Glad he isn’t but glad he was! :angecup:

Still I kind of think he should have just gone abroad after us , the only way is down from here , retire from PL football after winning where Poch , jose and conte failed to , be remembered for the guy who doubled down on “I don’t usually win, I always win”
Literally the coldest quote in football .

Wait and see, exactly. FWIW, I think he’s mental going there as I don’t think he’s got a chance to capture the form of Forest last season.

Pains me to say it, but if I were him, I’d have waited for West Ham to come up. The only way is up there.

Disagree the only way is up with Ange in charge. West Ham spent many years in the Champ

Not surprised at all by the result. He’s an overrated manager who was completely and utterly worked out by this league, attempting to run his outdated “style” with a squad that doesn’t suit it — see Murillo going off after only half an hour of it.

It’s a joke of an appointment that could’ve only been made by an unhinged lunatic like Marinakis. He’s a shit manager and an arrogant, thick cunt. Anyone who supports him is an idiot.

Forest got absolutely battered yesterday. Battered. Looked like two leagues below the Arse tbh

What swash buckling football will anyone remember? That’s made up rubbish if people were to hark back to something that didn’t exist. There were a handful of games out of nearly a hundred games that we displayed anything like that type of football.

He’s as low down as Ramos for me and does anyone remember him in high esteem? No.

100pc. The biggest myth is that his football is high energy swashbuckling. It’s slow, tedious clueless horseshoe passing. Other than a few games out of a 100 as you say. It was turgid. I’m more “entertained” by Franks style. And I like winning

Okay...which one of you is this on the Forest forum? Weird existence following Ange about.

A new fan here, yes because of Ange. I’m stoked he’s been given another opportunity at such a storied club. I may be divorced by seasons end as the missus is sick of me watching games at ungodly hours, or taking over the TV first thing in the morning to watch a replay before I hear the scores. And fwiw, I do believe the squad, club and supporters are a much better fit for Ange. Also I must say reading the forum here you’re a much nicer mob than that Spurs lot. So much name calling and personal attacks on their forum. Good luck and let’s celebrate another European trophy this season.

embarking on a new internet journey with a new audience to tell them all about the glory days in south melborn, what it was like educating the world on ancient football philosophies, reflecting on frayed copies of shoot magazine and generally supporting someone in a quest for the next redundancy? It's going to be a wild ride but it should be worth it.
 
I do think it's hard to judge Forest away against Woolwich, as unfortunately the scum are one of the best teams around at the minute (puke). In saying that though, they were garbage and all the gaps were there.

But I actually think they could go out of the cup midweek away against Swansea and the pressure will start to mount up.

Even if they win, I think it could be a really short tenure. Only variable is how much time Marinakis will give his buddy when the pressure ramps up.

It really isn't.

Woolwich were not great. They didn't need to be.

Forest were shite.

Woolwich took the lead with a worldy and Forest defended the edge of the 18 yard box, and OK in general, during the first half.

What was obvious was that Ange told his defenders to defend higher in the 2nd half.

Goons took 2 minutes of the 2nd half to play a ball in behind and add a 2nd goal that was very similar to loads of goals Spurs conceded last season.

Ange is a fucking disaster and Forest are going to hell.

Until scores are settled...a sacking isn't enough for some. I think the hatred will die down once the door is closed on him in this country.

Many on here, while implicitly now acknowledging Levy did the right thing re Ange and Frank, also

— think he shouldn’t have been sacked
- think he’s a great coach because he won the EL

Some of us disagree based on what Ange says, does and how his teams perform. And we want that played out again in front of his acolytes
 
This entire situation really boils down to this imo:

Everyone involved (Spurs, Ange, the fans) can acknowledge that winning the EL was a great achievement.

But everyone involved can also point to the league form and say that Ange did not do a good job domestically. The EL is not a shield for Ange to hide behind.

Why does it matter how many languages I speak? Foolish question.

Perhaps English not being your 1st you can’t read the room very well.

Obviously the CL is a bigger competition. Your position of trying to belittle our UEFA league win for us is peculiar. It also doesn’t matter in the test of time. We won it. We are winners. It was a glorious night. Thats what this game is about.

Not sure whether your attitude is arrogance, ignorance or just trolling.

Personally I think you’re just an idiot who wants to drag people down to their level and beat them with experience.

До свидания! 👋

Not really foolish question. You questioned my grammar.
And I could not care less about reading the room. If 100 people talk shit, unlike you, I can have different opinion.

Literally the discussion started from someone quesitoning if EL is lesser trophy. Which it is. And you agree with it. So... yea sure, dragging down and blahblahblah.

No one nowhere have actually rebutted the facts I stated, but sure. Room. And masses. And group thinking and everyone have to think same way.
