In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Scouse cnut.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's being facetious. Can see his point though. City could easily have had three penalties.
"Banter" or not, accusing the referees of corruption is pretty fecking low. Lovely to see a panel of 2 ex Liverpool players and a former City player in the Studio too.
Thats because the ex united players have proper jobs
Careful guys, he might send his friends around to break your legs.
I've just completely stopped watching pundits on all channels, no build up, half time I go make a tea, full time I turn it off.
Refreshing.

Yep but I wouldn't mind Carragher as he's open about his bias and to be fair criticises Liverpool when due. Souness I have no problem with I think he's balanced also but Redknapp is a joke and only praises united if they have been beaten.
Started doing that a couple of years ago whenever I watched the match by myself - and I've been sticking to it ever since. Highly recommend it.
He's being facetious. Anyone that has read more than one tweet of his can see the way he tweets/responds to others.
Wasn't he the guy who got away with assaulting Nani while Ferguson was still in charge?
I know he is not being serious.

"accusing the referees of corruption" 
What else is he implying?"accusing the referees of corruption"
It's a feckin joke!
Oh come on. It's a joke. He's playing on the fact a lot of people within football felt referees were intimidated by Ferguson and hence, gave United favourable treatment. I've heard a few pundits/commentators make similar jokes. Lighten up.
Some of you boys could seriously do with lightening up sometimes
except the scousers actually believe Fergie had control of the FA and the refs.
I wouldn't take that tweet with too much gravity.
To be fair Carragher has been bearable at worst as a pundit, there are certainly ones much worse like Jamie Redknapp. Can't stand his accent, though.

I think it was a joke but it's poor from Carragher as a high profile pundit, officials are under enough pressure as it is. Oliver is usually good but he's young and today looked a bit out of his depth.
Get over yourselves. It's a harmless joke.
It's a harmless joke.Sky is incredibly biased. Today they had 3 ex Liverpool legends, a Manchester Shitty legend and Gaz discussing the match. We might as well discuss our game in a Liverpool supporters club.
Same.
Exactly. I don't see Neville baiting or criticizing refs.
Again that's implying corruption. He works in the media as an objective pundit it for Sky, he already spends half of MNF comparing things to his time at Liverpool, he needs to drop the bias.
Oliver, with a view to trying to keep the card in the pocket, did not give yellows for professional fouls. Then makes it worse by carding a mistimed tackle.
He was alright after that. Smalling pretty much lost us the match...why block Hart's kick...and that second yellow...
I'm not among those wanting him out. He was decent other than those mistakes and van Gaal will handle him correctly.

They weren't blatant pens and in the replays you could see his view was blocked on two of them. We've had loads of claims like that this season too, more often than not you don't get them.
Don't really have a problem with Carragher saying stuff like this though, it's just a joke. Makes him look a bit unprofessional in his job, but he's always been a bit daft so it's not surprising.

It's not implying corruption. It's suggesting referees felt under more pressure when officiating during Manchester United games, particularly at Old Trafford, and that if affected their performance. Either way, it's just a joke, and I've not seen it even make the tabloids yet and they love whipping up a little shit-storm.
Pundit makes joke on Twitter and opposing fans gets overly outraged about it.
Liverpool hardly struggle for decisions. He personally seemed to be very well treated by referees, esp versus Utd. The tweet is twattish.
I am outraged.

Who gives a shit, it's a joke, even pundits are allowed to make them.
If he's going to joke about something he could at least do it with a modicum of wit.
This place has become a joke since Fergie retired
This is almost as silly as when Gary Lineker said 'shit' on Twitter and newspapers tried to force the idea that he'd get punished for it.
It's just a joke mate, lighten up. It was a bad result today but don't get crazy.

Can't believe there is a thread for this
It stinks of a 'let's look for ways to be offended' thread.
They're cheeky bastards that lot in the sky studio having this delusional believe that the referees favour us. Utter rubbish and it's about time this nonsense was brought to an end.
He is not n objective pundit, but its just a joke tweet. He should probably not make the joke but whatever.
I like Carra, funny tweet and he's good on Sky with Nev. 10/10 would retweet again.
Butthurt United fans gurning for nothing.

As long as he doesn't spout his bantz while in the studio then it's not really a problem. It's a non-issue as it is though.
Perhaps not the day to trumpet that opinion when Oliver fails to give 3 increasingly nailed-on pens.
