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?

premier league bound anyway. Good control and skill, a bit of pace and will cause teams problems with his running on and off the ball. Will probably be Arsenal that try and get him on their books
Thought he was linked with the Scousers no ? A few months ago.
love his name, heh
If he's supposed to be a striker he's got a shit record.
I don't think he deserves a massive troll face, get some videos of him.
He's having a good game.

Maybe he came on for the last 5 minutes 60 times. Is possible.
He'll probably end up being premier league quality, but i doubt he'll end up in a top 5 club. However i accept i may be way off the mark as im judging on only his statistical record and performance tonight.
3 goals in 59 appearances doesnt exactly say much though.

Kick and run merchant.
He's Palace's top scorer with 5 this season. Not to say he's a consistant goalscorer, but thats what the commentary stated earlier
fryers has his number. Zaha looking to come inside more and more.
Burnt out in the second half.
First 20 mins and last 20 mins, nothing in between.
yeah faded a lot in the 2nd
His crossing is really good. Seems destined to hit the Prem soon... Villa maybe?
Disagree about his crossing. The vast majority of his attempts were just for the sake of it not really putting them in believing they'd create goals. He can work on that. The rest of his game looked good. But from about 45 minutes to about 80 minutes he was putting his feet up, resting somewhere. Then at the end of the game and in extra time he had his second wind
Don't know what to make of him yet. He's got speed, he's brave and he can carry the ball. He annoyed us tonight.
any relation to EL Zahar?
No, their surnames are different
His performance reminded me a little about when we played Sporting Lisabon and Ronaldo completely an*l ra*ed our defense.
Would get totally found out in the prem.
Decent player by the looks of things, another to come through the Palace youth team. Bit of an overeation though, he looked decent but it was one game. Has a long way to go before he can be considered Premiership quality, imo.
Scannell and Moses were even more highly rated when they broke through, Scannell lost his place and has only started playing regularly this season under Freedman, while Moses isn't exactly setting the world alight at Wigan.

Kyle Da Silva at Palace will become some player
Everton should snatch him up.
Zaha to Saha

Did he do anything but run at the full backs the whole night? 1 or 2 crosses, that came to nothing. Lots of running, not end product. Zeke seemed to have the measure of him as he was pretty much absent in the second half till he switched to the other side
He had no idea what to do on the left. If he got some time on the ball he ran with it across the pitch to the right.
the only reason he looked good was because Bambi was playing left back for us
Palace say both us and Liverpool are interested in him so says SSN
Unbelievable Skills this kid. No room for another winger though.
I thought he was MOM in last night's semi, Cardiff only stopped him by chopping him down repeatedly which imo the ref was far too lenient towards; he should have provided Zaha with far more protection than he was given. Zaha's pace on the turn, sprinting speed and acceleration is phenomenal, these qualities combined with his strength meant he was able to regularly beat one or sometimes even two heavy challengers and come away rapidly accelerating with the ball at his feet. I admit that I've seen nothing of him other than last night's game (I missed the Palace/United game due to work), but if the match was a typical demonstration of his play then he's got a very bright future ahead of him, he's no doubt destined for the Premier League. He came across as being a little petulant and the home crowd targeted him with chants of 'Cheat!', but this was unfair on the lad as he was clearly being repeatedly targeted by the Cardiff players who apparently had no means of stopping him other than bringing him down; he had every right to be petulant as Howard Webb wasn't giving him a fecking chance. At nineteen years of age he seems to me a very exciting prospect.
Nah he is no Bebe!
He's certainly not that. The term 'Bebe' should be censored on this site. Anyway, this Tyneside based rag today reckons Newcastle are in for him, but that they face competition from both Liverpool and United:

I wouldn't be at all surprised at such a move given his performance last night.
You can always tell a player has something special when the opposition resigns to constant fouling to stop him!
He is a special talent indeed - would hate to see him move to Liverpool!

yeh im suprised there isnt more discussion on him. He made our second string defence look like fish out of water.
Very talented. Good skill, excellent pace.
deceptively strong and he always works hard in defence.
I have only seen the two cardiff games and united game, but still impressive when hes on song.

Whose quicker Zaha or OX?
Difficult to say. There was one particular moment last night in the first half when the Clyne was chasing a long ball over his head back towards his own goal. He must have had a five meter head start on Zaha but Zaha tazzed it up behind him like fecking a Greyhound and very nearly won the ball when he had no right to have even got close; Oxlaide-Chamberlain looked similarly lightening fast once or twice against us last Sunday. It'd be an interesting race.
