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.

As the dust settles after that disembowelment, it all just feels depressing
You are right, he won’t take any dollars but a sh*t tone of pounds.
Has any single match desecrated the United name as much as the Liverpool game we just witnessed? That City plummeting didn’t feel as bad for some reason.
I love Ole and I wish we could keep him as part of the set up, maybe in a more stakeholder oriented role, but just not as manager.

As magical as that PSG come back was, god knows I would have rather lost it. Eventually that was what made the board sign Ole as a permanent manager and here we are now 3 years latter wasted.
Yes, which is why it's so bizzare the club seemed in such a rush to renew all their contracts.
A 3-0 against useless Spurs may do the trick hopefully
No rumours of him being sacked yet then? Honestly thought they'd be loads and it would be made official in the morning
spot on. I hate Neymar and the rest of the idiots at PSG. They couldn't hit a barn door that night. Muppets the lot of them.
Rodgers is waiting for an Arsenal or United to become available, then he'd dump Leicester. He's as unconvincing as his Liverpool and Leicester sides and his ego is bigger than his skillset. I'd hate if we hired him.
Sack him now please
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he has "come too far to give up" despite overseeing Sunday's 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Mohamed Salah claimed a hat-trick while Naby Keita and Diogo Jota also scored in the Reds' dominant win.
Solskjaer said the loss is his "darkest day" as manager but will carry on.
"I have come too far to give up. I am not built that way," he told BBC Radio 5 live.

I think he'll get more time - until the next international break.
I'd guess if anytime it will be the international break after losing to City. Otherwise he'll see out the season.
November 29th after we get battered by Chelsea having been battered by City a week earlier.
No way do we sack him, we have to put the message out that we are totally behind Ole come hell or high water.
We are Man Utd and we need to stand by our man.
We are Man Utd and we need to stand by our man.
Yeah, a real head-scratcher.
Subtle.
There's a difference, Chelsea have a owner who loves winning and understands football or at least hires people who provide him with solid advice. Our owners don't know what football is, Woody is a banker and the DoF we have in place either doesn't have much say or he also buys into the whole Ole fairytale; which is a whole different worry.
Also feel that Ole has made friends at high places and they have his back. This will get much, much worse. The season will be a write off and we could lose a few key players if we're not in the CL next season, which is a real possibility now.
I would be amazed if this isn’t true but only because it’s bound to be true (not because this joker says so).
Most expensive win in club's history
I think we'll draw that game unless the players are desperate to get ole sacked.
Honest. No other club of our stature would take him so he really has come too far to give up.
Ole the manager is becoming a bit of a cnut.
He looked absolutely broken walking off at full time.
Hard to see how he pulls the situation back under control, not only were we SO bad, it's not an isolated case, you could see this coming a mile off. So it begs the question if Ole had the answers why did we go up against Liverpool with the same line up and tactics that saw us tore to bits in the first half literally 4 days ago?
I can't see it, the pressure created by the result today with the fixtures coming up

What is the reason for waiting so long? Isn’t the club even more after money than us fans? What’s the point for them to wait so long and act kind towards failing managers?
Backing managers too long is arguably our worst trait at this stage
Yep, by now they normally come out with we have confidence in the manager or as such bollocks.
Really? I thought that those are always a rumours
The rumblings would have started now if he was going. They could not keep a lid on LVG and Mourinho's departures. Even Fergie's retirement leaked the night before.
i'm hoping that's just a liverpool fan or someone trying to get promoted by playing the contrarian.
Who am I kidding, it's probably Woodward.
Usually is like clockwork after a bad game or a period of dropped points when media pressure ramps up. Not quite as mechanical as Raiola’s Pogba tweets but it’s close.

A decision based on emotions. We should have stuck to the original caretaker plan and spent that time scouting the next manager.
Thanks for killing my mood before going to bed. Thanks a lot.

Don't mind me, I know nothing, but that was the pattern previously.Yep this.
The radio silence from the inept board will mean that they’re sitting hoping this passes over and they get through another season without doing anything.
People need to understand that they’re not owners who are capable of making normal decisions, and are also toxic and apathetic as a board.
I mean, even if they did sack him they’d probably manage to make some kind of surreal feck up of an appointment anyway - like Steve Bruce or something.
They’re just idiots when it comes to football.
And are also apathetic, dithering owners. They have no interest in building something great at Utd like City’s or Chelsea’s owners.
I’m just hoping that the team can pick itself up for Tottenham, because I guarantee you, Ole will still be at Utd for it.
I guess the decision, and responsibility to deliver the bullet, is still Ed Woodward's, right? Or is he on gardening leave or somesuch?
Phelan the only one who could possibly survive in my opinion.
If Conte came in, they'd all go. That's part of the reason he's not the manager of Spurs.
