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.
Such horrible news. I don’t think I’d ever really appreciated before I became a Dad just how awful this would be. A family friend of mine lost a twin some years ago and has hugely struggled to get past it. I’m not sure it’s even possible, I think it’s a level of grief you learn to live with for the rest of your life but it never ever goes.

Utterly awful news.
Very sad news. Must be a very traumatic experience having a still-born child.
Terrible. Guy must be hurting. Bad. All you can do is wish him and his family the best.
That'd be a really nice gesture.
As much as I hate the scousers, there's an undeniable level of respect between the clubs and fans.
Absolutely gutted for him.
My wife went through the same although it was a miscarriage.
There is no pain like it. He needs time to heal and to take care of his family.

Touching gesture to awful news.
Lovely gesture amid such awful news. Thoughts with the family and prayers for the little ones.
Devastating. I know somebody who had twins and lost one of them shortly after birth. While grieving, you also need to be there for your other newborn twin.
Just awful. So sad
Nice from them if it happens… as much as I hate them… there fans do have a bit of class. Unlike city’s 500.
Class act. What a terrible news for Ronaldo and his family.
Confirmed by United that there'll be a minutes applause in the 7th minute. Nice touch.
Hope they do have a minutes silence before the game, some things are just bigger than football and rivalry
They’re doing a clap a 7 minutes..
That's decent of them, terrible situation for Ronnie and his Mrs. No parent should ever bury a child, my father in law has never got over burying his son 55 years ago.
Fair play, best option so it can’t be ruined by fans trying to interrupt a minutes silence aka Shitty
That's really nice gesture and class act.
A minute’s applause for the death of a baby is certainly something. Personally I’d be very mixed at someone deciding that this is how they want to offer a #classytouch to the death of my infant.
Can't stand Liverpool FC but Scousers, in my experience, are genuinely decent folk.
That's a lovely gesture from them.
That happens to be the case for most folk, football fans have a lot more in common than they realize.
Still cringey as feck those lot but this time a very nice gesture, I'll respect them for that.
True enough.
It's more an applause for Cristiano and Georgina's family as a sign of support. It also bridges the divide between football rivalries and shows that there's more important things in life than sport. I understand your wariness to the whole thing but it's always worth remembering that a club like Liverpool, who know loss more than most other clubs, have done this time and again for other clubs. They even did it for us before their own tragic injustice that was Hillsborough, after the Munich disaster (Forest did a lot as well).
In short, they're utter bastards because they're Liverpool FC but they're also pretty decent because they're Liverpool FC.
My mom’s the same buried a wee brother of ours still cuts deep until this day.
its for him not clapping the deceased ffs
I feel a bit numb and stunned at this awful news. My partner had an early miscarriage after our first child had been born. It was an awful situation that lead to lots of health complications and emotional turmoil that we still haven't fully recovered from to be honest.
I can't begin to imagine the impact of such an issue arising at close to full term or in childbirth.
When my daughter was born there was about the longest 5 minutes of my life when I feared I was going to lose my wife and daughter but thankfully both made a full recovery. I think i suffered for a while with some ptsd reactions to it.
This is going to have an impact on Ronnie and his family and I can only wish them the best at this awful time.

I understand where you are coming from, could have released some balloons before kickoff or something would’ve been a nicer touch.
Horrible news. Friends of mine had to go through this 3 years ago they still feel the loss to this day, and they feel like this pain will never go fully away. 
And don't forget how Sir Alex tried to help Kenny in their hour of need - some things transcend and them bothering to show human support means far more than how anyone can try and interpret their method of doing so.
I 100% agree with you.
It shows that while the hatred both fans have for each other it’s not life and death. Same as Munich and Hillsbrough they show respect and we do the same. Of course you get the odd idiots but the fan base on both sides are respectful
I think it's admirable that Liverpool wants to show support to a club legend of their biggest rivals during a horrible time in his life. It's never easy for someone to respond in these situations, whenever someone close to you loses someone you always have that thought of, what do I say at this moment... What else could Liverpool do? Organize a minute of silence at 7 mins? Or at the beginning I suppose. That could have been more appropriate than clapping, but almost impossible to pull off at 7mins and whether it's at the beginning or 7 mins it leaves an opening for an asshole or two to yell shit out when the silence starts.
Why can't we just acknowledge the nice gesture from Liverpool and not over analysis?
Well said. There is no need to go looking for things that don't exist.
Really sad news! Can’t imagine the pain and sorrow they’re going through. Warm thoughts to Cristiano and his family tonight.
Me too. Not appropriate in my opinion.
When they started singing “you’ll never walk alone” . It just felt so warming, the unity, the respect, the effort from rivals, that’s football at its best when it unites and adds to the humanity of life.
It’s reassuring. On his FB page the post that announced the passing away of his son, I looked at the likes emojis and while the majority were appropriate there were a 1000 or so laughing one. Very small minority but still really bugged me.
