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?
"former manager"
I may cry.
I may cry.
Should never sold Ruud to Real - we could've had him for the full 90 
That was more of a match than our final PL game against WBA. Enjoyed that.
Wish he'd never left. He had to carry some average sides and never got to play when we actually turned goodShould never sold Ruud to Real - we could've had him for the full 90
Is it just me, or does Cole actually look pissed off? A true competitor!
Ruud in his prime in our 06-09 sides would have been a revelation.Wish he'd never left. He had to carry some average sides and never got to play when we actually turned good
That was a hidden dig at Welbeck!I'm not even joking when I say that Ruud come into this team next season and outscore everyone on our team other than Hernandez, Rooney and RvP
No mention of the transfer war chest. Sack Gill!
That was fun.
Booooo@Vato.
VDS having second thoughts after that performance.
Tantrums after the league cup final and being inpatient with the younger players can't have helped.Wish he'd never left. He had to carry some average sides and never got to play when we actually turned good
We did pretty well without him.
The decline starts. Moyes out.
I am livid that I missed it sounds like it was a great game and big names where out there also.
Welbeck scored as many goals as Anderson this year, less than each of our full backs and only half as many as a centre back who hadn't scored for us yuntil March of last year. Van Nistelrooy would outscore him blindfolded.That was a hidden dig at Welbeck!
An RVN-RVP partnership would be fun!
He said the same or similar before he retired, after announcing he will retire.VDS having second thoughts after that performance.
That was a hidden dig at Welbeck!
Didn't intend that but tbh, Ruud would still quite easily outscore Welbeck even if the latter was played up top.
Forget 06-09, Ruud would still do a decent job now, Larsson style.
A few pics from today
Also, it was for a good cause you miserable bastard Sparky and for your information the pitch is being ripped up tomorrow so it mattered not a feck.
Biggest cheer of the day for Fergie and quality him joining in the Mexican wave, legend.

when he finds out he was called 'Andy' in a major newspaper article, Andrew Cole is going to be furious.

Unbelievable to think Ruud only won 1 Premier League title with us.
Giggs should have played
I still, all these years later, grieve over Ruud's departure. Would we have had the greatest club XI of all time from 06 to the day Ronaldo left us had we not sold Ruud? Maybe. And maybe, just maybe, Ronaldo might not have left us had we done back to back trebles with Ruud at the front of the line.Should never sold Ruud to Real - we could've had him for the full 90
Would have been unfair. But we certainly did run out of "legends" to field.
You make it sound like he was amazing his entire stay with us. His performances seriously dropped towards the end. I don't think he would have been an improvement on Rooney/Tevez/Ronaldo/Saha. The beauty of that front line was its mobility. And didn't Ruud and Ronaldo apparently hate each other?
He left at the right time for me. The real shame was his peak coincided with us having a pretty average team.
Coley never asked to be referred to as Andrew. He was asked at a press conference what his Mum calls him & he said "Andrew" & the press took that as a given or just to piss him off maybe..
I managed to get some decent seats for this, it was as close as i'll ever get to being on the Madrid Bench anyway! Had chance to talk with Makalele, Salgado & Emilio Burtagueno (SP) here's just a few of the pics....
Nice one! You were sitting right next to many legends of our club right there! I'm so jealous of you right now.I managed to get some decent seats for this, it was as close as i'll ever get to being on the Madrid Bench anyway!

His performances seriously dropped towards the end.???? You can't be serious .
It was sad how things ended. He was still a prolific striker but we needed somebody mobile for the style we wanted and Ruud was too good to be on the bench. I remember he was so far ahead in the golden boot and as he played less and less Henry caught up to him then passed him. We have not has a more natural goalscorer in the last 20 years he scored in all games against all teams.
As I understand it Ruud was annoyed because the service he got from Ronaldo wasn't as good as what he'd previously gotten from Beckham and had a go at Ronaldo in training for being selfish or whatever. Ronaldo got upset and Ruud said something like 'why don't you go and cry to your daddy?' meaning Carlos Quieroz who Ronaldo was close to at the time, but it was poor timing as Ronaldo's actual father had recently died.
Not that the details really matter, when it comes down to it SAF had 2 players who had an issue which he didn't want to affect performance on the pitch, he saw one as being the future of the club and the other as replaceable, given that we'd signed Rooney the previous year. By all measures, Ruud was incredibly consistent for us, even in his injury plagued 2004/5 season he scored 16 goals for us in 27 games, but he moved on and so did we.
He was consistent when it came to scoring goals, but his all round performances seriously dropped towards the end. There would have been no issue with him and SAF if he kept up the same performance level.
