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.
Selby making me feel better about my ability with the rest here
Glad he lost that frame.
Murphy trying to keep playing aggressive, progressive snooker in an attempt to keep from getting bogged down by Selby but I just don’t think he’s going to have the quality and consistency for it to get him over the line.
I think we are going to see Murphy clock up 30-50 points in a lot of these frames and Selby doing enough to keep squeezing him out.

Murphy making some excellent pots. Hope he beats Selby, can’t stand the cnut.
This has been a really good final, you can see how much pressure the final of the world championship brings on as both the guys have just one century each but the overall quality has been excellent. So so impressed by Murphy who has been incredible on long pots and has actually played good safety too
Yeah, his break building will have to be right at his top level to beat Selby in a long race.
Just realised that Murphy looks like Haaland on a pie rich diet.
You may say he looks porcine.
What a great description of him
The dithering cnut is driving me insane.
He’s so economical. I actually really enjoy watching him play.
He’s nearly as bad as Ebdon at times.
Drinking game - Have a drink every time Ken Doherty says delicate little cannon in commentary
I wish he'd become a little more economical with time.
Nearly but Ebdon was another level on the shithousery. Selby is just massively pragmatic and has no problem grinding a game down to its worst form because he knows he can operate within those conditions. Ebdon was an arsehole who would nip home mid-frame to get his chalk and stop to watch Lord of the Rings if he thought he could get away with it.
The jester from Leicester showing us all what a light hearted and funny chap he can be.
I dont watch any Selby matches. Just brutal where he grinds you down. Its the equivalent of watching a Mourinho team.
Not really. He’s very capable of breakbuilding, he’s just able to do the tactical stuff better than anyone else
By having the sad eyes of a genocide survivor.
Any lingering shots of Selby’s missus? If she ever turns up dead in a suitcase it was 100% the director of the BBC snooker coverage.
Murphy's wife is the one we need more of but she's at home
Would love to see Murphy storm back and win but just can’t see it happening now. He’s had his chances and Selby is not one to gift opportunities to. Excellent player Selby, one of the greats but just so underwhelming.

This. He's seriously the most complete player there is and fully deserves to move onto four world titles tonight.
I would have begrudged him before this tournament to level Higgins but can't take it away from him now. I've never seen a player get the cue ball to settle on the top cushion as consistently as Mark Selby.
Were they booing Selby?
Shootout's *that* way.
Why would you care about him going level with that cheating cnut
Calls himself the ‘jester from Leicester’ with a face like a smacked arse
How is Shaun still not finding the baulk cushion ? His safety has been so bad.
This match is over.
These pockets are like 9 ball pockets.
Least I'm going to get an early one.
I’m sure he used to be more of a jovial character when he was younger. I think he’s got more miserable in recent years which probably coincides with how good he has become
Some great shots from Murphy there. Hoping he can win the next few and put the pressure on Selby.
Murphy like a new man now that he’s not going in off every break
Exhibition stuff. Probably feels the pressure is off a bit now he’s not expected to win it. That green in particular was lovely, great cue power and control, much harder than glancing it around the angles.
Early days but as good an opportunity for a 147 as any.
