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.

So no need to quote Sir Alex here?? No, it's you people that know better..
Played only 192 matches in these 7 years as well.
Thanks the Lord for that. Imagine having to endure him every week.Played only 192 matches in these 7 years as well.
Let's sell Blind but keep the most disaster prone defender in the club.
Who cares what Ferguson said about Jones? It's turned out he was wrong.
He is still here because Sir Alex said so. He is Duncan Edwards reincarnation. Remember that lad
Phil Jones is a class defender. He has great positioning, is strong in the air, when he makes a mistake he usually recovers quite well, is a ball playing CB, and can even score a goal or two. He is now entering his best years, so injuries should improve.
We will accept any offer for her m.

Can't wait to watch him with Smalling next season
Just think, he was on the way to Anfield when we called and he spun the car round on the motorway. Disastrous decision
He simply isn't good enough and that's been clear for a while. No good being solid for 8/10 games and then making a couple of mistakes.
Amazing. The fact he can't even get into a team ahead of Stones and Maguire who themselves weren't good enough says it all really.
He's a free loader. One of those players just happy to be here. Transfer list him ffs!
Don't get why the club can't get rid. When is his contract up btw?
Can United please offer Jones plus money to Leicester City for Harry Maguire.
It's a bloody insult to Duncan Edwards to have this clown mentioned with him.
Fergie was the best manager ever but that doesn't mean he was never wrong. Jones has shown more than enough to demonstrate that he isn't good enough and will likely never be good enough. The fact that Fergie believed he had a bright future 6 years ago doesn't change that.
Next summer. But we've got an option for 1 more I believe
Bringing quotes from Scholes thread, here is what the greats said about Phil Jones:
Phil Jones is just awful. Simple as that. Not a Vidic or Ferdinand therefore not good enough.
Still 26. We can get a decent fee for him. Should be able to fetch £20m from one of the mid table suckers.
He will do well for a team under no pressure. It is pressure that scrambles his brain.
Not even a PL club will give us £20m for someone with his injury record.
Our CBs situation reminds me of the GK department a few years back. We had Carroll and Foster there and while not being shite they were not Manchester United level and therefore prone to commit mistakes. During the time we were trapped into a loop were we would play one, he'll do well for a couple of mistakes, then he commits a silly mistakes only to be replaced by the other. We're trapped in the same frigging loop with Rojo, Smalling and Jones.
In my opinion any 26 years + CB who can't be consistent week in week out should be sold. Its pointless keeping a 26+ defender who still plays like some enthusiastic 18 year old. We might as well replace him with an 18 year old, who tend to be stronger, faster, with more fuel left in the tank to do the donkey work and with some potential to mature and become a great defender instead.
TBH SAF had made some silly comparisons in the past likening Wallwork with Bruce and Dong with Batistuta.
I don't blame SAF on this. He got one of the most promising defenders at United and he simply didn't developed to the CB we needed. I do blame the rest for keeping him here. He's clearly not good enough.
Just few more years to get testimonial match. Please hang on Jones. Ffs
Poch is now doing the silly comparisons at Spurs.
ah yeah we're at the phil jones is fecking awful and a utter fraud stage, until he has one decent game and the thread turns around.
Yep, ludicrous overreactions on here, about a game England were only half interested in, with Jones in particular facing an absolutely no win situation
Definitely needs white text here.
He's good enough against most of the teams we face in a season but in the big matches we'd want a better CB. Should be backup/competing for a spot.
this. He's a 2 good games 1 bad game sort of player. Is that good enough for us?
Its almost as if disaster prone defenders that spend half the season on the treatment table are difficult to move on
He's completely mediocre.
It's a huge sign a player's talent when you see the level of club interested in them once they eventually get forced out of OT. Jones will garner attention from mid-table teams like West Ham, Everton and Palace.....and we wonder why we're so far behind City. Our squad has way too many mid-table level players making way too many appearances in the starting 11.
Ship him out this summer while he's actually fit. We might raise £15-20m in this market.

Thanks. After seven years with constant injuries it's not worth the hassle.
He has 40 odd appearances for England at 26. Reckon we could easily get £20m regardless of his injury record. The market is crazy. Jay Rodriguez regularly goes for 10+ despite spending an eternity on the treatment table.
What SAF saw in him I'll never know. He's a calamity.
Not really, a turd is a turd. So because it’s a game we’re only half interested in he decides to not care as much and just let hazard by? Whatever way you sell it he’s not the sort of player United needs.
