In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Why was it reduced? If it's reduced due to the nature of The tackle then surely it's a ban for Barnes. It should either have stayed at 3 or 0.
Reduced due to his reaction. They didn't feel the push was worthy of the full 3 matches.
Chelsea are a fecking joke It's always them. They have zero class whatsoever. They're rotten all the way through, from the board to the players to the fans.
Give it a couple of days and they'll be accusing Atkinson of racism.

Pfft, it should have been reduced to a yellow card.
What games does he miss?
Give them few days,he wont miss a game,hell he might even play few extra.
If there was any justice in the world, that would happen.
The death threats will be after that, too.Chelsea are a fecking joke

2 is about right. It was stupid from Matic to react like that, and it never ceases to annoy me how people paid so much cannot control themselves for a few seconds. But anyone with a brain cell can se Barnes tackle was terrible, and that he had reason to be angry, the FA agree that's why they reduced it.
He won't be able to rest then. It's a conspiracy i say.
Makes no sense to reduce the ban.
Spurs and West Ham.
Reducing a Matic`s ban is not justice for him,Barnes being banned it is but you dont fight for that,you dont see any interest in that,whats important is to be able and use Matic as player as soon as possible.
It's not - Roger Burden, chairman of the FA's regulatory commission, said the panel had "rejected the mitigation advanced by Nemanja Matic in respect of the provocation and tackle he received which led to his act of violent conduct".
It was only reduced because they accepted Matic's case regards the level of force he used, and where the contact was made.
Ok fair enough. Point still stands regarding Barnes though.
Agree with that.
Since when was retaliation acceptable dependant on provocation?
Why can't Barton now say his cheeky little balls tap to Huddleston isn't worth a game reduction?
Being shoved over from behind has to be more violent than that
Read what the FA have said. The ban has been reduced because they do not feel Matic's push to be worthy of a 3-match ban. They did not take into account the tackle by Barnes.
I bet they said to justify reducing the ban but if Barnes got carded by the ref, I'm sure no reduction would have occurred.
They've opened a real can of worms with this one then.
I'm sure we can all remember countless incidents where something has been "violent conduct" and was nothing of the sort.
They're tweaking their own rules to passify Chelsea. Smart work from Mourinho building up the imagery that they're hard done by
Of course it doesn't make sense, it's the FA after all, remember?
Except he wasn't tackling Matic.
Reduction? Honestly...
Not worthy of 3 matches...hahaha. God, the FA will bend far too easily. Even if it's 1 match less, they shouldnt have done that. Shows weakness to mourinho's crying.

Chelsea and Mou did what they had to do, but they're a disgusting club.
Mourinho knows him inside out so perhaps its better the devil you know? Fabinho Bakayoko etc could come and end up the next Depay for all we know. Perhaps that's why hes after Dier, another proven player in the premiership
