Every decision that club makes pulls them deeper into the soft stuff.
It's extraordinary to watch.

Just about the last act of their expensively acquired DoF Dan Ashworth was to recommend, inter alios, Thomas Frank as manager. The powers that be, ie big Jim, rejected Frank and picked Amorim, yet again non football people deciding football stuff. They never learn.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!

Fuck me, they've turned a corner everyone. This is the season where it all clicks. Amorin's got his players in and had most of a season to work on his tactics. Be afraid.

On a side note, their new star striker was the 10th to take a penalty.

£200m on new strikers!

Two of their saviour signings missing pens as well, lmao.

And the third and most expensive one hiding away at the back until he was tenth in line to take one.

Not exactly what you'd expect a centre forward to do when it comes to a penalty shootout.

Jaded was at City’s Academy, not the rags'.

Hes not done great since he went on strike at City. A good season in Germany followed by falling into the abyss known as the swamp. From promising youngster to washed up rag, what a journey.

 

[jacko74]

That was one of the most bizarre and hilarious things I've seen in a long time.

Playing with his little tactics board actaully on the touchline whilst the game is going on around him.

Outstanding result lol. Made my morning when I woke up.

Upsets do happen as freak results where teams could play another 10 times and it likely won't happen again but this has happened because they're utter shite, no other reason. That's the best part about it. They could play another ten times and it'll happen at least a few.

It’s GRIMsby up North!
Only watched the 2nd half and turned it off when slabhead equalised. Turned off phone and went to bed.
Turned it back on a minute ago! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Fuckin mint. This is their Halifax Town moment and will take years to recover from for the twats.
Well done the Mariners. You’ve set these fuckers back big time there probably more than we all think.

I do not for one second believe the scum's players are worth £1.2bn.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Why are people saying it's a shock result ? We are not talking about the mighty Man United here, 15th in the Premier League speaks volumes and many would have had a cheeky £10 on Grimsby beating them

That's right, a club that fielded a team worth less than £1million beating a team that's worth over £700million
There was nothing between them on the night and if people were watching football for the first time, Grimsby looked the better club

Worth?

I was feeling quite depressed (ignoring Spurs) these past 24 hours ---- I had received an appointment for a day patient heart procedure requiring I be at the hospital at 7:00AM - I would have to leave home at 5;30AM to drive to that appointment. heaven knows what time I would have to get out of bed.

As I was chopping firewood this morning, taking my frustration out of the logs of wood, my wife emerged outdoors and with joy in her voice, said "Grimsby beat United on a penalty shootout after the game ended 2 - 2". Boy did my mood change from that second on.

But that’s what they cost.

There is a difference.

 

[manimanc]

Might as well be Celtic

Where’s that piss taking video when you want it.

 

[TShed]

Quite right. I remember Droylsden getting beaten there 3-5 a good few years ago.

I went to the first game when Colin Williams had a decent winner disallowed should have won 1-0 kicked off for fun great days

Stone: "manchester united are not a club built to lose to fourth-tier opposition, but here we are"

we, not they

I feel a cold coming on, might have to get some fisherman’s friend. Better hand them out to all n sundry at work too. Nip it in the bud

 

[Bigga]

I, almost, posted the 'Its LB' version of this as 'Saeed Bingo', but it's worth watching/ hearing the rant in itself too...

 

[der bomber28]

Ee bah gum, grim up north tint it? Absolutely brilliant hahahaha, Onana up to his old tricks again as well haha. Just worried this forces their hand into going for Donnarumma, don’t want this comedy rollercoaster to end. ;)

Especially any rags you work with.
