In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Glik has been immense this match.
PSG look shite without verratti

I can't believe that Monaco got him while most big clubs were looking for CBs.
Well-done Monaco. Fully deserved draw.
Former Torino captain. Those are big shoes to fill
Yup, he was pretty cheap too iirc., he's been great for Torino (been promoted to their captain) and Poland so it's a bit funny that he seems to have been overlooked.
Slightly uninspiring performance so the draw is fair. The title race will be tough!
Out of Monaco's usual midfield four of Silva, Fabinho, Bakayoko, and Lemar, Bakayoko is clearly the worst, which says a lot about how good the other three are.
Meunier is absolutely outstanding. I rate him highly. Always been impressed with him with the Belgian NT & he looks like he's adjusted in Ligue Un.
Monaco play Nice in the derby next week with both sides joint top on 49 points.
I don't watch Torino but I have heard for at least 3 seasons that he was the best CB outside of Chiellini and Bonucci. I have to admit that I was skeptical because no one really tried to sign him but he is class. It's incredible that Monaco completely changed the central defense with only two picks, Jemerson is good too.
And all season long too. Really impressed by him.
Glik's a very good player so I'm not surprised to see he's doing as well as he is. Would've liked us to go for him.
Yeah. He was replaced by Matuidi who isn't in a good shape since many months.
There is a gap between the French and Belgia leagues so I expect him to improve.
I guess he played a key role in the performances of Poland in the last seasons.

As usual, no Verratti no party. Lack of fluidity on the whole this season.
Thought it was quite a good match, it lacked more clear cut chances to make it more exciting, but the technical and tactical level was quite good. The draw was probably a fair result, I thought Monaco were better as a team but PSG had very good chances too, so I don't think either team can really complain with the result. A bit disappointed with PSG's performance, given they were playing at home. Matuidi had a very poor match, technically he's quite limited and usually he can compensate with his incredible physique, but he hasn't been great this year I think.
Chambly make it 3-3 after being 3-0 down at home to Mónaco in the cup! Mónaco playing with 10 men.
I've been watching this game and Monaco have lost their composure. Full-time whistle has gone and now it'll be extra-time. Very frustrating.
2 goals from 2 set-pieces by Monaco after extra-time and it's now 3-5. Impressive with 10 men and a relief.
That took a lot of compusure. It's good to see them answering like that to a terrible second half
Chambly got one back but it just ended after extra-time. 4-5 final score
Extremely impressed with Mbappe's work-rate and stamina. Kept pressing their defence and keeper non-stop even in extra-time after playing from the start while his team-mates wilted like flowers.

He's great. First time I watched him play he destroyed a very talented Portugal team in the U-19 Euro semifinal and it's since been pretty obvious he's going to be a superb player
Manchester City - Monaco soon
Metz just scored a gorgeous Giggs at Lille free-kick with 9 minutes to go against Marseille.
Really looking forward to Monaco v Nice.
Is no one watching the South Coast, table-topping derby between Monaco and Nice?!
Monaco just scored their second, Falcao tap-in after a second Mendy assist. It's a great game to watch. 2-0 with half an hour to go.
Very happy for Monaco if they hold on. They've had a couple of bad results in the big games this season but this will be huge.

Balotelli offside again when he shouldn't be. Classic Balo
Falcao again 3-0. Mendy
I love watching Monaco play. Falcao makes it 3-0 and game over
Monaco will terrorise City's back 5. No way will City not concede over 2 legs.
Disappointing performance from Nice. Expected a bit more than that. Monaco, however, were really efficient.
Hope Monaco can hold on. They really deserve to win the title this season.
C'mon PSG. Would be typical for them to fail when I want them to win.
Phew. I am never going to bet on PSG again. Monaco is where its at.
Sign Mendy to be our left back, he's been brilliant this season.
Did anyone just see Lyon's epic meltdown in the last minute of their derby at Saint-Ettiene? They were losing 2-0 and their players completely lost it, Ghezzal and Tolisso both basically assaulting the same guy in separate incidents within 30 seconds and both sent off, then Tolisso kicked one of the Saint-Ettiene officials in the tunnel, you need to see it to really get it, any chance anyone can attach a video of the last 2 minutes of the game? @GifLordIf you thought Chelsea vs Spurs last season was a shining example of impeccable discipline...
Monaco at Montpelier. Lemar free-kick, Glik header, 1-0.
Counter-attack, Mbappe murders everyone with his pace in behind and finishes with ice in his veins. 2-0.
Napoli are probably the only team in Europe that are more exciting than Monaco (currently).
