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?
Yeah, please beat Pakistan. I already fecked over @MJJ on soccermanager. #mindgames
This is why we left.
Day 1: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka | Australia vs England
SL win the toss and bowl.
The Lankan anthem is a full blown song. Longest anthem I've ever heard.
It's raining ffs.
These graphics wouldn't look out of place in one of the many half-arsed cricket video games
Wtf are these graphics? It's like a child has designed them.
Come on Baz, make a big one today. He's started well. 
Who do you lads tip for top run scorer?
I reckon Warner will have an awesome tournament. Once he gets off to a start he cashes in and there aren't many bowling attacks who strike as a unit who can pin a batting side down. For quality of bowling this is probably the worst set of attacks in the modern era of the World Cup.
It's why I believe if England get their act together with the bat they can go far. There is a nice balance in the side and their bowling line up is compared to the rest has the combination of taking wickets and holding an end down.

Great start from the Kiwis.
Smith, Amla, Warner, Sangakarra & de Villiers are all in good touch but I think Williamson will have a great tournament and end up with most runs. He's impressed me every time I've watched him.
Yeah good shouts. Williamson is a class batsman. Future of NZ cricket looks very good with the younger guys coming through. Latham is unlucky not to make the eleven.
McCullum killing it at the moment. Lovely to see
Malinga off the pace and looks podgy.
Lovely to watch Baz when he's on top of his game.
Was hoping he would get a ton.
Shame he's out, but great start for New Zealand.
Could be a huge drop! Should've taken that catch IMO.
Williamson lucky guy.
Can't believe he's ranked 72nd in the ODI rankings. He's top 5 for me.

What a catch!
Superb catch!
Could be another wicket here...
And it is out! 2 huge wickets right before the PP.

Malinga is having a stinker.
Wow! Very difficult call but I think that's the right decision.
Malinga showing better form this over.

That celebration from Malinga on the no ball.Very good effort from the kiwis. Pretty much all the batters got starts and looked in good touch. NZ should win this, Kumar will be key if SL are to win.
Hope the Aussies smash England in the other game.
fecking time difference is so annoying. Especially since I'll be missing most the India-Pak game tomorrow

If SL don't lose wickets and keep going at 5.5/6 for next 15 overs, it will setup nicely for finish. Good game.
332 made in the first innings of the World Cup. Hopefully not a sign of things to come but it probably is.
Boult is a terrific bowler. Hasn't got much swing today but both wicket balls very high quality. Especially the Thirimanne one with lateral swing.
Broad bringing England to life too!

Superb start for NZ. Love watching them play
So pumped for India- Pak tomorrow! C'mon!
Impressive rebound by Aussies after losing 3 quick wickets. Shows their batting depth.
I thought we'd thrown the toys out but Finch and Bailey have done brilliantly.
The Kiwis have pasted the Lankans too. They're a real chance.

@Samid you can have threadmarks as 'day 1', 'day 2' maybe instead of separate match with 2 matches in a day on so many days. Except India-Pak which can have its own threadmark
This has been a good start to the WC. Is MCG full?
England have bowled some awful stuff at Maxwell. That Finn over was ridiculous.
Retarded bowling by England.
England aren't getting near 342.
That's quite possibly the worst hattrick ever!
FFS,Finn with Hatrick.
