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?
Brave firefighters! There's a big risk of the whole thing collapsing...
It’ll be a significant hit but generally risks this big are shared between multiple insurers and they’ll have reinsured parts of their risk too so it won’t be one person hammered as much as you’d think.
Braver people than I ever would be. That's for sure.
A real presidential tweet...

Makes sense.
Nice words, he's a proper statesman (PS - get planes to drop water on it).
so sexy.Ooh err where is your God now?
He's everywhere, as always.
I mean rebuilding isn't the issue either, iconic history can't be replaced. Just got to hope nothing further collapses
Yeah but why do bad things happen to good buildings?
This would be out by now if they had flying water tankers. Must act quickly
It is. Yes. You got me.
'Try raking it!'
This is like when the Primark in Belfast burnt down. Two cultural landmarks in two great cities gone.
40k more likes than Obama's. Strong!
Builders have a lot to answer for
They couldn't use those cause everything would collapse.

Giant flying tanker freezer? Freezes everything so that it puts the fire out whilst holding the structure in place.
How the feck can an ancient cathedral burn down in 2019. Fcking ridiculous
Fire don't care what year it is man!
BBC: Junior French Interior Minister saying that they are more optimistic than a few hours ago that they can save Notre Dame. Another three or four hours are needed to contain the fire.
Also reporting that one firefighter has been seriously injured.

Very easily I'm afraid. Due to the state of the church and the way it was built.
If only one serious injury is the end result here then if can be called a small miracle imho.
Very sad.
That's mental
To think of how many times that building survived war and to vanish like that, it is inexcusable. Frankly if this is just “human error”... then someone has to pay for mismanagement.

Main structure "saved and preserved"
Notre-Dame’s main structure has been “saved and preserved”, a Paris fire official has told AFP.

Unbelievable, isn’t it?
It will be rebuild and last another 800 years.
Oh that's Excellent news. Such a relief.
My eldest kid is 5. I hope he gets to walk inside it one day.
It's not like he can actually DO anything though. Words is all he can offer and all words are 'meaningless', in the sense that they won't stop the fire.
Thats great news.
Indeed.
It was the idea that somehow waffling pointlessly was 'presidential' and thus good, that I was questioning.
The main structure will be fine and the rest can be rebuilt. I've already referenced Dresden's Frauenkirche, look it up and see what can be done with time and hard work.
It's terribly sad.
