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?

So our front line is 3 international captains
predict the headline "the three captains" in the near future
Nice goal btw

Nice goal btw
All scored this international week as well
Played a part in all 3 goals, should have had 2, Bacca the cheeky cnut nabbed it, anyway a goal and assist from Falcao.

This is the caf. A player can go from Messi to Bebe and back to Messi in the space of 3 games.
Exactly this. Short memories. Was it not also RVP who won us the 20 title under Fergie? We have 2 world class Strikers and Rooney is just below them in class. Rooney is the better player to play just behind them and he has upped his game as a #10, thank feck for no more cross field balls out wide, he seems to be using his vision more and looking for forward passes on the deck.
2 goals in 2 games now... Looks like he found his scoring touch
Did he play the full 90?
I hope so. He did look a bit anxious, for both club and country
Wasn't it rumoured that he had a muscle strain or something? If he did, he really shouldn't be playing the full 90 tbh.
Came off after 60 mins
Is there anymore scheduled match for Colombia?
A beast of a player can't wait till he gets up to 100% fitness. Better than Costa also!
They play Canada on Tuesday (Wednesday early morning if you are in England)
Really really doubt this, can you tell me in which area's he is better? He is a better header of the ball, and is much more sharp/aware in the penalty area. Other than that, I dont know what he can that Rooney couldnt.
Yeah but what has Rooney done since his goal on Thursday
I absolutely feckin love the guy! I cannot wait for him to be back to his best. He has a great attitude and presence, a proper team player as well, he's not a typical selfish striker even his assists are great too!
That's a cracking header. If Di Maria can stop flying corners over everybody maybe we can start being a goal threat from them again with headers like that.
Great header. Was this James with the final ball?
Almost had a trick there - he's almost back to top speed!
Quality, quality classy player. Still can't believe he's here......
Cracking header. The way he sniffs chances in the box is brilliant
Great header, he's starting to find his feet again. These matches are, for fecking once, a blessing for us.. that he can get some match fitness without doing it for us.
Captain to boot! I wonder if he has the equivalent of a Colombian scouser-accent too?
Earning just under 100 K.
Definitely reminiscent of Denis Law - the heading, the overhead kicks and obviously the predatory instincts.
Better first touch as well.. I got time for Rooney as a footballer but Falcao is clearly the better #9
I hope you mean Bebe being the top player and Messi being the crap player
Consistency. You expect a certain level from Falcao and up to his injury he produced that consistently. Rooney has a run of good games, goes into a bad run of games and then starts being good again.
Then there's heading, finishing, can use his left foot as well as his right foot with the same ability, strength on the ball and many other things. His acceleration up to last year was also better than Rooney's.
Yep. But you could assume not too many people have really followed him since he doesn't play in EPL or UCL.
He's a fecking beast of a CF on form.
Let's hope he goes on a long goalscoring run now. I'd be quaking in my boots if I was a WBA defender next Monday. Mind you, I'd be filling my boots if I was a WBA attacker.
He has the best header I have ever seen on football (well Batistuta might have been there too). Wouldn't be surprised at all if he has scored 50-60 goals from headers during his career.
His finishing is by far one of the deadliest in the modern game. Seeing as you have short term memory loss, I am assuming you are basing your judgement on the few games Falcao has played for us.
These are the factors you're failing to consider.
- new, physical league and faster pace of play. Adaptation takes time for any player (great or otherwise)
- First time in a long time, he plays as a partner striker at United. Has almost always played on his own. Has to play differently.
- He has admitted that he's still not 100% after the injury but has said he needs game time to get it back.
- Hailed by one and all as the deadliest number 9 in the past 3 or 4 years. Everyone from Ronaldo to ex-players.
As for how he is better than Rooney? He's a pure number 9. He has better movement. Better finishing and better hold-up play.
So, either you can come out of ignorance and embrace knowledge that the world is not flat or you can remain stubborn and be proven wrong later.
Oh and take a look at that header he managed to put in yesterday. Devastating.
I think we can excuse the guy considering he's coming back from a horrible ligament injury which has ended many a playing career in modern football. He'll still be lacking a bit of confidence in taking challenges and running hard on that leg. Think how horrible it is knowing that by some 1000 in a one chance your knee ligaments could snap. It's a mental block and will take time to overcome. What he needs now is goals and our support.
If these are the only things you can name, I dont know how you could say Falcao is better, Rooney has a better shot, better passing, better in the build up, he creates more, is faster, is stronger, better vision, comfortable in more roles.
