Mailbag: Amorim's system, season so far,...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

October international break and it's time for another Talk of the Devils Extra, this time it's an audience Q&A.

So, after another healthy response from you all we cover the season so far, whether we'd swap the Brentford/Chelsea results, why the team are swapping ends, and Amorim's system.

There's also an update on the best chippy in Manchester (albeit not a definitive one), Carl's preferred driving instructor, and the moment we'd all like to relive.


Last chance if you're in Dublin/Cork if you want to join us for Talk of the Devils LIVE!
