In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Im guessing this thread is inspired by this?

While no-one has actually admitted making a mistake in signing Luther Blissett for AC Milan, the rumour persists in Italy over 30 years later that the club had in fact meant to sign Blissett’s Watford team-mate John Barnes.
Blissett had a torrid single season at Milan, scoring just five goals in 30 appearances and bemoaning that in Italy “no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy Rice Crispies”. The AC Milan owner and president at the time, Giuseppe Farina, never denied the story but did concede that Blissett had been recommended to him by a London gardener.

Perhaps the single funniest moment in premier league history
Really? The move to sign him to a new 5 year deal was lauded at the time?
Personally I was hoping we got as much money as possible from Chelsea at the time.
Go look at the Rooney thread as the news was announced. The vast majority here were definitely pleased we were keeping him and he wasn't going to play under Mourinho at Chelsea.
This was fecking unreal
France v Kuwait 1982 world cup. Kuwait thought a French goal should not have been given so they walked off until the ref agreed to disallow the goal...
Edit: Skip to 5:40 where it all kicks off.

Still can't believe he freaking bite someone. And then again. And again.
38 seconds in the last derby
One of the strangest goals that I've seen

And yet, still not the most interesting thing about Blissett's time in Italy.
