And subsequently the team got worse including one of our heaviest defeats in the Premier League...

You can't campaign for a situation where the fucking caretaker manager who was meant to steady the ship until the end of the season got sacked after 4 games lmao
You do realise Conte wasn't going to be sacked had it not been for his southampton post match interview right? It's not as if the board actually thought sacking Conte and replacing him with Stellini would actually improve us or "steady the ship".
 
Thick as pig shit.

Newcastle were setting traps galore with their midfield three overloading our midfield which consisted of an 18 year old kid given his premiership debut playing the number 6 role.

press..intercept... quick ball to wide area..

Fucking hell, what the fuck do you want him to say.

ON the one hand, everyone is like 'get him out of here so he doesnt permanently ruin all these young players' and on the other, people are mad because he is bigging up his players in a post-match presser for putting in a fucking monster shift against a massively in form side when the starting line-up was not being predicted by a single person to actually win today?

Everyone just needs to take a day off from finding every little thing they can to be mad about.

Cards on the table. After matches like the Rangers one, I’d have walked to the training ground and dragged the fucker out of there with his tie before scattering his body parts throughout a few dozen wheelie bins in Enfield.

After today? Not so bad, as I saw players giving it a go. Looks like we’ve signed a new keeper, so may be looking at improving things this window. Small glimmers.

What I’m trying to say is I have no idea what will lead to me being fully Ange Out. Changes like the wind direction. What it won’t be is me needing to be right. Club success always comes first.

My question to you is what would have to happen for you to be Ange In? Nothing daft like winning the league, but what gives him the opportunity to start next season? Or is there nothing he could do to change your mind?
Oh my god, someone so important has decided to "crawl under my rock" in order to reply to me, I feel so important!!!

I've said it before you clown, the fucking basics of being a serious team:

I'd have to disagree about the team being better for Poch's first season and the bit about Chelsea as they won the league the next season but apart from that, all of the valid points you've made about the strength of the league these days and the money available does make it difficult but it could be argued that this has the potential to be a similar season with City arguably not looking quite as dominant, Liverpool under a new manager and Woolwich stumbling now they're getting reffed properly.

Chelsea and Villa are looking threats but there's no reason we can't make a challenge but first and foremost, that would require consistency which imo would be a minimum of 4/5 league wins in a row a couple of times and a minimum of maybe 7/8 games at a time without a loss which we haven't seen in a while and now would be the time when the gap is still doable, we'll see at the weekend.
BTW, posted when Man City hadn't lost a game. As I've said before, we had the opportunity to be mixing it at the top end of the league if we had a competent manager in charge, instead, with the most open season in ages we're in the bottom half and you expect me to take anyone who supports this manager seriously?

hall of fame game missed the point GIF
 
It doesn't matter what you say, when we are knocked out by Liverpool and have lost at the Emirates and Goodison and are sitting in 14th - Levy pulls the trigger.

And it'll be well, well overdue.

I can see Levy keeping him and waiting until we get some players back on the pitch in a bid to put everything into the 2nd half of the season and in particular our EL campaign

And rightly so.

Glad he's calling it out for what it is. Newcastle should have had 2 red cards and a goal less in the first half.

We hit the post and created great chances second half whilst having a real go at them.

Today was a disgrace for the PL. I'm done with trying rationalize the way these officials behave.

Maybe if Ange did not wait 18 months to start going on about decisions that go against and to do it in such a round about way. He is a grade A prick for it.

I tried. Won’t bother again.
 
He coached a win today, the system was firing, making the likes of Austin and Reguilon look like worldbeaters. Just the refs mate. Last week it was the injuries, next week it’ll be the darts distracting our squad, week after that it’ll be fatigue.

"Premier League managers should just manage their football clubs," Postecoglou said. "I've never have and I never will talk to a referee about the rules of the game. I was taught that you grow up and you respect the officials.

"I think it is so hard for referees to officiate these days. Their authority is just constantly getting diminished. I grew up afraid of referees. They would be like policemen. Nowadays I guess we talk back to policemen as well. I'm old-school. I'm from a bygone era. I just love the purity of the game."


add another one to the list of contradictions the clown has to his name.
