Grimsby’s Victory Over Manchester United…
Grimsby Town boss David Artell praised Manchester United as an “unbelievable team” after pulling off a jaw-dropping victory that had football fans questioning reality itself. On Wednesday night, Grimsby delivered a two-goal greeting card by halftime, leaving Ruben Amorim looking more perplexed than a cat watching a laser pointer. Despite a triple substitution rescue mission attempt, Manchester United had to settle for squeaking back to 2-2 and a penalty showdown where Grimsby revealed their secret trip to penalty master class Hogwarts, eventually sending United packing.
During an interview with ITV Sport, David Artell humorously commented on the victory, “First round last year we beat Bradford on penalties, so it’s practically our second job!” Artell’s strategy? Apparently reminding players that penalty shootouts are just a friendly soccer version of musical chairs, only much more nerve-wracking. Artell continued to praise his lads and even applauded Manchester United’s team and manager, calling them “unbelievable”—as if he was talking about a mythical team of unicorns scoring goals with rainbows!
