Mason and Wells could have left this team far higher up the table and won this cup playing non-bonkers football with moderate tactical application.

And showed the fans actual respect, appreciation and gratitude instead of snide, sneering disregard.

No teams down from CL and the fixtures have been super kind to us.

The squad/players have been criminally held back from fulfilling their potential output.

We all watched it every single fucking week for over a season and a half.

So lmfao at anyone thinking they're gonna come in here and chat shit cause the PLAYERS have managed to overcome all the hurdles this fat blob has put in front of them.

Do not bother.

Just enjoy the cup and praise the players.

Because it would be THEM that deserve it for all they have overcome.

And THEY would be the ones deserving a statue (before there the thickos start calling for it).
Agreed. Although if we win I will bid Ange a heartfelt if belated fond farewell.
 
i know if any of our rivals were in our current position i'd never let them forget our glorious run through middle earth to the scrabble cup. i'll be very happy to win but folks are losing their minds over this just so they can prop up ange's bloated dead corpse and claim some personal vindication. it's pathetic really
Is it pathetic? The vast majority of people on here that you assume want to prop up Ange just want to win a trophy.

I personally couldn't give a shit if Mason led the team out, or Ange, or the tea lady, as long as we win.

We havent won a trophy in 17 years, haven't won a European trophy in 4 decades. Yet 'fans' like you are trying to diminish the achievement by calling it the scrabble cup and a worthless trophy thats easy to win. That is pathetic.
 
Di Zerbi's Brighton teams were fun to watch. They played out from the back, but they got forward quicker. Once on the attack they were more clever about the ball to players in the box. Also, they weren't as vulnerable defensively when they turned the ball over. The biggest knock on him is that his system didn't play as well in the second season, which is the same problem with Postecoglou. I doubt Di Zerbi would be the pick, mostly because he seems happy where he's at. That, and somehow I think they might rationalize keeping Postecoglou going into next season.

De Zerbi was already struggling at Brighton by the time he left. Don't think he's anything special and he's a total weapon

I like his style of play mainly because Brighton was always able to break out quickly from the buildup and was creative in the final third. I think the negatives with him are the possibility the league caught up with him in Year Two and his disposition. He's volatile and might not stay anywhere that long. If he couldn't get along with management at Brighton, due to their not getting him the players he wanted, how would he like working for Levy? But, it's all speculation. Postecoglou still has the job and may even get to keep it.
 
We’re on the cusp of a European final; something most clubs would kill for, and somehow the bigger priority for some is preserving their ego and shouting “I told you so” into the void. It’s genuinely embarrassing.

Imagine caring more about being personally vindicated than seeing the club lift silverware. You can think Ange isn’t the long-term answer and still enjoy the fact we’re 90 minutes from a trophy. These petty point-scoring debates from “both sides” are microscopic and worthless imo not to mention childish at this point.

There shouldn’t even be sides anymore, we should all be together knowing that we are on the cusp of something special, who gives a fuck about the manager, they come and go, trophies stay forever!

We should be celebrating together imo not turning a moment of hope into a battleground of egos, some of you need to remember that.

I should imagine it's just the usual 3 or 4 clowns that love when we lose, and downplay when we win.
They aren't really worth the effort. They're either gooners or absolutely fuckin weirdos
 
Where do you think Man U and Spurs would be in the league in neither had been in the EL this season and did not have to play the 14 extra mid-week games it took to get to the final?
If you want to be one of the big boys then midweek European nights come with the package.

Credit to him for getting us to this final but using European matches to justify still being below 40 points in May is tragic.

Yeah had that gimmick of getting teams to press them and then creating transitions against the press.

Then teams sat off and they started losing.

People def clocked they could wind him up as well.

you're misrepresenting what i've said. i'm arguing with the people who are propping up ange and not the 'vast majority' who want to win a trophy while not propping up ange. i want to win a trophy and that's what it will be, a trophy. there's no need to diminish it but there's also no reason to overstate its significance which is what the weekend at ange's folks are doing.

winning this will be great and take some of the sting out of this miserable season and a half under ange but it won't erase it. ange can fuck off into the sun win or lose for what he's done here. he's a disgrace

My goodness. The number of keyboard warriors spoiling for a fight and aggressively jumping on anyone who does not share the exact same opinion, amongst fans of the same club, is truly shocking. This forum has become a manifest of bitter hate and ignorance.

It’s very mild now compared to what it used to be!

People still listening to Shady who came back and did a grovelling apology admitting he was wrong and was just trolling & has now returned to doing the same trolling he already admitted to. Why?

People who can’t separate disliking Ange no matter what and not over inflating the teams we’ve beaten in order to big him up & still wanting us to win are also insane.

I hate this coach. His work this season is abysmal. It’s amazing we’re in a final but practically speaking no coach should survive because they had a cup run consisting of AZ, Frankfurt, Bodo and this United side.

It does not prove him a good manager. It does not show that we will build on this cup. We might be able to ride that wave to go and get a better coach but let’s not be sucked in to the same error Chelsea made with Di Matteo or United made with Ten Haag.

Not that we’ve won the final yet. The way some posters are crowing about Ange you’d think it was done. Weirdly arrogant. United are by a country mile the best team we would have beaten in this competition, and no Frankfurt are not better.

If we do win it - sack him, use the trophy + extra CL money to hire an actually good coach. Sadly from the shite the club is putting out lately I fear we keep him, in which case we will be in a similar position next season.
