Drinking Inside the Box

With Amorim's divisive words in his presser, we evaluate the choices Rashford has in front of him.  We also take a look at the fire at the Etihad that thwarted the team's planned player unveiling, was it a portent of things to come?  On the field we get into the magical run that Bournemouth are putting on, laying waste to the most in-form teams in the league. With their next meeting against Liverpool, could that be the cherry on top for the rest of the league? Especially with Arsenal squaring off against City.  We talk the tough decision facing Spurs with their leadership and finish it off with the amazing story Esse gets to tell his grandkids.  It's a loaded baked potato of an episode so grab a fork and plug us into your ear holes.

No, I am only joking, it's not a bad show.  But we do try to pick Amorim's word's and then his redaction apart. We also discuss the thrilling Week 22 action.
