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?
While I don’t want to jump too far ahead, if we can beat Everton and go to the Council House and win the league at their place that will just be the Ultimate!
Im getting tingles even thinking about it, but I need to reel myself in. One game at a time…..

Thier fans will make sure, as if they needed it, that they are bang up for this game.
They would love nothing more than to piss off Rooney.

I'm confident for this game.
Me too.
I just have a feeling that Everton's morale might be a bit low. I really do think Moyes and the team thought they would get to that final...it was their chance at a trophy after all their hard work over the years on low resources. I suppose there is an argument that if they had got to the cup then they wouldn't have worked so hard against us for fear of injuries etc...but I feel as though they might just want to play the season out..
I've read that some fans want to lose so we win 20 and outdo Liverpool again 
Wouldn't be surprised... they've nothing whatsoever to play for.I've read that some fans want to lose so we win 20 and outdo Liverpool again
I dont think so. They will be going flat out now to finish above Liverpool.
I remember in the Treble year, watching the Spurs game that won us the league with a mate who supported Spurs, he felt the same way, at that point he just didn't want Arsenal winning it.
This.
Everton are a decent side but if they can't go flat out in a cup semi final against Liverpool why would they be any more likely to do so next week? Moyes is just too negative in these big games. If Utd drop points next week it'll be more to do with how we've played than anything Everton muster I think.
Sixth spot is now up for grabs regarding Europa football.More incentive for the toffees.
We will not win at the Etihad, and Everton are capable of giving us a game too. I would be delighted with 4 points in the next 2 but being the pessimist that I am I worry about City being top on goal difference on Apr 30th.
Why not?
We have no fresh injuries and we're playing well, the Wigan game aside. Also, we've already beat them there in the FA cup.
We will beat City by at least three goals on their own ground.
Haha... Viera will say, "the League is corrupt! United always get the help, even from opposition!"I've read that some fans want to lose so we win 20 and outdo Liverpool again
Your glass is not half empty... It's totally empty! You need to get a life, go play tennis or something.
"Liked"
Finishing above Liverpool is surely top of their agenda.
I have a life, honestly. It's only April and May that are a bit shaky every year.Your glass is not half empty... It's totally empty! You need to get a life, go play tennis or something.

Classic example of a loss being a win.I've read that some fans want to lose so we win 20 and outdo Liverpool again
Yeah, because they're going to catch up 10 points on Chelsea in 5 matches...
I just had a visit from the Ghost of Football Matches Future.
He assured me Newcastle are going to beat City. In fact, he took me to the game. I cant give you any more details tho as I dont want to cause any suspicious betting patterns.
But all of you who are panicking can now chill out. We will take at least a point when we play City and they will also lose against Newcastle. Although I dont know what will happen in any of the other games.

Beat Everton and we only need 5 points from the final 9.
Losing on goal difference would kill me, especially by only a goal or two, meaning that 6-1 defeat at OT was the difference.

Take comfort. If we lose on GD it'll be by more than a goal or two.
I think i need to get a life. Is it just me that keeps thinking of this title 24/7 and the permutations or results we and City will/might get in our remaining matches? I don't really remember feeling like this at all last season, probably it's because it's City this season and how much i want that coveted 20th title to shut everyone up. How i wish the next round of games comes sooner rather than the weekend
In the Redcafe, you can be almost certain your feeling is shared by most if not all... I sometimes ask myself the same question, and I have a busy life outside supporting my team!
I'm feeling a little better after the Villa game, but it's going to be hell if City win the derby.
Well, going 8 points on Sunday will certainly make us even happier. After that it's over to Wolves. Surely one can only hope with Wolves still fighting to save the drop and giving their all? I mean if they lose this one, they are confirm doom
As I've said previously, City Wolves is a foregone conclusion. Seen a lot of Wolves this season and they are completely done in. They've lost all semblance of organisation and confidence. It'll be a damage limitation exercise.
We'll draw against City and win our other matches.
Ha ha, not at all, I'm the same mate. I keep randomly coming out with stuff like "if we beat this or that and then get this from them" routines about us winning the title to the misses and I can almost see her brain thinking, oh fs, not again. Football hey.
that works mathematically but i'd be disappointed if that actually happened that way. i want at least 10 points from that with 3 of them coming against massive.
You'd be disappointed if we only win the League mathematically?
come on...don't be silly. read the whole post. we're better than 8 points out of that lot.
The last match won't necessarily be treated all that seriously if we've already won the League before it starts, as it would in Cold_Boy's scenario. I wouldn't be surprised if we dropped points in it, nor would I be all that bothered about it.
We only need 9 points to tie our all time record for points in a 38 game season, 91 points from 1999-2000. We had 92 points in 93-94, but it was a 42 game season.
I think it would be a great slap in the face to those who doubt this team or our midfield, to do as well as any United team in history. With Vidic back next season we should be scary good.
