6 points from the last 12.
Was generally accepted that 12 from 12 was doable.

Said I thought 6 was the minimum so think Ange is hanging on in there.

Next 4

City (a)
Fulham (H)
Bournemouth (a)
Chelsea (h).

6 points would be acceptable. I wouldn’t be surprised to get less though. Fuck knows what happens at the Etihad. Then we really need to show up against Fulham at home.

Problem is 6 points from those 4 and we are definitely in the realms of a season of mid table mediocrity.

3 points at the most and that’s a win against Fulham .

Arteta should be hung, drawn and quartered.

You can't blame them, can you?
OK, they are 3rd and 4th in the EPL but they are only 3 points clear of Spurs.

Problem is mate that were two points behind Fulham!

The atmosphere was better than I expected. I thought it would be a lot flatter.

Boos at half and full time, obviously. But apart from that, everyone was behind the team and willing them on. Fans are getting very fed up with a fear of the players though that is very noticeable, but the manager isn’t really getting any criticism around where I sit in the south stand

It's a funny one.

I think the general feeling amongst fans is they can see what he is TRYING to do but at the same time there are matches where we just fail to achieve this through whatever reasons (I don't actually know anymore).

Our home form this season has been pretty good, but what's riling me in the inconsistency especially against Ipswich at home and Palace away.

I can accept losing football matches to Newcastle away, even Woolwich I didn't think we deserved to lose but what I can't accept is losing today who no disrespect were playing Cambridge United two seasons ago and couldn't even beat Everton at home for fuck sake.

Why can't Ange or the players motivate themselves?

Complacency most likely. We were able to play well against City at home and Aston Villa but nah the players/manager cba with Ipswich at home.

I hate how he treats Europa, (like most our recent managers tbf) Gala was a tough but exciting fixture, what's the point of even turning up for a game like that if you are going to make 6-8 changes and get completely outplayed most the game, just so we can rest players and still lose (for the 3rd time in a row now) on the sunday. I want to see our best team available played in every Europa game, start taking it seriously again, we should have been aiming for at least top 4 with qualification guaranteed by Christmas. He says he is a winner well what is stopping him from winning Europa? So we can rest players for the over hyped boring PL with the aim of finishing 4/5th. What a dream...

But it's "The Ropey League" full of Farmers and Carlos Kickaballs no?

I STILL don't get why we thumb our noses at it... Such snobbery has no place at our club!

I'm almost at the point where I they should allow one fan per week into the dressing room to give a heartfelt team talk pre match, JUST to try and convey what it means to support the club.

I'm talking tactics, just pure, raw emotion and honest truths to the players about just what it means to be a fan...

'Cos I swear none of them know, remember or care what it TRULY feels like sometimes.

We're bottom half in the league over the past calendar year. Showing zero signs we will improve.

Ange had 2 good months out of the gate when it caught everyone by surprise. Since then it's been utter shite as every half decent manager has sussed him out.

Time for him to continue his circumnavigation of the globe and fuck off to the MLS.

100%.

It’s actually shocking how crap we’ve been over such an extended period of time. And shocking that some fans are still stubbornly defending it and trying to ignore large periods of time completely.

They’ll point to silky attacking moves and scream ‘SEE? ANGEBALL. PROGRESS’ and ignore the multiple times in that same game where we had no defence.

Three fucking clean sheets all season, two against 10 man sides, the other at home to Everton who don’t attack away from home. And we were lucky to not concede there.

We are a bang average football team under Ange, and he is a less than average coach at PL level.

In our last 5 league matches, we’ve lost 3-2 at Brighton after leading 0-2. We’ve handed the first and only wins of the season to Bottom 3 sides Crystal Palace and Ipswich. It is our worst start to a season over first 11 games since we were bottom in 2008/09.

That all adds up to playing crap in my book.

How can a stat like that be both staggering and unsurprising at the same time?!

That right there is your TRUE definition of Spursy!

Staggering, yet unsurprising!

New club motto:
Audere est Facere

Ange got found out at fulham away last season. But the alarm bells rang when we lost 5 in a row towards end of season. Pathetic to watch.

I think he only got a pass at Fulham because of previous results leading up to the game...
...and the last 5 games were partly brushed aside due to the Top 4 quality of the opposition...

But yes, alarm bells are one thing, but you can put that on the back burner when you win the games you SHOULD be winning (like Palace away and today)
...when you lose THAT ability, there really is nowhere else to hide.

We lost our ability to keep a clean sheet long ago... but now we've lost the fear factor of being able to come back to win from a goal (or 2) down after today!

0-2 down at home to Ipswich at ANY stage of the game is unacceptable.
 
Whenever we play teams like Ipswich who will fight and defend for their lives we seem utterly clueless. The system never changes, all this kamikaze defending and pissing around at the back is costing us points. Ange just doesn't learn. Out of his depth Imo. A change is needed now but, whoever they bring in will have to put up with Levy and they're in lies the problem.
