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?
Summer:
Swimming
Track
Gymnastics
Winter:
Skiing (Alpine and Nordic)
Hockey
The rest is all balls.
Yes there is certainly the rink aspect, but I can't quite understand why you rich bastards wouldn't construct rinks in the first place. It's quite puzzling really given the sports popularity in the area.
Yanks win over the Swiss in the first game, no shocks there. Will try to stay up for Canada - Norway which will quite obviously be a blow-out.
Apparently these are Sweden's lines for the first game against Germany tomorrow.
Daniel Sedin– Henrik Sedin – Mattias Weinhandl
Mattias Öhlund – Tobias Enström
Peter Forsberg – Henrik Zetterberg – Patrik Hörnqvist
Nicklas Lidström – Nicklas Kronwall
Loui Eriksson – Nicklas Bäckström – Daniel Alfredsson
Henrik Tallinder – Magnus Johansson (GTFO)
Johan Franzén – Samuel Påhlsson – Fredrik Modin
Douglas Murray – Johnny Oduya
Henrik Lundqvist
Stefan Liv
Jonas Gustavsson
I kind of like the idea of going for depth, but the first line looks like the second or even third best and I'm really hoping Franzén won't spend the whole tournament on the fourth line. Switch with Horny, please.
Also, there is no way Magnus Johansson deserves that spot ahead of Murray or Oduya. He's a nice PP guy, but way to soft. This isn't the EHT.
Furthermore I hope Lidström - Kronner will be the top pairing, which is an obvious call.

The Olympics are dead to me. I regret ever starting this thread.
Despite being 7-0 down to Canada, I think Norway has done quite well. Which sounds ridiculous, obviously, but I think they've battled well and been unlucky and/or slightly clumsy in front of the goal a couple of times. A couple of the goals were given away a bit too easily as well. And the refs are dishing out fouls for touching the Canadians, whereas they don't even get sent off for tackling at head-height. Got better after they got their two-goal advantage. But the Canadians are about 100 times better than Norway, so I doubt it would have made much of a difference.
Helene Olafsen fell in the boardercross final, the curling team got beat by 7-6 by Canada, Hegle Svendsen and Bjørndalen fecked up and Super-G was postponed. Great day for Norway :| Good on the swedes, though. Ferry is a great guy, funny fecker too. Fully deserves his medal! Kalla dominated the 10 km. You swedes must be grinning from ear to ear? Looks like I'll have to root for you tossers in the hockey finals
Can't really see Norway getting anything from a group consisting of Canada, USA and Switzerland.

Can't really see Norway getting anything from a group consisting of Canada, USA and Switzerland.I have not watched a lot of Curling in my life, but Canada's captain (don't know if that is what it is called, he is the older, balding guy) is pretty spectacular at what he does.
Also, can't wait to see Forsberg play again. It was a pleasure watching him play his best hockey with Colorado, and even though I am Canadian, I hope he can show the world again why he is one of the best of his generation.

Yeah I love Forsberg hopefully he still has some still left in the tank
Forsberg has done quite well in the SEL. Watched him recently and it looked like he wasn't in top shape, but he was playing his typical game. Made some amazing passes, was pissed off and hit anything that moved. Err... that came out wrong.
I think the Forsberg-Zetterberg-Hörnqvist line will be fun to watch. Can't wait for tonight's game.

I'm watching a load of guys in frilly costumes prancing round on the ice and it's... actually really good.
Am I gay?

Be careful Count I have fell into that trap beforeI'm watching a load of guys in frilly costumes prancing round on the ice and it's... actually really good.

Used to have the same feeling before.I'm watching a load of guys in frilly costumes prancing round on the ice and it's... actually really good.

This clip is both gay and awesome at the same time.
Sprint soon it should be fun don't you agree Elliott?
Snowboard cross has been excellent and I laughed out loud when that American bint fell over in the final.
Are you sitting there nice and cozy in your Uggs?I'm watching a load of guys in frilly costumes prancing round on the ice and it's... actually really good.

I had never heard about Uggs until recently. Tempted to buy a pair Grinn?
Another nasty example of disregard for athlete safety as Slovenian cross country ace Petra Majdic misses a curve and falls 3 meters. Put up a net ffs.
I may be watching the women's downhill competition with my sexist glasses on but are the females a lot more vertical in their approach than the men who seems to dive more headfirst into it? I just glanced up and immediately thought the woman racing was already disqualified and couldn't be bothered. I was wrong.
Great run by Mancuso.
Ouch! Fall! Where the feck are the medics?
They seem to have forgotten about the athletes safety at these Olympics.
If a caveman makes a post in the Olympic thread, does it make a sound?
When somebody falls going 110km/h downhill it shouldn't take a minute before the medics arrive. She didn't look to be seriously injured but still..
I'm already looking forward to Anja Pärsons excuses
I can see a lot of people having trouble beating Mancuso's time. She really went at it, riding a lot more aggressive than the rest of the racers so far. Seeded group still to come though.
Anja Pärsson looks like a meatball

Another fall. This one looked like a dive tbh.
Halfpipe tonight !!!
Nobody cares, Norway won't win.
Vonn now.. Takes the lead early..
Takes the lead with half a second, that was the Olympic champion right there.
I knew it. Pärson is a bottler hope she is alright though
Did she fall? News here now, and I forgot to change the channel.
Yep right before the finish she was in second place then...
Second place, not bad, I think Mancuso's time will be hard to beat.
I just saw Petra Majdic's fall. What the hell were they thinking not putting up a net there?? Disgraceful.
Oh, nasty fall by Pärsson. Hope she's ok.
Vonn has that girl next door look
Yeah, there better be a net there when the QFs start and the fight for positions is on. If not it could get ugly.
Jönsson out! Three Norwegians in the final! Get the feck in!!
