- Start date

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?

Lucky for them they can wrap up the title by the first leg against Liverpool.
It's much higher.
Already singing it as I clean the house.Full rendition of blue moon please
Loud and proud like a real noisy neighbour.
Come on City!!!
Blue moon, there’s empty seats over there,there’s empty seats over There, next to a man with no hair.
Good chance on leaving a bad taste on City's "historic" season.
If Liverpool knock them out and we beat them to shit on their title parade all within less than a week, their best season in history will end in April with nothing left to play for, and only the PL and the league cup to show for.
We see that in the EPL even though CL will give it more meaning.Is it? I think City-Pool is one of the most dramatic pairings this draw could offer. We missed out on the clasico, of course
Just seems like the worst combination possible considering all the other ways it could have gone.
Sorry to be a pessimist but I don’t think they have to worry about wrappping up the title...
Heck this could be an absolute barn stormer set of a games if this seasons encounters are anything to go by. Pool perfectly capable of turning anyone over and so are City. Reckon there could be some pretty big scorelines in this one.
Fairly decent consolation prize, I’m sure they’ll be fine.
Love the TV schedules. At least UEFA know their target market.
Not really. They're labeled as the best team in the PL era by a lot of pundits and many predicted them to do the quadruple. I'm sure they will be disappointed with only the PL and LC, not even a domestic double (which is PL and FA).
Pep's time with them is coming to an end and the chances of them replicating that level after he's gone are slim.
The key for the Liverpool-city game is the goals city can score at anfield.
If Liverpool keeps a cs, they'll have a good chance to advance, they are definitey g to score at the emptihad.
If however city scores, then it would be difficult for them, even if they win. A 4-3 would not do it at all.
It's not possible for both of them to lose, but Liverpool have more chances to lose against the other teams in the semis.

Disappointing that draw. I don't know if we will go through or not but would have preferred a proper UCL match and not another EPL tie
Agreed. Also means one of those feckers gets to the semis
So many ABUs on the Have Your Say section on the BBC article:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43430473
Forever in our shadows.
We aren't even in the competition anymore and we are still mentioned in the top rated comments
Forever in our shadows.The Juventus Real Madrid game could go either way, and I don’t know if I would back that Juventus team against Liverpool in the semis.
Good draw. I mean, one of Liverpool or City were always going to make the semis. Thankfully there wont be two of them there.
No idea why so many people are moaning.

Will there be another draw for the semis?
I think you will find the UCL is the only thing left where you are still in OUR shadowSo many ABUs on the Have Your Say section on the BBC article:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43430473

You have won the "UCL" once, we've one it twice.
far more confident on facing Liverpool over two legs rather than one, even in the 4-3 we had 10 mins of madness and should really have been ahead before they went 2-1 up, hopefully Vinny will be fit and we'll possibly have Mendy back who caused them all sorts of problems in the 5-0
296/1 on bet365
Fair point!
If any team can beat City it's Liverpool strangely....
It won't even be close
Liverpool's Kryptonite is Jose. But Zod's been banished far, far away from planet Champions League.
You cared enough to open the thread and post in it.
Also, the way the rest of the draw lined up, one of them will have to likely face the very top teams in order to win the thing
Bad draw becaue you've hidden behind that Mane red card all season long, in typical Liverpool style, like it was the first red card in history to absolve everything that came after it.Liverpool's Kryptonite is Jose. But Zod's been banished far, far away from planet Champions League.
5-0 ...but Mane, he got sent off.
one off game I'd give Liverpool a chance, but over 2 legs City will beat them. I actually fancy City will do them convincingly
But Pep lost against us. Jose hasn't.
Exactly.. That was the only draw I didn't want. Barca, Real, Bayern or Juve would have been much more exciting.
Two trophies before the end of April and nothing left to play for is more than ideal scenario, any fan of any team will consider it a success if their team achieves it.

Nah, it is intangibles we are talking about. International football at knockout stages comes with the weight of the shirts and the memories from the past to inspire the fans and the players. Liverpool are much bigger than City overall and two legs are not the league. They can put a few DVDs on to show the current players who they are historically, City can only think of a clueless SF vs Real a few years ago. Also consider Klopp is a high-octane manager who will pump the first leg at home to get momentum, while the most recent Guardiola campaigns with Bayern all ended with unmitigated disasters.
As long as Liverpool has advantage going into second leg, be it clean sheet or one goal lead, Liverpool should be fine going to Etihad, because than Liverpool can play their game. Away leg can Infact be an advantage to play counter-pressing as counter-pressing is nothing but counter attacking where you try to gain the ball closer to opposition goal, thus giving them lesser time for transition from attack to defense.
I'm in a weird position of thinking City will bury them but have this horrible odd feeling that the Scousers are going to win the whole damn thing
You really think showing some DVDs of past success can drastically improve a sides performance? Maybe Leeds and Forest just need to start showing their players DVDs of their past glories.
The former is 1000 times more likely than the latter. Liverpool would have very little chance against Bayern, Barca or Real/Juve.
