Either way, previous coaches would've been fired for that loss at Everton. Feels like the football gods were testing his nerve

He’s played a bad hand terribly.Caveat
I also don’t think Ange has played a bad hand well and most weeks he’s doing things that fuck me off. Which is why I’m ambivalent.
I think Rio Ferdinand said something similar last week too.Carragher going pretty easy on him in MNF but he did say we looked like and under 18s team where it didn’t matter if we won yesterday and he kind of repeated that. Petit said he feels sorry for spurs fans, we aren’t the team we should be.
Well putRight now he's got us on the brink of relegation, 12 defeats already and still 16 games left. Humiliated by Coventry...and Tamworth. Could've lost to Ferencvaros, Qarabag and AZ. Should've conceded about 12 to Galatasaray and Roma. Humbled by not just our cunty neighbours, but Brighton, Palace. Dropped points to powerhouses like Leicester, fucking Ipswich at home.
Everyone in the footy media, ex pros, fans of other teams...they all know he's a clown, that his system is jokes and that he's an arrogant, unbearable prick to boot. Not even limited to the UK, they think likewise in France, Germany, Italy...
But yeah we beat City and United a couple times, taking a 1-goal lead to Anfield. And he says mate a lot.
Yipee fucking doo.
MyYour head coach.
I remember a game under George Graham where we started Andy Booth (on loan from Wednesday a division below us) and Dave McEwan (bought from Dulwich Hamlet who were non league). Hard to find worse than that unless you recall FA Cup 3rd round at OT where we started Rory Allen and Neal Fenn... and let's not forget Gregor Raziak. To be fair, this forward line is no where near the worst we've had!!!Come on, look at the players those managers had at Chelsea, proven winners, culture of success, owners that bought their way to success
This club is not built to win anything, the current players have shown no sign of having the balls to win anything, just look at the forward players we have, probably the worst set of attackers we've had at the club since 1997...... yes the league form has been unacceptable but it will be a miracle if Ange manages to win a trophy with this lot. Doesn't make him elite but no need to disrespect what would be a big achievement at this moment in the clubs history.
I'd swap him for an out of date yoghurt left on the shelf at Aldi
Where can i drop Ange off and pick the yoghurt up from you?I'd swap him for an out of date yoghurt left on the shelf at Aldi
It's peach melba... I'll deliver it free but please don't send Ange back as a return. Just put him in the recycling.
Ah yeah cause squeezing past true European giants like them 3, needing ET to knock out a non-league team and Djed saving Ange's ass in the dying moments vs a poor Champo team...they're all great results cause we won. Gotcha.You are now bringing up games we could've lost as humiliations? WTAF
Many times I've said we shoulda won vs Leicester or Newcastle this season...and West Ham, Villa (home) or Wolves last year.Would you tolerate for a second anyone bringing up games we could've won as something to be proud of?
I mean, YOU trying to mug me off about my posts? Really? The guy who openly admits he's checked out, doesn't watch games and who gets all excited about players he knows nothing about except watching their YT highlights. You wanna make it personal and go for cheap shots...fine, let's have it. You been acting a right baby for weeks on here, brother. You used to be a good poster and one I liked interacting with, though I often disagreed with your takes. When you took a break from TFC, that's why I even DM'd you to make sure you was okay and to say you'd been missed. Now you're just embarrassing yourself post after post. Holla back at me when you're ready to act grown up again cause I ain't that sweet on chatting Spurs with a 12yo with mirror mirror type comebacks.

The Cowboys are shite because the owner thinks he's a GM when the reality is he's a senile old fool who lucked out on Jimmy Johnson who built a dynasty for him. He then parted ways with Jimmy because everybody knew it was Jimmy's team and not Jerry's... Dallas Cowboys = Tottenham Hotspur of the NFLWhat's in it for us, supporters? Fuck all, really.
What's in it for the owners? Billions of pounds.
To understand the attraction, you have to understand that billionaires finances are wholly different than ours. They don't collect paycheques/dividends. This is why few stocks these days pay dividends - dividends are coveted by average investors, but useless to billionaires they don't want income. They live on credit extended to them based on the value of their holdings. So when Spurs' values doubles, Lewis' values doubles and his access to capital greatly increases. That capital can be accessed to fund further investments. Money begets money.
What's in it for the club? A more competitive landscape. A closed structure Super League would enact salary controls - the billionaires don't want to frivolously waste money needlessly on players. They'd still pay the highest salaries in the world (like the NBA) so would get the best players - but collectively bargaining salary controls provides a fixed cost of labor that can be pegged to the fixed value of collectively bargained revenue (broadcasting, merchandising, etc.) And guarantees profits and growrh for owners.
In a fixed salary structure league, who "succeeds" and "fails" is about who is the best and most efficient at squad building. So, with out current setup, we'd probably not thrive, obviously. Liverpool, probably would. But the chances of us winning would be much higher in that league than in our current league, where we have to be exponentially more efficient because we have to overcome a base spending inequity. In a fixed salary Super League, we'd just have to be better at spending the same amount of money we're allowed to spend.
This is why the Knicks and Cowboys are not successful, despite being the vastly most valuable teams in their sports - they're shit at building teams and cannot leverage their value advantage to offset their lack of squad building talent.
Refuse come tomorrow, so I’ll bung Ange out with the rest of the crap laterIt's peach melba... I'll deliver it free but please don't send Ange back as a return. Just put him in the recycling.
Nah mate, we won them games so obviously we deserved it and they were great performances. That's how it works.Well put
Our cup performances have been awful too. Ex Liverpool
Yeah, but your previous post was apology and your "subsequent post" was afterthought...and this post was made 7 minutes after my reply to your "subsequent post"...Iriola is obviously doing a better job than Ange. See my subsequent post.
As a Cowboys fan for almost 40 years, you don't have to explain it to me.The Cowboys are shite because the owner thinks he's a GM when the reality is he's a senile old fool who lucked out on Jimmy Johnson who built a dynasty for him. He then parted ways with Jimmy because everybody knew it was Jimmy's team and not Jerry's... Dallas Cowboys = Tottenham Hotspur of the NFL
You be good, brother.
I don't think the guys on the dust will want him. The truck will break down and he will want the crew to pass the rubbish around outside the homes of residents who pay top council tax dropping left overs and old nappies all over the place.Refuse come tomorrow, so I’ll bung Ange out with the rest of the crap later
Nah, Cowboys are more like Woolwich. Jerry Jones still living off of that 3 titles era.As a Cowboys fan for almost 40 years, you don't have to explain it to me.
Dallas is definitely not the Spurs of the NFL though. United is more like the Cowboys of the PL, honestly.
Well, he did win one more after Jimmy and that is what he is living off of. He is more of a showman now than a owner. Kind of like Levy.The Cowboys are shite because the owner thinks he's a GM when the reality is he's a senile old fool who lucked out on Jimmy Johnson who built a dynasty for him. He then parted ways with Jimmy because everybody knew it was Jimmy's team and not Jerry's... Dallas Cowboys = Tottenham Hotspur of the NFL
