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.

We've been discussing this all night and no doubt will for ages yet.
But the speech, have some humility at least. If you have faith he's actually going to reflect good on you, but just like Thornberry earlier, it's going to be the obvious excuses.
Swinson dignified in defeat tbf to her.
SNP generally doing better than I expected, thought Conservatives would fight them harder. Will probably be the real opposition to the Tories now.
Lib Dems on the other hand have missed an open goal, almost Lukaku like.

Are LibDems more liberal than Labor? I need an analogy to US pols if that’s even remotely applicable
She'll be on only fans like fecking Karen Danczuk.
To be fair it's not as if Brexit and the press weren't major factors here. Did someone say that the sun haven't lost an election since 1974?
Obviously there were failings on his side but we'd be daft to ignore the effects of those things.
Paul Mason speaking the most sense of all the Corbyn backers.
Only positive of the night is that I made some money on the conservative majority. What an absolute disaster
No. Basically a centrist movement, fluctuate a few cm either side depending on the context. During their formation they were centre left. Under Swinson they were centre right.
BUT views on BrExit are confused and don’t conform to the traditional left and right wing model.

Amazed how these results coming in, when looking at this forum's poll result. Did you lot not vote in the end?
Tories rack up Rother Valley, Bury South, Lincoln, Penistone Great Grimsby
Aye, fair play to her. I always have respect for major MPs who handle losing their seats with class. Portillo did the same long ago.
It's utterly baffling that Brexit is being used as an "excuse". Of course it was fecking pivotal you knobends. It's one of the most important political decisions of our lifetimes and it's one of the very few things we can directly influence with our vote. If your strategy wasn't built around responding to that first and foremost then it's hardly surprising you got smashed.
So where's the Portillo moment?
The Lib Dems have gained St Albans from the Conservatives.
thanks mate
Profile wise, Swinson. Story of the election wise, Skinner.
Seeing the results tonight I think Momentum were either having people campaigning on or they were completely clueless. A lot of constituencies were considered close and resources were ploughed there to attack. 4k difference in fecking Uxbridge they said it was on the edge. Looking at the other seats around my area they said were ready for flipping Wycombe, MK North & South, Watford all predicted 99% to go Cons. Something isn’t right here.
But...but...it's ok for Corbyn not to have an opinion, nor details of his great plan.
It just makes a mockery of a lot of opinions on this.
The Labour party need to look at just how they got this so drastically wrong, not just use it as an excuse. Add to the list things like not getting through their skulls how unpopular Corbyn actually is, and the lack of dealing with the anti-semite issues quickly.
Britain self harming right now... All these people have treat this like another referendum and gone steaming in thinking about nothing other than Brexit.
I feel for the minorities and the less fortunate right now and I fear for the NHS in the immediate future.... Dark times.
My town has remained a labour town but lost 22% of the vote to the Brexit party.

There's definitely discussion to be had. But I think the obvious excuses cover 80% of the actual reasons.
Someone will do an analysis of where BXP stood / stood down and how this affected Con/Lab. In some examples it's really obvious where the shifts were, but a full picture when all the results are in will be interesting.

They've got so much wrong. You and the others who were out deserve praise for trying though on our behalf.
Meanwhile another Labour guy talking reflection and blaming brexit. This is never going to end is it ffs.
I'm not saying you are, I just think we need to keep these issues in the minds of people because changing out Corbyn won't stop them. We really need to do something about the way press run the elections and campaigns of disinformation because they are anti-democratic in nature.
Any news on Mogg?
Sky are forecasting Labour could get under 200 seats
