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.

Really sad to hear this today - I always really loved Paradise by the Dashboard Light and enjoyed a ton of his other songs too. Always seemed like a cool guy too.
Sorry if this comes across as party pooping, but bear in mind that he was a singing actor; all the songs and arrangements, as well as the Meatloaf character, were the creations of Jim Steinman, who died last year.
Fantastic song. And I always thought he was great in Fight Club too.
WHAT??? JIM STEINMAN IS DEAD? AND THIS IS HOW YOU BREAK THE NEWS TO ME?
A bit like Elvis then.
Party Pooping? Hes dead. It doesnt get worse than that
His name is Robert Paulson.
No idea yet what he died off?
My first thought, what's all this Michael Lee Aday nonsense, in death his name is Robert Paulson.
First 7" single I physically bought was Dead Ringer with him and Cher belting it our.
Not really.
Elvis was very much Elvis before the Evil Corporate Bastards got to him.
Edit: more like The Monkees, or Alvin Stardust.
RIP.
Like most of the singers anyway. At least meatloaf didnt use auto tune.
I'd say more like the Elton John to Steinman's Bernie Taupin, Meatloaf had a unique voice and singing talent that Steinman used to create great music.
What a showman. Sad to see him gone.
Oh don’t get me wrong Meatloaf was fab.
Steinman was great with Bonnie Tyler too. Holding Out For A Hero out-Meatloafs Meatloaf
Came in here to post this. In death, everyone has a name!
What a performer. Feeling very sad.
Sad news, another lifelong familiar face gone. Not really ever been a huge fan of his music but no denying he was a great showman and had some monster tracks and a monster set of pipes!
Noooo
I would do anything to have him back, but I won't do that.
RIP

Bat out of Hell was one of those albums everyone had no matter what music your were in to. Rumours was another.
I remember a few saying he didn’t look at all well when he appeared on TV recently
Bat out of Hell II was one of my most played CDs ever...but I hid it in my Ten case so my friends wouldn't see it.
Seemed a top dude til all the GOP rallies

Got to refute that Wibbs, had Bat Out of Hell but never had Rumours. I really can't abide later Fleetwood Mac, mainly due to Mick, loved some of the Peter Green stuff but hated the later drippy MOR crap.
One of the truly great albums, I will be playing it today in my car all day, mind you its on my spotify playlist so tracks come up all the time.
This is brillant 22 mins long
Did he have covid?
From what I know he was in pretty rough shape for a long time.
RIP Meatloaf.
RIP Meatloaf.
"I'd do anything for love".
I was so in love with this song as a kid (and the beautiful female actress in the music video).
RIP!

aaah come on man, are you telling me his real name wasn't Meatloaf.
No he legally changed his name to Meatloaf in the 70s.
