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.
I had a del piero juve shirt. Yellow trim home kit. Loved him as a player

And what's Sterling's views on this? Thought he wanted points deductions when fans are racist?
He's very quick to open his mouth when other team's fans are racist. Or when he's criticised and decides its because the media is racist.
He should be the first one condemning it when it's his own fans .
Oh sh*t,wrong thread.
I did buy an England "lionesses" t-shirt to wear at the Women's World Cup which still seems weird to me, given my normal negativity about international football {England especially ) as the natural enemy of club football and United in particular.
Agree with the bolded part. As long as it’s not an EPL team, or fecking Real Madrid it is OK. I also personally dislike Bayern, but that’s neither here nor there.
Don’t see any problem buying a beautiful shirt of BVB. They are not our rivals. We maybe play them once in 10 years.
Fixed it for you
Shamefully, when I was 8, I asked for the Liverpool kit cos it said Candy on it....and I loved sweets haha. <hangs head in shame>
I had quite a few when I was a kid. Never another English club, except for a black and gold striped Sheffield Wednesday away shirt, which was pretty smart.
I haven't owned a United shirt since the 99 home shirt with that zip collar. These days, I've got an Ajax shirt and a Japan shirt that I got for peanuts off DHGate that I use for running and going to the gym. They were cheaper than the running tops in Sports Direct.

Not bought myself a shirt of any kind over a decade and nearly bought 3 in the last 2 weeks 
Might go back for at least one! Quite like the Atlanta United shirt and the Mexico away one

I've got the Torino one with the player names making a pic of a bull I think it is. Lovely shirt, shame I'm a far bastard and put a load of weight on since.
Edit: this one

I had a soft spot for spurs as a very young kid (6) before I found my true love. Used to borrow my mates Holsten shirt Hoddle wore. I’m not proud. Was a nice shirt though tbf.
I have Barcelona's Messi's jersey. Got it for birthday. All other are United shirts. Cantona, Vidic, Van Persie and countless of no name jerseys/t-shirts.
I'd never buy an opposition team's shirt.
A half and half shirt is as far as I'd go
I used to collect them never bought another prem team though. My fascination started on a holiday in spain and all the fake kits on the markets, my first was a brazil ronaldo fakey
I do like thatI've got the Torino one with the player names making a pic of a bull I think it is. Lovely shirt, shame I'm a far bastard and put a load of weight on since.

Thank you for your courage in sharing this horrible moment from your life
When I go on holiday outside of Europe, I tend to buy a shirt of the local team for each city I visit (if I like the place)
I only own United shirts but what I’m saying is... you can be a united fan and a football fan at the same time.
This means you may end up buying a rivals shirt, but still 100% supporting your team when it’s match day.
Yeah yeah.. you're all pretty big pariahs, but let's hear about some major sinners!
Any full kit wankers out there??

I guess it depends how much you are into supporting a particular team in a particular sport.
I know people in the UK who collect stuff from NFL, NBA, MLB and MLS. They will collect multiple teams doing so.
I've had Inter, Dortmund, Celtic (Larsson 7) and Roma kits (all frpm Thailand/DHGate). My friend bought me a fake Arsenal shirt in 2004 with Vieira 4 at the back as a joke once. Gave it to my cousin.
I buy the Dortmund jerseys the odd time, (my girlfriend is from there). Bought Inter’s away jersey simply because it looks unreal. Would never buy an opposition jersey though.
Nah. You can’t be serious.
I had a Barca shirt 20 years ago after doing the stadium tour and got an LA Galaxy one when Beckham went there.
Not English teams, no, never. Nor would I wear one of another country or a European club I'd consider a rival (Bayern, Madrid, Barsa, Juventus etc)...
I do have a couple of foreign club shirts I've picked over the years: River Plate (that diagonal stripe!), Pumas UNAM (it's hard to pull off a puma on a shirt), Torino and Betis

Loved collecting them when I was younger. Of rivals only Henry at Arsenal when I was like 10 (yeah he's a rival, but feck it the guy was brilliant). Anyway of my non United kits, I had/have:
- Henry - Arsenal
- Ronaldo (9) - Inter
- Roberto Baggio - Inter
- Totti - Roma
- Ronaldinho - Barca
- Del Piero - Juventus
- Dzeko - Wolfsburg
- Bosnia national team and my hometown team Zeljo kits
Had three Liverpool shirts growing up because my dad tried converting me. I always had a good habit of making sure I had something United related on (like a cap or gloves or something) whenever I wore the shirt though. Sadly I was on Sky Sports the day Patrik Berger signed for Liverpool getting a Liverpool shirt signed by him in Anfield car park.
Had an Everton kit because I wanted my grandad to be impressed when I was 5. (was the one they wore when they beat us in the FA Cup final with Danka on it)
Had an Arsenal shirt from 98/00 at the height of our rivalry because I loved that shirt. (JVC, had blue trim).
Bought a Blackburn shirt in 02/03 so they weren't really rivals then. In part because my mum was a fan so she took me to games but also because it was tha era of skintight Kappa shirts and they were lovely (although never skin tight on me because I was too skinny).
Had various Juve/Milan/Barca/Real tops over the years too but never really considered them as rivals.
Thankfully all of these were in addition to United kits. I love football and love a nice shirt even if it's a rival's but as a kid I was spoilt rotten plus the element of trying to convert me was in there. Always stayed true to United though, I wasn't budging for anyone.
