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.
If United win both our games in hand we are 8 points off City with 6 games to go. If United and prime Sir Alex can lose that lead then so can City.
and then corrected myself minutes later?
what an angry little sausage you are. Sorry I don't have much time for questionable gun lovers. Absolutely gutted you think so little of me, nights ruined, kids are crying.Read it again.
Once was enough
Never feed the troll kids.and then corrected myself minutes later?
I think I know City have the best squad.
They’ve wanted out for the last two seasons, they were never about ploughing money in to the team but moreso improving the club’s infrastructure in order to flip us for a profit. What they didn’t take in to account was how much ballache it‘s been trying to take the stadium project forwards in the middle of South London (anyone who’s been to Selhurst will know what I mean) and we haven’t really moved anywhere with it. Utd paid for our new Cat 1 academy rather than H&B, thanks for that.
The number of players out of contract thing is a bit of a red herring as a significant chunk of them are fringe players or high earners who really need to be moved off the wagebill (Mama Sakho, Connor Wickham etc). We just released our accounts and 93% of our turnover went on wages during this Covid period so it’s simply a must for the club in order to make room for more sensible signings and a more sustainable model. Sakho is a prime example, £100k a week and has started 8 games this season. That would pay the wages of two more Ebere Ezes and that’s the way the club is heading; signing younger players with potential. Of the 12 that are out of contract there’s only 4 or 5 I’d actually want to keep.
Unfortunately Roy isn’t the man to oversee that rebuild. For those saying ‘be careful what you wish for’, this is the first time in 17 years I haven’t renewed my season ticket because I’m so bored of it and there’s still a chance Roy will be here. Palace have spent the majority of my life in the Championship so that’s nothing new for me should it happen. I hate watching this team...it’s weak, lacks any kind of excitement, lacks character, doesn’t get in peoples’ faces...all the things I expect of a Palace side regardless of the division. They were walking at various points today. Roy’s record without Wilf is also utterly abysmal so I question who it is that’s actually keeping us up.
Who should come in? Favre would be my ideal appointment as he’s done it at similar sized clubs and is happy to play young players but it’s probably between Dyche and Howe realistically. I think Dyche is more of the same to an extent but his team has a lot more fight than ours, they also mix it up and I’ve seen them play some good stuff at times. Would like to see what Howe could do with the likes of Wilf and Eze but obviously more concerns going the other way with him. There are pros and cons with all three of those but would have all three ahead of Roy. It’s time.

Don't do it...don't set people up like this!
I knew people would be doing this
don’t be ridiculous.One can dream.
Haha anything can happen. Of course it won’t but one can dream!I knew people would be doing this
Think most of us did to be honest. I was really excited when he signed for us but it didn't work out. He did the right thing moving on and we got paid really well for him as well so it was the best thing for everyone. Shame he hasn't recovered though, he was lethal at Villa.
The “non penalty” for the Burnley defender kicking Longstaff in the head emphasises the inconsistencies we see. It’s no different to the Cooper one for Leeds yesterday but ones a red card and a free kick and VAR finds no clear and obvious error on the other.
Joke. VAR needs to go. The experiment has run its course.
No it doesn't and it won't.
Has some shite games in him but ASM is good when he's on form.
Nice turnaround from Newcastle
It's utter shite.
Buy ASM, I cannot stress it enough, just fecking buy him.
Fair bit of a crock isn't he?
Funny this, I mentioned on here the other day that the Palace forum were depressed because of the football despite the results. A lot of this forum seem to think us entertainment moaners are irrational and that our complaints make us "the worse fanbase around".
I keep saying it, people don't just watch and enjoy football for results, they want to see progressive and entertaining football. No disrespect intended but Palace have probably never had it so good in terms of league position and yet you guys are still unhappy. Yet a load of people on here are stunned that United fans who've experienced endless trophies and entertaining football expect to see entertaining football.
You guys should go for Ismael at Barnsley. Dyche would just be a slightly modernised version of Hodgson. What Ismael is doing at Barnsley is miraculous, he played for you too so he'd jump at the chance.
Saint Maxim, aged about 24 and has a 6 year contract, would cost a lot, but does to seem to have a ongoing injury. Great player, strong big and skilful, SBS.
Asm is brilliant to watch when on it
You are misdirecting your disdain to var, when it should be to those that write the rules and "interpretations".
I'd disagree with that, I've watched a lot of Newcastle matches in full over the last two seasons and he's always the best player when he plays.
I rate him that highly I'd make him our number one transfer target. Whichever top team eventually gets him will have a great player on their hands.
He was shite for ages before he was out with covid
He wasn't. Newcastle picked up most of their points before he got covid.
Hope Lingardinho runs absolutely wild once again today.
Nah, the concept is antithical to football.
So you wouldn't mind having title deciders scored from blatant offsides like Drogba against us then?
He was, my mate at work is a Newcastle fan and was moaning about him for ages saying they should take the money and run and he clearly wasn't alone

This minute's silence for Prince Philip thing is embarrassing, have any of the people at these clubs even met the bloke? I thought it was a bit weird for Maradona but at least he was actually a footballer.
Minute's silence for a big old racist followed by taking the knee against racism. The mind boggles sometimes.
Nothing major against Philip, it's just that his death is none of football's business and the message it sends is bizarre.

Instead you'll have a title decider declared offside when it was onside by two blokes in a shed two hundred miles away. #progress
Any of the millimeter offsides would be 50/50 called either way if there was no VAR. And by the current rules, they are offsides. So again, you should complain about the offside rules, not the tech.
Sorry, have you not seem the utter lunacy this weekend?
1 in 17 for Vardy. That's mental. Father Time finally catching up.
I guess it's subjective, I watched most of their matches before he was out and he was always good to me. Dribbled well, good passes, good touch. The numbers bits in that article don't really mean much for Newcastle, his numbers for them as well as the team in general have always been poor as he's defending in his own half most of the time.
I think if you ask 95% of Newcastle fans they'll say he's their best player by some margin and has been for the last 2 years.
What Utd for the academy thing?
