I know that - it’s the ‘asking him to lose a game’. He’s blaming the fans again for his mistake in not understanding the rivalry.
If he’d have straight up gone: ‘I really understand it’s an awful position to be in as winning will lead to the horrific possibility of Woolwich winning, but we need to prioritise the CL as this will lead to use being better able to challenge in the future’ then, whether we agreed or not, we’d have understood and understood that he understood the history and rivalry a bit.
As it is, he made it all about himself and his ‘winning’ values and how he couldn’t believe some fans wanted to prioritise Woolwich falling to win the league. Fans don’t care so much about his opinion- we care about the club. And we show it in different ways and with different opinions. However, Ange is all about Ange and not the club (certainly any more) which we can see from where he wants to prove a point against us with the ear cupping etc..
IMO, he should be humbled and honoured to have been given the opportunity to coach us. Even Nuno who had a torrid time showed more class in his comments last weekend than Ange has done since last season.
TLDR - I know what he was referring to - he’s wrong.
