Giroud scored and had two assist but still managed to embarass himself at least three times. That failed "scorpio pass" when he almost injured himself, failed bicycle kick and that terrible celebrations.

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?
Table before Spurs vs Chelsea
Liverpool only 5 ahead. We will reel them all in. 2nd is very doable.
Swansea just won a game under Clement. Arsenal go there next.
Damn that table looks much better than a few months ago.
It's a very Arsenal game that.
They've done just enough to avoid total disaster but it's still a poor result really.

Half a mind to root for Spurs tomorrow.
Did they? He was in the stands to start with, and then ended up in the dugout at HT after they were one up... I don't understand if he was managing them today or not
Strange.Howe is literally mini Wenger, can get the lads playing lovely football, but then can completely bottle a game he is completely in control of.
We've been here before under Moyes. Every time there was an opening we'd drop points. Time to see if the current squad can keep up the pace.
That is weird. Some managers do that, though. Wasn't it Pearson who always watched the first half from the stands?Did they? He was in the stands to start with, and then ended up in the dugout at HT after they were one up... I don't understand if he was managing them today or not
Howe is literally mini Wenger, can get the lads playing lovely football, but then can completely bottle a game he is completely in control of.
Yeah, but all the talk was that other fella was still in charge for this match, as with most appointments the new manager usually watches their first game as just a spectator. Just seemed totally surreal to me, watching him walk to the dugout at HT he looked like he wasn't sure if he was allowed
So many twists and turns these two game weeks. Dropped points by three of the top four teams and hell even Swansea won.
One thing never changed though: Utd are still sixth.

In too many.
Surely there is some kind of paperwork to say who is allowed in the dugout which probably stops a lot of newly announced managers being there so soon?
Is it a 'stunning comeback' if Arsenal only drew? Fair enough 3-0 to 3-3 is amazing but surely it's only a comeback if you win?!
I wish you wouldn't do this right before we go to Old Trafford. They're a lot closer than they were.So many twists and turns these two game weeks. Dropped points by three of the top four teams and hell even Swansea won.

Come on, go with populism for once in your life

This is a bit weird. Don't know what to make of it to be honest
If form guide is anything I'm already geared to losing that. But Utd's winning run will come to an end just as Chelsea's at some point.
Such a tasking game for the Arse, they'll be so knackered after this that any half decent team will be able to do them in next, especially if the play within the next 3 days
No. Came back from the dead to snatch a point...
did you see the poll?Come on, go with populism for once in your life
So it was already planned?
This is more intriguing than the Arsenal game.Great week for us so far. Liverpool, Arsenal both dropped points with Spurs/Chelsea to come tomorrow.
It is weird...bit like JT. I'll wear my kit and be sat behind the bench even if I'm not in the match day squad then if we win, I'll comedown and celebrate in my kit knowing I did feck all to contribute.
Especially this year, we are not to take the polls seriously
The game would have been prepped by the caretaker manager so not much Clement could do. He might have gone in at HT to give a bit of motivation speech but not enough time to get involved tactically or personnel wise so what he says makes sense.
Yeah it's a bit of a daft statement. Positions don't mean anything in January
You had a 10 point lead on us in game week 13, it's now 5 and you come to Old Trafford at the start of a very tough 10 games.
We were 3-0 down at Stamford Bridge 4-5 seasons ago and we scored 3 in space of 20 mins to draw the game and it was lauded as a great comeback. So this shouldn't be any different, they were getting battered and still salvaged a point.
And a whole lot closer with loads of games left.So many twists and turns these two game weeks. Dropped points by three of the top four teams and hell even Swansea won.
One thing never changed though: Utd are still sixth.
What's happened to Watford?, 6 defeats in 8 now
Would've liked Arsenal to lose but Eddie Howe can still feck off for breaking the magicians code as far as I'm concerned so I'm fine with a draw
I don't understand this line of thinking at all. They've been coming back and drawing/winning games late on for atleast 3-4 years now and every hear you read about how it's a turning point and how they're much stronger mentally now but it's always the same.
Arsenal away to Swansea suddenly looks a little trickier. Only a little, but could be enough to make the difference.
Draw. Don't worry.
Never done in such a bizarre way, tbf. I only remember a 2-2 against Everton away in 2014 in only 5 minutes.
Leicester last season when you were gonna win the league?
The game against Liverpool is so massive now. If we don't win that game I feel like a lot of our current confidence will be crushed. A win, however, will make us feel unstoppable, and will bring us right in the mix again.
