I seem to recall you asking how thick I was so it isn’t isolated to the English on this site, is it?Is it an English thing? To be so adversarial all the time? Because it’s quite boring to be honest.

Just ignore the Kiwi cunt.I seem to recall you asking how thick I was so it isn’t isolated to the English on this site, is it?
Respectable.There’s nothing more to say. You are wrong but I’m now content to just wait till the end of the season as it has become clear that recycling the same stuff weekly is pointless. No amount of individual results will make you back down from your positions. Total failure at the end of the season will.
You won’t see posts from me on the topic until he’s gone. Even if we lose both cup games coming up and he stays. Anything that can be said about him and his failures this season has been said.
Now who's the ignorant one?Aye whatever.
I think the manager is wrong for the club, you don't. I can deal with it, now dry up.
No idea what that means because we don't know what Ange exactly wanted![]()
But yeah I think he would be happy with the business we've done, even if he had to wait a whole month for it.
Yeah, I know it's harder in January but I can't help but be a little peeved that we spent a few weeks haggling over 5m for Danso when we were desperate, and it undoubtedly cost us points.No question the team has been supported by the club.
Very late though.

Ok, did a little rudimentary back-of-a-fag-packet research, so take with a pinch of salt:

Attributes I like:
- Fucking rapid
- Lovely shooting technique off his right; short backlift, good aim, often hits the far corner
- Similarly lovely clipped crossing tecnhiqu off his right when he cuts inside, good accuracy
- Nice close control
- Drives well towards the box, particularly in space
- Skills, looks like he can beat a man
Drawbacks:
- Unclear if he has a left foot at all. The one shot I saw off his left was terrible technique
- Unsure about his crossing ability off his left when he gets to the byline
- Looks much more comfortable on the left flank where we have plenty of options than the right or centrally where we really need players
- Don't think he looks massively comfortable playing with his back to goal, or laying the ball off, or physicality, so think he might have a ceiling as a striker (caveat, he's only 20 and strikers peak late)
- Not sure if he's your Mitoma-esque dribbling profile to stand on the left flank and dribble against a parked bus.
- Seems to prefer to play with space in front of him on the counter, hence why he might have suited Tuchel ball last year more than Kompany ball this year which is more possession based
- Maybe would suit the next manager more if they play with more invested wingers.
That said, liimited sample size. Overall am more pro the signing than I was half an hour ago because it's clear he's got real ability. But to me he looks very raw and a 60m investment on a player who Bayern bought for 20m 2 years ago and who hasn't set the world alight since would make me incredibly nervous. For 70 you could buy Kvara who is the proven article. This guy's fee seems massively overinflated to me and im praying it's just a loan for now.
Still you. Now piss off tbh.
When you say the next option is Ryan Mason, you do realise he’s not going to suddenly change offices and start ordering everyone about.His only failures this season are in the league. Yes its been bad but levy has rightly given ange the cup games as he probably knows a change in manager will not see us get top 6 anyway. Plus there is no point in firing him when the next option is ryan mason.

He’s just the head of the collective ‘club management’, so he will be working with all the assistant coaches and as a unit they will steer the first team in an interim period.
In fact, his main role will be to talk to the cameras and not say anything too exciting.
I get that people might not want that, but I think his role is more than a little over egged.
Same mentality that led to United keeping Ten Hag, even thought the entire footballing community knew that doing so would be fucking retarded. And look how that turned out. Another 200m blown in the summer on a busted flush manager and now United are having to sell their academy stars to break even. If we're not careful we could be in the same situation in a year.If we win a cup and can get back above 10th or so, I guess I would consider letting Ange continue.
Personally disagree. I’d have fired him in December.Yes but its just not worth doing. I actually think levy has done the right thing by not bowing down to the pressure and firing ange.

But I understand the reluctance to have Mason in charge. My only point is that he’s not going to be some aloof dictator that suddenly starts imposing odd new tactics. He’ll simply work with all of the senior coaches and likely manage by consensus.
