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?

Ironic how I was about to reply on this after his clusterfeck in the first goal but the thread closed.
Congratulations for him in being in the League One team of the year multiple times. Maybe it's time for him to win this award again next season ?
He should never play for this club again, he's fecking useless and an absolute liability if we want to keep our top 4 spot.
He is arguably one of our worst transfers of all time and the fact that not only is he still at the club, he’s got the captains armband on. We are so slow at getting rid of mediocrity and Maguire isn’t our only one.
don’t start… I could eat my shoe!
Confidence without the quality to back it up becomes delusion?
Here I am vehemently dendending him and he does.. whatever that is.
It is all DDG fault for passing him the ball when the captain asked him to. He should know better not to trust him.
It's unlike Scholes to say something so stupid
This year he proved he isn't good as a backup either.
Let’s hope we never see him again in a United shirt.
We’ll all miss that woe is me walk back to the centre circle whilst brushing his fringe to the side, right?
Awful.

DDG got a bit too used to be playing with a quality defender and good footballer like Martinez. Maguire obviously messed up but DDG should know that you cant make that pass to Maguire. I agree, DDG should know better.
The best Sevilla attacker with a beautiful header last week and tonight a classy pass for a goal. Honorable mention - making that pass for counterattack which didn't end in the goal. The walking disaster with stupid hair which he constantly slips on side because it covers his eyes. And he still earns millions with no repercussions at all. Life surely is not fair!
Even if you ignore the fact that he asked for the pass and want to blame De Gea there's still no excuse for Maguire literally handing Sevilla a goal. Turn, chip to AWB, or literally just smash the ball in to the stands. Anything other than what he did. De Gea has to take some of the blame obviously but I don't think it's too much to ask the our captain and most expensive defender ever doesn't just hand them a goal in that situation.
Confidence is actually an important word here. Forget the confidence Maguire has or lacks, but what seems obvious to me is that he has a tendency to make us as a team lose it. Same with De Gea. Through their nervous panicky actions both players have a habit (with de Gea it’s a more recent thing) to create stress for the collective even where there wasn’t any to begin with or to amplify it when there was. It happened vs forest where Maguire starting of faffing about and it happened here as well.
I hope he was being sarcastic.
He should go on Piers Morgan
Can't wait till the ugly cnut fecks off, need to stop making him captain too as its embarrassing.
Every minute he plays his value decreases by 10k.
DDG should have shouted feck off you twat when Maguire asked for the ball.
Showing for a pass, my captain
Only 10k!!!
80 Million of the queen's finest.
I hope Leicester get relegated.

Almost 1 million per match. Seems about right.
He is embarrassingly bad. Even Smalling wouldn't have fecked up like that for the first goal. He would have put the ball in row Z or miles up the field.
Also him mouthing off to the press and celebrating scoring agaisnt the Orkney islands in a qualifier doesn't help his case.

Woodward watching Lineker and Shearer on Match of the day is why we ended up with this shithouse player.
No question DDG had a horrible night, but his season has otherwise been good. He chose tonight to have a stinker on a day when the whole team also had a stinker.
Maguire and Martial are a different matter. For a player that was rated so highly at Leicester and has done well for England, Maguire's displayed a real haplessness at United from quite early on. I gave up on Martial a long time ago, his moodiness goes all the way back to when LVG signed him and he's long outlived his welcome.
He's the worst signing in the history of the football club, an absolute disaster with the amount of money we paid for him
There’s some sort of weir omertà going on with Maguire, it’s like the British press is incapable of admitting just how really disastrous he’s been as a Utd player.
Even Smalling? Smalling was fine and should never have been sold so we could ''upgrade'' to Maguire. Smalling looked akward on the ball but he knew his limitations so he didnt make as many mistakes on the ball as Maguire does.
I can't help but feel bad for anyone being a laughing stock to such a wide reaching extent. I just find the situation sad at this point and can't wait for him to get his move away, so that we can be rid of the whole nightmare and he can also get out of the limelight a bit. Maybe we can make a double deal with him and Sancho to somewhere.
DDG season is barely OK. If we didn't have Martinez, Varane and Casemiro in front of him, we would get Brentford 'ed every game. He makes mistakes in every match. Just because other players cover for him, it doesn't mean we should not account them.
All things considered, kinda crazy how ten Hag kept him as captain. Very very weird. You can imagine some old veteran legend being still captain even though he is not good to start anymore (Neville for us, Totti for Roma, Navas for Sevilla), but Memeguire still being captain is pretty weird.
Completely agree and add to that the fact we paid a fecking fortune for him, it's just unbelievable that he's still the club captain. Even De Gea, despite his few mistakes, deserves that armband infinitely more than Maguire.
Would also help that he plays every game while Maguire only plays if our first choices are injured and needs a rest.
As I said before, one of the only choices EtH has made than I'm just not understanding.
No, it’s not deserved at all. Nobody should face the constant abuse and mockery that footballers have to suffer. At the end of the day he is just a bloke doing his job.
That, for me, is just saying a goalkeeper needs good defenders in front of him or he's going to let goals in. Other players don't cover for a keeper, they're there to minimise the number of times a keeper has to make a save. He's there as the last line of defence. I don't think he makes mistakes every match, other than the ones that most other keepers make in the course of a match when I watch other teams. I've passed the point where I would say we have to keep him and we shouldn't consider replacing him, but I still wouldn't put him in the same category as Maguire, who probably can't rescue his Utd career now, and especially Martial who's barely had more than one season when he's really delivered the goods, especially as he's been at the club since LVG's time.
Maguire : but you have heard of me.
Oh man, this thread is next level, still remember reactions to VDV statement of him.
