posters because they have fuck all else to do in their lives.

From the presser:
That's 15 league defeats now, what can you say to the fans?
I get their disappointment. It's unacceptable to see 15 league defeats. It's nowhere near good enough, nowhere near the level we need to be and I understand the supporters' frustrations with that. Today wasn't so much about performance, it was just another day when we let a game get away from us that we shouldn't have.
So according to Ange the performance was fine…

"For 75 minutes we were where we wanted to be"
Create nothing and play for a draw.

Honestly, considering Ange has won the league with the Brisbane Boomerang Bandits, The Wombat Warriors, The Emu Enforcers, The Surfing Stingrays AND won the Crocodile Tear Jug with the Roo Rackers im utterly shocked how he has somehow managed to fail so miserably in the Premier League.
It must be a media agenda.

tricky pitches....
its unfair too, set pieces and subs are actually relevant in the premier league FFS!!
It's because the premier league is xenophobic towards Australians
We'd be top otherwise
Eyes have to be pointing at the floor and its perfect
Ange always wins the Johnsons Paint trophy in his fourth season
This season actually has quite a bit in common with 93/94. Sheringham was out for several months, Gordon Durie was sold after a row with Ossie which left us with Ronny Rosenthal, Jason Dozzell and a 19 year old Nick Barmby. Dozzell was our second top scorer with 10 goals, Sheringham managed an impressive 13 goals in 19 appearances.
In terms of goals scored and conceded, we weren't too far off Liverpool. They scored 59 goals compared to our 54 and conceded 55 compared to our 59 but somehow they ended up finishing with 15 more points than us. That bought them an 8th place finish which is very poor by their standards but would have been a good finish for us at that time. We even beat them at Anfield and drew 3-3 at the Lane after coming back from 3-1 down.
I guess it all comes down to grinding out those wins and draws. To think, before we lost to Ipswich, we were talking about going ahead of Woolwich in the league and making a push for CL qualification. The margins between success and failure can be so thin.
Game management seems to be the critical failing of both Ange and Ossie. If you want to make progress in the league or win trophies, you've got to do what it takes to get results over the line. I keep thinking back to how much we could have used that hard fought 1-1 draw we got at Anfield under Conte towards the end of 21/22 in the semi-final a few weeks ago.
Leicester, being run by an extremely suspect group of ownership and in a free fall in the last few years, still managed to attract van Nistelrooy mid-season. A 48 yr old who ended up winning the Dutch Cup and Dutch Super Cup while finishing 2nd with PSV in his only season in charge.
Wolves, another team in the same boat, keep attracting managers like Lage, Lopetegui and Pereira who won leagues and trophies that someone like Ange can only dream of.
A perennial bottom half team like Palace managed to attract Glasner mid-season when they were hovering around the relegation zone, a former EL winner who also managed to qualify for Europe on a number of occasions.
This is the type of pull that this league has. With this in mind, trying to explain this appointment away as just another instance of Peter Principle, or Levy failing to find anybody better after exhausting all the possible options, doesn't do justice to what kind of a failure this has been.

Wasn't Ange supposed to lead us to League Cup victory? I just had a look and Newcastle are playing against Liverpool.
But when Bergvall scored 1-0, some of you talked a lot. The same bunch are not talking so much now, are they?
Some posters even wanted to register those who were AngeOut. Like it was something they would use against us in the future. Strange time with this quack at the wheel.

A friend of mine asked me earlier in the week ‘if Ange won the Europa League with Spurs would you still be Ange out?’ I laughed because there isn’t a way in hell this team wins that trophy under Ange, but still I responded that I would want Ange to go at the end of the season regardless.
It is evident that this team is underperforming massively, and that is down to training and the manager’s tactics.

We should have been at Wembley today, yet we didn’t even turn up in Putney.. where half the fans care more about the halftime Pimms.
Could we add Milesy's face poking out from the back of Ange's bottom ? Would be perfect
