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?

He was fantastic tonight. It's as if the ball lights up when he is around. Looking like the most talented english player in a long long time
RIo
Anybody else screamed "Give the fecking ball to rooney"?
Still think Rio is our most important player and our best player on form.
Mega Lolzz
Tbf it's very very close between the two. I wouldnt like to call it, but if I had to I'd just edge for Wayne, but thats by the smallest of margins.
In terms of attacking play though, Rooney is by far our most important player imho.
Rooney is our best player.
Someone ban this feckwit, not just for being soooooo wrong but also for refering to Ronaldo as CR7 , makes me fecking cringe
World class
Definately our best player atm. When him and Ronaldo click, were absolutely unstoppable.
Shame he isn't nominated for the PFA player of the year award. Should really be there.

He is such a fantastic player. I love watching him play, he has everything, passion, skill, pace, power, finishing and a footballing brain. I genuinely believe he can become as good as Ronaldo, if not better.
I LOVE Wayne Rooney.
Legend.
Ran the show today, I'm running out of superlatives. Involved with everything in the second half. His final ball was top notch. Sublime Beckamesque cross to Ronnie for the third.
It's really not important where you'll put Rooney on the pitch. He's bound to make an impact.
So that's 9 assists and 15 goals in all comps. Hope he can finish the season in style and bang in more than 20.

Quite apart from the two crosses for Berbatov and Ronaldo's goals, he also played the sublime pass for Carrick to run onto for the penalty - a move which was almost identical to the Scholes-Carrick combination against Portsmouth.
Up there with Giggs vs Chelsea and Scholes vs Fulham in terms of the best individual performance delivered by a Utd player this season. Inspirational.

even better............
He's fulfilling his potential, lets hope he can keep the trophies coming.
Umm I thought he had 9 assists and 20 goals in all comps..
Yeah I'm sure I heard he was on 18 the other day.
Played a part in all 5 goals today. I could keep complimenting him all day.

yeah, seems to be right, took them off ESPN and they hadn't included the WCC and his brace today, so over 30 then.
Actually shouldn't it be 11 assists now because he got two today?
Does he play better when pushed out to the wing?
Does the cross for Berbs count tho? I mean statistically. As Berbatov put it away in his second attempt.
I think it still counts but I'm not 100% sure
Did Berbatov get an assist when his shot was parried and Park scored against Chelsea? I can't remember, if so then it should count.
Edit: actually it's different I guess because it was Berbatov who had the first shot, but then again he can't have an assist for his own goal...

Wayne Rooney the heartbeat of Manchester United
I'd like to add at this juncture, that Wayne Rooney is World Class
Thank You
Thank You
Totally agree. Best player we have (in my opinion).
Not particularly. The difference is he is allowed to get into the game. It is ridiculous having Berbatov drop deep all the time leaving Rooney to be standing on his own up front. Rooney needs to be in the game. His best position is still up front but the second striker, not playing as practically a lone striker whilst Berbatov patrols the centre circle.
11 assists and 20 goals in all competitions
Allegedly he does not score enough (according to some)?11 assists and 20 goals in all competitions
Was fiiing great in the second half when He is on fire their is no player like Him and I include the great ronaldo,He is like two players in one just incredibly strong has more stamina than a fresh 18 year old coming on for the 85th minute and wakes up to cause danger that's the real rooney.
I still can't believe that some people said he was not the same early this season.
Wayne Rooney is the tits.
We are still wasting him.
he's shite. over rated in my opinion.
20 goals already this season, there is still more to come. Three (?) away from his 100th goal for Manchester United, could be his best season in terms of goals yet. He also scored seven goals for England in 2008/09 (doesn't really matter to most United fans, but obviously to him), so 27 goals is a very good return. Only Ronaldo (23), Anelka (21) and Stevie Starfish (20) managed more or as much in all competitions.
