You're such a moments guy. I bet you're the type whenever a hot chick says hi to you, you think that's it I've met my future wife...even though she's actually a nutter and frigid.
Pal, anybody can play the monstrosity Ange has fed us them last few rounds of the Europa League...proper peak 80s Serie A. I bet even Nuno, Jose, Tony Pulis, Big Sam or George friggin Graham thought "fuck me, that's negative anti-football shit". And that was in a comp with the talent level of the Champo.
Funny how your dearly beloved completely shat on his own football principles & philosophy when he realised the only way to save his job & fat paycheck was to play uber scaredy-cat stuff that we'd have murdered other managers for (Spurs or other teams).
You're tilting at windmills dude.
We've been shit this season and if Ange continues he will be on very thin ice if the caliber of football we've been playing this season continues. We can't just tolerate losing all the time.
AND YET, his absolute #1 remit upon taking over, the same as Jose and Conte, was to break the trophy drought, accomplishing that is a huge fucking deal for the club, worth celebrating and being proud of, and it was his side that had the nous and maturity to do the business away from home in high-pressure situations of do-or-die matches.
Over the past several years we've had brilliant, top-class football. We did not have it this year and we'll need and demand it going forward, but we know it can be done at Spurs even with the Levy handbrake on. What we have NOT had is the steely nerve it takes to lift trophies. Fair fucking play to Big Ange for instilling that, that's a benefit we can carry even when he goes.
Its literally just a Europa League version of what Di Matteo did to get past Bayern, Barcelona etc. And he won the FA cup the same season too.
I'll give Ange credit for doing it, it was better than his actual fucking system and it got us over the line .. but fuck me it's hardly genius.
I'd hold off on predictions. But if forces I still think he is gone think it's 60/40
Steely nerve. Fuck me, I guess Crystal Palace have the stuff of champions too.
Winning trophies is mostly a huge dose of luck and circumstance. Unless we're talking the premier league, champions league, world cup, euros etc where you still need a huge dose of that, but also a huge dose of actual quality and a winners mentality because its THE cup all other winners are in.
The EL is a huge slice of "who is actually going to take this seriously" and if you're there you can win it. Some better penalties and Rangers would have lifted this shit.
Anyway, I'm not gonna let the fucking fanatics who want to make this football political instead of accepting it for what it is ruin a great night. Like I said, boring as hell.
LOL
Celebration security guards.
yes falsely calling me a killjoy who doesn't want people to celebrate is a personal shot. but you know that
If a lucky rabbit's foot is all Ange is, so be it, we needed a lucky rabbit's foot.
I think he starts next season. But he won’t finish it.
I forgot the "actually taking it seriously" factor. Well I did mention it later in the post.
We didn't win the ropey league under Poch because we, on numerous occasions, rotated the team because it was a sideshow to the competitions big teams take seriously.
Ange made it his everything and we won it. Well done. He's a rabbits foot .. now he can fuck off, purpose served.
Which D?
Yeah who knows, the club comes first though
Not individuals
Don't waste your time or energy with him, my man. I've been alive in what feels like forever and met thousands of people along the way, but rarely have I met such an opinionated, arrogant, obnoxious, rude and judgmental individual who gets his kick out of belittling people he doesn't agree with...or just cause it allows him to grandstand online. God knows I'd like to meet him irl someday, to tell him exactly that to his face, the Piers Morgan meets James Corden wannabe. Small dick syndrome in full force.
I don't think he's done anything to alleviate the worry for next season. However, I do think he's earned the right to prove us all wrong, or not as the case may be.
One thing is for sure, if he is still with us next season, he's on a knife edge in his early games.
Yep I saw the same thing directed particularly at Deuterz - think I even had a crack myself until I read his posts and realised he was pretty reasonable chap (until he gets pissed off and ends up in the sin bin
) But
I think you are ignoring the vastly greater amount of abuse directed at posters, players and manager which is just completely over the top and has been an issue in this fanbase and others. For every
Deuterz
,
Doom Funk
or
Incomplete_usernam
you get a
daveyboy88
who posts constant abuse and, worse, approvingly posts Darren Bent as a reliable voice on spurs. Which should be instaban in all multiverses 
Please, if Shaw doesn't score an OG there's no way in the world we were scoring yesterday. We didn't even put a shot on target. No one who watched that match ever saw a scoring threat from us. The players won the match, they won by digging in and refusing to allow a goal. Jose was smiling watching that.
We won precisely because we abandoned Angeball. We won by gritty defending, by doing the opposite of what he's going to come back and try to do, his system that works only if you're Celtic playing men against boys. His system is dogshit, it's the reason we are in 17th, and yes - basic competent football managers like those managing the clubs who are ABOVE US that you are binning, having far less resources than we do and still being miles above, those managers would be likely to improve our fortunes immediately and dramatically.
It was a typo . I meant also not always
