People have a habit of taking his words out of context or perhaps not seeing the full context of the clip before speaking on it, would have thought you would have cottoned onto it by now because it's not as if the media hasn't been doing that for fucking years.

Nothing but a bit of desperate confirmation bias to fuel your own agenda though.

That’s fine. You’re illiterate, I totally understand. You’re from @daveyboy88’s educational background I see.

Don’t worry, you’re now blocked. I genuinely don’t want my time wasted by stupid people.

We won’t engage again on this forum. I’d prefer you fucked off back to Woolwich mania where you belong but I know you won’t.

Bye chuckles!

Bye precious.

Imagine thinking for one second that what he said was a 'PR blunder' or that he's alienated a 'whole bunch of fence sitters'.

Anyone with a brain (so not you) knows he had to say that in public. He can't say he doesn't want to win...

Think there are plenty of reasons to be a sceptic in regards to Ange without the he said/she said takes on press conferences.

There is way too much emphasis on that these days. Not sure he's said much wrong, players and managers arent fans so just don't get it, they are also professionals so of course he wants to win. More pissed off with the lack of nous and first half fight against Woolwich which would have made this argument redundant.

Gotta say, I really do admire your patience with some of these, er 'fans'. Fair play
 
I have to admit, if you watch his press conferences in full, they are very different to what the papers clip up. The full press conferences have a bit more context and are warmer in tone and use the words he actually said. They are also boring.

There were some headlines before Chelsea at home earlier in the season that made me think his negativity in the press regarding our transfer policy ruined our mentality. But if I watch his full presser before Chelsea at home there is nothing wrong with it really and I can't actually find the spin the journos went with.

That said, I do get pissed off with highly paid sports people talking about regular plebs needing to seek out financially free psychiatrists. If the availability for counselling was there and it worked to make people rich and living their dreams it would be a fair comment.

Give him a foul vote.

The only way to get rid of his awful comments is for people to actually do something.

Yes, abuse the abuse button because i reciprocated the goodbye. Imagine asking for someone to get banned for an opinion but not calling out the person who called me a "buffoon" for holding it.

Oh Arse’s yeh, look like we are throwing the game even though IMO the below team is probably the strongest we can field (Ange made clear he wasn’t too comfortable using VDV as a left given his injuries and demands so I don’t think he will play drag/Romero/VDV)

Vicario
Porro Romero VDV Skipp
Sarr Bentancur Maddison
Johnson Scarlett Son
 
The counselling comment is unnecessary. Especially as Richarlison has been very open with his depression and mental health problems over the past few months, and has spoken about how seeing a psychologist saved him. While counselling and therapy are different it's a poor choice.

Also over the weekend the PL and the club took part in mental health awareness, including a video on Richlarlison talking about his depression. Counselling is not really something to be made a joke out of.

I saw on another site woolwich have taken the counselling comment out of context and said Ange is calling 99% of Spurs fans mentally ill. It has like 900+ likes...

After some good awareness over the weekend, it's the same as always for MH in football and mental health problems in general one step forward two steps back. Unfortunately nothing will ever change.

A shocking turn of events I tell ya.

Like I said, we could do with you on the pitch with the amount of defending you're willing to do, just not tomorrow, still touching all the same.

Btw, I notice you haven't replied to the post I made above addressing, granted somewhat accurate, accusations of being a miserable cunt.

My issues with Ange are we never change how we play and look to score the same fucking goal every week. Saturday was enjoyable because we seen two different types of goals rather than get it in between CB and FB to cross for first time finish.
I also have issues with playing guys like Skipp and Royal at left back but that might be him sending a message to the board.
I have issues with taking a midfielder off who’s been better than the one that stays on.
I have issues with zonal marking.
I have issues with everyone of our front players.

The only thing that will change those is personnel. We need better players and if Ange gets them I think we’ll bw successful.
If not he becomes just another one of our managers that gets moved on.
Its not been brilliant but I’m willing to give the guy a chance because he’s got us at least 5th with a load of new players,new style and without the best goalscorer we’ve ever had.

What I do see is a together squad,a better atmosphere about the club and better atmosphere at the games. Ange has done that.

Try be positive just once. It won’t hurt
