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?

Ronaldo wants to play every game, his ego is too big.
He will be 40, and still would want to play every game despite being useless.
I think United is stuck with him, no big club wants old Ronaldo, Sporting Lisbon is his only chance to leave United.
I think that new challenge nonsense will not be voiced anymore as his Juve experience was already considered a mistake for both sides with him leaving right after Juve's worst season in the last 10 years before his contract end. Now that United regressed with him performing poorly, I do not think people will not buy that challenge argument anymore (that's if they were buying in the past).
I also think no elite team would be interested in him at this point.
I would not be surprised if he is told by United end season that he would no longer be a starter for the new season and mostly used as an impact-sub. It does not look like most United fans are in the mood to tolerate another season with him starting most games. I think he might choose to leave at that point. Playing for Sporting as a starter sounds more acceptable (for him) than playing at Premier League as an impact-sub.

How did he play against Nice?
Even though I could see the guy would be different outside of Barcelona; I wasn't really expecting him losing to clubs like Nice and not being able to put the ball in the net for PSG.

He is playing far from the box creating more than anything. As he has said, he likes to assit more than score and it seem Poch is using him in that role.
I don't know why Mbappé didn't play today. Besides, Hakimi got injured it seems. I barely saw the last 20-25 minutes.

Could be worse, could be playing like Ronaldo in 2022.
messi also has the most assists in Europe in 2022, but he was not good today
However, should you care to see highlights of his match:
mbappe was suspended apparently
He doesn't. This guy I'd never heard of has more.
Ah, good find, so apparently the espn stat that spoke about it was saying top 5 leagues which I guess didn’t include the Portuguese league.
678 pages. What are you guys going to do when they retire?
Discuss who had the better 2018 season.
And in another night, surely this sportsbible spouting nonesense:

I mean it's hard to say no to that retirement plea, it's Frank Leboeuf after all. Truly one of the greats.
game recognizing game
Both have fallen off. It’s striking that PSG have got worse the more Messi has the ball. Like Barca last year it becomes too slow and helps the oppositions defensive block.
Messi so far been a major disappointment, but Messi scored and created loads of goals last season.
Amazed this thread is still going. Who has the stamina to keep this conversation going? Jesus.

Who is the older player? Has done crap all since Xavi and Iniesta left Barcelona.
All Messi is an eye catching player a magician, a magician that needed to do it in the Barcelona environment, the Spain environment, have the Barcelona core passing it to him every chance they get. Such a significant club that plays such a certain way, such a way that can hardly be copied on to any other club.
Literally was a Balon D'or winner a few months ago and is now struggling in Ligue 1.
Just as much as it's not going to change the Messi fan boys mind - it's not going to change mine.
Everyone could guess that PSG were going to get knocked out yesterday because well it was that obvious.
Just defeat after defeat. Getting knocked out to Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and messi just holding his face in shame
Messi is just for those fans that love the players that dribble and think they are a different quality player than who doesn't do that.
The One opportunity he had to go to a different league and prove himself, the guy fails and he fails HARD!!!
And the excuses come up for him like he is Marcus Rashford. If you want to talk to me about this - let's not make Rashford like excuses
Ignoring the thread because who I speak to is not important, it's who I speak about. Feels great to have got something right like this

close thread time innit?
Both are way past their past, nothing they are capable of now is going to change that.

Ronaldo showing he's not done yet
Is this even a debate anymore?
Ronaldo has surpassed Messi a long time ago, Messi is the face of bottle jobs. Ronaldo is the definition of clutch. Ronaldo is better at 37 than Messi is at 34. MY GOAT CR7! Let the haters loud Messi, we do the talking on the pitch not in offices of journalists.
It's settled.
Messi customers can go home.
Messi customers can go home.
Im just going to say it.
Ronaldo at 37 is better then Messi at 34.
Ronaldo at 34 was also better then Messi at 34.
Goodnight.
Ronaldo at 37 is better then Messi at 34.
Ronaldo at 34 was also better then Messi at 34.
Goodnight.
Lads, it's Spurs.
This thread
Ronaldo at 34 would be around when he scored the hat-trick for Juve against Atletico and was carrying them in the KO rounds. That version of Ronaldo is miles clear of current Messi.
Has long not been a debate for me. Maybe like the Copa America, UEFA can have a bi monhtly champions league so Messi can win it with PSG?
Messi at 34 was a Ballon D'or winner and an international tournament MVP. That version of Messi is miles clear of 2019 version of Ronaldo.
Or they can have bi monthly PL games so maybe United can be a top 4 team again
Yes, this Messi won a Ballon D'or. If that is not ridiculous enough to make you laugh then nothing will.
La Liga top goal scorer (while playing as a playmaker) + 2nd most assists
IFFHS best playmaker (2.)
COPA top scorer + most assists + MVP
Copa Del Rey finals MVP

Enjoy!
I dont need youtube videos to enjoy. I just saw him strolling around the park midweek when his team was losing while Ronaldo at 37 dragged his team to a victory in the premier league. How many goals does Messi have at the uber eats league again?
You do realise he was 33 when he did all that right? You know how age works?
At 33 Ronaldo scored three goals over two legs against Paris Saint-Germain and netted three times over two legs against Juventus, where he bagged one of the greatest Champions League goals of all time. Oh, and he topped it off winning the threepeat. He’d won the Ballon d’Or the year prior too
Messi fanboys love to refer to his Balon D'ors. Office champion winning undeserved individual titles because he's the magical humble boy. How about his legacy as the face of:
- Losing 3-0 to Roma and being eliminated after winning 4-1 at Camp Nou
- Losing to Liverpool 4-0 after winning 3-0 at Camp Nou
- Losing 8-2!! against Bayern as the captain of his club
- Losing 3-1 to Real Madrid after being the face of the biggest project in football with PSG
Messi is a fraud, won the Balon D'or before VVD who just had made Liverpool into a winning side again winning the CL.
Winning Balon D'or over Lewandowski who dominated CL and scored a record amount of goals. Messi is a fecking FRAUD man, seeing him being exposed and ruining his legacy is beautiful to watch.

Ronaldo is the second top scorer in England.
Ronaldo scored more today than Messi has all season in the Uber Eats. Pathetic.
It’s not that he’s better better than Messi, he’s greater. Messi might be better with the ball than anyone ever but Ronaldo is just a better competitor.
His 807 goals is in an obscene achievement especially for someone who started as an out and out winger. He revolutionized a winger’s role in a team set a new standard for the contribution expected of a wide player. Until of course he logically became a striker.
He’s certainly the most influential player I’ve seen in my lifetime, not only influential in games, but on younger players who are modeling themselves after him.
