Behave John. You're a sensible poster. You can't seriously think there is anything meaningful in this comment?Brendan Rodgers Celtic is probably outperforming Ange’s Celtic. Especially in Europe.
Now that's food for thought .
If Ange drops us out of this comp in a manner we can criticise I'll moan about it too. But 3-2 away to Gala in a game we could afford to sacrifice, with our current absences? Do me a favour.
Ange did leave him a great team which he’s tweaked. Europe isn’t a comparison anymore. Their success in Europe has been against teams they would never have played in the previous group stage system due to seeding. They would never have gotten Slovak Bratislava for example.Brendan Rodgers Celtic is probably outperforming Ange’s Celtic. Especially in Europe.
Now that's food for thought .
Lol nah he is. There are some people on here I must admit it's hard not to suspect are just sad goiner trolls. But I was on this forum many years ago and remember JT, and he is a moany bugger but I think he's genuine Spurs haha
I'm not convinced it was a game we could afford to sacrifice .
It now puts pressure on our remaining group games where we'll have much more testing league fixtures to follow than relegation bound Ipswich at home.
If you're gonna sacrifice games, you do it when the jobs done and not before.
My Brendan Rodgers comparison is really just to put Ange's much lauded previous achievements in to some kind of perspective
BULLLLLLLSHIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT
Arsneal and Newcastle were not 'really poor performances'. The second half to Brighton and Palace I will give you though.
It fucking happens, it's football.
Fair enough on the last point, I don't agree particular cos I think it's a stretch to criticise our results thus far in the EL. But fair enough.
I'd be absolutely shocked though if this result affects our chances of winning this cup to be honest. And even though I want this club to win a cup more than I want the 4th best team in the league trophy.... home to ipswich has to be a win IMHO. No mucking about.
If we put out the strongest team possible got more injuries and had to play a weaker side than we wanted vs Ipswich you would not think that was good management either.
Ange has gone with this kind of team in the cups and we have done alright even if the opposition was not the level of tonight - we have also seen much more lauded managers play in worse tournaments, against worse opposition and drop points too.
We lost, and played poorly but have hopefully given our squad some much-needed game time and experience and, if Ange does his job from here, they will be better for it.
Joan T is a 24 karat wind up merchant. She loves it when we lose.
She is silent when we win.
I dunno tbh mate I try to ignore the forum beefs since rejoining cos it gets a bit silly. And John seems like someone I'd happily argue about a game over a beer with which is far more than I can say about certain other posters I've seen on here but ultimately I don't pay enough attention so happy to be proved wrong, and don't really care that much as life is too short.
John T posts on here when we win and when we lose. And like any proper Yid I hate it when we lose.
The funny thing is, you claim to have me on ignore. Yet after every win you make some kinda post asking "where's
Honest John
" . 
One day you'll understand, mate

So far this season we're 16 points and +11 GD. Poch's second season after 10 rounds we were 17 points and +8 GD.
Ange's first season we got 66 points and +13 GD, Poch's first season 64 and +5 GD.
Ange took over a side that had scored 60 points and +7 GD the previous season, Poch 69 points and +4 GD.
Yes we need to improve but so did Poch's side at the same stage.
Probably mainly need a bath and some sunshine.
Ange is not developing his players anywhere near the way Poch managed to.
Especially defensively. It was a very different system we played though.
I think anyone who’s going to compare this season and next season to the Poch equivalents as a barometer for Ange is going to get let down.
Apart from uber freak Kane, I don't think we saw mass improvements of players at this stage in Poch's 2nd season, it was around December when players such as Dele, Rose, Walker, Eriksen etc...started levelling up when we went on a run
