In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
You obviously didn't watch them today.
What if liverpool pip Chelsea to fourth but Chelsea win the European cup?
Time for them to 'put it right' after a bad performance today
5 English sides in the CL
Congrats Leicester. Now Chelsea, do the business on Tuesday and win yourself a CL.
Wonder if Chelsea fans would have preferred a win in the league rather than today anyways
Well I have been reading here from Chelsea fans how they just can’t get excited by getting top 4 and an FA Cup final is more important. Some might change their mind now though.
I think Chelsea will be more focused on the league game between us, however I would take beating them in the FA cup final over the league game if given the choice, hopefully we can do both, but I think we might be in hangover mode, granted the win may also boost our confidence as well though.
I'd have preferred an FA cup.
Just realized if Liverpool win their games, they are almost certainly through..
Leicester have to be favorites to feck it up at this point

It's pretty much Liverpool's to lose at this point. I would be really surprised if they don't get top 4 - I just hope it's at the expense of Chelsea.
I guess the best result on Tuesday would be a draw? Then Leicester can secure 3rd with a victory over Spurs, and Chelsea would just need Liverpool to draw one of their games to be able to secure 4th.

Jammy, jammy Liverpool. I can't see either Burnley or Palace putting up a better fight than West Brom did.
I see LiVARpool are back. How was that WBA disallowed?
I hope Burnley put in the most Burnley performance of their sodding lives.
Feck United for letting these cnuts back in. We had one job. Rested every fecker for them and we still got owned on our own patch.
If they were playing us they'd get a 0 0 draw no doubt.
So fecking lucky
It was disallowed by correctly following the rulebook, which is objectively acceptable for most people I guess.
Chelsea and Liverpool done.
Liverpool have pretty much clinched it thanks to Mike Dean
Very harsh on one of Leicester or chelsea
Not really, they're as much as to blame as we are. We should have beat them, and those two have dropped so many daft points.
Their luck never seems to amaze me.
How is it harsh, they just bottled it if they do not finish in top 4. Leicester's stupid loss to Newcastle and Chelsea's loss to Arsenal was unacceptable. If Liverpool finish in top 4 then fair fecking play to them.
Liverpool favourites but if they could only squeeze a win against WBA then they could drop points against the two other teams.
Leicester losing Johnny Evans could be tricky. Facing Kane on the last day of the season

People were so giddy about Leicester dropping points in the last few weeks and it baffled me, all worried about us getting 2nd which we'll do anyway, while Liverpool sneak in through the backdoor.
Yup, were the fecking clowns responsible for this who couldn't even draw at home despite being the bestest 2nd placed team ever
Literally let Leicester take 3 pts from us. No need to take this so personally!
I will not lie, Burnley worry me. I would rather face a rested Utd first XI again if truth be told.
Yep, unfortunately the protest that got the original game abandoned might just have given liverpool CL qualification this season. Bloody hell.
Disagree, they are much more at fault. They should have been out of sight.
Where we fecked up, it was because of the dickheads at the PL scheduling 3 games in 5 days. Under a normal schedule we'd get at the very least 4 points from the two games we lost.
Leicester fecking up against Newcastle and Southampton when they were all but there. Chelsea being idiots with the draws v Brighton and Leeds, and somehow conspiring to lose to Arsenal. THOSE results are egregious. Us not getting points from 2 hastily arranged fixtures aren't the reason why the Scousers were let back in.
They were rested from the extra game ludicrously crammed in,
They weren't actually rested in real terms, as we played a day after you had last played anyway.
And yet we're only 7 points ahead of a Liverpool side who were in relegation form for a third of the season. The bumbling idiots couldn't show up against our biggest rivals, if not just for personal pride.
If I speak...
I know right, the CAF is full of self loathing individuals
We had our chance and blew it. Well done lads for understanding the rivalry
It's really not good enough from United.
Chelsea lose v Arsenal and we're the dickheads!I know right, the CAF is full of self loathing individuals
