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?
Jose knows whats up
Have the FA said anything yet, or are they still doing the forensics on Wayne Shaw's pie?
Mings shoved Zlatan who threw him to the floor early on. That's what started it all off.
I'm sure they will have been at it off the ball all game but the stamp went too far and could have killed him.
I'd be very surprised if the FA punish him like he's guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt. I expect a compromised sentence. And Mings did himself a favour by totally denying it, crafty bugger. His lawyer will do the rest.
No way Zlatan is a cherub in all this, though nothing can legitimise a head stamp!
Yeah but still, cheap shot perhaps but stamp on the head? Not really a true retaliation, more like a kill move
I had to watch the replay twice because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. 100% intentional and when you see the force Mings used he is lucky he isn't charged with manslaughter. Sounds OTT but that could have easily snapped his neck or caused brain damage. The elbow was also 100% intentional but it pales in comparison to the stamp.
Yes that's what started the whole battle, interesting that Friend thought that only worthy of a talking too from Ibrahimovich to himself, yet Surman's much less aggressive push was worthy of a second yellow and a red.
Anyway that's by the by, if you watch the whole incident from the right angle IMHO Ibrahimovich attempts to stamp on Mings but misses him. Mings loses the plot and retaliates with an inexcusable stamp in return.
The ref lost control of this match much earlier and had a shocker.
The referee was absolutely abysmal. He definitely lost control.
Yes he was, I'm not a criticiser of officials but this was a disgraceful performance by Friend and his assistants.
I'm not sure about Ibrahimovic trying to stamp on his leg. If he does he totally missed and doesn't use much force.
Mings should be looking at a very long ban.
Tyrone Mings: "I would never do that deliberately. It's not part of my game, I'm all about hard and fair."
Well he would say that wouldn't he?
Of course it isn't sweetheart.
I'm pretty sure he does attempt to stamp or should we say stand on Mings but he does as you say miss him.
If it was down to me Mings would get 10 games and Ibrahimovich 3.
Of course its deliberate. Both the elbow and the stamping. Funny thing is Zlatan stamped on an opponents head when he played for PSG. Almost looks identical to this incident but not as bad. Maybe Mings was inspired by Zlatan. He should get suspended. Zlatan one game. Mings three.
Ibra's opinion:
It will be interesting to see what happens with Ibrahimovic. I'm not sure of the rules now on retrospective action now. 3 would be top end for an elbow but couldn't complain.
It looked totally deliberate to me, it seems like all concerned are playing things down a bit as they could both face retrospective bans.
Ibra is a cnut of the highest order. He was even stomping on players heads for fun while playing in France. You can like him all you want because he's one of yours, but that guy got away with murder way too many times in his career.
What does this have to do with today sorry?
Not sure how things working process wise when it comes to this type of situation,will players be called to give statements in same time? If so,wouldnt be surprised that both cover each other,so neither get banned for X amount of games.
It's not a red card offense if it's unintentional. It WAS intentional though. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Amazing post. First time I've actually laughed for real at a post on here. I needed that. Cheers.
Watched it loads of times and I still can't decide if it was intentional or not. Lucky I'm not on the FA's panel for this 
Just a reminder for those posters still in shock because of what they just witnessed.
Oh and btw, this is how clearly intentional looks like:
Again what does this have to do with today?
Seriously man !
Looks like you got some agenda today considering the events of today's match ?
Are you too saying Mings' wasn't intentional?
Jailtime for Mings.
Yeah, same. Watched the replay a bunch of times and I'm not seeing the little glance down you'd expect if he was deliberately aiming his foot at something/someone.Watched it loads of times and I still can't decide if it was intentional or not. Lucky I'm not on the FA's panel for this
From another angle it does look intentional.

I could marry you
There seemed to be alot going on between Zlatan and Mings from early today and Ibra looked a little off. I don't care if Zlatan threw him down or kicked out Mings was interntional and dirty as hell. He shouldn't play again this season and Zlatan should be punished hard for his elbow (3 games). Just because Ibra's done it before doesn't make it ok for Mings to do it. That was as nasty as they come. Honestly, he could have killed him. Zlatan may be a cnut and may have done this himself before but the issue today is with Mings. It doesn't how angry there were at each other, Zlatans elbow was a jaw breaker (Mings must have a tough chin) but Mings stamp was the kind of thing that get a person 3 years off the pitch.
Looked like he got a bad injury so I don't think any ban is going to affect him
Didn't he get injured? He will miss more than 3 games anyway.. So who cares what the FA does to him.
