Same Villareal who sit 2nd bottom of thr CL group yet Bodo are comfortably above them?

Yeah Dortmund I will give you :D

They might have had a bad CL season (which can be down mostly to draw) but they’re a better team than Bodo. Put Bodo in La Liga and they wouldn’t be fourth lmao.

And oh look, we can beat Frankfurt away under Frank, the biggest win we had in the knockouts under Flange, shock..

No they're not hence why they finished 2nd from bottom and Bodo finished in the play off round, stop this nonsense.

It's good that Frank did what Ange did last season, all he has to do now is go on and lift this trophy to better him ;)

Hahahaha Villareal aren’t better than Bodo Glimt? Mate you’ve gone off the deep end FFS. Bodo manage to surprise a few teams and can be a tough nut away .. almost none of their players would get in to the Villareal team.

Frank would win the EL as it stood last season. I think that’s pretty much been shown. We’ve finished 4th in a much harder CL league and beaten Dortmund, Frankfurt, Villareal while giving PSG a half decent game. The best team we beat the entire EL run was Frankfurt!

Europe is so much easier. The EL is easy peasy squared atm for premier league sides. Look at the English results, lol.
 
Makes me wonder what an Ange season 3 would have looked like.

All I think is that the right decision was made in sacking him, the problem is that we replaced Ange with Frank.

Our squad is pretty bad anyway - no manager will do well with this lot that are always injured.

If only there was some sort of league phase that we could use to analyse it and tell who's better between the two teams?

Villareal managed to get 1 measly point out of 7, that isn't just bad thats uber shit and I have no idea why youre trying to cling onto this notion that they're better than Bodo, Bodo are just a better team than them. The fact that you cite players getting into their team totally misses the point of football being a team game, none of their players get into the City team but they still played them off the park last week.

And I'm not sure how you can be so sure that a manager who's never won anything would have won the EL, Frank doesn't have the know how or gravitas to get teams over the line.

ADS is an illness, some complete nonsense written in here today man :D

The gravitas to get over the line lol, mate it’s the Europa league not the World Cup, give the absolute nonsense a rest. It’s a B tier competition which loads of no name managers have won. Emery who is a tier 2 manager made it his absolute bitch. He probably uses them as fucking paperweights.

Even Di Matteo won a CL which is infinitely harder, and he had no gravitas either. Just loads of fucking luck.

The absolute nonsense you spout about a trophy we beat AZ, Frankfurt, Bodo and 16th United to win is hilarious. Acting like Ange is fucking Ancelotti for getting past Bodo Glimt in a semi final. Good grief.

Ange’s “know how” got him bottom of the only CL group he managed in. You don’t need “know how” to defeat AZ Alkmaar with Spurs.

Nah o one’s calling him Ancelotti, but dismissing a European run as meaningless just because you don’t rate the manager is down to your agenda and nothing else. Trophies are hard to win - European ones even more so so as much as you want to play it down he still deserves massive credit foing where other managers like Jose and Poch never went before.

Ange surpasses many managers who have failed to win with us in European competitio, he will go down as a legend of this club for getting this team over the line, thanks

Such lazy trolling, what a waste of electricity but, alas, to be expected from gutter dwellers.

Telling me im trolling in a thread you don't even want to be in, a subject you dont even wanna talk about with posts that you disagree with like 90% of them, you don't like the man so why are you still here?, 7 months after he's gone yet you're still hanging around lkke a bad smell, yet I'm the fucking troll 😆

Another professional victim.

Bore off you troll
 

I don’t think you know what the word troll means mate, no offence.

Why are you in this thread if you don't like the manager or the words being written?, did anyone ask you to click on it? Did anyone ask you to come in and read the posts? Do you have an obligation to be in here and feel offended?

Yet another professional victim who cries over the content in the thread, it's absolutely astounding that people like you dont seem to understand this.

If you don't want to offended then don't be in here, pretty simple.

I don't know why you seem to think I feel in the slightest way offended, I'm simply pointing out the fact you're gutter dwelling troll, pretty simple.

Ange took the gamble. Rested key players in the league and focused preparations on the Europa League. Brave decision that he knew would cost him his job either way, and risked being a laughing stock had we been knocked out of Europa.

Massive risk, but it paid off - And Spurs are now in last 16 of the Champions League because of it.

With 15 games to go, Spurs sit 9 points behind the Champs League qualification spots. Injuries again are limiting the squad. Frank and the club may very well have the same decision to make. This squad doesn't have the numbers fit to be able to compete in both competitions. I'd expect that it will be very difficult to motivate the players to finish top 6 as their target - they will all be saving their best performances for the CL now. Get knocked out of CL, and many of these players will be looking towards the World Cup, and a summer move away from Spurs to play European football.

The test for Frank now is not in formations, set plays, tactics. Its down to his man management and getting players motivated and playing at 100%.
 
Anyone got a tabulation of all the clubs that were without a manager who passed on him in summer, and all those which have changed managers since Forest chucked him out?

Being sacked 2 times in 6 months is impressive but I think the list of clubs who’ve been in dire straits yet have not even given Ange a sniff would also be impressive.

Trophies are hard to win no matter what level. Proof is that we have so few. But then to diminish it because of an irrationally visceral hatred for the manager is beyond ridiculous.

You really should read this, it's an all time classic.
Fairs.

I'll be honest he's absolutely horrible, I think many fans including myself was guilty of sipping the Ange cool aid because of his bravado and the way he talks but honestly if we played the way he carries himself in press conferences then we'd win the league but truthfully it's just a pile of wank.

What I don't get is how comes the players are coming out every week and saying good things about the manager yet on the pitch they're not even running for him anymore and stopped doing the basics, it's almost as if he's convinced the players that it's okay to lose as long as they are playing the right way because of his philosophy and if they keep doing the right things the results will start to bear fruit in the end, he's brainwashed our players just like he has brainwashed our fans, it's easy to see how because he's just so convincing but the guy's a complete charlatan.

Let's be real. we're not going anywhere near that Europa and likely to get done vs Frankfurt, when we get knocked out of Europe which effectively ends our season it's gonna hit like a ton of bricks...A lot of fans are banking on Europa out of pure hopium because it's a distraction tool for how shit we've been in the league.

Happy to admit I was wrong, massively and TBH I was being a bit of a cunt on here and trolling people the Ange outers for a few weeks, so I apologise to folk on here, maybe I should create an apology form for myself!

Love you all x

Had an argument with you two days ago and then you spend the whole of the next day trawling through my previous posts to one up me, brilliant, is this another one of your classic meltdowns I wonder...🫢

As for the post, saying I wanted him sacked then has absolutely 0 bearing on the fact that he's a legend of the club now because you know since then he kinda won a trophy, or did you miss that...?

Oh ,.... well let's see;

What a beauty that last one is, perfectly sums you up.
