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?

Marcelo and Carvajal are at 98-02 Roberto Carlos/Cafu level
Yeah today he is but he's a quality player. Nacho's just a bit shite.
Surprised he got the cross in, what with Nani bearing down on him at such a breakneck speed.
Everytime the camera is directed at Isco on the bench, a puppy or a kitten dies
Shite might be too harsh, he's an ok player for his role (4th CB).
The problem is that Pepe has become world class at covering for Ramos blunders, Nacho lacks either the tactical mind of Pepe or Varane's physique to help cover that much ground
1-0 HT
Real have been a bit sloppy in attack and defence
This game is theirs for the taking if they wake up

Real leading at HT.
What? Nacho's been great this season. If he's shite then i don't know what Varane is.
Varane is a potentially world class CB, Nacho is average. I think he's been passable at CB in his 20-30 odd games this season, no more.
No idea, I actually don't remember them playing more than a few games this season somehow. If I could keep one I'd keep Varane but you could be right that Nacho has been more solid, I have no clue really.
I agree. He is playing great. He is not a super star but his performances are always in 7/10.

I would have played with Pepe and Ramos. To be honest I am not a big fan of Varane, so Nacho would be my third CB but probably most of fans would disagree
Benzema with a lovey turn and hits the post
Modric goes down in the area, pen to Madrid

Benzema deserved the goal here. Unlucky to hit the post.
Ronaldo misses pen, 1-0 still
Penalty for Real. Looked soft.
Penalty. Game over...
SavedAlves is a beast with the penalties
What a shit penalty!
Poor penalty from Penaldo
Think im ahead by a minute or two, ill stop posting updates 
I hope this doesn't come back to bite us.
Loop this
Yeah Alves is a beast but that didn't look like a good penalty. Very unlike Ronaldo. I'll give the credit to the aura of Alves.
Btw this is the 3rd time Alves has saved a penalty from Ronaldo.
If you just got out of 2nd gear you would get 1 or 2 more then could rest ppl for Tues
Yeah you should talk about loops, the broken record that you are..
the play is so slow. Time for some substitution.
You're probably at the BernabeuThink im ahead by a minute or two, ill stop posting updates
Pen miss by Ronaldo
From 4 penalties faced, impressively.
He'll probably score in a minute but I fail to be impressed by Karim Benzema every time I've seen him for the last 2 seasons at least.
He's not a winger though, there are four midfielders "behind" him, he plays in the 'free role' like Rooney and others
