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.

I'm not happy we lost but I'm still a disgrace.
Also Crackers like this post if you are a rapist.

Secured the group stage of what?
We got dumped out the league Cup at home to league 1 Coventry in 07/08, we must of been really shit that year........
no uuu
They may not be happy per say but I've heard some talking that we apparently played well.
Like a team consisting of plenty 40-75m GBP done wel to lose against West Ham at home, registering one shot on target along the way.

Yeah, no opinions allowed unless you're a multi-time winner of the world cup, only then can you judge Ole.
Cherrypicking at its finnest, if you just look hard enough into that 27 years of Sir Alex and you'll find amazing data that can work as an excuse for Ole.
We didnt get over the UCL group stage? BOOM! 2004-05 season....we got out in first round carabao cup 2007/08 season.... always works, keep it up.
I am a season ticket holder, and I gave up my 2 seats tonight. I had the option to keep them, but I knew it would be a second string team, and lets be honest, it's fairly difficult to get excited by the league cup. I am disappointed that we went out, but mainly because I think it is a great opportunity to give the full squad a run out. Keep them fit, let us look at who is coming through, who should be in the first team. It also gives non season ticket holders an opportunity to see a game, many of which are local schools who were given tickets. So for those reasons I am sad. But I won't be losing any sleep over it and I probably wont even think about it tomorrow.
Well plaid, you sycophant.
They're not opinions, they're a echo chamber of negative feedback certain people thrive on.
Not happy, but couldn't care less, this cup is the least meaningful out of the ones we can win. Especially since it was renamed after a fecking energy drink
Not happy per se, really more of a copium after a poor result.
Though I would say that if you are happy about the defeat then you are an idiot.
But tbf, I think most people are at most disappointed though somewhat indifferent which is probably the best way to see a defeat in the 3rd round of the league cup.
We can save the meltdown if we crash out of the champions league again at the group stage or we fall out of the title race at Christmas.

Who is happy we lost?
I'm chuffed. It's all too positive otherwise.
Yes we did had defeats. But problem is that it is not just this defeat. Yb were not just one CL game. It is happening for years now. We are crashing out from cups and everytime it is "oh well, it is just a cup. It happens". Yes, it can happen but feck me, when it happens 10 times in a row then it becomes a standard.
To be fair we aren’t crashing out this early. It’s usually semi finals or finals. Ole actually has a fantastic overall record in cup games
Exactly and just add the performance in the context as well . We play the same way where we look like we are trying hard and we were close but in reality we create very little.
Guys, we lost a game. It is the league cup. It’s nothing to get worked up about. I think everyone would have liked to win, but when we did not, I for one must confess that it makes me "happy" for our long run. I am just not bothered that much. Progressing in this cup will also just be an distraction.
I have hopes for this season and that’s maybe naive. I don’t care, we can do it.

They are not fans. I hate how shit this world we live in are. Too many United fans are shit.
Iv not mentioned Ole. No idea why you are. I was making a point that the league Cup hasn't mattered to us for many years and we have often gone out early fielding weakened sides. Just that 07/08 at home to Coventry come to mind first.
Not happy, but this was by far the least important game of our season
We really can't afford to be turning our noses up at a trophy. Ole needs silverware or he's just going the way of Poch at Spurs, a nearly man. Win something, then you can get picky.
BECAUSE MY CHILDREN ARE SLOWLY TRYING TO KILL ME AND I NEED TO LIE DOWN IN A HEDGE TO TRY GET SOME SLEEP, ELVIS.
You're totally missing the point.
So that’s our standard now? Holy feck people need to stand behind the manager and players.
I'm gutted that we lost. And that we did so while making so many changes and making it a self imposed, avoidable loss.
The modern attitude of fans and managers towards domestic cup competitions drives me mad. Managers know that they're judged by the fans and media by how they do in the league - doing nothing in the cups won't matter so long as they're doing well in the league, and a good cup run won't save them from the sack if they're struggling in the league - so they just pick weakened teams in cup games regardless of how necessary just to prioritise the league campaign.
And that's at all levels. I go on a few lower league teams fan sites and their fans are the same - 'rest players in the League Cup, EFL Trophy, etc, as the league games are all that matters'. It's infuriating how cup competitions are now seen as 'pointless' or 'a burden'.

We're usually losing cup games in the later rounds. As @cyberman said our record under Ole in the cups has been good. We just seem to fall short in the semi finals and final.
It would've been nice to win a cup but I'm not getting too worked up about it. I thought we played well enough to win considering the starting 11 we put out there and we were clearly denied a stonewall penalty.
Yeah I don’t really care either. I am a bit fecking annoyed about us failing to ever get a single good result under Ole without playing our strongest possible XI. As in, not once. That’s a hell of a concerning trend. And bothers me way more than getting knocked out of this poxy cup.
Who is happy. I'm pissed cause it's one less trophy and not winning anything have really become our thing.
My bad, it's just that similar cases had been made on the forum and I'm just tired of excuses.
But agree with you, the carabao cup is not an important cup at all. But that doesn't make it acceptable to go out in the first round while playing at Old Trafford.
We often get knocked out by inferior teams in this later rounds and that final.
1. Some cope with disappointment this way, we’ve won nothing for ages and perhaps it’s easier for some fans to swallow another early cup exit by pretending they didn’t care at all
2. Some genuinely don’t rate domestic cup competitions, which I could very well understand in Fergie times, but now find quite peculiar considering our drought
3. Some are convinced the club is managed poorly and will go nowhere with Ole in charge, hence they believe every loss gets us closer to a change and another manager (We’ve seen that under Jose and LvG too)

Not a mind reader but a couple of obvious points would be the utterly awful officiating which certainly cost us an equalizer in the first half which would have changed the game, Tony Martial having been give an opportunity deciding to piss it away by playing musical statues and most obviously the fact that that raging thundercnut Mark Noble was not crushed by a falling 10 tonne weight Roadrunner style which he richly deserved.
Not worried. Played ok with a C tier team.
The crappiest of all competitions. And after seeing every top team went through it's too much struggle to win it, and probably not worth it.
Now we'll be rested for spurs in October and not much else.
Oh and probably now martial will be gone and with Cavani gone we'll have to go for Haaland (or Kane)

How comes he doesn't mention point 1 by putting pressure on the refs then? He laughs off everything.
And how comes he never took Martial off if he's so bothered about it?
Are you sure it's the points you mentioned, because it doesn't seem so
Yeah its a dissapointing result, but its not worth getting worked up over the league Cup.
It's a shame as you'd have hoped this competition would provide a few more chances for our youngsters against the weaker sides
Why are you unhappy that people are happy
