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?
Bebe. fecking bargain.
Januzaj starting to show now. Lawrence probably should have started, he's getting the better players going now.
Bebe has been indescribably shit. The difference between him and Keane is probably about 3 goals.

The under 21s has to be a weird time for a young footballer. At u18s level you know you will have at least one season there, probably 2 to give you a good foundation in football and then you will naturally progress to the u21s if you achieve the required standards- but at u21s level the aim is to be there for as short a time as possible.
Once you get to the u21s the key for most players is to get a loan (or at a stretch promotion to the first team) as quickly as possible. I think that could lead to players looking out for themselves more than working for the team to play well, or possible stagnation/loss of motivation if the progression doesn't come quickly enough.

Don't think that Macheda would be here beyond January. I hope we find a buyer and offload Bebe too. There is no point keeping him, he is freaking useless. There is no point keeping either of them. Waste of time for us and for them.
The one I am concerned about is Cole. IMO he has taken a step back this season and doesn't look like the player he was before then. May be it's losing too many of his buddies but he has looked like a passenger in most games this season.

I really cannot believe that Bebe has scored in the Champions League
Wasn't it an own goal?I really cannot believe that Bebe has scored in the Champions League
I think he got the goal credited to his name.
Bebe is like the Portugese Andy Carroll without the ponytail.
Nop. It was against Bursaspsor.
And to think that he cost 7 million...

Worst thing about Bebe is that he's lazy as well as shit. He couldn't be giving any less of a feck at the moment, so we've never got anyone in the box.
Think tonight he is having a dick measuring contest with Xisco over who is the biggest waste of money.
I kept my hopes for some kind of Cinderella story with Bebe but I doubt if he can even be a footballer in the lower divisions. There isn't one thing about his game that shouts a professional footballer.
Which is ironic 'cause before he came to United he pretty much lived in the box.
Well done by Bebe
Now that Bebe got subbed there are none bar Cole on the pitch that I'm actually excited to watch. Oh, how much difference a year has made to our reserves 
FT. Important win.
Good win that. Thorpe MoM.
Lawrence in particular was very good when he came on.
Really? I don't agree. Tom Lawrence and Charni are exciting prospects.Now that Bebe got subbed there are none bar Cole on the pitch that I'm actually excited to watch. Oh, how much difference a year has made to our reserves

Anybody have a link to the under 21 tables?

Yep, I'd much rather see him than Macheda or Bebe. Made a big difference today. Shame Januzaj got taken, off, Lawrence's arrival was starting to bring the best out of him.
Lawrence has gone under the radar a bit. Played with Ravel, Pogba etc when he was 16 and impressed. Last year in the 18s was supposed to be a big year for him but he missed 7 out of the 9 months with injury. Despite that he finished as top-goalscorer even though he plays AM and scored some magnificent goals as well. He is technically fantastic and is also a very intelligent player. Can see him being an important part of the team over the next couple of seasons and definitely one to keep an eye on.
He also once scored a brilliant Bergkamp-eque goal against the dippers;

Thanks to the two of you who posted who had the assists! I'll update the stats.page soon.
FYI the league table and the link to the official table are in the stats page too.

Finally getting to watch it now. Macheda just looks uninterested in this level. His closing down is really lacklustre compared to almost anyone on the books. That will not be impressing SAF or indeed any future club.
Get Bebe fecked off FFS
