That would be very Spurs-like in fairness

If you think sackings are expensive, just wait til you find out about relegation…
Dudes widows peak looks like a hedgehog.
I find him funny in very short dosesI don’t understand how anyone can watch this guy, he isn’t funny and he’s annoying af.
No it’s who levy will get. He’s a cheaper version of Iraola.I know I've made the joke before that the worst thing about getting Iraola as our manager would be every cunt spelling his name wrong but this is surely a pisstake?
It's clear that he wants to keep his usual high block + just-run-at-the-opposition-damnit pressing intact despite everything, yet the situation we're in necessitates the almost total opposite. A much more measured, back to basics approach that relies on compactness and is willing to grind out results by any means necessary is the order of the day. What we're witnessing at the moment is the downfall of a one trick pony.
Some players are still trying to press in the manner envisioned by Ange, but most can't do it consistently due to -I guess- exhaustion. Result is a team that is even more open, and even easier to play through, than it usually is. Add the fact that goals have dried up, and it's now impossible to outscore anybody in the usual Ange fashion. Since his entire gimmick is built upon trying to outscore, any other consideration be damned, he has fallen to pieces.
Injury crisis only acted as a catalyst to this collapse, it is far from telling the whole story. Even under the best circumstances, his one dimensional approach contained this kind of a risk of total collapse. Under him, you're doomed as soon as goals stop coming in the usual abundant fashion (3+ a match) for whatever reason. Now that we're not scoring more than one in most matches, we can't get any results. Simple as that.

Why back Ange now? Do you get any hope that he'll turn this around by watching us play, any at all? He's clueless, with this squad a reasonable position in the table would be about 7th-8th. Not 15th. Thats why we need to sack, not back Ange now. If we had seen any progress at all in the 20 months Ange has been here, I might have supported that stance. But all I see is a team that has regressed, gradually gone worse the longer Ange has stayed.
Yup. Will be interesting to see the atmosphere on Thursday. Think that’ll affect the result too. I do dislike early Sunday kickoffs. Today felt a bit like a Boxing Day fixture in terms of the crowd being behind the team. The football certainly didn’t help that. The loudest chants were the levy out ones. We don’t feel like a twelfth man at the moment and that’s something the other clubs struggling do seem to have more.
“Players are giving everything” is no hiding place. As it either means, they are giving everything but are not good enough or much worse they have set a culture that it’s alright to lose as long as you try. It’s not.
Imagine a winning club with that sort of attitude? Actually imagine a winning club where the under 23 squad are 50% first team starters.
Wankers from Levy downwards.

Ange is clearly an affiliative leader.
The early success followed by growing failure is absolutely textbook results from such a “leadership” style

Ange is unequivocally the biggest most pressing problem right now.
He's also the easiest and quickest problem to deal with.

We’ve lost a lot of games already with them. You’d think people would know and remember.
Wouldn't make it about sex. She's clearly FAR more clued up than every last one of the fans that thought this season would go well.
And most of those are men.
A lot of them are quite prominent in the media.
