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?!

Are you on a massive wind up?
Nop I'm not and I posted the exact same thing before the whole saga kicked off last night.
Well that's a relief, the idea of Benzema with Rooney behind didn't fill me with glee.
Yepp there is no difference between Dutch No 1 keeper (for the past 10 years) and Villareal's reject.
I don't think anyone knows whats going on in truth. If lyon have accepted a bid - it'd be on their website.Surely they have a website? is it?
I love how everyones at extremes, it's quite amusing. Benezema is quoted in a magazine as saying while he likes madrid, it isn't 'his fecking dream' btw..
Why would he lie?

Yeah just doesn't sound right.....I'm disappointed, but sure we'll move on
But 35 mill....and the deal done so quickly when it comes to Lyon? theyre notorious for getting the best price for their players and dragging transfers out

is kermit dead then?Player power, if he truly wants to go then the club will have to accept the lower fee.
Dave Whelan was intimating that one offer for Valencia was lower than the other, but the choice was Valencia's.
Also, with Berbatov last summer, if City hadn't got rich, Spurs would have been forced to accept less for Berbatov, as noone else was in for him
Calm yourself down.
Save your whining for when the transfer window closes, it's only just opened FFS.
Fergie's past comments obviously showed his interest in bringing him here. Whether or not we were actually in for him, I don't know. But if 35 million euros was all Lyon were looking for, we damn well should've been in for him.
And I never said he was a top player. Quite a difference in being a top talent and a top player.
michael owen's avaible on a free ??????
Top is a psychic
They never made it so easy and so early when other players wanted to go elsewhere. A bit surprising, but what the hey...
LUISSSSSSS FABIANNNOOOOOOOOOO
let the muppetry begin all over again
feckin hate summers. Lets just all feck off for a while, come back in August after this muppetry is over.

We can still get Rossi back, don't panic.
They say that the offer was much higher than 35m euro and that it did not necessarily come from madrid.
Would you rather we had never signed Ronaldo!?
was that story run anywhere legit? Goal is hardly creditable and quotes have been known to be twisted in the media
Date check: 1st of July
Lets get Bellion, wasn't he up there in the goalscoring charts with Benzema?
Just calm down, it's hard accepting that we have just about been knocked off our perch and that our claim to be the best team in the world is bullshit now! Barcelona and Real have a better team and realistically we will be more on a level with Liverpool/Chelsea now.
Thing is you can't be at the top all of the time year after year...SAF will have a plan and a bunch of muppets moaning isn't going to make him blow all the cash on a top player and ditch is well proven tactic of developing a team through buying young talent.
Read on another forum that SSN are reporting that we did have a deal in place with everything agreed and Real outbid us and offered him more money?
Anyone here heard that?
Anyone here heard that?
do we really want to sign someone whose dream was always to join real???? nah feck him.........
Anyone who has seen Benzema play knows he is a top player.
Yeah seems the dominance of the PS has ended and the top players want to play in Spain now. Also i dont believe its just a case that top players dont want to come to United but we are getting out priced for anyplayer we want to go for.
Michael Owen.
feck. No.
The beginning of the end! The sky is falling!

Real deal? Lyon deny that Real Madrid have beaten Manchester United to £30m Karim Benzema

Lyon have denied claims in Spain that Real Madrid have completed the £30million signing of Karim Benzema.
In fact, the French club say they have received a bid far superior to the figure widely quoted by Spanish media.
Manchester United are determined to land the France striker are thought to be prepared to offer closer to £38m.
The websites of Spanish newspapers Marca and AS say the 21-year-old's transfer to the Bernabeu as a done deal, but there has been no official announcement from the Spanish giants and Lyon have moved to quash the reports.
Lyon communications chief Olivier Blanc said the story was 'unfounded' and told respected French newspaper L'Equipe: 'The Marca report is substantially wrong in substance.
'We've received an offer of an amount substantially greater than the amount raised, but not to say that it comes from Real. There is no agreement with anyone.'
Reports said Madrid would confirm Benzema's arrival later on Wednesday or on Thursday. The club's president Florentino Perez warned the next signing would come in a 'day or two' after unveiling new £56m superstar Kaka at the Bernabeu on Tuesday evening.
After completing the £80m signing of Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United today and the £12m capture of Raul Albiol from Valencia, the reported outlay on Benzema would take Madrid's summer spending to almost £180m.

madrid do not have a better team than us right now. I think a little bit of respect should be shown to the Manchester United players.
Even if you hear stuff like that now you can't trust it. It's good publicity to make out that your new signing turned down massive offers from elsewhere to choose you.
We'll never know for sure whether United even bid for the player unless Gill or Fergie say they did.
O NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm going to top myself..
No.
But United can do without the kind of circus surrounding him the last three years.
I want United to have players who sees United as the pinnacle of their careers, not just a career stepping stone.
If not, they can feck off. Be it Ronaldo, Ruud, Beckham, Benzema etc.
Juventus reject you mean? You were insistent on that..
Oh noes!!!
It's back on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
