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.
He shold be dropped. It's hard to depend on idiots.
That faul on penalty was ridiculous, he will be dropped mark my words.
But it wont matter, they will still be boring even if Aurier is replaced.
Spurs, from top to 5th in a few days.
Hate seeing offsides called like that.
Why? He's right, Doherty was bought for a reason, then Aurier upped his game, he is still prone to brain farts.
Saying “they’ve gone all Spursy again” made me laugh..
I’m so confused the lines looked like it showed he was played on by auriers left foot
What's actually happened to Matt Doherty. I know he's better as RWB but he was starting regularly early part of the season in the league.
Maddison scores - var say nope
His arm was offside unfortunately. Was a brilliant goal. Cost me fantasy points for the Justin assist
VAR is the only reason they are losing in the first place.
How was that offside. 
Worst offside call yet, imo. Absolute rubbish.
Get-out-of-jail card that is VAR!
Clear and Obvious shouldnt apply to offside which isn't interpreting the rules, right?Clear and obvious
Yeah nearly pissed myself with that
.His shoulder was offside you could see it straight away
The video actually showed Maddison was not offside. Hilarious, but really sad. The whole point of VAR is to get it right.
Shouldn't that be a yellow for Son?
His feet were onside but it appears a mm of his shoulder was off- although it looked like the line was drawn from Maddison’s hand
Wink and Sissoko? Also, you missed the point where Jose wanted Dier at United to play him as a CDM.
I thought you couldn't be offside by the hands/arm
There you see the good and ugly side of var. Good spot on the penalty but when you see offsides given for that Madison goal, it's just fecking ridiculous
Dotherty had COVID and to be fair Aurier looked pretty good, he's just so reckless.
Me too. Devastated isn't the word.
amazing how many times Spurs get bailed out by VAR in critical moments.
Back when they beat city with the help of VAR in the champion league tie, its like they can count on VAR to help them out

You can score with the shoulder so you can be offside with it. I believe its around the shirt line its stops counting same as handball rule.
That is not offside what I can see. The line where Alderwierled is, is putting Maddison onside. Or am I seeing it wrong?
Edit: I was wrong
Aurier was clearly playing him onside.
I really don't get what your going on about, I don't care why Jose wanted Dier for at United, why would I? He's shit at DM, and you think Wink(S) and Sissoko are DMs?
You are correct. A horror understanding of the Laws by the referees involved.
Such a tight season Spurs could go from level with Liverpool at the top to 7th when the number of matches played evens up if they lose here.
If you look at the VAR, at the point they measured where his arm was, the ball was already in motion. The whole thing is ridiculous.
Ah I see it's just the way the line was drawn it seemed like they were starting at the hand
Looks like they had it drawn from the hand/lower arm innit?
That is right. It is definitely spoiling football as a spectacle. No one knows whether to celebrate a goal anymore.
Surely with the arm thing it should be looked at how the goal is scored. Example if a cross is swung in then a player can miss a header and it hits his shoulder and still goes on so you can have narrow offsides calls for that situation.
With the one Maddison scored there he's not going to lie down on the ground and shoulder it in is he. For goals scored with the foot offside should simply be judged on where the feet are when ball is played. That could be one way of changing the intepretation a little.

VAR for offside should be done from the feet, or head. Not the bloody arm.
I can’t complain too much, as we got one against Son last season if I remember right, which I thought was harsh on Spurs at the time.

Spurs being gassed up because Mourinho said a few fun things in a press conference. Normal service to be resumed.
Also great to see Bale wandering around the pitch like he's looking for a stray golf ball.
