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?
His nose is growing the more he is talking there.
Jesus Christ, this guy. He's a fecking moron.Mutiny at Chelsea with Terry was long before pogba came back.
It's a joke. He didn't say that.
Mutiny at Chelsea with Terry was long before pogba came back.
You know what was a funny story at that time? Arsenal being 0-4 up at Newcastle and Newcastle coming back. It was one the first melt downs that ive seen as far as internet goes. Epic times man.
The fact that someone could believe that it was a real quote speaks volumes of Sourness.

You're right, the best kind of lies are those that are not a million miles from the truth!
Wasn't Willy warming up even before Kepa had cramp the first time? (Someone on the radio said he was)
Why would he be warming up if not for a planned sub?
No. He was rushing about because he had not been warming up.
Fair enough, I missed from ET onwards so didn’t see the incident (sorry to go all Wenger on you)
I think keepers dive where they think the player will shoot it. For well taken penalties the keeper really doesn't have time to react to the shot. So essentially he is guessing where it is going to go. I'm sure you grow more of an understanding of players you face penalties from daily and can better predict where they are going to shoot slightly better. Don't think players react to keepers tendencies in shootouts as much.
No he wasn't, he was rushed out of his tracksuit only after the 'injury'.
Yes, of course they are, but they're still ultimately responsible for making subs. That's...their job description. Appeal for your cause if you want diplomatically, but the decision is theirs and if you refuse, you're undermining the entire chain of command in regards to how the team works. All managers make mistakes - Fergie sometimes did too, in spite of his obvious genius, but that would've never washed as an excuse to defy him because he was the boss.
I think he's joking as well
You forgot to mention the most important detail, he was crying
Yeah, I'd largely subscribe to that. For someone taking a penalty it's fairly easy to know where the keeper doesn't want you to put the ball - the least likely places they're going to be able to save them. But as the person taking the penalty the burden is still on them to put the ball there, and doing so isn't always easy. Whereas a keeper may be able to anticipate where a player is likely to then put the ball and react accordingly.
Gallas was so good for us. Everyone talks about the Terry & Carvalho partnership but Gallas was fantastic.
Bit of an emotional guy though. Bit of the Sol Campbell about him.
Oh yeah, I actually forgot about that!
To be fair to him, that was the game when Eduardo suffered that horror injury.

This took some digging around but have found the rule.
League cup hand book says substitutions will be made in accordance with Law 3 found in the laws of the game.
Laws of the game and FA rules are here

Under substitutions it states:

- if a player who is to be replaced refuses to leave, play continues
What a terrible rule...
Ham roll blud
It says more about the bitterness of those who believe it.
It's pretty ironic.
Did Azpilicueta really say "not my problem" post match? Because I have seen it go the rounds on Twitter but, can not find a direct quote. And it would show poor leadership as the captain if he said that.
Interesting way to request a transfer, I thought.
The only defence of Kepa I can see here is that if there wasn't a pre-plan to bring the sub keeper on just before penalties then if he genuinely felt fit enough to continue I guess his argument might have been .... 'I've kept a clean sheet, there was no plan to replace me if it went to penalties and I'm not injured' .... he may well have thought the sub keeper was only coming on to replace an injured one and if he wasn't injured then he may have been over ruling his boss in a genuinely positive sense.
If, on the other hand, it was always the plan to replace him in event of penalties looming the he's a disgrace and no excuse. Also could he have been faking the injuries to buy his outfield team mates a breather ?

Ridiculous from Kepa in the middle of what could have been an excellent night for his team. What a prick.
Which journos are saying that? The only interview I saw from Azpi was him saying he was "I don't know, I was on the side of the pitch".

Thank you it did not seem true which is why I asked.
Felt a bit sorry for Gallas after that game. He'd witnessed one of his teammates suffer a fecking horrendous, potentially career ending injury. Obviously it's not ideally what you want in a captain but sometimes can get a bit much for people and there's not necessarily any shame in that.
I don't know why Sarri allowed him to honestly. He should have just pulled him off.
What is Kepa thinking? I wouldn't play him again as his manager. He's out. You can't behave like a spoiled brat and defy your manager like that.

If he played for SAF, SAF would have ordered all the players to take off their boots, then called up every sporting goods store in the Greater Manchester area, had them deliver all the boots, and then thrown every single one at the kid, then terminated his contract on the spot.
As far as I can see he just said he didn't see what happened because he was on the other side of the pitch so couldn't comment. Then someone on twitter said "Azpilicueta basically just said "it's not my problem"". Which then led to someone else on twitter saying "Azpilicueta literally just said "it's not my problem"".
I’m assuming that rule isn’t applicable if the player in question has a head injury.
Not sure if anyone remembers, but Sakho has to be practically dragged off of the pitch in the 2016 COC final against City after getting a head injury which left him all over the place.
That rule is ridiculous.
In what other industry would you not get sacked for publicly defying and then humiliating your boss?
If I was a Chelsea fan i'd want a public apology and Kepa suspended for a few months.
Disgraceful and unprofessional behaviour.

Picked an odd time to defend his players...
Feel Sarri is now undermining himself further by somewhat accepting the blame publicly. Hard to imagine this is the same way it is being handled internally.
Sarri is a class act isn't he. Kepa is going to come out of this a lot better than he might've.
