Was the same when she presented on Talk sport. Had to turn it off.
But unlike that rascal Saville, I’d be thrilled if she sexually assaulted me.
How's Ange's Euros punditry so far? Any gems?
She's not good looking enough to get away with that.....
With a strap on?
Ideally, no. I see no reason for additional apparatus.
I’m more conservative in my sexual activities. Like a M&S pullover - classic, consistent but perhaps a little predictable.
Think he said "mate" at one point
I think a lot of that was just that so far the system hasn't created mismatches in the final third. Often it looked more like Gran Ball than Angeball. All those short passes to get there and then not much excitement once they arrived. But that should improve with better wing play. I also think the buildup got worse as the season went along, and that often meant arriving in the final third with the other side in good position. So, yes, it looked like a lack of energy but I think it was more a system that isn't working yet. I'll be optimistic and say that will change if the transfer window brings at least one good winger.
So put a figure on it? What’s acceptable? 5 wins? 2 points a game. Top of the league? What would you consider a reasonable start to the season? Do we say 15 points is the unders and overs line for where you think it’ll be? 4 wins and 3 draws from his first 10 given he and his one dimensional approach has been found out?
I guess I figured you cared about what he’d done elsewhere because you use it to be negative and dismissive when it suits so assumed, incorrectly it seems, it would work both ways.
Appreciate that. Figured I’ve watched Ange work in a similar manner, take heat while he works through some short term pain to regenerate in the pursuit of a bigger picture and achieve results enough times to see what he’s doing at your club too and would share. Not too concerned about the reactions, everyone can have their opinion, that’s football, I know how frustrating actual facts can be for them too.
Have a good one!
Cheers mateWatched your first season with Ange (and the commentary on this forum
Im in Brisbane where he took the Brisbane Roar to all kinds of heights and for what it’s worth I’ll say this
I wasn’t surprised by the injuries and mid to late season blips you guys experienced as the style of football he plays is high energy and it takes many players time to adapt and some just don’t cope with it longer term where others do. Once they come through this initial period and are more conditioned to it the volume of injuries reduces from the initial time. I know they’re footballers and fit etc but there’s still different levels even amongst the elite as I’m sure you can see by comparing players like Ndombele and VDV and the Ndombeles of the world are moved on regardless of reputation. As the season goes on the ones that “buy in” because it’s a new manager and the ones that really truly buy in get seen and will be what Ange referred to late in the season about players and his system. The ones that don’t truly get on board will either be moved on or find themselves on the periphery of the squad regardless of who they are as Ange is all about the team as a unit not any single player which is why the character of a player is so important to him. He’ll use this window to turn over a few and further fill the squad with the “right” player for how he wants the side to play both structurally and physically. He’s done it time and time again with sides and they pretty much always improve second season, time will tell I guess for the ones of you doubting he’s up to it.
As for comments he’s been “found out” by other managers now and his inflexible system won’t work etc etc it’s seriously laughable that you think no other manager in all his time has thought “what if we hit them fast and wide on the counter”?? Also if you don’t think while he absolutely has a style of play he’s steadfast on (most managers do) that he doesn’t tweak things depending on who he’s playing then you’re not watching very closely. There’s definitely tactical tweaks and selections made dependant on the opposition there for all to see, even some of the guys at Walkabout Creek FC!
The Prem is obviously one of the top leagues in the world with the best players, managers, everything so I understand the trepidation around Ange to a point but know he is a quality manager who will leave no stone unturned to keep driving your side to success, as he’s done everywhere previously.
Daniel will be delighted with another round of Postecoglou propaganda.
Welcome mate.
He mustn’t have popped in to do his usual reading of this forum for insight yet, haven’t seen him put a
on my comment. Anytime now though I’m sure. At least Jose liking it has helped me get through the day.

I haven’t seen him on any games yet, is he on BBC? TBF, I usually tune in for kick off and switch over during halftime.
ITV apparently. Don't get that here.
His first game is Saturday. Belgium vs Romania.
Lazy sod.
