This interview on SKY with Amorin believe it or not is the first time I have heard him talk, he's speaking but saying the sum total of fuck all.

Which is smashing :)

He reminds me of James Hacker MP from Yes, Minister - he just talks. And as sir Humphrey said to Hacker “just because some one asks you a question, it doesn’t mean you have to answer it” - Amorim should take that advice
 
Whilst killing time, I decided to see what Google’s AI would make of the PR guff statement that United have had at least one youth academy graduate in their matchday squad since 1937.

It came back 1st off with saying there were many many sources saying this (who knew), and that it’s a ‘proud tradition’.

I then asked it about checking on John O’Shea and cross checking any matchday squads for any academy graduates in the matches he played in… it came back with the PR guff again.

I then stated check the match on 01/05/11 against Arsenal, to which it came back with ‘Wes brown’ played that game according to XYZ website from 2020.

I then sent it a link to the bbc report for the actual match, not the (wrong , same season) one it was thinking of

It was almost shocked that this existed and disproved the PR guff. It tried to wheedle out of it by saying ‘it’s generally assumed John O’Shea was an academy player.

The coup de grace came with this Wikipedia entry, showing he moved to United by signing professional forms.

It’s no wonder, this and other fictional PR guff about United survives…
It took awhile for AI to work out, so lemmings have no chance.

I expect a controversial win for the rags today.
The 24 hour media demands the rags being on the same points as City this evening
 
yep, Fulham needs to deliver something. last thing I want is rags win today, they then beat Burnley at old toilet next week, we may draw to Brighton and boom we go into the derby with them on 2 points ahead of us looking to make it 5 and to be fair their new front three looks to have more intention and quality than the likes of Garnacho, Hojlund Zirkzee etc., Pep really needs to fix the defence until then.

If had wasn't a rag player he would never have lasted in the PL or England set-up .

He is fucking clueless and thankfully massively over-paid by the stupid cunts who "manage" the shambolic shithole of a club.

I have always thought the claim was bollocks. Virtually every club in English football has had a youth graduate in its match day squad since football started. Overseas players only really became a big issue 20 years ago. There can’t be many games in our history where we didn’t have at least one locally-produced player in the squad. Has anyone ever checked this PR guff from United.
