In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

I can sense sarcasm. It's clear you weren't being sarcastic, unless you wanted to defeat your own argument.
In fairness, I don’t think that will surprise many of us? The ETHFC might pretend to be shocked, but will point to Luke Shaw not been available.
The petty back and forths filling up pages; what on earth do you get from it?
That’s very obviously sarcasm. I don’t actually think that “context” is a great new excuse for our failures under Ten Hag. I actually think it’s just another incredibly weak excuse in a very long line of weak excuses.
My other post listing the reasons to “keep Ten Hag” was definitely tongue in cheek, but was absolutely based on the very real parade of excuses that have been routinely trotted out by you and many others on these pages.
Crazy how Slot and Maresca don’t need 3 years 
Any? I mean look if his job hinges on getting six points from two teams better than us, why bother? Just fire him now.
If we lose badly tomorrow, he could be gone.
Parade of excuses by me you say? Point out a recent example.
I’d file this one under the “we just need to finish our chances” bracket.
If I went through your posting history last season, are you 100% confident I wouldn’t find some injury ones in there?

Obviously hoping we batter them but if we lose this game, he has to go Monday morning. If we lose and he's still there for the next game then I give up.
Flick, Kompany or Motta too.Crazy how Slot and Maresca don’t need 3 years
Ten Hag is surely not a terrible coach but he will never coach us to the next level.
I am not optimistic for tomorrow. Just don't see any positives in our play under this manager.
Struggling to see how someone who supports the club can back this guy.
Maresca has Chelsea battering teams.

Yup, this is where I am too. I voted sack, but deep down hope he can turn it around. But writing off the season before the end of september is unacceptable.
How bad would it have to get this season for you to change your mind
Some of these posters don’t understand that fans of these clubs don’t continue to hope their manager stays on despite being continuously underwhelming and poor for more than a season. These clubs know if the current one is not working, they move on to the next. Ours is the only club where fans talk about honeymoon periods of other managers while being blind to the shite being served up by ours for more than a year.
Come on, deep down you know fans aren't simply writing off the season because of the poor start. It runs much much deeper than that. We should be well past this nonsense now. The second INEOS made the decision to keep on a manager who finished 8th, with a minus goal difference was a massive risk, and predictably hasn't paid off at all.
