Premier League holiday fixtures (Mon 26 Dec - Wed 4 Jan)

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?
I agree its a straight fight but in the same way we aren't looking in the teams in 7th and 8th the teams in the top four aren't looking back at us when the title is still possible.
I don't disagree with anything you say. I disagree that teams are looking backwards though. If you aren't at the top the only way you should be looking is forwards. If you let that anxiety creep in to your game you're doomed.
Yep, but can't next round of matches
We'll see, but personally I just don't think Arsenal or Liverpool really believe they'll be winning anything, and I am of a mind that it is Arsenal, and more so Liverpool who we are chasing, and if we can just claw ourselves a bit closer then they'll really be sweating, overtaking Spurs can wait, and using them as a way to pressure those above could be helpful for now.
Obviously we aren't looking back at 7 th or 8 th paced teams as those positions are as irrelevant as 5th and 6th.
So if hes sent him off, its for the intentional pull right? Which should have meant free kick.
The trip in the box looks unintentional, but I think it was a penalty.
TBH, I think it should have been a penalty and yellow. Not sure how ref gave both though. Its a Mike Dean world and we all live in it.

Your jinx worked well.
Free kick about 30 yards out and Redmond getting a yellow is no doubt what we would have got if we were the attacking team...
Your jinx worked well.

Liverpool - City should be good. When is Coutinho back for Liverpool?
The United game is the most realistic one.
Good chance I'm already too pissed to remember we're even playing.. Our game should've been played today or on New Year's Day, not on fecking New Year's Eve
That happened to me (again) on Boxing Day. I watched the whole match, but 17:00 is way too late to be sober on a Monday. Had to re-watch the game later.Good chance I'm already too pissed to remember we're even playing.. Our game should've been played today or on New Year's Day, not on fecking New Year's Eve
Who on earth has time to watch football at 5.30 on New Year's Eve? Poor scheduling for such a big game.
Just re-watched the Spurs game highlights and Southampton's keeper was terrible.

This game 
Enner Valencia 
It's 1 am here. Match gonna be worth watching?
Why the feck did they buy Enner Valencia? One of the worst players in the league.
Good start by Hull. But they are still gonna lose in the end
God, Everton are really shit. 1-0 Dawson.
If only our boys could defend like Phil Jagielka.
So many reasons to support Hull here and hope Everton get fecking smashed.
everton have the best fullbacks......of 2013
Great save by Marshall, really volleyball style
Off the post. Good, open game.
Think the Liverpool - City game should be a cracker tomorrow. Quite disappointed that I'll miss it.
Unlucky Coleman. He hits the post.
This is so true
Been saying it all season; Hull aren't gonna relegate
Koeman looks like that pig from the Muppets.
I might have to miss the Liverpool much as well, such fecking stupid scheduling. If anything I would have preferred the game even being on tonight instead of NYE at half five. Annoying to say the least, this game isn't bad but Liverpool vs City would have fitted well.
Oh they will. Cant see who gets dragged in now that Palace have Sam
Could have been 2-0 to Hull if Mbokani had headed it better.
Barry not that wide. Everton are coming into life.
