Btw, is it me or have their photos been airbrushed to within an inch of their lives? Some of them don't even look real any more!

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.

Geoff Morrel is a cool looking old fella isn't he? That's how I want to look when I'm that age.
One of the key cast members has been banished.
To be reborn as Gandalf the White?
Not quite... Recast
It would be better to explore new stories. The Peter Jackson LOTR trilogy is a masterpiece.
Got me through so many boring trips to and from America in the early 2000s.

Like any sane person on this world I have an annual trilogy marathon where I re-watch them all in 1 day.
Extended versions I hope
How dare you even askExtended versions I hope
Have you guys noticed there are few different scenes in normal versions than extended editions. I have watched extended for like 900 times (back to back) and was watching normal one on Netflix last week. Some scenes that weren’t on extended made me feel like .... come on guys, you know the feeling
There's a good man.Extended versions I hope
This is my annual ‘Christmas day alone’ tradition.
The worst part of ROTK is when Aragorn delivers his speech in front of the Black Gate and it's nowhere near as epic as the version in the trailer. That basically ruined the film for me when I saw it at the cinema.
They are one of my favourite trilogies of all time but I must say, the book is even better.
I'm infinitely glad that I read the books a few years before the movies came out and had a brief period of time during which the visualisation of each character was floating around in my head uniquely to me.
It's hard to separate them from the film version now, whether I approved of it or not.
It's also because we had such a feckin awesome speech by Theoden in the same movie.
I struggle with the trilogy thesedsays. They ought to do another adaptation of LOTRs. This time with hobbit sex...surely they did?
Why do you struggle with trilogy?
Hmmmm...just find it too 2D...the characters don't have much personality. Perhaps I've seen it too much and the scenes I liked don't do it for me anymore. As for the books I gave up a bit into Two Towers.
The books and the movies are masterpieces in their own right, and that's a rare thing indeed.
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew?
You know what they said about Frodo and Sam. What happens in Mordor stays in Mordor.
The trilogy is a masterpiece IMO. It's timeless and will still look amazing in 30 years.
If you don't enjoy the films and the books, LOTR just isn't for you. Did you enjoy The Hobbit?
I did enjoy the trilogy, I also enjoyed the first book. I've got all the extended versions and all. But they don't do much for me anymore. And no, I didn't like The Hobbit, it shouldn't have been a trilogy.
Blasphemy! Viggo Mortensen not being able to shout like a normal human is a constant highlight.
Also the random Irish accent he adopts when he yells "Let De Lord a De Black Land come fort" iss great.
Have to agree with the Hobbit.
That's not nice. You could just call him Spoony.
As long as there's no more 10 minute long washing up the dishes/disney singalong scenes
Look, Viggo Mortenson is god. No-one disputes that.
We could've ended up with Stewart Townsend and Sean Connery. Let's be thankful.
What part of Ireland is that from, Jamaica?
This is the worst LOTR take I've ever come across, I used to get chills down my spine with that speech.

It pales against the Rohirrim speech though. Not his fault i guess, but I know which King I would rather follow into battle.
The Rohirrim speech is one of the best in history.
I ain't dissing the speech yo. I'm just questioning the decision to use a different take in the final cut. Have you heard the trailer version compared to the one in the film?
2 minute mark.
Chills.
My favourite part of the trilogy
