I don't know what's going to happen over the next couple of days.. All I know is that if I see an article from Alisdair Gold or Matt Law tomorrow where they've been briefed "no change of plan" or "complete support", I'll be sick.

You cannot start every week with, "The result at the weekend is very important. There's an awareness that results need to improve immediately" Only for us to end every week with a shit result... and then start the next week with, "The result at the weekend is very important. There's an awareness that results need to improve immediately"

I have never seen a manager clash with his fans like this. There have been managers who have been verbally abused and they take it. Its part of the job when results are bad. What is to be gained from clashing with the fans? ou cant win a fight with the fans

Its League Cup or bust. literally, win the League Cup or its over.

It’s over already for me and has been for over a year now!

Clueless, Classless, Cunt!
 
The odd thing is I don't think the loss today moves the needle for Postecoglou's supporters. They will just attribute it to the injuries and not getting transfers in. The board probably wants desperately to keep him until he can possibly win a cup. I don't think they'll do anything until they are sure silverware is an impossibility.

It shouldn't even get that far. Why does he "deserve" these cup games? The league is your bread and butter - the results have been beyond bad for months now. You have to play the same standard of team at the end of these competitions, and we've proven that we can't deal with ANY opposition. I don't understand how he's been given such a soft ride by a section of the fan base and leadership, I really don't.

The general cup results haven't even been good. We've been good in one competiton which is the league cup. In the FA cup we played Tamworth and were embarrassing, in the EL we've played essentially absolutely nobody of any note and struggled every time we have.

Essentially some league cup wins are saving his season. Which is batshit crazy.

I started watching gifs of Mr T during the game. That's what this club's done to me.

I would consider myself a "Postecoglou supporter" if that means just an ornery spurs fan sick of the sacky sack cycle we've endured since forever...

I would buy the fucking plane ticket to send him back to Oz if it meant we'd buy some quality forwards who score goals.

The injuries aren't an excuse they are a fucking existential crisis right now. I don't care who the fucking manager is.

Id even be happy to fuck all the cups off of it meant buying a forward who can keep us up. We can't keep playing the same second 11 players every three days and expect different outcomes.

Mate, he shouldn’t be reacting at all, it’s yet again another example of insecurity aimed towards supporters.

Ange was likely reacting to the fact he thought someone told him he could “fuck off” I am absolutely not buying this nice guy trying to protect the steward angle.

This behaviour tracks with him, we have seen it numerous times now and if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck etc.

You misunderstand me. I don’t think he was protecting the steward. I think he thought the “fuck off” was directed at him, which is why he reacted.
