In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. 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.

but he has only played 20 seconds in the past 2 seasons!
Would be hilarious if someone like Scott Parker gets overlooked for a guy with 20 seconds worth of action.That would be fecking hillarious.
Oh come Hargreaves hasn't put a foot wrong in all his time on the field this season. He's won every ball that has been there to be won. You can't discount that kind of statistic.
Shocking would be an understatement but, if the guy really is fit - England don't have better player for the role.

It would be a wildcard sorta play... the opposition might struggle to know how to play him, as he hasn't got much on video to study against his technique. (Speaking of the past two years, of course)
Ferguson's head will probably explode.
He would be England's best fk taker imo
Not a bad shout at all.
What about Frank "Oh it takes a deflection and it's in!" Lampard?
Fwank will the penalty taker
Terrible passing percentage though
It was a tackle won by a header, not a pass, so Hargreaves has a 0/0 (=infinity in some circumstances)% passing rate.
Sorry mate, the comment was more of a pisstake, along the lines of the " best performance all season" and the grey area that is the English midfield. Although despite the comments put out today I never thought he would have a chance for south africa
If Hargreaves IS selected, I highly doubt he will play. That is unless England's entire midfield is struck down whilst in SA.
I have doubts about his fitness and match sharpness. You cannot miss competitive football for such a long time and simply turn up at the World Cup. If Hargreaves isn't sharp enough then he shoudnt go. Besides he does owe his club some action rather than his country.
If he's called up it will probably be as a back up, in which case the added training will be good for him.
Let him go, hope he plays and maybe someone else will be conned into buying him after 1 and a half good matches in an international tournament.
We might get a chance at weekend to see exactly how sharp he is.
mcfeckwit with fries please
I think we should hope he gets to SA.
At least you know he is ready to go when next season comes around or you know that his knees cant take more than 2 matches a week.

No. It would be sad
Mcfeckwit strikes again.
Like the last time, he will get the Player of the Tournament award.
Barry will be back for the World Cup anyways
Owen in the WC and United to win the PL
Worth a £1 on that double but only on 1000-1

Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves stormed out of Old Trafford after being left out of the side to face Stoke on Sunday. Hargreaves had hoped to force his way into Capello's squad.
If its true then Hargreaves is an idiot. He should have a bit of trust towards the club who sticked to him in the past 18 months.
Source?
It's in the Sun this morning.
The Sun, I wouldn't worry.
It's from The Sun I assume.
Well that's that settled then.

I love how the entire basis of the story is that he left looking unhappy, even though the club has already said he was feeling unwell. Don't most people look unhappy when they're unwell? I'm sure he was unhappy due to that, and also that he couldn't make the team because somebody (or himself) had decided he wasn't well enough to take part.
Just pure ridiculous speculation designed to get eyes on their bog roll of a newspaper.

Plus last time he came back from injury he admitted later that the comeback had been too soon and too intense - causing his injury to flare up again. I'd have thought he'd want a full pre-season under his belt to get back to full fitness, rather than risking everything to go to the World Cup and maybe play 3 or 4 games.
Besides, I doubt he seriously thought playing 25 minutes against Stoke in a dead rubber was going to win him a place in the world cup squad.

It is strange that Hargreaves not getting in the England squad is the big surprise of the summer.
Some people have strange expectations.

What the feck?
You hardly believe it do you?
I might have guessed. It wasn't one of Custis's scoops was it?
Gerrard/Lamps should do the trick.
