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?
That video actually had me in stitches 
Looks like they took City's Kippax re-build plans, up-scaled it a bit and painted it red. Just build a state of the art new stadium & ground share?
The Cissokho vid is brilliant, love the text incrustations!
I much prefer the traditional four-stand stadium compared to the modern bowl design. This rebuild will retain the aura of Anfield & provide modernization at the same time, as well as being a more cost-effective option. It's a win-win situation really.
Ground sharing is an unthinkable idea.
100 Million for 9,000 seats. Seems quite a lot.
I don't think it's just seats, the whole stadium has been needing rejuvenation for quite a long time.
Ok, I hear that, I love Goodison, Loftus Road, Craven Cottage etc but if Liverpool are to join the big boys of Europe, they have to compete in seat numbers & this won't achieve that AND on a Corporate match day entertaining level which, means a Stadium people in their thousands, want to spend the entire day at, spending cash in restaurants etc. Only a new Stadium, can provide such facilities.
In many ways, United messed up by not going for the complete rebuild & we have a hotch-botch of a stadium, with detached sections & an atmosphere that suffers as a result.
Why is it good enough for the Milan sides to share & not for the Pool or Sheffield or Bristol where as we know, families are split red & blue - I don't get it?
Reports are that match day revenue will be second only to Manchester United, which suggests that we will indeed be optimising Anfield as a match day venue to the extent required.
Not groundsharing means we're able to retain a vital part of our identity, rather than splitting it with another club. We're also a much bigger club than Everton and thus have excellent match day potential if we expand to the extent required. There's no need for us to share with Everton, really.
John Henry (our owner) stated about a year ago that too much is made of the need for bigger attendances in order for Liverpool to compete. He claimed that the club made more from commercial & sponsorship deals than they did from matchday revenue. We're starting to get it right, on, & off, the pitch. Provided that continues, then the financial rewards will follow. An extra 10,000 to 15,000 extra supporters, with a lot more corporate facilities, is obviously going to help
I'm absolutely delighted that we're staying at our home. It can inspire our players no end, & can often have a debilitating effect on a lot of opposition players. I seriously doubt a shiny new stadium will ever replicate the claustrophobic, intimidating, atmosphere of a fired-up Anfield crowd.
Ok, look forward to the extra ticket allocation
I read in the Echo that phase one will only add 8,500 extra seats, not a huge increase.
I feel United got it very wrong & Liverpool seem to be going down the same route. Each phase of Old Trafford's development has made the place less atmospheric, although more profitable for sure. We've had a similar redevelopment to the one proposed for the Anfield Main Stand. First came the new Stretford End as a result of the no standing legislation. United's 1960's North Stand was completely rebuilt, then another tear added (if memory serves), then the two ends behind the goals were increased & then the two quadrants (corners) were filled in. Each addition has managed to alienate the sections from each other & I expect the same to happen the Anfield, which would be unfortunate.
Not sure about the extra tickets, but I've heard that the opposition supporters will be located on the other side of the Anfield Road end. This will make access to coaches parked on Arkles Lane much quicker & easier.Ok, look forward to the extra ticket allocation
Now that will be appreciated

What an idiot.
Also he's invited Moyes for dinner in the director's box. He does it with all sacked managers.

That corner from Aspas. That's enough to be sold on the spot in my opinion.
that made my morning commute to work a lot more pleasantIt really was awful wasn't it, just at a time when were were putting on a bit of pressure too.
Though the defeat yesterday hurts I've always said i'd look to the plenty of positives we have going around us at the moment, and the fact that at the start of the season I'd have said you were on drugs if you said we'd be finishing no lower than third & already in the Champions league with a shot of the title at this point. Hopefully the fact city's three opponents left still have something to fight for will go against them and we win our last two.
If Arsenal win today, top 4 is as good as over for Everton. Aston Villa play Hull at home before travelling to Etihad. Win that and they are safe before travelling to City. West Ham will be practically safe before the last matchday as well.
Not looking great admittidley is it, though this season has been a funny one, everytime somone is declared favourites for the title they mess it up....that's what little hope im grasping on to in the meantime though at least.Tweet

Until City win the Everton game, Liverpool will remain favorites to win the title in my book.
Same here - you want the points not the games in hand at this pointin the season. And I wouldn't use the word "until"... more like "unless".
Thanks.This.
Although if City hypothetically won all games in hand and they'll win it, it's practically "In their hands" though
Liverpool are still nailed on guys, does anyone actually trust City enough at the moment to win all their games?
Its written in the stars this year....let them enjoy it.....

Still, Liverpool staff and players must be fecking scratching their heads this morning. Title seemingly won. 11 games won on the bounce but still not enough. 5 points clear yesterday but could be in 3rd place by the time they play next. And on top of all that, Steven Gerrard has possibly blown the league for them.
Bet that stings.
Bet that stings.
That article is worth reading for that headline alone.
If City beat Everton in the next match, the title race is over. That would have been a big if not so long ago, but other than making Moyes look like a chump, Everton have gone off the boil.Liverpool are still nailed on guys, does anyone actually trust City enough at the moment to win all their games?

The season City beat us to the title, their trip to Newcastle gave us a bit of hope, but they brushed them aside 0-2 with ease. I have a feeling that it's going to be a similar outcome with Everton.
As great as yesterday was, and I enjoyed the madness, I still can't help but feel City will still need Liverpool to drop points again, although if that's then the case, Jose's rabble suddenly arrive on the scene again, it's a bit of a mad year.
Pressure's on City though, which means it's off Liverpool.
Yesterday's defeat will either spur Liverpool on or cause them to wobble further. Personally, I reckon it'll spur them on.
Though, for me, it's anyone but Liverpool to win it.

Liverpool will still win the league.
City still have to face Everton away and West Ham, Villa at home. City's recent away record at Everton is awful. Villa are fighting for their lives and do very well against the top teams. Liverpool on the other hand play already safe Palace and a terrible Newcastle side. Newcastle are so bad Liverpool might fancy giving them a real drubbing and trying to outdo City's GD if necessary.

Liverpool will get more than 10 goals in their two remaining games. There is only a slim chance that City can win all three and if they do their GD will be inferior come the end. I'm 99% certain that Liverpool will win it.
I don't think I can stand the sight of Gerrard and Suarez hoisting the Cup. Hoping it doesn't turn out that way but if it does they deserve it.
The table don't lie come the end of the season.

City's goal difference in better by 8 goals currently. If they win their 3 remaining games, then that would add at least 3 goals to their GD..meaning Liverpool would need to score 11 goals in their 2 games.
If City win their games, then it is highly unlikely that Liverpool will end with a better goal difference.
I think City will win it from here. Liverpool won't make-up the GD anyway, that is a definite. I know City could still slip but I'm not sure. I think the Liverpool slip-up will re-focus City. They won't do it again. I expect them to win all 3 remaining games comfortably.
That's more like it ZDwyr City will definitley win it now. Nope, no way they can throw it away at this stage, absolutley no chance....

Somehow it feels like the cosmical energy has changed since we firred Moyes and the universe is smiling on us again.
