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.
Perhaps you can criticise MS for charging people to play an online game which is free.

They're working on it. Keep up dude.
‘Working on it’. How long have these free to play games been out?
Maybe you should be more concerned about how people on redcafe are getting hacked on PSN again.
They should have two factor authentication turned on.
Some people don’t follow or read up on that stuff. What’s your message for them?
Very disappointing you are blaming the victims, when it’s the shoddy PSN network. Also what’s with the spamming messages from bots wanting you to see their webcams or telling you in Arabic to buy cheap games. PSN is out of control and you have not called them out on it. The inmates run the asylum it feels like.
Yeah the spam messages are annoying. I’ve had a few and tend to just report them, though I’d expect Sony to do a better job with controlling that. But they’re not charging me to play free games like MS so I’ll not be too critical.
They have sold your data to spammers, who could be serial killers. They know where you live. Are you not scared?
PSN charges for your cloud saves, where as Xbox doesn’t. So where’s your critique of that? I am waiting.
Cloud saving should be free.
So why don’t you tell Sony that?
And you conveniently forgot about how serial killers have your PSN info. They know what you playing. They know when you playing. They know who you playing with. Are you happy about this?
Bizarre. Surely they knew they'd receive a backlash so if that's all that was required to reverse the decision why bother. Like I said, it doesn't seem in line with everything else they are doing or Spencer's plan - so I wonder if it was shareholder/board pressure.
Anyway, good to see they listened and net positive when you consider them making f2p games - free to play. About time.
They'll have some ongoing negative sentiment though regardless of the reversal.

You shouldn’t blame them for not knowing the tricks
If they were so consumer friendly, they wouldn't have announced the hike to begin with - same with the DRM thing in 2013 they also ended up reversing quick due to the backlash.
The fact they had so many cards printed off already with the new price shows how out of touch they are.
Also, remember MS had it so you had to pay to play F2P games for nigh on 15 years.someone on ResetEra said:
People still sing their praises after nearly 10 years with a handful of decent first party games, its a waste of time trying to have a reasonable conversation.
Great post you should post more often.
Sounds like an argument you could make against United and we all know how fallacious that would be.
Are you talking about Sony here?
Sounds like the best thing about the ps5, the controller, is fecked 
So many people having issues

Build quality on PS4 controller was shocking.Sounds like the best thing about the ps5, the controller, is fecked

Disappointing if they haven’t improved that considering they charging £60 for it @esmufc07.
For one, it’s not the be all and end all of the console like your controller. Secondly, its an easy fix that won’t require sending your controller off for weeks
Don’t need to send it in for repair. That’s a minor issue compared to your controller not working at all and RT button loose.
I have not had the above issue and spent around 60 hours on it so far. @Alock1 @VeevaVee @Vidyoyo @Mr Anderson any of you had the above issue?
To be fair, I did have an issue with this. Had to restart the console a few times but it presented me with a chance to get up and make a cup of tea. Thank you Microsoft
Sorry you had to deal with this mateTo be fair, I did have an issue with this. Had to restart the console a few times but it presented me with a chance to get up and make a cup of tea. Thank you Microsoft
No but I do have an issue where if I turn the Xbox off with my steel series still turned on and connected, the Xbox turns back on and the controller and headset can't sync to it. I have to unplug the console to get them to resync which is really fecking annoying.
Seems to be an issue with the headset, but it is meant to be certified to work with series X. And if I just turned the headset off first it wouldn't keep happening to me, but I can't get out of the habit.
If it’s an easy fix why hasn’t it been fixed?
Is your PS5 loud?
Steelseries wireless headsets aren’t great to be honest. They always have connectivity issues. I had to send my 7x back and got a wired Pro set instead.
I use my elite 2 only so no idea

That actually looks less ugly than just the plain white

Xbox Series X/S ‘most successful in Microsoft’s history’ as Games Pass hits 18 million subs
The Xbox Series X and S may not have sold more consoles than the PS5 but Microsoft is already outpacing Sony when it comes to subscriptions.
The news came as Microsoft announced its second quarter financial results, which cover October to December, and revealed that gaming revenue surpassed $5 billion (£3.64bn) for the first time with a 51% increase on the same period in 2019.
Although they’re only unofficial estimates it’s believed the PlayStation 5 has sold around 5 million consoles so far and the Xbox Series X/S a little under 3 million, but even ignoring the question of stock availability the most important numbers from now on are the number of Xbox Live and Game Pass subscribers – and in that sense the Xbox business could hardly be healthier. Importantly for Microsoft, it’s a clear advantage over Sony and a gap that they can expect to increase further once streaming becomes a bigger focus.

Is this the best you have to offer? Even @Bojan11 is ashamed right now
Can a loss be a win?
Why haven’t they changed the console name to ‘the games pass box’ yet?
Nice to be part of a success story
