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?
ffsHe's completely finished sadly. He's not even fit for relegation fodder in the Prem.
He should have went to the MLS.

This made me laugh.
I don't know why, but it reminded me of this from last season:
It's a complete mystery to me why anyone has any hope left. This is payback to Everton for Moyes. I know it wasn't their fault Moyes happened, but through Rooney at Everton I find petty joy in a small way. Have that, Everton, ha!
It feels good to see him doing this crap performance for someone else rather than us. Finally he's not our problem anymore.
Those who thought he may return to his form in Everton were kidding themselves. Rooney is done as a player at this level of football since 2 years. He should have left EPL but his ego prevents him from accepting the fact.
Anyway again it's not our problem anymore.

Part of why I don't really want Gylfi to go to Everton. There's not much for him there if he's going to play with Rooney who's not going to play a proper striker and constantly get in the way.
But yea, sorry Everton fans. He's not good enough to play as a sub in the PL anymore.

I remember it well.Might be pre-season but it sounds like it's history repeating itself only now with Everton supporters.
Is everyone forgetting that a lot of people on here were told to shut up (less polite than that) when this was blatantly obvious 3-4 seasons ago? Eventually, all the same suspects who thought he would turn it around, silently accepted that he was shit. Then it just turned into the sanctimonious drivel like "stop insulting him, our fans are so embarrassing, he's a legend! I feel so sorry for Rooney
Everton supporters have caught on much more quickly to their credit. Though, they've had a fair widespread warning prior to the transfer, including more of the media turning on him (or basically reporting the facts that he's finished) recently to give them a heads up. I await the stories that he thinks Koeman is standing in his way of reinventing himself as a defensive midfielder.
Just so happy we finally got rid, 3-4 years too late, and he's no longer our problem to tear our hair out over anymore.
Wonder if some Everton fans will start accusing others of having an agenda against poor Wayne.
Or is his shiteness just too obvious now...This is a pay back for fellani not moyes.
I just read that Wayne thread in the Everton forum and man, it really made my day.

My favourite from the match thread:I just read that Wayne thread in the Everton forum and man, it really made my day.
Oh really?
It's that common (now PTSD inducing) excuse from the past few seasons. He's still brilliant deep down, he just looks shite because he's a bit fat and broken - just keep playing him and pray for a miracle.
This should be a prime example of the sunken cost fallacy.
Some there are just repeating all the excuse we were giving him for years, but it seems they were realize it faster after his downfall with us. By Jan it will be hard to find anyone there still trying to defend him.My favourite from the match thread:

Some of the posts are brilliant with the mickey taking.
And it looks like Coleen logged in:
I'm afraid any future business dealings with Everton will be poisoned for the next 10 years, as soon as they realize what has happened here.
I disagree. Koeman is a competent manager. This was a free transfer that will generate a decent amount of commercial interest. That was the play here. No one but Sam Allardyce would argue that Rooney still has something to offer a top club in Europe.
The chip attempt
Glad to see he is maintaining the standards expected of him at Everton now.
Over on that Everton forum someone has started a thread about where the pace will come from. That's what watching Rooney play twice for you will do. Dear god, he was just fecking horrible last night. I'm so grateful Everton went in with blind sentimentality and took him off of us.
I was considering Everton players for my fantasy team, and as far as I recall Everton have an absolutely brutal start to the season, with something like 4 of their 5 first matches being against City, Chelsea, Spurs and us and most of them being away as well. Everton could very well be bottom of the table by mid September, and Rooney might be in for a whole lot of stick.
I don't know about others but it's schadenfreude I'm feeling.
I've been trying to convince people for years, he's finished. Never coming back. His body is shot.

Wish we sold him to Chelsea.
Would have been lovely seeing shedend in a civil war over him.

Feck sakeThe chip attempt
I remember when he scored one once and he seemed to go through a phase after of trying to chip the keeper every game for a while, regardless of how tall he was/if he was even off his line.
Yup pure schadenfreude and just joy he's not our problem.
The most amusing thing is them suddenly seeing what the chip attempts and cross ball attempts really are, useless attempts by Rooney to show his skills.
He'll get Koeman the sack.
I still think he'll have a decent goal scoring season and end up doing alright with the lower expectations at Everton.
But feck if it isn't funny that they're already realising United fans weren't lying to them and he really is in sharp decline.

gif?The chip attempt
It's funny reading some of them trying to rationalise his performance. They'll catch on soon enough.
The sad part for Rooney, unlike with us, he has no credit in the bank for Everton and Koeman doesn't suffer fools.
I don't believe when he said, he was sad to see him go.
SAF knew he was declining in 2013. Feck me Fergie always knew better.
at least we wont be frustated again seeing him with United shirt on the field. enjoy it, everton!
Was just laughing at the post, surely you wouldn't a gif for it, we saw it thousands of times.
I can't believe we still had a few people on here who thought a change in scenery would make any difference to his performances.
Unless he has a body transplant he's finished.
Why do people want him to do so badly?
I know he was a twat at times but he still did a lot to please the fans.

Rooney match vs Hull I think, 14/15 last match of the season. Was when I realised this guy is totally finished while the Caf backed him to score 20 to 25 goals the following season. He just hasnt got it anymore.
I feel a bit conflicted about this.
On the one hand it would have been genuinely nice to see him rediscover form at his boyhood club.
On the other, I hope he's as dreadful for them as he was for us, to prove we've done the right thing in letting him go.
Suspect I'm not the only person with such sentiments.

I don't think people want him to fail. Its more relief we don't have to deal with his untouchable status anymore. and what he's shown so far is predictable
Oh go suck on a selleri.
On a serious not though I can see him retiring after this upcoming season.
I'm loving this, to be honest. I don't necessarily have anything against Everton but its good to see our actions being proven correct. It's gonna be a long season for Wayne's mates in the media.
