His point is completely irrelevant until he has achieved. He needs counselling.

I dont think Ange would be losing any sleep trying to get their trust back as you put itThis is why the fanbase are on edge and picking apart everything he says, it's mental.
Ironically he'll win himself a lot of trust back with those very same fans the fans if we lose this match tonight.
We just need to get this game out the way, feels like the outcome of our whole season is resting on this 1 match TBH.
Well, I am too quite pissed about Ange comments. Not for the reason that some others I assume, but still. And quite possibly I feel like that cause of the shit standing we are at.
I FULLY understand that manager wants win all games. And I would not expect him to come out and say we are in it to lose it. Absolutely not. You COULD say for example something like "Ah yea, well I can understand the complex feelings fans might have for this kind of a game. But rest assured, we are only focused on our result and putting us in the best possible situation. As a manager, I aim to win games, this what gets me up in the morning and this is what I'm paid to do." - absolutely nothing wrong with saying that.
But you don't have to say every idea and comparison that comes to mind. WTF is the shit about needing counselling ?!?! COUNSELLING ?!? Maybe stop giving us traumas, teach something to lads with FREE 14 days before NLD, instead of totally embarrasing ourselves at such rivalry on our home turf. How about that? If Ange would have done any kind of normal job prepearing the team, Scumshit would be currently two points below City and there would be no such dilemma to start with. How about that?
Some fucking looks to the mirror would be in place instead of talking down to fans about needing counselling. Should be much more humble after overseeing shittiest spell of results in past 20 years.
Fucking hell. I knew we had some right numpties as fans but they're all coming out in the build up to this match.
It's a tricky predicament for us all as far as feelings go but some are actually implying Ange should be sacked if he wins?!

Personally I am more angry at the Spurs fan base. There is wanting us to lose then there are the ones who put City til july and talking about doing the Posnan and booing our own team lineupWell, I am too quite pissed about Ange comments.

I was long past caring and we have been the banter target for the premier league regardless of what happens so who gives a fuck really anymore?Personally I am more angry at the Spurs fan base.

Isn't that what he's trying to do? Isn't that why he's calling out fans who want us to lose to spite our local rivals?His point is completely irrelevant until he has achieved. He needs counselling.
What is wrong with that?
We need to win things more than we need bragging rights. Is that even a debate?
He was talking about when he was a supporter, not a player. You're making excuses for his hypocrisy.Dry your eyes mate. You feel disrespected by his presser? What the fuck is wrong with some of you lot?
Everything he said is right. He should be saying he’s only interested in the team he’s managing.
When he said "hating rival teams to the core of his being" is when he was a player. He wants to win.
Fuck me,imagine we had a manager that “I liked every player and team I played against and don’t mind losing”
Imagine he said shit like that as a manager. You wouldn’t be long on jumping on him.
The poor fucker can’t win with the likes of you.
Do you think Pep or Klopp would be any different?
Because he hasn't even got bragging rights or a trophy. So he is part of the problem criticising past managers who never won, the likes of Pochettino for getting 2nd and a CL final and consistently beating Woolwich.What is wrong with that?

Nobody expected him to do that, just be more respectful towards the club and the supporters, it's really not that difficult.Ange is completely right in saying what he did.
No manager should sit in a pre game press conference and say "of course we are going to throw it to screw over another team." Then he'll get accussed of match fixing and his name is thrown into repute for that.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
And?
Neither did Jose or Conte but they won things everywhere else. Surely any idiot can see we need to shift the mentality at this club?

Mourinho was the same. You're going to leave the same club you just criticised without a trophy or bragging rights.
More than just this season. Postecoglou has to absolutely see that anything but a loss tonight is an even bigger loss for him..
No way he survives if we are the ones who allow that lot to win the league. Simply all but impossible.
And ultimately it's on the players to know how much energy and effort they put in. Not too much is the answer.
One point needed this season and that needs to come om the 19th.
And Ange randomly coming out and going "here did yous all know we haven't won a trophy since 2008?" is going to change that? As if we don't know?
Trying to win a trophy is different to winning one. He has tried and failed this season and is still criticising 15 seasons before him, most of which were better than his. He hasn't fucking won anything.Isn't that what he's trying to do? Isn't that why he's calling out fans who want us to lose to spite our local rivals?
