That's Amorins arse in the fryer...
to think, we nearly got him as manager ...

He's suffering from a similar problem to Gerrard, he's created a system that works really well in a league where only a handful of games are against comparable opposition and now he's facing good teams/managers week in and week out he's been found out and is struggling to mix things up. Also like Gerrard is that his biggest problem is that there's often a gaping void in the centre of the pitch.

Yes!!!

Now, here's a question...

When if ever did Man U last exit a cup competition before Villa even entered it?

1999. When the bastards withdrew from the FA Cup  >:(

Even when they weren't in it, we drew the team that took their place.

2014/15 League Cup, when they got hammered at MK Dons. We heroically stayed in the competition until... the next day, when we lost at home to Leyton Orient.

No, one team was given 'lucky loser' status from the 2nd round and we drew them. They wouldn't have been there without Man Utd's absense.

And, yes, I know that Utd would've been another number in the draw etc.

Amorim has not got a fucking clue.

He looks like a rabbit in the headlights, too.

Does anyone understand a single word he is saying in this interview?  The players spoke loudly.

Sitting down hiding on the bench during a penalty shoot-out is the sort of thing people laugh about when you're well-liked, but when you're under pressure you're just giving people more excuse to have a pop.
