Wow - you checked!

So BFC have the SECOND lowest in the PL. Really glad you pointed that out, makes all the difference.

Don't put words into my mouth. I never said that. I think Frank missed a trick in the game at WHL, playing out from the back where we were full of energy and closed them down very well. It shows I can be critical of someone who I think is generaally pretty good. But the away match we were poor. Maybe you didn't see either game?

And as for doubling them, it's a marathon not a sprint and head to heads don't tell you very much. Is Horseface at Leics better than Ange just because they beat us 2-1 at WHL? Is Ange better than Pep cos we beat them twice home and away?
I watched both games and if we were poor and won 2-0 in the away match what does that say about Frank?? Shit Spurs with shit Ange can still beat him comfortably. And it was comfortable... they had 4 shots on target and 54% possession. Plus they had 4 days more rest than we did leading into this game. Plus we were missing 4 of our starting back 5 (only Porro played), no Solanke, no Johnson... and they had their full team out. You make yourself sound uneducated when you go on about Frank being light years better than Ange but back it up with little to no substance.
 
Frank being light years better than Ange but back it up with little to no substance.
well you could look at the PL table. A tiny budget and he finishes 10th, and Ange the clown in charge of the 8th richest team in the world and finishes 17th.

but hey we doubled them so all's good in the Ange world

PL table doesnt lie

and as someone else said here Tactics Tim doubled Poch. So that makes Poch look bad generally? Or just on 2 occasions? Or not at all?
 
A squad missing 6 of their starting 11 played a game every 3.5 days for nearly 3 months. No break. No training. Play, record. Play recover.

By mid Feb they were fucked, tired and burnt out.

A decision has to be made. Win a trophy and qualify for ECL or fight for 6th.

No coach in the history of the premier league has had to deal with this number of injuries to their primary players.

Ange has earned our respect. Put this club back on the pedestal and given this group of players the belief that they can win.

It's not a case of "will Ange get sacked"....it's a case of will Ange stick with Spurs. There is not a single club in world football that wouldn't jump at the chance to hire a guaranteed winner.

Yeah like Ange's masterclass won us the EL 🤣

Right, he luckily beat the same team 4 times this season.

A 90 game of football that involves 100's if not 1000+ touches of the football by 22+ different players, involving hundreds of actions, is nothing to do with luck, and when you extrapolate that over 4x the games, luck has absolutely nothing to do with it - primarily because luck doesn't exist.

What we have here is someone who is so entrenched in their worldview and dislike for another human being that didn't win them enough football games, that they convince themselves of something that fits into that view, regardless of how completely unrealistic and idiotic it is.

The general consensus from the entire football world, except for bitter, weird spurs fans is that Ange coached us to victory.

Back from your hol's Ange.

🤔
 
Pep says ‘Hi!’

:ange-arms:

On that basis you’d take Ange over Pep?!

You are comparing Pep, who has achieved everything in the game and has proven how tactically astute he is time and time and time again to Thomas Frank who 'kept brentford up around the top half a few times'

FML

Yeah but you’re claiming Ange beating Frank means everything?!

Sherwood beat Poch!

Proves nothing!

I mean, it proves that Frank could not set his team up to beat Ange on 4 occasions.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Sherwood relied on an OG and a last-minute worldie from Siggurdson to beat Poch - they weren't comprehensive victories, and the Ange vs Frank sample size is 2x

Franks Brentford side have looked shit against us every time they played us the last two season except the very first one of Ange game in charge.

The luck is in the fact we played absolutely nobody who was actually good you absolute fruitcake. 16th in the prem. In a final. THAT is luck.

Considering where Ange has come from, the things he’s won in every country he’s been and the fact he’s now finished 5th, then won a major European trophy… at Tottenham Hotspur!!

Then compare that with Frank who comes from a traditional football country, is yet to win anything and had a much easier route to the PL,

Ange and Frank’s careers aren’t even remotely comparable. Frank is a million miles behind. Different hemisphere, literally and figuratively
