You sure about that....

Are we really having a pissing contest about the relative merits, or otherwise, of the football records of England and Australia?
The ‘Ange was shit’ versus ‘Ange overachieved’ debate, as monotonous as it became, was a lot more entertaining than this.

England is about 500 or so miles long, not 1000. So it's even tinier than you thought.
As a person who was born and grew up in Middlesex England and then migrated with my parents to Australia, I can say I am proud to be associated with both countries and I firmly believe they are the two best countries in the world. Someone once said to me be proud of your heritage, but also give your allegiance to the country you have lived in for more than half your life and I have lived by that and it works very well. Australia is a very successful multicultural society which works and we have very successful sports people who have made that transition well, including Ange. He is the personification of a high achiever who has traversed both of his cultural backgrounds well and as an Aussie and a Spurs fan I am thankful he managed our club and won us a very overdue major trophy!This is forDeuterz .
(Note: Soccer down here equals football for you)
England has double Australia's population.
The number one senior sport in England is soccer whilst in Australia, it's about 4th.
Imagine if all those stars in AFL, Rugby League and Rugby Union decided to play soccer instead?
The average wage for an Aleague soccer player is $135,000 per annum.
The average wage for a EPL player is $75,000 per week.
And then we get to soccer matches between England & Australia.
Played in England: Australia 1 win - England 2 wins.
Played in Australia: Australia 0 wins - England 3 wins - and 2 draws.
So maybe Australians aren't the country bumpkin, inferior players that you suggest.
Or else maybe England aren't as good as you think they are. One semi-final, One final and One win back in 1966.
Pure madness that anyone is still defending this charlatan.
Only 3 managers in Spurs history have ever lost the majority of matches in a league season.
Billy Minter, 1912-13
Willie Evans, 1934-35
Ange Postecoglu, 2024-25
He's fucking shite.
Still, thanks for the trophy!
Absolutely. Everything was his fault. Fucking charlatan
Which is why we've flown up the table this season. Can't believe the dizzying heights we've reached since sacking him. As you rightly posted:
While I do, honestly, agree withVirginiaSpur 's post above - I've also stated multiple times that our squad was not as bad as the aussie amateur made it look. Consistent, cohesive, coordinated defending will go a very long way towards getting this squad to reach its potential. Frank seems to be doing a fairly good job of installing that.

I guess we can settle for a treble.
Correct, I included Scotland in that.
We’ve just had a meeting and would rather you didn’t do that. Thank you.
I suppose we've all been guilty of posting thoughts that subsequent event have shown to be unwise. I'm quite certain I've been as guilty as anyone. Having said that, the thoughts of MemphisWill that you've unearthed are comedy gold. A phrase used by Dubliners seems apt, "I'm scarlet for him" (translation: I'm extremely embarrassed on his behalf)Absolutely. Everything was his fault. Fucking charlatan

We all get things wrong.
It's those that come on here to double down on it as we slide ever closer to relegation that just makes me shake my head in utter morbid fascination.
Good, keep those dick shits in there and away from this beautiful thread for a beautiful man

Did you think that up all on your own or did you need mummy's help?
You just know he spent the entire time when he was binned to come up with that.
Watch out lads. The Derangers are sending their best as we slip ever closer to the relegation they demanded...
He’s the best but only in the sense that Dysentery is best when the other options are Cholera and Tuberculosis.Watch out lads. The Derangers are sending their best as we slip ever closer to the relegation they demanded...
He's travelling slightly better than poor old ThinkTank who has been driven completely insane ever since De Zerbi namechecked AngeBall as an aspiration for what might just help save us from relegation....
Never seen so much denial and futile rage. If we could bottle the energy Derangers put into pushing their insane theses we could solve the energy crisis forever.
Queenslanders drink XXXX, it's just about all they drink.
You're confusing that with Fosters.
