In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
Don't hate the player, hate the game
I couldn’t tell what type of gun it was because it was invisible
Is the biathlon still a thing? I'll happily join in with bashing the celebration if he replaces it with an attempt at miming shooting while skiing down a mountain.
Well invisible guns definitely aren't part of the Olympics
But how do you know for sure?
I’m not sure you’ve ever met any actual kids but let me assure you the vast majority of them spend their evenings and weekends gunning down other people on Fortnite or Call of Duty. So I don’t see how watching a professional footballer pretend to do the same is going to have any kind of negative influence on them?
People complaining about his celebration 
I fecking love it. Its brilliant.
I also love Full Metal Jacket, Apolcolpyse Now and Call of Duty. And Grand Theft Auto too.

Wait till he switches to his Marcel Marceau invisible wall celebration. This place will lose it's shit entirely.
On a good day you just love to watch him. Such a silky player. We didn't have such a beautiful playing striker since Berbatov. I hope he can build on this performance and become an important player for us. It's just a joy to watch him doing his thing.
Do you love Harvester and Total War Saga too?People complaining about his celebration

Harvester in particular, and Star Wars.
Shocking choice of scran
I'm not attacking him, I just think that it's an incredibly asinine thing to get upset about.
Just needs to get fully used to the pace of the league and he'll be a solid player for us. He has more about him than Hojlund in my opinion.
I think triggerless weapons are ok. Blowguns, spears, katanas, orbital cannons and but not limited to nuclear launches.
He wasn't sent off for it, he got a yellow card for it but then argued with tbe officials about it and was given a 2nd yellow as a result.
Both need to work on their saves
Good game but he may get some push back from the club or the FA for the NRA celebrations. His touches, flicks and passes are effective and rarely lose possession. The forwards have improved their finishing since Ruud and Amorim came in.
Sounds like Cavani received a trigger warning
Exactly. I hope JZ pulls out a waterpistol next time or adopts a Haaland buddhist pose for world peace.
In the Serie A team of the year! Congratulations!
To settle this debate, all pre planned goal celebration look stupid
Run around aimlessly like mad man and hug each other… maybe a friendly slap in the face and get back to business
(Only exception that team from island I think)

Is this a calender year award?
Gregg Wallace would like a word
Presumably for the 23/24 season with Bologna.
To be fair I don’t like rap, but that sounded particularly silly to me
Back to the debate on his celebration, what games to kids play these days? And how does it not involve shooting? Fortnite is still the biggest isn’t it?
Friendly slap in the face... mmmmmm
When Batistuta did the celebration it looked cool as feck to me as a kid, but he scored loads and was an absolute menace as a striker, so it was fitting all around. Celebration in that sense looked more weird than not appropriate.
Don't care much either way.

Here's a thought, How come this celebration is seen as controversial yet Hojlund's against bodo/glimt is not even considered? I know he was paying hommage to a movie but still, he literally gestured the cutting of someone's throat.
Read the thread properly dude, cutting throat does not involve pulling triggers.
Probably best to avoid blowgun celebrations too
Glorifying violence is the crux of issue and I would argue giving the UK's knife crime problems, that's a relevant point.
You do realise that the celebration is over 30 years old and is actually a homage to the original creator in Gabriel Batistuta?

It’s absolutely nothing new and definitely open to interpretation because many definitely don’t see it as you have.
I didn't actually know that, and it changes my view, so thanks. Any references to Batigoal are of course welcome.
Sone good ol slap arse.
The world has changed quite a bit in the intervening time, so references can be misconstrued; there used to be someone who did a bazooka celebration, I think it was(?) and things like that would have more scrutiny on them now even if innocent references to video games, movies or TV.
