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.
Agreed mate
Absolutely but he's not been very good for Norway either. Yet to step up and be the leader in attack.
Great goal from Ozan Tucan... 3:0
It's difficult to be a leader as a striker IMO, nevermind the fact he's 20.
Food for thought to those who think getting Haaland suddenly makes United champions.
Soyuncu is quality I think.
Haaland had a goal chalked off a few minutes ago. I didn't get to see the replays but either he or a teammate was offside apparently.
Shouldn't have been a corner for Turkey's 2nd, but poor defending to allow it nevertheless. Norway being wasteful in attack doesn't help much. Turkey is allowed to slow down the game, and the ref only brought the Norwegian yellow card. This battle is over.
Are Turkey really this good? They pretty much matched France in the Euro qualifying group as well.
Like the look of turkey so far...always had a soft spot for them after Hakan Sas’s exploits in the WC back in the day.
VDB can't even get a game for Holland either eh?
He came on and looked pretty lively.
Can’t say I watch them much (or at all), but looking at their results, I expect them to top group A in the Euros over Wales, Switzerland and even Italy.
Scuffed a decent chance wide.
Worst game by Norway in some time. Our brand new manager decides to rotate a bunch of the squad and give players their debuts in one of the hardest games of the group stage.
Re: Haaland. He's amazingly good but he's never going to get anything done unless he receives ballls to run at. He's gotten one or two all game. We've simply managed to play him ordinary.
All in all, shocking game.

Nearly got an assist as well. The whole of the Dutch side were wasteful tonight.
Their team isn’t that poor at all. They have Odegaard who is hyped to be one of the best talents about. They have a number of players that are a decent Premier League standard and then the rest of their team is decent enough. They look to be underperforming to me. They really should be qualifying for the Euros at least.
They are a decent collective, but they're average at best. We were fecking shocking against them on Wednesday amd even then, literally everything they touched went in. So the result is a bit flattering to them. I realize this sounds like me being a bad loser, mind.
Italy and Switzerland are much better and Wales is atleast as good.
We should, but we wont, our national team is cursed.
Turkey seem to be a really good team.
Not sure about Italy or the Swiss so I’ll take your word for that but they can’t be level with Wales. I do watch Wales and they play absolutely tumescent football. The two star men, Bale and Ramsey, turn up for Wales but have been declining for a while and the supporting cast, Dan James and Kieffer Moore are nothing more than average players. The defence is Championship level, unlike Turkey’s, whose best defenders (Soyuncu and Kabak) start for CL level clubs.
Anyone knows when ticketing info be available for the Euro games?
desperately want to go to a game in St. Petersburg this June, and need the fan ID for it , but on UEFA portal it says more info coming April 2021 and so far no ticket is available for immediate sale.
Surely very soon they must figure it out, next week is April ffs!

Agreed. We were lucky to concede only 2.
Fair enough, I honestly don't know much about wales and still judge them by that 2014 semi final. Still Turkey is spectacularly average. Beating us doesnt make a team good, we're really bad at the moment.
They are now coached by the same guy who took them to the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup. With arguably a better team, he should be able to do well in Euro 2020 and possibly exceed expectations.

Jota scored for Portugal. 0-1.
Bernardo Silva put a great ball into the far past after Cristiano Ronaldo drew 3 men all towards himself. Surprisingly, no one really put a foot in, and Bernardo Silva was also in lots of space. Milenkovic was ball-watching the whole time and was completely unaware of Diogo Jota behind him. Honestly, I was surprised by that as he tends defend the far post quite well, but he also has issues with ball-watching.
Funny watching Bruno play conservatively like that.
I am elated that my boy Berghuis finally scored for Oranje. And in his signature low budget Arjen Robben way no less.
Malta winning 2-0 in Slovakia 
I am having a major Mandela effect moment right now. Fatih Terim didn't coach Turkey in 2002??
This may belong in the weird feelings of football thread, but Im quite sure Terim has always been the coach of both the Turkish national team and Galatasaray.
I don't think that's surprising though. When you're out of favour at club level you rarely getting picked for your country.
Portugal 2, Jota brace.
Unless you're Alexis Sanchez.
He's a legend though
Turkey are one of those nations that always seem to peak every 4-5 years and then go into the wilderness for a bit.
Got to World cup 2002 and finished 3rd....and then didn't even make euro 2004 due to Lativa knocking then out in the play offs! Then got to SFs of euro 2008 losing narrowly to Germany but made very few tournaments since.
Some decent players in that team with Soyuncu, Demiral, Yokuslu and Calhanoglu and Burak Yilmaz gone to Lille at age of 34 and scoring decent amount. Good chance for them to top group with start they've made.
Forgot they were in the euros, going to be a very tough group for Wales as most would see Turkey as the easiest game of the three but they can't be underestimated.
Czechs score against Belgium. 1-0.
Mitrovic got a mad scoring record at interntional level, makes second half interesting in Belgrade.
1-2 Portugal.
1-2 Portugal.
