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.
Can't really legislate for it. Its different when you've made a bad call but it was totally the logical thing to do. Hadn't the form or the fixture. Still infuriating though
51 points with Soucek, Robertson & Salah to play. After seen how's this week developed, can't complain too much.
I need Salah to haul, Son to blank and Dier to keep a clean sheet.
Yep. Exactly like you say.
The peril of the 8 player front 8 though. Have ha da chimpy level 8th man for a lot of the season, but that KDB and Kane injury combo unlocked insane funds.

Salah doesn't look getting anything.
Why did I not captain Bamford!
Looking like it's going to be the worst week in a long time for me - 17 points(!!) with Salah, Son and Antonio still to play. My bench has more fecking points than my starting eleven.
Some highlights:
- Didn't think about my bench order so have Wilson's 13 points in the last bench spot not coming on
- Stones, Cancelo and Chilwell all blanking
- The decision to be hipster and go with Ayling instead of Dallas continues to haunt me each week
Need my vice captain Salah to score a hattrick in the second half not to plummet in the rankings I reckon.

I have Salah. but don't want him to score today.
Hope West Ham can win without it coming from Antonio or Soucek, but if that's what it takes, I'll prefer that!

He was out of form against a decent Leicester defense.
So many people have Salah even though he was crap for the past 5-6 fixtures. Went down around 10k places with that goal.
Salah brace.
Sorry to sound smug but I captained him. People got rid of him when Liverpool had that barren spell but if you look at the underlying numbers, they were just unlucky not to score and it was never gonna last.
With that said, what the actual feck was Creswell that eedjat doing? Schoolboy defending that was.
Salah pretty much making my GW, from a disaster to being okay.
89 points, with Son left to play. 9 players all out.
Would be over 100 points if it’s wasn’t for baldy benching Stones and Cancelo

The only nice thing is being rewarded when you are patient.
West Ham have looked shite here. Was hoping for something from Soucek and Antonio.
Bloody nightmare not having Salah in this game. It was all going so well.
Salah captain will get me very decent numbers this week. Huzzah
Time to get Salah back i guess....bye bye Rashford
Wow!89 points, with Son left to play. 9 players all out.

In this week that's an incredible haul.
What's your overall points so far?
Taking a -4 to get Salah (and DCL) in, just about rescuing a poor haul.
Will be on about 50 after this, with Son and Dier to come.

1270 total points, with Son left to play.
I had 2/3 below average weeks in a row recently that screwed me.
Salah captain worked well, but sadly Liverpool won.
This day has been pretty ideal so far for my rank though. I think if Son blanks it will be a clear green even though I am in the top 10k with many strong teams around me.
Even with 10 men and Soucek in from the bench with 1.

Jinx worked.
He's the player I'm always most anxious not to have.
He scored 2against us in the cup and was unlucky not to score v Tottenham, so with Kane being out it was definitely time to get him back in.
Will he rested v Brighton midweek though, with City at the weekend. That's the risk.
We've very similar points then, as I started the day on 1267, and like you had Salah.
I suppose it depends who else you've had today to add to the overnight 1270. Bamford I presume if you're looking at such a haul.
What do we think about Salah being rested in midweek?
Thought Klopp screwed my main rival out of getting 13 point Pereira
But no Jose benches Dier so he could well get him. Grrr.

Just clocked the Dier news. Bloody hell. The one week it was ok for Stones to be dropped!
In fairness, Tottenham have only kept 1 clean sheet in about 7 games, but I still wanted his 2pointer instead of Coufal's 1.
Having no benefit to having a lot to spend is now an issue.
41 points (including hits) with Son to play. Only managed to field 10 players with Stones and Cancelo benched and KWP injured.
Wonder what the GW average will be.

Thank god for Salah (c), saved my week.... The prick
Man. My mini league leader has Dier. He’s already had Wilson and Bellerin off the bench this week, now he’s about to get Dallas too. Unreal.
Almost 2/3 of my points come from 2 players. 10 men and also having Soucek from the bench with 1.
Such a strange week for sure.

fecking sold Salah, the cnut. Better buy him again
Was 20 start of day.
Salah's a tw@t. Most teams above me were 20-ish, poor performance and I had 51 ... thought I'd narrow the gap a bit.
Then he does that and most have captained him.
Has to be a risk.
Depends on Mane probably. If he's still injured, they won't then rest Salah as well.
The benefit is that you can cover
Salah, Bruno, Son, Grealish, Gundogan, have 4 strong players in defence and 3 good strikers.
Enjoy this rare moment, of not having anyone who feels a threat not having them!
