Hopefully he learns a valuable life lesson: sometimes when you don't get the things you want, you simply have to lego.

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 most hateable manager in Premier League history, for me.
Agreed, I can’t stand the guy
I think i hate this twat more than any manager ever managed in the PL. Obnoxious bellend.
That's an impressive level of hatred
In the mean time all EPL fans love ETH.
Arteta is a weird dork. Won it after the added time the prick.
When did you start to become such a troll or is the mask slipping..
He makes Neil Warnock seem nice.
Lucky general but I still expect Liverpool and Man City to finish the season ahead of his Arsenal team.
You are ok with people hatred toward Arteta, but then not happy about others love ETH?
You were baiting with the Qatari comments in the Newcastle thread yesterday then at it again tonight.
Go troll elsewhere
Fergie was a thing back in the day. Don’t think that diminished any of Fergie reputation
I would say that is double standard consider the comments toward the Newcastle fans and Arteta.
You would do because you are trolling on a United forum.
Go enjoy your win instead.
Fergie won things.
I think you're referring to Sir Alex Ferguson...
Not Liverpool based on their performances, especially away where they struggle to win games.
Their team is also nothing special that I would expect them to kick on and go on a massive win streak in the same way City can.
Can't speak for him but it's definitely become part of the enjoyment watching people losing their sh*t about Arteta. Just like we can't wait to hear what Pep and Klopp will say or do after an unusual game wether they win, lose or draw.
The hatred toward Arteta, is kind of a recognition for the work he has done for Arsenal. It is a positive sign.Can't speak for him but it's definitely become part of the enjoyment watching people losing their sh*t about Arteta. Just like we can't wait to hear what Pep and Klopp will say or do after an unusual game wether they win, lose or draw.
No.Hes done a good job no one denies that, its his ridiculous antics on the touchline that people don't like.
Fair enough, but aren't Conte and Klopp had strong emotion on the touchline as well?
Agreed. Petulant man child with faux hardman act when he'd get folded up like recycling by anyone with anything about them.
Yes that goofy clown klopp is just as bad.Conte is no longer here so nobody cares.
Yes and he continues to dress like Pep did in some kind of weird homage.
For pure entertainment their styles are probably better suited to tiktok short video than the calm one sitting on the bench .
Last season was unbearable. He spent almost all the game outside the technical area on the touch line. I was hoping someone would "overrun" the ball and wipe him out to prove a point.
I do wish sometimes our manager would show some emotion, but klopp and Arteta come across as completely unhinged its not a good look oh yes pashun they call it apparently.
He knows exactly what they need
No need for it, but he seems to get away with it.
If I was a player I'd do it!
You are right, what he’s needing is a flat cap, to really be different and some sort of trend setter.

Justice at last. The PL will be a safe haven this weekend.
Seriously? He did actually have an extended period in the PL as a DM. Demean him as a coach as Lego-Pep if you like, but for his playing career, he was a real hardman not a faux one.
I heard Arteta kicks his cat after every loss.
City I think will finish on less points than last seasons 89 points. Liverpool have now played City, Newcastle, Tottenham away all sides I expect them to beat in Anfield and should also beat Arsenal there at the end of this month. Those results alone will put them in a very healthy position.
They don't look convincing in games yet have a habit of finding ways to win with plenty of luck. Getting a lot of injuries is the only way I don't see them finishing in the top two.
You make a relevant observation but he strikes me as the person who squares up when they know they are protected by circumstance. The passive-aggresive guy in the office or the sibling who acts up in front of parents. I find it all a bit embarrassing. I respect him as a coach but his touchline antics make it difficult to warm to him as neutral/rival. It's difficult for you to see it as he's a cnut, but he's your cnut. Reverse situation of Bruno.
Eh, more of a DLP than a DM if we’re being honest.
Of course he's a complete cnut and our cnut. I respect and understand that. His touchline antics are ridiculous, but so was Wenger's "I didn't see that." But he was a proper hard man in his day. There are some faux ones roaming about, in managerial ranks and sadly amongst current players too. Whatever you might think of Arteta as either a rival, a neutral, or an Arsenal fan (and we argue about him too), he's not a faux hard man.
All these late stoppage goals surely must lead to a title win. SAF had them, Klopp had them. But if you don't win the title after all this then doubts will creep in eventually. Do not think they can continue to call themselves underdogs anymore. This is the season they should go all out.
What a clown
