Some more stats from our EL final against the shittest Man U side you'll ever see:

35% possession
3 total attempts (1 on target, arguably)
0 'clear' chances
1 run into penalty area
66% pass accuracy

We won, and that's what matters - but it was absolutely despite the way we played, not because of it.

Somehow we managed to get out-clowned by manchester united that day.

Not that I'm complaining because I'm still fucking delighted we won. Can't pretend we won in the same way PSG dicked Inter Milan though.

That said, as far as cup finals go, I don't give a fuck how we win them, so long as we win them. It's the 20 plus losses in the premier league that I find far more intolerable.
 
If slabhead maguire had not of scored against Lyon we weren’t winning no European trophy. Simples.
Ange can give all the motivational speeches he wants. He got lucky.
Time to move him on.
 
It will never again be as good as 90 minutes of hoofball against the 16th worst team in the Prem and being settled by Backstick Frontstick Beej hooking the ball away from goal onto Luke Shaw's immense bust to ricochet back towards goal, and be guided in by a delicate flick from BJ's stray bootlace!

NEVER AGAIN!
Wether you're Ange in or not fella, this sounds like a soundbite from a stroppy, salty, bitter, angry Woolwich fan than a fan of the team that just won a major trophy tbh. I can imagine this sort of tirade being all over the gooner forums....🤷‍♂️
 
Nobody likes the 22 defeats in the league. Was utterly embarrassing and there was no hiding that. But you can't deny that he does bring some winning mentality into the club and players. And he delivered the silverware. It's a shame the club and some fans are not used to it.

We all appreciate him winning the Europa but it’s because we aren’t used to silverware that some fans are going soft on him.

At any elite team, if you won a lesser trophy like the EL but finished 17th in the league, you’d be thanked politely and told to find a new club.

Yawn...stop trying to pay down our EL win in an attempt to get at the manager, it's so boring and you sound like an Woolwich fan, just stop.

The only thing to take note in your post is that we won and that's all that matters, who gives a toss?? Would you rather we lost and played like PSG, I wouldn't and I doubt many people would either.
 
It doesn't make sense replacing him with Thomas Frank after we've just won the Europa. Parker? Silva? none of these managers have won anything. It sends a really bad message if we replace the manager that has won the club major silverware with managers who haven't won anything.

Xavi, Glasner, Emery and yes ok that's fine. We can still send the message that winning silverware is actually important but there's something really odd about replacing him with a manager that hasn't won anything right after we've won something. This is feeling like they're doing it to not follow through with Ange's demands of buying experience and they can stick to punts.

At last. Someone gets it. And explains it far better than I could

Haha, how is that a tirade?

It's a fairly accurate summation of the Final in response to a ridiculous "it'll never be this good again!" video from SM.

If you really think that the 90 minutes in Bilbao was peak footballing brilliance then fair play to you, I thought it was abject. Does that take away from my enjoyment of winning the Cup? No, 90% of the other games this season chipping away at my emotional attachment to the Club, filling me with apathy, and boring my enthusiasm out into an empty husk did that...

I agree to a certain extent, but how is the UEFA cup a 'lesser trophy' exactly?
What's bigger bar the league and champions league?? I've got news for you..we're not gonna win either of those in the near future!.....👍

I can't help imagining Ange watching this with his jaw dropped, tongue slightly exposed and an expression on his face like he has the worst headache he has ever experienced!

alien language to him! his idea of being a good manager is getting the players to run hard for the love of their families and be ultra high up the pitch, with the added genius spark of having full backs acting as the most important playmakers on the pitch.....

Simply saying if you stuck your post on a neutral forum and ask which fan group that was from most would say it was from a gooner i would suspect....🤷‍♂️
