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?!

That could just mean he follows Statman Dave on Twitter.
Think your keyboard might be broken.
He might be right but he's just quoting the thoughts in his head. Calls to mind that post on the caf last year (?) by the ex-football journalist who said nowadays members of his former profession type up guesswork because they don't have access to players and haven't got a fecking scooby. plus John Cross's voice instantly subtracts credibility from his opinions, voice like a friendless radio traffic reporter.
I always tell myself I won't get sucked in and it never works, looks like I'm going to have to set up camp on this page
Never going to understand people who would prefer Ozil over Sanchez. One is absolutely world class while the other disappears at the first sign of trouble. Not that ozil isnt a good player, just that Sanchez is exactly the player Utd have been crying out for, for a very long time.
I'm the same. We need more signed matchballs and Chilevision.
I dunno. He is a sneaky bastard that Jose.
Dani Alves only wanted to play for Pep, until PSG came along.
I thought it was a video of the late Keith Chegwin discussing the latest news on Sanchez, which to be fair would have been a hell of a turn up.As for the saga itself, I'm trying not to get excited because I don't see us drawing Sanchez in ahead of Guardiola's City.
The British journos are going by past briefings from City. The Italian media and di Marzio are going by agent connections. Will see who's right soon enough.
Di Marzio is so focused on giving us hope so that the shock will be even stronger.
He will have a number of representatives that would be involved in any deal.
This gives me flashbacks to Pep's press conference where he announced Thiago
Maybe a stupid question but other than being his former manager, are there any quotes (since they went separate ways) to suggest Sanchez has a semi for Pep?
The derby will definitely be a much more enjoyable experience if we were to steal Sanchez from City. Still not hopeful though. Given his wage demands, I think he's more likely using us to force their hand.
It'll be like the Keystone Cops at the presser come 17:30, all wanting to be the first to ask the question that's on everybodies lips
"When are you moving out of the Premier Inn Jose"

You can get 4/5 on him joining City now. Might lump a bit on that. Don't think it's gonna get much better.
It's pretty subjective and they're entirely different players. Ozil is unquestionably a world class player in terms of technique - Very few can do what he does and statistically he's among the most consistent creators in world football. I think his issues of going missing are pretty overstated and simply a result of playing for a mediocre side. He's not the only one who's struggled at times for Arsenal but always the first to be highlighted.
Sanchez's style will always see him more involved but he's prone to the odd shocker as well where he may not "go missing" but will be incredibly wasteful. Most Arsenal fans I know have been more keen to secure Ozil for a while, although that may be them being resigned to losing Sanchez. Either would improve us instantly.
Yeah, I'm going with this...
We're being sucked in lads, he's going to City, he's always been going to City.
This suits Arse (get more money) and suits Sanchez (needs more interest to get same terms he'd agreed with City when he was coming on a free).
We're being strung along.
We can give them Mkhitaryan. Would be the best solution for all parties.
"How's Rooney doing these days?"
How much do City actually want him? They are absolutely stacked for forward players and he'd be rotated a fair bit. I know they are oil rich but will they pay over the odds in fee and wages if they really don't need the player.
I would be in full muppet mode if we bought him. I wanted him since he was available from Barcelona, I can still not understand how Arsenal managed to buy him with no rival bids from any of the big clubs. He is exactly what we need right now.
I would be gutted if he moved to City. As if they need any more forwards anyway.

He'd defo get WAY more game time here.
Unless Guardiola has promised him the CF role, which he may have done.
Whilst you might be right, don't listen to John Cross. 99% of his tweets and articles are opinion pieces. He's absolutely clueless when it comes to transfers.
at least your not me. I am in a different league of idiots.
I think with the injury to Jesus they will, they aren't exactly stacked centrally in the forward department.
Happy new Year!
Was thinking same but that'd depend on Sanchez wanting to come here.
Well, I hope he's wrong on this one.
I think what he's saying makes it so obvious though.
We're being used by Arse and Sanchez to get more money, where without our interest they'd have no leverage at all.
And you don't think United have considered that? Woodward has had his fair share of this stuff - Ramos, Ronaldo et al. What's clear is that our interest is genuine, otherwise all it'd take is a single line press briefing on our part to deny the rumours. Woodward/Mourinho clearly think their is enough substance in pursuing a deal.
Manchester United used to be listed as his favourite club on Football Manager when he was playing in Italy
I did that bet on Skybet recently that refunded the tenner as cash, so I had a tenner sitting in my account. Just put £1.54 on Sanchez staying at Arsenal which will return my tenner if he stays, and the rest on him joining City.
If he joins us - happy days. I won't care about losing a tenner with a signing like that.

Not happening lads. It's just not happening.
