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?
It's what they do. It's what we need to do, but not sure this bunch of players can. So is it build a mainly new team, or is it how they are coached.
Cringenko
Arteta will looks a bit silly if they don't actually win this game.
They will. He still looks silly though.
Odegaard scores.
Ødegaard 1-0.
Nice when someone just hits it first time. That is confidence.
They've probably watched us play and realised top 5 is in the bag.
"He has never won a trophy"
Copa del Rey is not a trophy?

The deliberateness of Arsenals high press is, well, impressive.
Remember when Chelsea v. Manchester United was the blockbuster game?
Like watching paint dry this Brighton game. Lots of possession with nothing to show for it
Watching him makes me remember what a real 10 plays like.
Sky Sports just described the Etihad as “the cauldron” and I haven’t stopped laughing since.
Why is Arteta consistently allowed to leave his coaching area without any punishment?
Nelson makes it 2-0. Is it an OG.
There's been a nice move by White and another goal while you were observing a manager on the touchline
Yeah.
I always thought he's more an 8 than a 10, no?
Lovely deflection to not have to engage with the question.
Crazy injury list Villa seem to have
Wonder if Smith-Rowe will still be at Arsenal next season? I remember how good he was when he 'burst onto the scene'. Nowadays, he doesn't play much. At 23, he probably needs to try and find a club where he can play regularly, where he can hopefully resurrect the form he showed when he broke through.
Refs clamping down on the pulling on corners. A few Var checks recently with them
Why should he be punished for something all managers do?
He is. Plays on the right side of centre midfield in a 433, but he roams around. Superb player!
Yeah, he's a brilliant little player. When they bought him I was desperately hoping he'd be another overhyped kid that flopped at a big club, but turns out he's great.
It's so sad that I'm watching City vs Villa wanting City to win.
Obviously I want Arsenal to win the EPL (can't believe I said that) but if they don't win it, then it has to be City.
I actually can't believe it's come to this.

Did a ref just stick with decision and ignore VAR referral?
Even if it were true that all managers did this on occasion, there is a demonstrable difference between that and the repeated instances that happens with Arteta every game.
The only reason to ignore this is if, as an Arsenal fan, it's simply inconvenient.
So Brentford have 31 goal attempts vrs United and only 3 so far vrs Brighton.
We are doing something very wrong.

1-0 Rodri
We lead!
You must be a detective.
Why are Villa playing such a weakened team, just turned on. League in the gutter, zero integrity
They say that check for city was a tight call yet it took few seconds to give it onside. Whenever we have tight decisions it takes a few minutes
Feck him, but Rodri is brilliant.
