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?

Ireland play a different sport to England. Our lads might as well be playing football.
Shame for Scotland , but glad to see Ireland so defensively solid. We're still a little worrisome in forward play, a few small mistakes
Who was nervous, not me 
And another one. Third try for the Irish.
I was a bag of nerves until we scored our second try. The beer helps tooWho was nervous, not me
Well, that game was anticlimactic.
I'd love an O'Mahony try.
I think France have a chance against them, as they have multiple turnover threats right across the team, and the only way to beat Ireland is to compete like feck for the ball at the breakdown. They are certainly favourites though as I’ve said for what feels like ages now
Whiskey here
I'd be going straight for that, but alas I'm oncall so I need to be "responsible"Whiskey here
Jaysus really? It's feckin Scotland and they never looked like scoring.
Whiskey here too. Nice hot ones.Whiskey here
Anyone else think Scotland have been very good?
I can't help but be nervous in big sports games. I'm an anxious person at the best of times
Well that’s it. Ireland just have that extra gear or two.

Did you notice that in the last 7 days the primetime games involve the pool A and B? Maybe the IRB actually planned the draw.

They're playing to the best of their ability. They just can't break down Ireland though, similar to the SA match
Fair enoughI can't help but be nervous in big sports games. I'm an anxious person at the best of times
I'd have been nervous it Scotland got an early try but they've never been in it really.
I literally just texted that to someone. They've been great.
Lads you're meant to keep the ref bias as a secret
My Virgin Media stream has died and I'm on Sky. It's fecking brutal Incredibly awful commentary
Incredibly awful commentaryLove the comment from the ref. “I didn’t see that coming!”
Oh don’t set him off ffs@Pogue Mahone

The online one is perfect, as it always is.My Virgin Media stream has died and I'm on Sky. It's fecking brutal
Hansen out from that HIA?
Scotland getting slapped about here.
"Ireland assemble their monsters."
What about NZ? I hastily dismissed them after the France game, and didn't really have them among the favourites coming into the World Cup either. But they've racked up some massive points. Granted, the opposition have been poor, but they appear to be going under the radar somewhat. I don't know. It feels like they're really revving up.
Hugo Keenan is a fecking machine
Jeez, Ireland are great.
Roll on next Saturday against the All-Blacks!
Jesus lads we are class! Please please be ok Mack Hansen!
I thought he went off for blood?
I'll be deeply nervous for that match too. More justified probably.
Not sure
Thought Scotland were good until the second try but Ireland have been immense
Went off for Blood, came back on and then went back off. I'm suspecting a light injury and they don't wanna risk it when we realised we had them pinned
Ha, I see you're on the shit Sky commentary too"Ireland assemble their monsters."
NZ are steamrollering the weaker teams but they don’t have the power to defend against irelands multiphase game. They were battered by the South African power in the warm up game and Ireland would put that on them. Plus, Savea aside, I don’t think they have the specialist turnover threats that are needed to stop Ireland/Leinsters game
