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.
3-1 Leipzig!
Why did they fire rose anyway? I know they had some bad days at home but they didn’t massively underperform in terms of expectation. Something else happen there ?
If Dortmund miss this chance, they should just stop playing football.
Wow. Can Dortmund hold their nerve
They were also still in the cup
Well Done Tuchel
The Cult of Tuchel facing some awkward moments.
Feels like Rose’s biggest problem was the fact that Terzic was still at the club.
Nice if Bayern have got it all wrong for a change.
To be fair, he's come in and basically been fecked from the start. The Nagelsmann firing was just not what the entirety of the squad wanted and the press laid siege on Bayern from that moment on. FC Hollywood back at it again.
Coman holding his face in disbelief because his streak of winning every league season he's ever played across Germany, Italy, and France might be over.
Who do Dortmund and Bayern play on the last day?
How spoiled are Bayern's fans that are leaving the stadium early. Won the league what, 10 times in a row? First time they might actually not win and parts of the crowd turn their backs. 
Dortmund haven't won any of their last 7 away games across competitions. They're definitely bottling it tomorrow, aren't they.
Bayern play Köln away and Dortmund play Mainz at home.
I'd say that is pretty typical of a lot of football fans. Did they agree with the sacking?How spoiled are Bayern's fans that are leaving the stadium early. Won the league what, 10 times in a row? First time they might actually not win and parts of the crowd turn their backs.
Thanks.
Imagine they're gonna get a tie and lose the league on goal difference.
Last time Dortmund had a chance to go top they got utterly fevked by the referees in that Bochum game… Let’s hope tomorrow’s game has a more competent referring team…
Dortmund right now :
Bayern seem to have completely lost the plot, don't remember a Bayern team being this weak mentally.
Bad cup performances, looked weak in big games, no real plan for improvements from Rose apparently and Terzic lurking in the shadows. Some internal difficulties as well IIRC. So more of a combination of factors. Definitely a controversial decision both at the time and for months after the fact though.
Can Dortmund unbottle the league? Ironic that they might win after so many of their recent big names have gone.
Good send-off for Jude though
Good send-off for Jude though
The cup competitions were horrendous (losing to St. Pauli in the DFB Pokal, going out to Sporting and Ajax in the CL, losing to Rangers in the EL - and not even in particularly unlucky fashion) and while finishing second place was obviously a good result there were a few unacceptable results in the league as well, such as losing 2:5 / 1:4 against Leverkusen/Leipzig at home and the way the team lost the "small" derby against Bochum at home towards the end of the season.
On the other hand there were plenty of issues with the squad that were the management's responsibility, so you couldn't really call his work great, but you couldn't call it terrible either. I personally firmly expected him to continues past the summer, but then the club had their season review (Watzke, Sammer, Kehl, Zorc and Rose) and over some critical questions they apparently found out that they didn't have a basis to continue their cooperation.
Also, fun fact:
They literally sacked him a year ago to the very day:

“Well-run club”
Isn't Laimer moving to Bayern? oof that's gonna be awkward f 1 of his goals made them lose the league
As competitive sportsmen they will respect him all the more for it.
Watch Dortmund labour to a miserable 1-1 tomorrow.
I agree with the other poster that they'll probably respect him for it.
Imagine being Brazilian CB Dante after that WC semi final at home in Brazil in 2014 when he had to return to his German club. Don't remember if Luiz Gustavo was also still playing in Germany at that point.
So while the entire Bundesliga hates Leipzig, they may have just freed the Bundesliga from the chokehold it was in. 
Well first of all Dortmund have to do their homework and even then we can still all hope that Köln get something against Bayern as well now and strike Leipzig from that chapter of history.So while the entire Bundesliga hates Leipzig, they may have just freed the Bundesliga from the chokehold it was in.
Well at least we are the Champions of giving away penalties.
Something is wrong in this team and I dont know what it is.

100% Dortmund won't win tomorrow?
Oh, wie ist das schön!
Folks now preparing Borsigplatz for the celebrations, going to be a wild couple of days, oh dear!
Now grab that title, Marco Reus!
Never been more deserved.

The past isn't necessarily a good predictor for the future, but there's still some pessimistic stats:
a) Augsburg has always been a difficult opponent for Dortmund in recent years:
b) Dortmund's away form has actually been pretty weak lately.

If you guys again bottle that big chance than Dortmund will be the next Neverkusen.The past isn't necessarily a good predictor for the future, but there's still some pessimistic stats:

Bayern handed you the title on a silver plate.
Disastrous second half. Having a corner and then running into a 1 to 4 counter. That's amateur football.
Augsburg - Dortmund 1:0
Köln - Bayern 2:1
Dortmund - Mainz 0:0
Bayern wins the title on goal difference...
If that happens then yeah, might as well shut down the league.

Guys, look at the footy they played this month and then contemplate what you want to say. How can Augsburg or Mainz get a result when they need to score at least as many goals as Donyell, which will be two per game (and that's not accounting for the rest of the crew)? Spoiler, they can't. No amount of jinx is going to change that.
People like to talk about bottling, but would you say that Dortmund are a (European) top team in terms of quality? I think they are making the most out of what they have, but even in doing so there's still quite a bit room for mistakes and dependance on other VARiables.
Even better:
Your ex-coach Rose might've just helped you become champions (if you get those 2 wins out of 2
) and he might also send your Revierderby rivals into 2. Bundesliga next week on top of that.
