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?
The scouse accent has always been an accent I disliked alot, can understand it alright though, have heard worse than Carraghers.
Bet him and Nev are having a field day with Taylor atm.

Getting a bit worked up. Only dogs could hear him by the end, there.
I held Carragher in high regard until reading an article of his in one of the weekend papers, in which he spouted the usual ABU nonsense we've become accustomed to.
He basically said United will suffer without Fergie, not because he was a fantastic manager, but because we will miss his influence on referees. He used as an example the Liverpool v United match last year, before which Fergie apparently complained United don't get penalties at Anfield. According to Jamie, the ref proceeded to award a very soft penalty in order to placate Sir Alex. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that a blatant foul on Valencia as he surged into the penalty area?
To be fair, he's been reasonably competent and not unduly biased on Sky so far though.

Taken extreme measures tonight.
It's really not hard to understand him if you're an English speaker or have ears
He's a bit keen to emphasise something without actually saying anything.
He'll calm down in a few weeks but you can tell Neville has been doing it for a bit. Comes across much more composed and insightful.

Did he just say "fecking hell"? As well as crap? 
He's all over the place.
sherrrrrrrt ccccchhhhraappchch
seriously? i heard the crap lolDid he just say "fecking hell"? As well as crap?
He is so naturally loud that he is trying to keep his voice down and ends up whispering. I felt he was going to swear too. Needs to just think a bit more.
He's clearly quite nervous, but so was neville the first time. He'll tone it down when he becomes more familiar with it.
I'm sure he said fecking hell under his breath.
Only saw the pre-game stuff but didn't mind him at all.
The 10 minutes of Arsenal slagging off was amusing, mostly because nearly everything he said was correct.
I hope they stick with him. He's not afraid to say what he thinks instead of what he thinks people want to hear. There's only really him and Neville who do that.
Anyone who can't understand him must have inherited Carlos Tevez's ears. It's really not that hard.

Do you remember Neville introducing himself to Mancini last year?He's all over the place.
Awkward is an understatement
I thought Neville was trying to balance it by coming across as more statesman-like, Carra went a bit doo-lally lah.
He's shit at football analysis, and he has a shit accent. He's not contributing much other than the most obvious junk; and it seems like the producers are purposefully giving him extra talking time for whatever reason when he's not even saying anything of note, and then asking Gary to chime in with some actual football discussion now again.
Terrible.
Terrible.
Haha, class...well done Nev, episode one and you've already basically just called him a thieving scouser...
Ah, beaten to it, by a matter of seconds...
First post in months as well!

Good man, Gaz RAWK will love that one.
RAWK will love that one.Bit harsh
The laugh of the guy filming it
But true.
The burglar convo is set up
Why does Carragher sound like he's about to start crying when he is in mid sentence?
What did carragher say before nev called him a burglar?
That accent fecking hell it makes my ears bleed. Call my biased, had to mute the feck.
On RVP
Nev: He's like a burglar in your house, you dont know where he is
Carra: You'd be under the bed
Nev: Youd be the burglar
You would be under the bed, I think.
TBH, that would put him between screen and keyboard, hands behind back, like Jerry Lee Lewis.
I can see why that vision would amuse you.
In fact, I'm impressed too.
How does Nev know you Rel?
I used to play haxball with him
He does know his stuff and I like the banter with Gaz Nev. But he is coming across a bit unintelligible! That accent isn't easy on the ears.
Fecking accent nazis!
