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.
I'm all for removing anything religious where it doesn't belong. Real just being progressive.
Exactly, as stupid as having "Emirates" stadium in London.
Pathetic.
Are you Christians or not?
Money is more important than culture!
Imagine if Real were Muslim and UAE Christian and they asked Real to remove a moon and star from their crest as to not offend Christians?
Would you not think trading money for religion is a....sin?

It's that mob so I don't really care what they do, but I will say that if we changed our logo to appease a sponsor for religious reasons, I'd be ashamed of our club.
I do question whether a change even had to be made. We have millions of fans worldwide of all kinds of denominations and our logo portrays the freakin devil, yet it doesn't stop us from having a large fan base or from getting sponsorships in other countries. Would something as trivial as a cross stop someone from supporting Real?

I bet majority of muslims following football don't care how a club's logo looks like, especially non-issue like this.
Agreed with manuttjw on this. None of the Arabic sponsers have had any issues with Devil on Man Utd's logo.

Oh I definitely agree with you on this point mate.
Though unfortunately, such a Utopian vision might never come to fruition in our deeply territorial and inherently fragmented society with people in power more than willing to push their agendas using every conceivable method to sway public opinion, a people that come to conclusions without taking an informed opinion into account, as long as it tallies with their confirmation bias. Hopefully that'll change with time and awareness and we'll leave a more homogeneous world for future generations. That's the dream innit ?
I didn't even know they had a cross on the crest until now. Really is a tiny change, and I can understand why they did it.
I do find it stupid though that this sort of thing needs to be done still. Religion really needs to be pushed out of the majority of things. Far to often things that shouldn't need changing are dictated by some person's religion, when in reality there should be no link between the two.

They have no use for religious affiliation anyways.
Coool. Still some time for redesignining national flags ahead of the WC finals in Qatar.
Doing this for money doesn't seem progressive at all!
Yea when I was in Saudi Arabia, our logo was plastered all over the place without an issue.
It seems that some self important jerk got uppity in this case.
It's funny because Muslims also believe Jesus was crucified. So not sure why.
Are they gonna put a pair of AK-47's in place of the small cross? May as bloody well.
The world is changing.
We're all being force fed Halal meat too, with all these big fast food chains bowing down to Muslim demands.
If the roles were reversed, this would never happen. I think it's ridiculous.

That was a strange post.
Everything has a price. Even religion and 112 year old history these days it seems.
I agree and I don't think people will mind this change. I don't and I'm a Christian.
I wonder if Barca would remove the George cross if they were in the same situation.
I seem to remember Inter Milan getting shit when they played in Turkey for wearing the red cross of Milan on a shirt.

Pretty much sums up RM for me, self-selling bunch of whores. Religious thing or not, put that aside, look at how Hull City fans were pissed off about name change. This removal is more about checking 'how far can we go with our bullshit' and Real simply crossed another line.
Perez is a whore. Imagine someone ridding our badge of the devil? What's wrong with Satanism anyway?
What was the reasoning for United to take out the football club part in the badge?
No they don't.
I'm delighted my home has demanded Real to do something this ridiculous and they still did it.
Clowns.
Clowns.

Wonder how this will go down with their fans?
Would imagine they're fairly staunchly Catholic and might have their noses put out of joint by the decision.
Real Madrid are from a Catholic country, everyone knows that. And if the cross was ever a problem they wouldn't be so popular in places like the Middle East would they. Just shows a complete lack of principles and actually self-respect.
Mental.
Real Madrid do care about what some rich Arabians feel, but they do not care about their countrymen feelings.
They've just sold not only their history, but also history of christian Europe.
Highlights another big issue in modern world - Arabians always demand to respect their religion feelings, but they never respect yours - even if they stay and live in your country for social benefits.

What would they ask of United if we had a deal with them instead of Real? Remove the red devil from the crest? They could kiss my ass if they ask so.
Every Arab doesn't think like that obviously and all Arabs don't share the same beliefs.
Meh, I don't see the big fuss. It's a good strategic decision and I have to admit that I've never noticed that little cross at the top of the crown either way.
I was about to ask the same question too; they can kiss my ass if they ever ask so. That red devil is part of my life and proudly so.
They should've stuck a picture of Jesus doing the tango on there instead and told them to feck off.
Yeah, no way you'd catch the Glazers doing something like that!
Wow, this is starting to get ridiculous!
No wonder we don't have a big middle-eastern sponsor...
...they must have all seen the infamous Fulham match.

No need to generalize there.
Stop whinging, imagine how I feel about this as an anorexic vegatarian.
