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?

Yes!
He was at Liverpool last season, but they didn't even register him and hasn't played for Newcastle yet!
The media Newcastle bias is sickening.
There’s a hashtag on Twitter for the final and it throws up almost exclusively Newcastle-centric stories about them winning their first trophy ever as a poor little Saudi Arabian David vs Goliath story. Many of these are from mainstream news sources. I hope we smash them

Casemiro has played 17 finals for club and country and won 16 of them. I'm not having us letting him down.
Nile Ranger, former Newcastle player, touting tickets for £2000

One reacted to Ranger selling the tickets by tweeting: "Areet @NilePowerRanger. NUFC gave you a chance - which you blew - in football. Why are you fleecing their fans? Is this a reason to boo? And how do you have so many tickets in the first place? You’d be there legitimately but you had more arrests than brain cells."

Now win that trophy please.
A front three of Sancho, Antony and Rashford please.
Let's get at them from the off.

Good practice playing against these Uber cnuts tonight.
Still can't believe geordies will have a week to prepare whilst we get just 2 days.
Riding the crest of a wave from beating Barcelona.
Don't think we have to worry about the few days rest.
Please no mid week hangover.
Must win game. Some silverware could really kick us on. Lads should be buzzing after beating Barca
Only three sleeps to our first trophy in years.
The danger is Newcastle play for penalties. Sort of like Villareal in the europa, although we are much better now as a team.
Really need a win here. ETH will be judged on trophy’s so picking up the first one available will be massive. Then we still have the Europa.
Even more embarrassing for them when we beat them.
They are on the slide but still difficult to beat. We need the first goal.
We'll win. Games like that build momentum and character like nothing else. Shades of 99 with the amount of big matches. What a fecking turn around in a year.
Dalot
Martinez
Varane
Shaw
Casemerio
Fred
Sabitzar
Bruno
Rashford
Antony
Martinez

Win this and I don't give a feck what happens in the other cups. Want a trophy, any trophy
The win against barca will not count if we do not win this
That's a fecking insane record.
Bring it on, We'll demolish these cnuts.
Hope Rashford is ok
The fact we beat Barcelona tonight (and without needing extra time) suggests to me that we will beat Newcastle on Sunday. We have momentum and confidence (plus players like Casemiro, Varane and Martinez who have won the big prizes).
It absolutely will. Both are completely unrelated.
If anything, getting one over Barca was more important for me.
The True Geordie is going to sort him out with a rant.
Can we change the title to « Pope suspended, Dubravka cup-tied, Newcastle fecked » ? Please.
Will be completely different on Sunday…Barca were open and attacking. Newcastle will be the total opposite.
Will need a completely different approach from United. But EtH will know what to do.

Some interesting selection choices for the final in that some players tonight only played a half or 60 minutes. AWB, Antony, Dalot, Weghorst, Sancho, Garnacho , also Sabitzer didn't even feature. We should have some fresh players to pick if people are worried about fatigue.
Someone has already let him down so it won’t be upon us.
Would be a change for him, not taking someone's shit.
Is that needle looking cnut Anthony Gordon also cup tied?
The one final that he lost was 2021 when his Brazil side failed to defend the Copa America crown. Fred (who wasn't included in the 2019 winning side) did let him down there... But either way, we are winning this on Sunday.
We’re playing so many matches but it’s a lot easier when you’re winning. Beating Barca over two legs is a massive boost to the whole club and the players will be right up for this. Can’t wait.
Ranger was like his arch nemesis for years
Any keeper can have a blinder on their day, let’s not get too giddy over that suspension. We should fecking batter them just because we are class though.
Yes, it will.
They really weren't once they took the lead.
