did you watch that match?

can you talk me through the FIRST MINUTE

I've seen under-11 teams better coached

Well, to be fair, Bergvall, Moore, Kinsky, Tel, Gray are just kids with limited experience. Danso and Tel had only just joined; I think this was their 2nd game; and Moore I don't think had started a game. We had 4 experienced players on the pitch - Son, Kulu, Bentancur and Porro; all of whom had played just 3 days earlier against Liverpool (and Brentford, 3 days before that...and Elfsberg 3 days before that....oh and etc etc.).

Our bench had Biss, Sarr, Cassanova, Austin, Forster, Ajai, Hardy, Davies and Reguillon. Hardly game changers!

This match was on 9th Feb. The last time the squad had more than 4 days between games was 1st December. 20 games in the space of 70 days.

We were missing Solanke, Odobert, Madisson, VDV, Vicario, Udogie, Romero, Johnson during this period.
 
Yes. Unlike Mourinho, Conte, and Nuno, we gave Ange a "fair" shot in the context of the most competitive league in the world. Even when his form warranted a sacking in January.

One cup win does not negate 1.66 seasons of relegation form in the league.

Serious clubs sack him. Liverpool sacked dalglish after he won the fa cup, Chelsea sacked ancelotti a year after winning the double despite a perfectly reasonable second season. It’s what happens. Trouble is, we have levy who will follow it up with a wrong appointment. But we shouldn’t be scared to try.
 
I find it strange that at the start of the season the majority of sentiment on here was fuck the league, just win a trophy. Now that he’s done that the sentiment has changed to fuck a trophy we need a better league season.
Putting all my bias aside, I honestly believe Ange will be staying. He has performed, contractually, perfectly. In his 2 seasons he has returned us to European football, won a European trophy and qualified for the riches of the CL.
Irrespective of your thoughts on our league performances, he absolutely has earned the right to start the season.
It seems though it’s a case of damned if you do and damned if you don’t for a lot on here.

Because when most said they wanted a trophy and fuck the league they probably didn’t mean to the extent we finished 17th! 😂😂😂
 
Whichever way you slice it Levy acting with zero class as usual . Either sack him or make a statement saying he is staying . In my opinion the only reason Levy is stringing Ange along is he is sniffing around other managers to see if anyone does not tell him to fuck right off.

We are not at Jol levels of scumminess YET , but we appear to be working on it .

I am Ange out and if we cannot feel confident in sacking him knowing we can attract better it shows how far we have fallen as an attractive opportunity for a manager . Show some class Spurs sack him or say he is staying instead of sneaking around behind his back .

All the above admittedly is just opinion but with the season over I can see no reason to not either fire or confirm him . Pretty disgusting in my view .
 
No we wouldn’t. That’s stupidity.
OK but if we out in that performance next season, then a promoted club like Leeds will finish above us.

5 PL wins since November. Five.

Ipswich
Saints x 2

(both relegated - ooh!)

the worst MUFC team since 1974
And a jammy 2-0 at Brentford

If you think that's acceptable you've got to be a gooner

One of the reasons he's toast is that STs won't put up with that shit again.

The hubris of the people who look at our form and believe we are somehow beyond getting sucked onto a relegation battle. That WestcHam team that went down was way better than this Spurs side. Simply allowing Ange Postecoglou go on as he has been would be negligence Eropa league not withstanding.

He appears to be using Utd's cack handed approach to Ten Hag last summer not as a warning but as a blueprint.

I get not doing it last week but no excuses for this dithering. He's clearly seeing who's willing to come before deciding but this isn't doing anyone any good.
 
you should probably ignore me

fuck it edit: he's a fat cunt because he cupped his ear at his own supporters and confronted them multiple times and slagged us for not wanting to give the lot down the road the title. he's a miserable prick of a man who stubbornly plays shit football all the way to the bottom of the table and an embarrassment to me and many, many more. understand where i'm coming from now, mate?

And yet, here you are, on the internet, a grown man, calling another man a fat cunt because he lost some football games and upped his ear?

Do you hear yourself?

He did it cos fans like you have been calling him a fat cunt to his face for months because they don't know how to process losing football games? You feel embarrassed by the way another human being manages a team? Fucking hell..... get some therapy.
