In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
The pitch is fecking shocking. Get them off.
that pitch is trash.
Pitch looks dreadful
Bit weird both teams are playing with their away kits that look almost similar. Nearly a colour clash
Ridiculous, surely marketing reasons but this won’t be easy watching
Why the feck are both teams wearing very similar kits
Pitch is woeful
None. Just MUTV.
Aussies have gone full Hollywood with the pre-match show
Feckin pitches are better on Hackney Marshes than the Optus.
Wow. Erik really stamping he's mark on this team already. The quick 1 touch passing looks like it's taking fast.
Pitch messing up the moves though.
Let's see how ETH improves the defense though.

Pitch is awful, just what you want in preseason to pick up an injury.
I wonder how these kits look to people with colour blindness.

I think that would have been a penalty under VAR.
So far seems pretty clear that we have a squad of about 14 players that are actually trusted. Starting 11 out there plus Malacia, Varane, McTominay. Add Eriksen and Martinez and there's 16, so only 5 subs at any time. Doubt anyone else gets serious game time. 2 CB, 1 LB, 2 midfielders.
Definitely need some attacking depth.

I think we may draw this one. Those front two versus our back two worries me a bit. Of course just a friendly but it will definitely be the toughest test so far. Pitch is a shambles so hopefully no injuries.
Pitch condition is pretty bad
How are they similar?
The pitch is absolutely disgraceful. How can the team play the way ETH wants and put in a good performance before the season starts when the pitch is this bad.
At least one player will go off injured today, guaranteed.

It’s genuinely funny how much easier the ball is travelling over the new patches of grass compared to the rest of the pitch
Does the stadium not have a groundsman?
Damn, the man utd website is shite and doesn't work. The App refuses to let me login eventhough I have already verified my email ... what utter rubbish ...
Slippys influence already in show.
Falling over at the slightest touch.

I thought the final fight of Endgame happened in New York, not on this pitch??
Maguire almost with the opening goal. Good save by Martinez.
I do like Donny and Fred. McTominay definitely should be a bench player only.
That pitch...WTF?! My eyes are bleeding
My eyes are bleeding@VictoryUltras has been too busy
Two light jersey, darker shorts and socks. Generally you want light/dark contrast between all parts of the kits.How are they similar?
Just wanted to check to see if anyone can tell me what the pitch is like
So they don't have football stadiums in Australia?
The ball almost stops dead after 5 yards!
Maguire getting out of position so easily from the throw-in. I wonder what the play was.
Ings just banished Maguire into the shadow realm. 
Are Maguire and Fernandes taking the piss?
It's green I think
My thoughts exactly
Are people really saying there's a kit clash? Seriously? I see very different colors.
That pitch is completely unacceptable. How hard is it to make sure the facilities are up to scratch?
