An absolute farce when a lower mid-table club, who haven't been anywhere near champions for over a decade, can get into the chumps league via this route.
It seems to be the only reason for this tinpot cup competition to exist.

There's absolutely no prestige or achievement attached to actually winning in it in its own right, its just about giving a mid-table team the opportunity to play with the big boys next season.
 
Not necessarily their best player.

Just their latest (in a very long line) of overhyped players.

His form had already tailed off considerably in the last few games where he was completely anonymous.
Some whopper in the Telegraph comments has just likened him to Beckenbaur, wtf.
 
200 more redundancies, thats on top of the ones gone already, you have to ask how many staff did they have??
I wonder how many staff they will still have after the latest 200? Not seen that anywhere and no idea how it compares to other Premier League clubs?
 
Sly Stone revealing his mathematical ineptitude on BBC website referring to the match as between 2 mid table teams. 14th & 15th mid table?
He’s done that thing that your Mum used to do when you had family round at Christmas by lifting the leaves on either end of the table.
Genius.
 
I've seen managers throw individual players under the bus for poor performances before, Amorim has thrown the entire team under one claiming it's their fault that the redundancies are happening. He may have a slight point, but fuck me, that's funny. I wonder if he was handed a script by scruffy jim?
 
Dumb by Amorim to say United is bigger than Spurs. Its true but you avoide such statements, particularly before the game. You winding up the opposition, its just unnecessary, could lead to a motivational boost rather for Spurs than your own team. Thats why Pep is usually full of praise for opponents. You just do not want them extra motivated for any reason.

Yeah, its awkward, but must be delibarate strategy after calling your own team the worst in the history of the club

I'd forgotten that one, plus the "we're bigger than Spurs" comment, is he doing a Jose and trying to get sacked, maximising his payoff?

Every day is a clown day there at the moment.
