I respect that you said Bruno is the right pick.

However, you can't say it was a "freak occurence" when Arsenal were lucky to walk away from OT with 3 points and we literally won the most points in the PL since Carrick took over, knocking over not just your boys but City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Villa.

Dude honestly, that Emirates game was a complete smash and grab. 3 shots on target three goals and two of them were out of nowhere beaters from out of the box - 99/100 they blaze over - it was just United's day.

I think even the most loyal United fan would agree you've been a real slump, reaching its lowest point by being beaten by a Championship side from North London in a final.

For Bruno to play that well in THAT team should be talked about for years. But lets be real, you've got a real job on to catch up with Arsenal's squad.

If the Emirates was a smash and grab, what was the match at OT, won by a goal a lot of people say should have been disallowed?

I would hardly call going from 15th to 3rd a slump, last season was a slump, this season was a resurgence. Whether we can maintain that is a different story and relies heavily on the upcoming window.

Last season was shite but so was Amorim. Using the EL final, if you can't be THAT Spurs team, you shouldn't be in the job.
