Cut the curtains
It was ok yes. He had a monster new manager bounce. Have to give him some credit for that. Made a big mistake surrendering CC at Fulham.
At the start of this season I said on this Board I'd take a low league position and a cup, and I 100% stand by that. I just think now (A) the monkey is off the back (B) our league form is so bad and the risk of relegation (C) the inherent unlikelihood of a poor manager repeating the same trick ... that we can and should do better.
We were found out. Simple as. Surprised it took the PL teams 10 games!Well yes because it indicates a direction of travel.
Those first ten games were electric, and if they were recent obviously people would say there's something brewing there. But they're not recent, they're long gone and that form has never looked like being recaptured since.
Not with the Wollongong Rhinos sniffing aroundIt's a complete fantasy that it's back to Whittlesea Zebras for Exposed Fraud Ange.
To go from a dreadfully negative, genuinely cowardly team with no spark or life that was totally reliant on Harry Kane for chance creation to selling Kane, immediately benching three other ever-presents (Lloris, Dier, Hojbjerg), and from minute 1 of game 1 playing Angeball, an entirely different philsosophy of play with entirely different principles, was a really extraordinary revolution. I couldn't believe it at the time.Don't think we were as fantastic as people maybe remember in those 10 games. We played a lot of duff sides and after Conte, Stellini and Mason, perhaps was easy to look wonderful.
You see.. I don't think he should stay at all.. But I do think that reveal would bang..It would make quite the video if he came out with the new kit on , turned around and it says “season 3” on the back!

How many European campaigns did poch go deep into whist getting top4 .
Several is the answer.
Ange cannot. It is simple as that. Move him on
Maybe so. Either way, I haven't seen anything from Ange that suggests he is willing or capable to change anything up to try and capture that form again.We were found out. Simple as. Surprised it took the PL teams 10 games!
No. I am pointing out that yes we won a cup. Brilliant. Excellent etc great.So you just want to go back to being a football club where our aim is top 4 so the money keeps on rolling in for levy , but we never actually win anything?
Is that another Alessandro Diamanti then, not the ex Italian international who played in Serie A and the Prem?? Hilarious the depths you'll stoop to.
His second season in the Europa League Round of 32 against Fiorentina was the only European knockout tie Poch ever won here outside of the 2019 CL run.1 is actually the answer. 4th place and Champions League runner up.
No other season did we go what I would regard as 'deep' in Europe.
the embarrassing thing is, the goal didn't even stand, then hes lied on top of that. he was always going to lie anyway, as hes never going to admit why he ear cupped, but for the goal to be ruled off tooYeah, I didn't care much about the cupping to his ear. It's human to lose your composure when the pressure's on. But I lost respect for him when he lied about why he did it.
At Brentford?Got a bad feeling he'll be given the start of the season.
Thought it would happen today.
And then when he's sacked at Xmas, no one is going to be available...it must be done asap for the good of the team...Got a bad feeling he'll be given the start of the season.

After a career playing at the highest level for club and country, something you're deliberately ignorant of. He's not someone who's spent his whole career in Aus, Japan & Scotland before getting a Prem job is he but then you know that already, simply lashing out cos your idol is in danger, tut tut.It’s the one learning to coach in Australia
Keep clinging on to your ignorance mate. It suits you
Really?
In fairness the word has been, "decision this week".. It is only Monday.. I don't think that "no announcement" is an indicator in either direction. Because either way, there'll be an announcement of some sort.. If he's going, it'll be a club statement.. And if he's staying it'll be a briefing to the press.Got a bad feeling he'll be given the start of the season.
