In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Please, no. I had the fecking time of my life in the summer of 2015 when watching the Copa. South American referees are absolutely hilarious.Trust me european refs are bad all around. We should start signing refs from South America
And it has to come in the season which the top 6 is at its most competitive.
Can someone remind me why there's no PL fixtures next weekend? Why are they all the following Tuesday/Wednesday?
Yes he was offside but it's a really close decision. As the ball is played he darts back to appear onside so we're talking fractions of a second, and they are told to give the attackers the benefit of doubt.
They go to Chelsea at the beginning of February, so Chelsea need to beat them. Chelsea also need to make sure they beat Liverpool away the game before. It will kill it off.
FA cup
Don't worry, we are not catching Chelsea
Arsenal just seem to have this incredible resilience in doing whatever it takes to qualify for the next season's Champions League.
Stark contrast to what they actually do during the current season's.

Would guess FA Cup weekend.
Uninspiring sunday of football.
Will watch the Chelsea match until they score the first one.

Tell Ty on Arsenal TV that. I am sure he still thinks they can.Don't worry, we are not catching Chelsea
League position aside, we are a better side as well. Completely dominated them at old Trafford.
They're fecking shit. Chelsea, Liverpool & City are all better sides.
Ah of course, thanks.
This is easily one of the worst Arsenal sides I've seen in the last 15 years. You'd have to think their luck will run out eventually.
No way. No one isDon't worry, we are not catching Chelsea
Hope so.
City have a better squad, but they don't have a functional first eleven. Liverpool are defensively suspect. Arsenal just know how to beat the inferior sides, that's why they always finish in the top four.

They scored late against Leicester last season and it meant f all in terms of the title. Hence why I said you'd think they would push on....but they never learn from past errors.
They got lucky today but they tend to run out of steam in March and April, so Chelsea shouldn't worry. But given the circumstances (Wenger's last season, contract sagas), it may work to their advantage.
I actually think Chelsea could be clawed back....it may all depend on the Anfield game.
It will when CL comes back round and they have their annual dip.
Those are hard to call when the offside player is moving back towards being onside as the ball is played. I sympathise with linesmen for those calls, they are the most difficult in real time. Video technology surely can't be far away. Offside is so often wrongly called, or not called when a player is offside. Officiating is just a guessing game for a lot of decisions.
Ars penalty decision - how many times this season?
Yeah, will do the same.
Its rare alright but I remember a ref giving a goal against City despite the fact the linesman's flag was up think it was last season. he was right too and the linesman was wrong. But yeah, yesterdays decision with Walker was more on the linesman too. I think officials should be punished as a team.
How the hell do you concede a penalty in extra time while playing with 1 man more, after having forced a penalty yourself in extra time to make it 1-1? Fecking Burnley man
This is, on the contrary, one of the more effective Arsenal sides. They know how to grind results like they did against us, Swansea and are way more clinical and ruthless against the weaker sides. That being said, they won't win the league but top 4 is given for them
If we had got that penalty in the 97th minute, there would be a national outcry and a government enquiry.
fecking get in. That was a jumping up and down, hug the stranger next to you type of game. Absolutely loved it. No idea if they were penalties, don't care now. Looking forward to seeing what Wenger got sent off for.
I don't want to complain but we got nothing when our player was actually hit

Penalty not given to Leicester for foul by Bellerin, soft penalty against Southampton, penalty not given for foul on Valencia in our match and two winners against Burnley which should not have stood and there are a few more too which I can't recall. So many refereeing decisions have gone in their favour this season. I can't think of any refereeing decisions which have gone against them which have cost them points this season. They have been the worst team out of all the top 6. Surely their luck has to run out soon.
Its a penalty to Arsenal given the offside is missed. But that offside should not be missed at all. The linesman is in perfect position to see it, hes in line, the arsenal player is on his side so he should have no obstructions.
Once again, officials dictating the result of a game by being inept.

By getting dodgy 98th penalties? That's one hell of a game plan!
Going to wack a bet on Arsenal to finish outside the top 4. They are crap and their luck will run out soon.
So are the european ones. So what's left? Penguins from Antarctica?
Nevermind VAR, what we need are robot-refs
Arsenal got lucky again?
Exactly. It's just a good win to cement the top four.
Jeez! the reactions in here are hilarious but what a game of football. Smashing!
You didn't see a clear penalty over Mustafi earlier on? It would've killed the match much earlier, but I guess we were just being lucky when the ref didn't see it...
So what is that, the fourth time the officials have gifted Arsenal a win in stoppage time this season?
The English colour commentator said 'he has a right to challenge for the ball there'! Yeah fine but not by kicking someone in the face.
