Out of curiosity, is anyone able to tell me our xg, shots on goals, touches in box, progressive dribbles or field tilt etc from the 84 final?

Winning on pens sounds more of a blag than within 90 mins but we never talk about the 84 win like that, against an absolute European minow.

Anderlecht in the 70's minnows?

Have a look at Anderlecht's record in Europe between 75 and 83 and come back on that "absolute European minow [sic]" comment.

The blinkered view of.... a manager who won us a trophy so should be backed and continue in charge is nonsense! Particularly as the same manager openly admitted in a press conference that from January this year he binned off the league, dicing with relegation to focus on The EL!!!
Please! Anyone who buys into and applauds that sort of managerial mindset and can't see that 90% of our performances over the past 18 months have been nothing short of turgid, deserves another season under him. But I for one won't be watching this clowns efforts next season.

he didnt bin the league off, if he did he wouldnt of rushed back romero and VDV for a game in april against chelsea....the game where no one expected them to start and VDV limped off as a result of not being ready....set back further! and gambling with his career.

the guys an absolute joke, never seen someone contradict themselves so much, hell say whatever is needed at that time to keep the idiots on board..

No.

Absolute European minnows with 0 European Cups compared to Man Utds 3?

It's a point I'm making regarding downplaying and disregarding the success of 84. Don't like it do you? Sounds like rivals fan talk?
Same applies to those downplaying the 25 win.

So everyone who hasn't won a European Cup is a minnow irrespective of other trophies and form?

So we're an absolute minnow right?

In that 75-83 period, Liverpool are the only British club who won more European trophies than Anderlecht. Different world pre vast amounts of money, in which players like Vercauteren stayed in Belgium

It doesn't make sense replacing him with Thomas Frank after we've just won the Europa. Parker? Silva? none of these managers have won anything. It sends a really bad message if we replace the manager that has won the club major silverware with managers who haven't won anything.

Xavi, Glasner, Emery and yes ok that's fine. We can still send the message that winning silverware is actually important but there's something really odd about replacing him with a manager that hasn't won anything right after we've won something. This is feeling like they're doing it to not follow through with Ange's demands of buying experience and they can stick to punts.

As I said, not enough to keep him in my opinion - just can see a world where it is for the club.

And we could have lost. We’ve lost loads of important matches in the years since we won a pot. Lots of fine teams and managers have failed to get us there. Ange succeeded. It’s more than one match. More than one win. That’s the progress I can see being part of the club’s decision.

Okay.

I could flip that and say the year before Postecoglou grabbed 5th from the jaws of 4th because he lost important games.

Either way, we need to get clarity unless the silence talks of Postecoglou's continued stay.
 
Why are we talking about 84?
Are we going back in time and sacking Keef?

FFS, either you're Ange out or you're fucking wrong. Just go away if you can't take it that he's halfway out the door.

To accept the narrative that he binned the league off for Europe... You'd have to think he was Nostradamus and started the process of binning the league off in March 2024.. Such has been the length of our poor league trend.

Your point being what?

If he stays you will be perfectly happy with another season flirting with relegation?

Spending just over two grand a season on a season ticket to sit and watch us lose half our home games isn't an option as far as I am concerned.

Fuck what he has done on the past.

Both Jose and Conte have won far more (including on the PL) than Aussie Joe and were fired for less.

His end can't come soon enough for me.
