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?
He was very clearly fouled, regardless of what he did.
Dived to avoid the challenge, he clearly stopped a potential counter attack, professional freekick and a fair yellow.
schweinsteiger is the idiot for diving in like that when on a yellow.
Also pretty funny to see Guardiola whine about diving, glass fecking houses

Dive?!
Really don't give a crap. Niave if you don't play Europe at their own game.
When he was fouled you mean you bird brain.
Foul.
He had to jump out of the way of the challenge. He exaggerated the fall but it was a freekick and probably a yellow
Foul. Screamed like a girl.
Contact or not.. it was clear obstruction without getting the ball.. stopping a potential counter.
That has to be a foul...

Clear foul, Schweiny shouldn't have dove in on a yellow.
It was a dive but Bastian was gonna make the foul if he didn't throw himself. It doesn't excuse Wayne. That was embarrassing but I'm happy with the result.
100% foul, Rooney's shrug to Bastian said it all, he got himself sent off by stupidly diving in. Of course Rooney dives over it, he's not a fecking idiot.
Exaggerated the fall. Not a yellow but I'm not bothered. No Martinez and Schweinsteiger is only good for us.
Ok, he didnt need to throw his head back but, it was always a yellow card
Was poorly timed from Pigf*cker, dive or no dive. Given Ribery vs Rafael a few years ago, I haven't the slightest sympathy.
Clear foul, deserved a yellow. It was his second yellow. This thread is embarassing.
That wasn't a dive you spackers. He exaggerated the impact but there was an impediment
Rooney's one of the consistent divers in the team but I thought that was an obvious foul to be honest.
Similar to Sturridge with Vidic's sending off. Little to no contact but he dived into the challenge looking to make contact when on a yellow card. Cant complain
Theatrical fall, but Schweinsteiger can't complain. He went for the challenge and was clearly too late. If you do that on a counter, you're always risking a yellow card.
Definitely a foul, over exaggerated but still a yellow nonetheless.
It can be a foul and a dive. Rooney's exaggeration was a beautiful swan dive.
Foul yes, yellow nope.
Using the Valencia example Bayern can feel hard done by.

Milked it the same way Bayern did when trying to get Valencia sent off. What goes around comes around!
He was practically murdered. How on earth are people saying it was a dive?
Deary me.
Deary me.
Pretty obvious foul, and yellow. Stupid from schweinsteiger really. I love him as a player but that was his fault already on a yellow.
Not really sure how anyone can think it was a dive. Did pretend to be hurt after though.
Who cares? Another one in Munich to get Lahm sent off would do nicely
Clear foul
Definite foul, not sure a yellow.
People that find it embarrassing take football way too seriously.

A foul and just about a yellow (though we couldn't complain if it wasn't given).
Rooney made the most of it though.

Foul but no booking.
He could've killed him.Pigsteiger was late - foul - second yellow - red.
What's the problem here?

Against Villa? Yeah it was a bad one, embarrassing really. Thankfully he cut it out tonight.
Welbeck goal disallowed
He could have been killed!
It wasn't a dive. Valencia was given a yellow for a similar challenge on Lahm very early in the game.
Reminded me of Steven Gerrard's starfish. No sympathy, though.
