In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
PSG ? no way.
Valencia, Bilbao and Villarreal are having a crap season. They should be in the Champions League zone, not in the relegation zone.
Bilbao has a 8-12th spots squad. But certainly watching them flirting with relegation is shocking. Who knows? Perhaps Bilbao shall become the La Liga answer to Hamburg
Ohhhh Bilbao steal the 3 points in last minute....actually surprised they didn't go back to VAR as replays showed very little contact and pretty much a dive by Munain.
You know what? I don't care. They deserved to at least get one goal.
Much-needed win for Bilbao. Hopefully they can start climbing the table now.

Atletico Madrid
WE will beat them in the finalThey have never been relegated like Hamburg. Who knows

Sevilla could be sold, to MACY`S INC , although in another article they said that it would be a chinese group.
Fans, peñas and Biris have been protesting but it seems that Castro and Del Nido agree to sell

Leganes couldn't beat Celta so Bilbao and Villarreal can close the gap on them at the weekend.
Leganes are doing fine. Would imagine they'll pick up many more home wins as they got 4 points off Barca and Atletico Madrid so any away point is good.
Going to need 40 points or even more to stay up this season I think. Only Huesca looks out of their depth (Rayo had had some good periods in games but just can't defend at crunch monents).
You always needed less than 40 points to stay up in the last years, tbh. 35 points should be enough, imo.

Why is Llorento playing that much? Where is Ceballos? I thought he was doing well this season
Casemiro is injured,so probably he will be back to the bench in a few weeks.
I think Ceballos chances are -so far- more related to Modric/Kroos,Although I believe he still didn't find his correct place
Can't he play in DM like Busquets? He reminds me so much of him
Llorente has hardly played this season.
I see Madrid are grinding out another 1-0 against relegation candidates. Wierd when today at least Atletico are the new entertainers and Real are boring to watch as they've been for most of the season. No fantasy in that 11 at all.
Courtois 
What a fecking save in the last minute! He's geniunely saved Madrid about 10 points already this season

Surely Real Madrid have got to sign a striker in January?
Well, we should have scored 3 or 4 today....but yes
Rayo defence will relegate them sadly. Conceded 5 at home to likes of Sevilla and Alaves. Were also missing R.D.T upfront.
Fixture list has been very kind for Solari so far. Valencia would've been more difficult at Mestalla and then you have two teams in bottom 3 in Huesca and Rayo. That's before we even mention Eibar....
Don't think he's the new Zidane tbh although the problems on the pitch aren't obviously his fault.
Yes, It's boring. The team has improved a bit but it is not enough. At the beginning of the season there were days with little attendance but it is already becoming habitual.
Today around 50,000, that is, more than 15,000 socios didn't bother to go, even though the time was perfect.
The young project is good but we do not have so much patience and it must be complemented.
Solari and the players have a lot to improve, and we will see if there is no catastrophe in the Clubs World Cup
I see him more as a "volante",RCM.I think he has talent to play more advanced.
For that position he has to learn to keep the position, to be more strict perhaps
Ceballos has to stop holding onto the damn ball like as if it were one of his testicles
The project young is fine IF we sign Sancho or De Jong, or Vinicius and Rodrygo work out(i do have big expections from Rodrygo, more than Vini)
Apparently Sancho was about to sign last year but he didn´t accept the conditions of the club(time in Castilla, accept loans,etc) and now they regret, reason why maybe they insist so much on Brahim.
I also trust Rodrygo a lot but even coming now he would need time. Marcelo, Varane, Ramos, or Casemiro had to go through hardships. It took years to reach their level.
De Jong is so Barça...it would be great to get him
Another tight win for Real. Get them a striker in january or they are fecked for the rest of the season.
What about Odegaard?
Yes, and going to Dortmund was great for him, and now he's gonna cost a bomb, but we're seeing he's worth it. And he might be ready too. But regardless, whether it's next summer or in 2020, we have to blow everyone else out of the water
Same with De Jong
Anyone know how Patrick Roberts has done for Girona? Just checked their line up and he isn't in 18 so seems he's picked up an injury but he has been starting in recent weeks alongside Stuani.
I can't say I watch Girona or paid attention to him. All I know is that Portu, Stuani and Garcia are their three starters. Portu was injured and Roberts started for him. At the beginning of the season he was their 5th choice (for three positions), but he seems to be ahead of Lozano now. Portu is back, but he'll continue to get minutes. So he must do alright. That said, I think it is going to be very difficult to become a regular starter without any of those three getting injured.
He's injured but I haven't noticed him much. He's started once but as been otherwise on the bench and usually gets minutes.
It's hard for him to get in because their forwards have been performing very well, as has their right back (they player 3-5-2). He's been given a fair shot however and looks like a decent loan experience so far from the outside.
Ahhhh Villareal couldn't quite hang on. Were down to 10 men and facing penalty at 1-1 which Huesca missed. Villareal then went 2-1 up before conceding in 94th minute.
Bilbao have chance to move out of the zone tomorrow night. Got a feeling they'll beat Alaves.

Who's playing on the right for Barca tonight?
Messi being Messi.
Actually a pretty good performance by Barca tonight as Levante are a tough team to play nowadays and of course defeated Barca right at the end of last season.

Messi is incredible. That assist for Suarez, did he even look?
When Messi just decide to be Messi Barca are unstoppable . Barca are gonna destroy the league from now.
. Barca are gonna destroy the league from now.0-0 between Bilbao and Alaves. Second positive risulta in a row without conceding for Bilbao. They are slowly coming here.
