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?
was fun while it lasted 
It always does when it's Madrid against Espanyol.
Madrid unleashed. 2-0 Ronaldo
And I thought my 2-0 and 3-0 FT bets would be good ones
Your big bro beat us so we will beat you.
3-0 James
Team is in full swing

I thing that might be game over.
I don't think Espanyol have got any forwards available so if they've got any sense they'll just camp out in their own penalty box and write this one off before it gets silly.

The speed of Real's play in the attacking 3rd compared to watching us is ridiculous.
More to the point, they are only 5 pts from relegation zone. It's possible although it's hard to believe considering the quality in the squad but it's been a competitive season in the Primera. Even relegation zone teams can threaten the top teams
That's true of most teams compared to us to be honest.
Its ridiculous in it's own right. It's weird how the ball is constantly moving with such pace, but most of the team seem to be in first gear, barely even jogging.
Pace on the ball is so much more important than pace in the legs. We have neither.
What a goal Ronaldo 
Absolutely class goal by Ronaldo.
Penaldoooooo! Only scores penalties and tap ins.
Surely one of his best in RM colours, I remember some similar footwork v Galatasaray not too long ago and some great cutting inside goals in 09/10, but this one was different class in terms of control and speed of execution.
Yep, that's one of his best goals for us imo. At least in recent memory. He's scored some great goals in his first and second season.
Marcelo is one of my favourite players in world football. He's so entertaining, best attacking full back in the world for me.
Varane with a tribute to his coach with that move.
Jese has been shit since coming back from his injury. Had such high hopes for the guy.
It's disappointing. Some players seem to come back with something to prove, more dedicated than ever. He just looks continuously unfit.
Madrid have conceded a good few chances in this game. It is worrying, a better team would take them.
Ronnie gets his hat trick.
One word, technique. Whenever our players pass to each other with pace on the ball, they lose it because of a shite first touch.
What is the record for most hat-tricks at one club? Surely aronaldo is close to the record.
The silence from the commentators confused me, thought it'd gone wide or something
His movement in the box is special. Really special.

He's played well since this post!
Was just going to post this.What a shite league La Liga is. Boring as feck. The smaller teams seem just woeful. 6-0 seems to norm for Madrid at home.
What a shite post this is. Boring as feck.
Most premier league games are tight affairs with lots of sideways passing until something happens every 20 minutes. Sometimes it's nice to watch Real Madrid and Barcelona to see just how entertaining one team can be. Watching Ronaldo, Bale, James, Benzema, Isco, Marcelo, Messi, Neymar and Suarez never gets boring.
Madrid and Barcelona have been hammering teams in the CL for the last 5 or so seasons too, both in the group stage and in the knockouts. There are a lot of results I can bring up to back this up. Madrid and Barcelona are just very strong teams. The games in the PL are tighter, but that is due to there being no teams that have been particularly great over the last few seasons. This is also backed up by how their teams struggle in the CL, mainly in the groups, but also in the knockouts (the few teams that actually make it there, that is).
It is boring when they are just walking through that pathetic defence. But I am talking about how competetive the league is. 4-0 at half time is a joke.
I agree. Although the Premier League was much better when the top teams were dominating Europe than La Liga is now.
The PL certainly was very strong during that period when the teams went far in the CL every year, but "much better" than La Liga now? Is there anything factual to actually back that up? If anything, La Liga has a stronger claim due to their teams in the Europa League doing better than their PL counterparts at the time. I am looking forward to the "PL teams not taking it seriously claim", but surely if they were so strong, then the Uefa Cup/Europa League would be a breeze for them. La Liga has been top of Uefa's coefficient rankings for the best part of the last 15 years for good reason.
Do you think that Norwich,Sunderland or Bournemouth would put up a good fight in Bernabeu?
What an imbecile. If you had the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern or Barca in this league they would be tearing the place up left right and centre.. and that is just against Manchester United, let alone Bournemouth, Watford. Our top sides are poor as feck compared to these genuine giants of modern football.
Brilliant goal by Ronaldo, vintage performance.. good to see!!
I'm talking about the entertainment value of the league. Real Madrid and Barcelona are great to watch in Europe as there is some actual tempo and atmosphere. Most league games the away team doesn't bother, there is no atmosphere and it's boring. Reminds me of Man Utd in the early 2000's.
At one point the Premier League had clubs like Boro and Fulham in the final of the Europa league. 3 out of 4 teams in the semi finals 3 years in a row. There was 4 teams brilliant in Europe which is more entertaining than 2/3.
The attitude of the away teams pisses me off. The way there is no away fans and such a lackluster attitude from the away team at the off.
Manchester United's team of 2008 was better than the current Real Madrid team yet we didn't win 5-0 every week did we? We didn't have the same challenger every year and a guarenteed spot in the semi-final of the cup.
