Tuesday Cannon Fodder: sacked?

Good Tuesday morning, TSFers! I read that 20 of Arsenal’s 25 first team players are out on international duty. Noni Madueke was a weird omission from the England lineup. Bukayo Saka and William Saliba aren’t fit. So that’s the two backup keepers then. My goodness. This squad is insanely deep and talented.

The news of the day (yesterday) was that Manchester United plan to sack Michael Carrick. Sure, whatever. You do you, fam. I don’t think that Carrick is the problem at that club. The move will likely improve the team because the players had quit on him and the situation had become untenable. If you’re the next manager, how could you have any confidence that the leadership core of that roster won’t quit on you if they wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

My opinion: Manchester United’s players are nowhere near good enough to do what is expected of Manchester United players, i.e. compete for trophies. They haven’t been for a while. Giving Bruno Fernandes the Premier League POTY award was a joke.

For the few of you who were curious, I intended to sit the Vikings defense but forgot. Better to be lucky than good, they scored a handful of points anyway. That Vikings offense is bad, which is a shame because their defense is really good. Staying in NFL-land: the Jaguars are going for it, eh? Will this be the Bills’ year? Or will someone like the Bears win the Super Bowl because the AFC beats the tar out of each other in the playoffs and softens up whoever wins that conference?
