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?

I know they'll probably slip up somewhere but they have a legitimate shot at an unbeaten season from here on out.
vs Packers, vs Titans could be difficult games and their week 14-16 road game stretch at Giants, at Bears, at Cowboys certainly won't be easy, but it's possible.

They do and I wouldn't be surprised if they go 17-0. Having said that I think they don't have enough firepower to be able to put up 30+ points that they'll need against the winner of the AFC (assuming it's the Bills or the Chiefs) in a Super Bowl. I just think this is the Bills year and the only team that could potentially stop them is KC. But I'm obviously a bit biased so feel free to ignore my take.
They will not go 17-0.
He had a great season the year he got paid in 2019, but it's been injuries and more injuries since then. Saints have been without WR1 for 2 straight years.
Not the best of optics when player on another team gets shot four times & misses only a handful of games.
That said, I don't know Thomas' specific injury, but I have suffered from severe turf toe in the past & that shit is debilitating.
The NFL in general is so poor this year. This Eagles team is 8-0, crazy.
Not sure what that's supposed to mean. They are absolutely loaded on defense, have a good young QB, a great O-line and efficient run game, two excellent WRs and an above average TE. Literally the most complete team in the NFL at the moment apart from maybe the Bills.
Not a chance, they have had a very easy schedule and are the on the same level the Steelers were a couple of years when they got to something like 10 and 0 before they came up against a good team.
Hurts is decent they had a good draft and AJ Brown was a good pick for them but they have proven nothing with the schedule they have had
It means they are not a very good team.
Adding in so i'm not being too baitey - being 8-0 would normally mean a teamis extremely solid. Eagles aren't that level - yet. Favourable schedule, you'd fancy3 or 4 teams to beat them easily.

More than a few shades of Dallas bitterness in this post IMO. They're a good side. They have a really nicely balanced team. Granted their schedule has been, and still is, very favourable though.
Would still fancy SF and a Dallas side with Dak to beat them from the NFC. Baltimore, Kansas and Buffalo from the AFC.
That Steelers team was a fluke. This Philly team has a strong balanced roster with as good of a pass-catching trio as anywhere. They just lack a time-tested QB who’s proven he can win with his arm in the playoffs, and that could get resolved soon. He gave OU our own 28-3 big-game comeback a couple years back...
Tbh that's what I mean their schedule has been so kind to them that they will be the number one seed now no matter what as they would have to lose more than three games from here on in and they won't do that.
They might lose one, two tops but that's it and we still won't actually know how good they are.
I like Hurts but I'm not totally convinced he is elite and it will be interesting when he is tested. Their Defensive line is not as good as people think especially against the run but again they haven't been tested that much
It’s easy, I think, to get into a bit of a haze with how competitive (or, maybe, how some teams expected to be good have been distinctly average) the NFL has been this year to incorrectly subconsciously bring this Eagles team down with that thematic. This is a very good team. Balanced, some excellent star players playing well, which can hit you in many ways complemented by a top class defence.
If they go unbeaten, though, it’s not because they’re historically good. I do think the schedule has played a big part. But let’s not kid ourselves that they’re just average. The only two teams I’d pick to beat them are the Bills and Chiefs. Even the likes of the 49ers would find them very challenging.

I know many are hyping Hurts for MVP but it's AJ Brown the true difference maker there. Agreed Hurts has come a ways but they're not putting up points without Brown pulling defenders away from others and making his own incredible plays.
In a league in which everyone is lining up to lose games with boneheaded decisions, I am just happy that the Eagles have shown the ability to win in different ways without killing themselves. The schedule argument is just boring to me because you can only play what’s in front of you and NFL is a tough league all across the board .
I think run defence is a bit of a weakness specially with Jordan Davies injured but other than that this team has a lot of bases covered. Apart from KC & Bills there isn’t a team I am that scared of . Of course Cowboys,Niners etc can beat us but don’t fear them at all. Niners are 4-4 with losses to Falcons,Chicago and Denver so they have their own shit to deal with

The Chargers really are cursed. They somehow are worse off on the injury front after their bye week.

The way the Falcons are playing, they'll probably win.
Need a Chargers win though for obvious reasons (not that we'll beat the Rams tomorrow).

Can the NFL get a fecking move on and start now. I want to immediately forget that pile of shite performance I've just endured.
Diggs vs Sauce today Not sure whether they'll meet a lot but something's gotta give if they do.
Only two games in the late window though which is a disappointment.
I'm having to rely on guys like Kenyan Drake, Deon Jackson and Isaiah Likely tonight to win some fantasy matchups, which gives me odd feelings.

Is it time for RedZone yet…
feck sake just found out the clocks went back in the States this week. An extra hour until Redzone.
There’s only a single week every year where we get the games an hour early, which was last week.
They should extend it to two weeks for our benefit.
Agreed.

Well...Diggs vs Sauce today
I can see the Falcons getting the upset tonight with all the receivers out for the Chargers.
No way!!
Awful throw Allen
I really struggle to follow a double box yet alone 3 or 4 of them. I must be special.
Jettas with a casual 4-48-1 line 5min into the game.
