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?

The English have loved bootlicking for quite some time, makes sense.

Going places other high quality outlets wouldn’t dare to tread

I'd say drunk but it was only 22:17 and on a school night.
So unhinged.
Ask Trump he is allegedly in the market for good quality pee.
That was an interesting read. I think there’s some truth in it about how, in this country specifically, history happens around us…that we are passive participants but we don’t see ourselves as agents of change. That thought actually reflects British politics for the last 6-7 years, maybe even further back to when Tories regained power actually.
What did you think of the article?
Is it actually possible to shag a flag?
I guess you could make it into an elementary fleshlight by utilising rubber bands, however the issue you'd then have is making it fly after the remnants have dried.
Food for thought now that the funeral is over I guess.

Yeah it's really good. It's from a classic collection of essays called The Invention of Tradition, there's a PDF you can find floating around online with a quick google if you're interested.
Also welcome back @Grinner.
10/10 would read again
It reads as something produced by someone that has to create a quantity of content and this is the best idea they could think of at the time.
The early stuff applies to other countries as well as the English, in some cases more so.
The French and Russian revolutions occurred because those countries were more hierarchical than Britain, not less.
He seems to think the current royal family does actually rule the country, which is bollocks, and completely misses the one blindingly obvious example of disgraceful real hereditary and unelected power in Britain today, the House of Lords.
It has some content.
2/10
sorry to have to post this again but I know what some of you lot are like
Please, this cannot be allowed here. For gods sake someone has passed away, this is not right mods. I know this poster has a longstanding history here, but this is not right. I can't be the only one that thinks this?
Why focus on the real problems in society when you can just hate on the Windsors.
Put him on ignore.
I wouldn't read that much into it, he seems to be a writer that has to keep finding things to write about, and he isn't a particularly good one.
As a Non British and non English I can say that this is a lot of bollocks on the thread and the article mentioned in some newspaper. If anyone thinks the Monarch rules then he or she is an idiot. The Monarch is just a puppet. Maybe if the Monarch has some powers it may be a good thing as they will be able to stop these imbeciles in power wrecking the whole country and the world.
The monarch is a puppet of who? The democratically elected government?
Outstanding
Banned surely?

Well this thread escalated quickly. 
I'm intrigued by this convo and point. What do you mean by doing it better?
*from Andrew.
Pure evil those two. They should be thrown out of the game.
Can't really blame them. They probably thought using their powerful influence to get something they don't deserve was fitting for the occasion.
Wealth inequality and a lack of social mobility is one of the real problems in society and a monarchy is basically that turned into a parade.
But they’re not the cause. It’s our poor excuse for a government who lead the way on that one.
Holly Willoughby is beautiful and provides excellent early day television entertainment, yet gets slaughtered for acting like she's above others, and we also don't let her be Queen
Queen wasn't beautiful, didn't provide early day television entertainment, yet we as a society lift her above others and let her be Queen.
Hmmm

They are definitely not the cause. Nor really are your current government, its a long term systemic problem overseen by consecutive governments and crystallised by reverence of idiots in gold hats.
Sorry I was having a bit of fun because the nation's darlings are now public enemy number 1 over queue etiquette. I even quoted the Eric Cantona kung Fu kick commentary. I thought it would have been obvious what I was at.
Don't worry, me and the other intellectuals picked up on it
Wtf?
are you trying to be funny? “We also don’t let her be queen”, that doesn’t make any sense at all
I'm 100% serious. I think there a few valid reasons as to why we could switch to her. I'm open to arguments though
Edit: If you don’t like Holly, I have other suggestions!
If you’re a fan of early daytime television then I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised

Is she still dead? Anyone checked?
Will have to wait for the next Wrestlemania to find out.
Yeah I don't get it either.
@Cascarino you need to rethink this one through and preferably have the answer on my desk before 12 o' clock
