegated to "bye"-status internationally, but Ranges actually have a good record against Dortmund.
Didn’t West Ham qualify? I didn’t see them in the draw
Group winners are through to the last 16. This is for the knockout round which is 3rd place CL clubs versus Europa league runners up. The winners of these ties go into the pot to play the group winners who will all be seeded for the last 16.
Conference league is the same. Winners skip this knockout phase hence Jose being delighted that Roma won their group whilst the runners up play the 3rd place Europa teams such as Leicester.
Thanks! Had no idea about this. Is this a change from this season?
New this season. There were 12 groups instead of 8 in previous years for the group phase so the last 32 saw the group winners plus the 4 CL teams with the best 3rd place record seeded and the 12 runners up and the other 4 third place CL clubs unseeded. The addition of the Conference league has essentially allowed more teams to play in Europe whilst reducing the number of teams in the Europa League itself and so the bye for the first knockout round is an additional incentive to win the group even if you know you are already qualified.
Well obviously, we're much better than Leicester and Roma.
Seriously though, we probably have the weakest squad of that entire top 10.

Still trippy seeing three PL rejects leading that Barca front line
Hopefully we get to see Amad at one point tonight against a decent Dortmund side.
Dortmund Rangers or Barça Napoli?
Barca Napoli.
This commentator on my stream is really condescending towards Barcelona. "Eric Garcia, left City to play in games like this I guess".
Napoli 1
Ferren Torres misses a very good chance, Napoli score a minute later.
Torres chance / Zielinski 0:1
Anguissa is ragdolling Barcelona's midfield. De Jong, Pedri and Nico don't know what's hit them.
Rangers 1-0, penalty.
Edit, 2-0, Morelos!

Rangers have been outstanding here
Dortmund without Haaland wouldn't make the top 10 in the Premier League.
More proof the Bundesliga is trash.
Fabian Ruiz is really showing up the barcelona midfielders here
We are generating chances but Napoli are solid.
Dortmund have been hilariously bad, it's not even jammy by Rangers, they have been the better team. Really a lot of questionmarks regarding Rose so far this season.
Crowd getting on Torres's back it seems. Adama Traore seems to get stuck when he should just attack the fullback, he stops and passes back more than he should IMO.
Rangers are performing a lot better away to Dortmund than they did against Celtic. It seems their manager has let the shackles off as his tactics against Celtic were very defensive.
If Rashford thinks he has it bad at OT, he should visit Camp Nou or the Bernabeu on any given day.
Dortmund we’re doing ok for the first 25 mins or so but then Rangers have come into the game. Really poor goals to concede.
Taken a bit of time to strike the balance in the defensive line, press and midfield make-up, but looks spot on now.
Rangers have been quality in Europe recently.
He's so stupid. There was a barca counter and he got the ball on the wing. Aubameyang was running through the middle trying to make himself onside and he does a step over, turns and passes back
