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?

Giggs is going to be with SAF. Press hoping Ronaldo comes along with Jose.
2pm is a bit late isn't it for usual?
Fergie usually brings a player that will be starting doesn't he? He was rested against Norwich....
Would love to hear from Ronaldo before the game but Jose will probably bring someone boring with him. Probably Arbeloa.
This is a UEFA press conference, there will be journos from all over the world there, so different rules and they have to stick to the schedule time, and Fergie can't ban any journos from attending!
In his league pressers, he can basically call them when he wants, he chooses to do it 9am on Fridays usually.
Arbeloa or Alonso probably because they speak English and have played at OT many times.
All signs are pointing towards that.
Although, it was either last season or the season before where most players brought along for the presser didn't end up starting the game.
Interesting, thanks for that... Let's hope for some positive news
What will the press conference be broadcast on?
Any rivers to be had?

Cry me a river please.
Same (if there's some flowing about).
Please + Thank you.

Been searching but I can't seem to find anything.
Says he hasn't decided whether to start Giggs or not.

Sir Alex says Phil Jones is not fit for tomorrow.

SAF on Giggs:"we always like to keep him fresh.He'll be involved at some point, starting or from the bench-I haven't made my mind up.

Great news that he is fit then
you really don't ever know with SAFGreat news that he is fit then
Heh I bet SAF has made up his mind on Giggs already.
Great news that he is fit then
also:
Fergie: "Defence won't be key to the game...we need to make sure we have an attacking threat..."
I know Fergie lies, but I don't think he's bluffing this time. Supporting the fact Jones wasn't seen training this morning (or during the weekend), I doubt we'll just let him train for the first time this afternoon when the game is tomorrow. If Jones suffers a setback, Fergie will have to change his tactics a bit which is something I don't think Fergie will want.
Saying that, I think he is bluffing when it comes to the Giggs decision. He definitely knows whether or not he'll start him - he's just giving Madrid something to think about.

Sir Alex: "I think there will be goals tomorrow - we have to believe we can score more than them."
As much as I love the form Giggs is in, I'd rather he doesn't start this. We have some young, talented players that are also in form and raring to go. Giggs should be used from the bench if needed.
River me up
Jones was missing from the open session, so it's still possible Fergie could be bluffing.
If not, he'll have worked on a contingency.
Wonder if we'll see a repeat this evening?
Who is this mug reporter saying that pathetic line:
"Their goalkeeper for example probably made the best two saves of the night."
What a fecking muppet. How did Lopez make the best two saves of the night? Absolute tit.

Calm down lad, it's not that big of a deal.
Fergie says "fatter" Ronaldo at his peak was better.
He was getting it spot on, then pauses, deep breath, and lies about his frontline. Classic Mourinho
I guess Giggs would likely be playing in midfield. Given the kind of game this is and the opposition, I'd certainly start with him. I think he's more disciplined with defensive tasks and more composed in offense than our other midfielders bar Carrick. Plus the form he's in makes it a no brainer for me.
Oh no, you don't want to present Ronaldo with a challenge, do you?
It's not a big deal, but you wonder how people like this are employed and allowed to sit and ask questions at conferences like this when they're spouting showers of shite. De Gea made some sensational saves on the night, none of Lopez's saves came anywhere close to a few of them. Not sure if it's more De Gea hate from the media or just a brainless reporter.
Any chance of a précis?
0-0 it is then.
Could be a lively one today.
When is it? 4 hours from now?
Doubt he will talk about Real match. It's gone, time to move on.
Yeah can't see him getting into it. He'll emphasise focus, wanting to win the cup, reacting well etc. Be short n sweet probably
Press is likely to ask about it so it will be mentioned. I'll expect him to either look to focus on it or brush it aside. Can't see him going the middle ground
