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.
Ian Wright not happy.
Toney's hold up and movement is fecking class. Don't know if he'll get the chances to hit significant scoring numbers this season but he's a very good player.
We used to fear them because they had: Vieria,Henry,Pires,Reyes, Edu,Bergkamp,Cole,Keown etc. Even players who wouldn't have got into our squad back then( Parlour,Ljungberg would walk into this squad
Be nice if Brentford hold on, nothing like an opening day upset.
it's not only that - the way he was fooled by Mbeumo - that is not allowed if you cost £50 million. Of course it's his first game and he lacks experience - but he must improve
43 GA in 48 games last season. Impressive.
I think it's going to be a challenging start for White purely because there are no leaders or organisation within that side. Who is he supposed to look to that sets the standard, that communicates and organises? Realistically, he'll probably have to develop into that player himself. It's a big ask from playing second fiddle to Dunk to having to play under more pressure, with a price tag over his head in a side expected to win.
Contradicting statements...Good thing Chelsea didn't get him, he's exactly the type of profile Tuchel was looking for
So all Prem stadiums can hit full capacity now? No matter what part of the country it is? We're fully back like?
They're at a very important point I feel. City and Chelsea have now joined ourselves and Liverpool as the most popular teams in England. They have 2 problems.
1. They've been a meme for a while, have gone through the "youth set up" faze and have only continued to slide. Even at their worst stage in the Wenger years 2013 to 2017, they still had some star power that could generate even a little attention. Right now they don't have anyone.
2. They never did well in Europe even when they had strong teams. That history and pedigree is what has always separated the liverpools from the Valencia's.
They don't have the money, the history or star power to generate real interest. We are getting to a stage where they'll stop being a meme and might actually be mid table.
Chambers is a torrid sight
This games feel like midtable game. Boring
They are a mid-table side now as far as I'm concerned. There's nothing that would give you any reason to believe they can get back towards the top of the league.
Both are sick
Arsenal much improved 2nd half
Smith-Rowe needs to pull up his socks. He's no Grealish.
Smith Rowe chance
He's doing well so far this half
Pepe is such a dude, biggest waste of £70m+.
Most if not all this squad he's either signed, given new deals or convinced to stay.
They still have Elneny?!?!
A bigger stadium makes teams better apparently.
Brentford's keeper looks like he's kicking into a 75mph wind gust.
Its a joke at this point
Smith Rowe is the best player on that pitch by a country mile....sticks out like a sore thumb right now amongst mediocrity
Ivan Toney looks fecking class. He's been toying with Ben White, will not be the first CB that will struggle against him.
Lille saw Arsenal coming with that Pepe deal
Classy from Brentford
Awe Saka is so cute
That's good from Brentford fans. Classy.
Ivan Toney is so good, he is everywhere.
Brentford look knackered now. Backs to the wall job from now on I feel.
Very impressed with Brentford fans giving Saka a standing ovation. Classy gesture
Arsenal are on top here but not exactly turning the screw in a sense that it’s only a matter of time.
I don't know why everyone is so impressed with the Brentford fans, you can hear a fair few booing Saka and doing monkey noises as well.
Cute sports bra on Sorensen.
