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.
It’s unreal, in 2021, reading a sentence like “punishments may include jail time, floggings, death, fines, deportation, chemical castration, forced psychological treatments, beatings, forced hormone injections, and torture.”
It’s actually mental when you read it isn’t it. It seems like a statement you would see in a history book in school.
It’s such a shame as Dubai is a stunning place yet the outrageous rules ruin the whole UAE
It's proper mental there and the only reasons people turn blind eye on it are money and pc.
In what sense is pc a reason for the blind eye?
Tbh this is the case in any Islamic country. There’s never going to be acceptance of LGBTQ communities there.
It’s Tomus, he thinks it’s alright for facists to assault gay rights supporters. Don’t expect a reply with any logic or any bearing on reality.
Yeah, not a great look but I'd just like to get an explanation on how and why he thinks pc culture is somehow covering up Dubai's crimes.
These aren't the only crimes they're covering up. Apparently like a million Christians around the world get beheaded for their faith every single year.
Oh dear.
Religion and culture
Which means you're for discriminating against lgbt? Because I stressed how serious the issue is there and you complain. Then you talk about logic hmmmmmm.
What on Earth are you babbling on about this time?
Good post. We can see that with PSG and Qatar. Before PSG, Qatar already invested a lot of money in France but nobody really cared about what they were doing in there country since we didn't know who they were, it was only deals known by businessman but the general population barely knew Qatar was a country. When they bought PSG, they revealed themselves to the population and critics had far more weight. They had to gradually improve their human rights policies. Don't get me wrong, that's FAR from enough but at least it's not as bad as it was 10 years ago.
Everything's fine
Didn't get the memo, did they? This is pretty shameful stuff to be honest.
The things people will do, say, and tolerate, for some expensive transfers
Right... weird. Especially given that the British press is extremely islamophobic.
Can you define what you mean by pc?
I'm babbling about you babbling so as per usual
A non-portable computer.
Ok so you are just wumming as per usual.
If you call stressing such an important issue as wumming then yes.
Okay, so perhaps this is where the hold up is. Everyone thought you were being a belligerent gammon but it turns out you just didn't know the alternate definition of the term you were using.
The term pc stands for political correctness, just for future reference.
Wait you actually thought I did mean it
Sarcasm.
Anyway, I disagree poltical correctness has anything to do with ignoring human rights issues in places like Saudi-Arabia, the UAE, or Qatar. It's all about money and politics.

Shameful but that’s human nature isn’t it. Feck it all for a grab at the wealth!
Is it even wealth for the supporters? They get to see their team win trophies possibly, but is there a monetary benefit? Or does it come down to bragging rights?
Really? But football fans are famous for their political correctness
Well yes it comes down to wealth in that they now have an unlimited transfer budget which is what they are ultimately celebrating. Sure they aren’t directly seeing the money but they are all certainly aware of what this blood money means.
Oh dear.
Politics which pc is, has always been and will be a huge part of. At this time it's like talking about semantics and a few guys just take whatever I said as anti something.
Just ignore that guy.
No morals in football. I hope they enjoy their blood covered trophies!
I hope they get fecking relegated
Wow. This is unbelievable in some ways and not surprising either
