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?
Now that would be something

Nothing would make me happier right now, so, so excited for this

Elizabeth?
Would be delighted with another album as good as the last one. Big improvement on Era Vulgaris.
Between this and Chilli Peppers releasing new stuff it has been a sad year for music.
I'm not sure I understand your point
Why is it bad? QOTSA are awesome! I'd understand if they had started falling off but their last album was up there with their best stuff IMOI'll put it mathematically.
New release(QOTSA+RHCP) =
How can you literally put QOTSA and RHCP in the same bracket? QOTSA are streets ahead of most bands.I'll put it mathematically.

Absolute beast of a band in their early days - over the course of the first three albums or so. I kind of lost the thread with them a little bit in the last few years but they remain one of the best live bands I've ever had the luxury of seeing live on a few occasions in the early to mid 2000's. Remember seeing them at Nottingham Rock City in 2002 and they were absolutely immense.
Haven't seen them live now since 2007 so must try harder!

I didn't really get into their last album. Still try to see them live whenever possible one of the best bands around.
Saw them in Rock in Rio Lisbon 2014 and they were great. The only band that would make me go to that shite festival.
New album, Villains, released on the 25th of August and coming to Ireland in November. Happy days.
Mark Ronson is a strange choice for producer though.

Elton John and the bloke from the Scissor Sisters were odd choices for guests on Like Clockwork. Worked out okay, so I have faith!
Oh I'm cool with it, In fairness Ronson has a good track record in rap and pop so don't see why he won't do well here.
New song is fantastic. Really dirty sexy vibe to it. (Allegedly about Brody - met her when she was 17 etc).
Josh Homme is one sexy man.
And Ronson as producer? I've no problem with it. New song is high on vocals and perhaps low on bass and drums like a "pop" producer might go for, but I'm pretty sure Josh is producing it just as much as Ronson is.
Very clever song on every level.

New tune is great. Funky.
It's decent enough. Sounds like Arctic Monkeys covering Chuck Berry or something.
Am I the only one who thinks its a bit mehh
Tickets bought for the Dublin show! God bless that pre sale!
Got 'em too. Hoping for plenty of the old stuff cause their last few albums haven't been great.
Needs more Nick Oliveri.
Any link to the new track? Saw them years ago when they brought out songs for the deaf, they were amazing live.
Really not feeling the new song. I've given it a few chances but it's not doing much for me. This time they seem to be combining their new Arctic Monkeys style pop with the electronic style of Era Vulgaris. Which seems odd to me. Why employ arguably the best drummer in rock if you're going to replace him with handclaps?
Thanks mate thought i was alone...
Yeah the majority of the response seems positive. It just sounds a bit like an EODM leftover to me.
Agree very little QOTSA .... Your point on the drummer was spot on for me.
Is Jon Theodore really that good? Haven't heard much of him tbh so don't know
He's a monster. Definitely one of the best I've seen anyway.
Still not listened to the new song yet 
Thought first single was a bit meh. It's the opposite of a 'grower' - riff stayed in my head for a few days, until I realised it's not actually that good a song.
But in the context of the album it'll probably be great, so who knows.

The album leaked.
I thought the single was bland, but the album is surprisingly good. Lots of synths.

I'd better report that as a matter of haste. Despicable.
New track is very Vultures sounding.
New album out today! (haven't listened to it yet)
had a listen through this morning. A lot of long meandering songs that will probably take some time to get into.
I think it's their weakest yet. I'm a massive Queens fan, but even Era Vulgaris had more tunes that this.
(still haven't listened to it)
