He’s adding to that narrative being literally the 4th easiest team in the division to play against and losing over 20 matches in a season.
We bring this shit on ourselves as a club and until we break that narrative it will always be there.

We bring this shit on ourselves as a club and until we break that narrative it will always be there.
Interesting how many comments are manoeuvring the ‘problem’ from Ange to Levy to ‘the narrative’.
The real narrative is that we’ve had a shocking season, largely because of Ange. He’s spent a lot of money (well or badly doesn’t matter, that’s a truth); he’s had much longer than anyone would expect (whether that’s Levy, he’s waiting for a third season or the Europa or whatever); there HAVEa been a lot of injuries (a lot of evidence that this might be down to Ange, or might not)….BUT the real issue right now is that we’re way down the table, can’t win a league game for love nor money, are horrifically open to counter attacks all day long and he’s not changing the instructions to players.
The narrative around our club changes depending on the success we have. Right now, we’re awful - that’s not about being ‘spursy’ or some nonsense, that’s about Ange mismanaging the in-game tactics and not being sacked when he should have been. We can argue the rest of the narrative once the team are performing like they did when Conte chucked his toys out of the pram, or Jose was sacked just before a final or Poch after the semi year.
right now, the bit of the problem that needs to be dealt with is Ange. The invisible narrative can be dealt with later.

The narrative isn't shifting until we win, it's as simple as that. It didn't shift when Poch had us in our prime and won't do until we lift a trophy.
Still acting like a bloody martyr about that game

"...the better story is that my tenure has been a disaster and it continues to be..."
IT'S NOT A BLOODY STORY - IT'S A BLOODY REALITY, you self-pitying moron.

It’s just more deflection
Fat cunt's easier apparently....
Whatever the guy's limitations, that's not acceptable in my book.
I’ve never really understood it tbh, there’s plenty to criticise the bloke for without just calling him names.
Semantics.
Still totally mental. Fair play
Narrative was there under Poch when we were probably the toughest to play agains.
We don't help ourselves as Spurs fans by going along with it.
Politically Correct Semantics. If you can't call Postecoglou a fat cunt on TFC, when he's ruined our season as badly as he has, the game's gone and we might as well all turn our devices off or pop over to Mumsnet and discuss the relative Tog ratings of duvets.
I think a lesser EPL team, with players with worse quality, would suit him even worse. If he goes to Leeds for example, been some vague rumours about that, I'm pretty sure they would become Southampton under Russell Martin 2.0 where they would constantly try, and constantly fail, to play out from the back despite their players not being capable of doing so effectively whatsoever.
There's an ant crawling across my kitchen floor (actual photo). I've named him Ant Postecoglou. Should I...
a. Tread on him now
b. Give him another season
c. Wait a few weeks and see if we end up with a trophy - then make a decision?
Take him outside , no need to kill it
Classic gas lighting from him.
Not going along with it - it’s there for a reason mate. We are the biggest underachieving club in England, that’s a fact.
Nothing will break it but success on the pitch which we never have.
Blaning fans in any way is a joke imo - look what we have been through like!
Get a spider, put it in the kitchen with Ant and hey presto you can get an early preview of Sundays game.
