In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Wilson nervy again
Credit to Jones for making a game of it. Could have been a humiliating scoreline but he still has a slim chance.
If he wins this frame, might not be a slim chance. You can be sure being 7 ahead and being whittled down to only 2 will start to play on Wilson's mind.
Incredibly scrappy now.
Virgo challenging Murphy as most shit commentator
Jones binning too many easy opportunities here.
Jones is missing too many ‘easy’ shots, that miss on the black then has probably just put the final nail in his coffin.
think they will both need a change of underpants when this session ends.
The most shit one for me is probably Reanne Evans. Who, as the only female pundit on the circuit, seems to pop up on all the channels. Certainly up / down there challenging with the worst anyway.
Virgo with his over the top bursts of excitement and continually quoting the obvious …wish he’d feck off down to the bookies
Leave Virgo alone, absolute saint
Jak Jones has no right being here tbh, absolutely atrocious performance. Commentators doing a nice thing saying it's nerves. Both the black off it's spot and the yellow are appalling attempts, "pressure" aside.
Last year Brecel fluked his win (predicted he'd disappear without a whimper during his "defence") and now this guy.
Been such a weird tournament with a really low standard in comparison to other years, lots of the established players losing form or going out early.

Yeah it’s been poor final so far. Hopefully it picks up.
He gets on my tits
Doesn't look like it will.
Yeah it looks pretty much over now. Shame but I guess always a risk when one of the players is so low ranked.
Jones has been shocking.

We can all turn over to United now….within 10 minutes you’ll all gain a new appreciation for these lads’ accuracy with a spherical object
Jones is terrible
What a frame that was 
These two are doing my nut in. One of the worst quality finals I've seen. Fun though.
This gives me hope that some day I may reach the Crucible.
Yeah fair play this is shit
Jones is so frustrating. He'll pot something he's got no business going for and then miss an absolute sitter straight after.
This guy
He can’t come back, surely?
Glimmer of hope for Jones?
He can let his arm go now and play like he practices. In a strange way there’s more pressure on Wilson now.
Can you imagine if Jones wins this.
We'd be here til 2amCan you imagine if Jones wins this.
For me Jones getting to the final comes down to these tight pockets. Rather than increasing the skill level and forcing the cream to rise to the top, it’s made frames scrappy and amplified the more cagey, safety first approach where sneaking a 30 and a 40 to win frames is enough to inch by.
I told you as soon as we came from the other thread it’s now over
Poor final. Can't stand Wilson and Jones comes across as a cnut
Congrats Wilson always liked him albeit he is quite dull.
So nice to see another first timer win the worlds. Massive achievement.

Well done and all but the standard was poor. Both of them lost their bottle.
Christ.
Blasphemer
Well done Kyren, chuffed for him. Was rooting for him as I figured it’d be horrible to lose the world final twice. Could see how much it meant to him, nerves definitely played a part and the sheer relief at getting over the line was clear to see. Always nice to see a new world champion and he’s as deserving as any.
Credit to Jones, too. I didn’t really warm to him, but as a qualifier to get to the final is some achievement. To hold it together and not completely capitulate after going 7-0 down was equally impressive. He may never manage a run like that again, but he’ll never forget this week regardless. If he could have made it 17-15 it would have become squeaky bum time.
