Maybe if you manage Brisbane Roar, you look at the likes of Palace and Fulham and think these clubs are something special and having your arses handed to you by such elite opposition is no bad thing.
But when you are Tottenham Hotspur, losing to these types of teams in such insipid ways is simply not acceptable.
Nothing in this man’s CV suggested he should have been assistant First Team coach, let alone actually in charge. That he then surrounds himself with even worse tat speaks volumes. None of this mob would be employed in the Premiership elsewhere. Arse holes.

would go on to lose 20 games in a season??? youre joking!
We aren’t even good in Europe either so the whole focusing on EL stuff is nonsense. Losing to AZ (and being lucky it was only 1-0) was abysmal and in the second game we strung together a few nice attacks but they had chances they didn’t take because they’re championship level.
I expect nothing from a decent team like Frankfurt over two legs. AZ, Elfsborg and Ferencavros, those are the teams we can be relied on to beat in Europe.

It's who we are mate
Like I said, this has been such a bizarre -to say the least- appointment since day one that I initially was sympathetic to people who were trying to see a manager in him that was never really there. Because the alternative explanation, that Levy and co dropped the ball to such an unprecedented degree, seemed to violate the principle of parsimony above anything else. In fact that was the reason why I initially tried extra hard to see the good in him, in a way that I usually don't do with other managers. His extremely weak background actually worked in his favour in this context.
But at this point we have everything we need to conclude that Levy and co did indeed drop the ball with this appointment to a degree that they can reasonably be accused of malevolence instead of simple incompetence. There's no excuse anymore for defending this guy in any shape or form, or for continuing to keep him on the job.
Going back to the basics with Mason, featuring a simple 4-4-2 and route one football, would still be infinitely better than this. And this is coming from someone who neither rates Mason nor likes the idea of keeping an interim in charge for an extended period of time.

I remember you (i think it was you) was one of the only ones that agreed at the time it was utter madness. I would say 90% of the fanbase claimed they admired Ange for it and were praising him galore.
There were 42 games played in that 93/94 season so its even worse under Ange.
that was the moment i realised this idiot is not a football manager at all. since then its been proven over and over again.
the fans that applauded that shite havent got a clue about football either. so you can see why they took to this chancer.
fans that thought that was 'brave' should go and take an interest in another sport or hobby because they are embarrassing themselves with football.
We rarely beat good teams in Europe, Prem or domestic cups. Only really a handful of exceptions and its been that way since the first 10 last season.
2 wins, 2 draws 11 defeats against the current top 10 this season. it was similar last season. Couldnt beat Gala, Roma or Rangers in Europa. The biggest myth is that you never know which Tottenham will turn up or that we're inconsitant. Our results are actually incredibly predictable.
Let’s lose 5 more and make Ange our history making manager!
Always on the manager. No idea why fans get at players. Managers do the team selection.
For me, it's simply that there is not one thing that generates confidence.
No structure, no solidity, no attacking finesse. No durability.
I don't think it's easy but there is nothing that Postecoglou can point to that fans can and should believe in. 20 months. Not good enough.
