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?
Bad luck mate.@Random Task
That's why fans of clubs playing are always way more nervous than neutrals watching.
Good win for Spurs in circumstances.
For what it's worth, I thought the Villa players tired themselves out more than Spurs raised their game.
Made him my captain for the week... didnt believe in the 'cant score in August' thing.
How Spurs manage to make a player out of Sissoko is praiseworthy
Spurs have arrived.
FFS. People who mock opponents while they're losing should just wait till the end of the fecking game. Stop jinxing it.
Well done Spurs. Want them to have a slim chance of beating Liverpool or City to the league so they really can't afford to drop too many points, especially at home.
Urgh spurs have some depth don’t they, even with them three in the stands and Son who’s banned. Eriksen feck off to Madrid please!
Should have gone all out for Kane instead of Lukaku 2 years ago.
Can't speak about Norwich but Villa have been great defending for most of the game to be fair. We are just not capable of turning the screws like Liverpool or Spurs (or us under SAF) used toIsn't it amazing the shocking defending Liverpool and Spurs have faced but those kind of teams always seem to defend like champions against us
Crazy that people still believe that this is actually a thing.Isn't it amazing the shocking defending Liverpool and Spurs have faced but those kind of teams always seem to defend like champions against us
No chance. The only way to get him was when he was still playing for their U23s
We’re just not good at breaking teams down like Liverpool and Spurs are.Isn't it amazing the shocking defending Liverpool and Spurs have faced but those kind of teams always seem to defend like champions against us
This is basically it. We haven't been ruthless enough over the last few seasons. I'm hoping that this will improve and we can turn pressure into goals.
Did Villa have a single touch in the final third that whole second half? What a woeful performance from them after halftime.
There was a stat earlier in the game that they've come back from losing positions more than any other PL side under Poch. Its to do with their conditioning I believe.
Sort of game spurs would have lost or drawn last season.
Would never have got him.
Yeah but it's been easy for them to defend against us. Pochettino should listen to people on here and drop Harry Kane, we would have won much more easily then.
If you have a striker like Kane, you will do well.
Top of the table shaping up already.
Eriksen changed the game.
Not too downhearted by that.
Competed well for 60 minutes and then flagged.
We have Bournemouth and Palace in next 3 games so those are obviously going to be games where we need to pick up points.
Spurs are a very good premier league side these days.

I think we have two domestic cup competitions whereas most of the other leagues have one.Why does the premier league season start so early compared to the rest of europe?
Kane’s on a mission this season, you mark my words. He looks in great shape. Avoid injury and the golden boot is a stone wall banker.
Add in scoring 3 goals away in 30 minutes in a champions league semi final aswell.
No mention of Douglas Luiz rocking a classic Abel Xavier barnet?
No its not. That was the sort of game they won last season. Happened a load of times.
Hell, they only had a couple of draws.
They spent £30mil on him; he’s not some nobody they picked up down the park.
Me too. Got Sterling aswell.
Spurs well in the title race. Hope they won't Spurs it.
Eh? Don't see it at all, I've been impressed today after a quiet pre season.
Both Liverpool and Spurs looked average in their games this weekend.
Liverpool had to rely on shocking defending from Norwich to score their goals and Spurs had to wait for Villa to tire themselves out before taking control of the game. Unimpressive both.
City were as dominant as ever. The title will be staying in Manchester - the blue half, unfortunately.

He's trying to be positive, not always passing sideways or back. First game in the PL, I will sure as shit take the performance.
Let Celso, Eriksen, Son, Kane, Ndombele. They are nailed on for top four.
I think we controlled most of the game just couldn't break them down, they tired and we took advantage. Not champagne football but we came back from a goal down, heads didn't drop.
In what way was Ndombele impressive, or any Spurs player for that matter.
(Walker-Peters looked good though)
It's opening game, that's a lot of conclusions to draw on that basis.
We still have 2 players to integrate and others like Son to come back.
