Harsh methinks. Denigrating an actual meaningful trophy win - our biggest since 1991 and arguably since 1984 - is curious. We’re not serial PL or CL winners so I’m not quite sure what you expect. We’ve seen decades of bottling finals and semi finals. When we won in Bilbao, were you celebrating like crazy, alongside 100s of 1000s of fans around the world, or were you sitting there tutting saying that things aren’t good enough? There’s a clear reason why the league campaign collapsed, namely injuries and a thin squad. That’s not on Ange. It’s the ENIC effect seen over and over again. No manager under them has been able to deliver a strong league campaign and silverware. It’s just unrealistic and severely misguided to think we should in DL’s tight environment. The real miracle for me is how Ange kept a young, depleted and struggling squad together, week after week, and still maintained a laser focus on winning something as big as anything most fans have known in their lifetime, despite all the challenges, flack and negativity both inside and outside of the club. That is leadership - winning leadership - and the statements being released by our top players, from VDV to Bergvall to Madders, Sonny and the rest, would appear to back that up.

Jaynola has forfeited any right to celebrating that trophy. He now lives in a desert world bereft of joy entirely of his own choosing.

I simply cannot fathom how bitter and joyless he must be but fuck him - he's made his bed the bitter sexist prick.

I agree.

I can see why they liked Ange for his man management, but as soon as the next coach and his staff come in, start holding proper tactical training sessions, their eyes will be opened.

They'll enjoy playing in a solid team that doesn't get battered every week. It'll improve our chances in all comps, especially the domestic cups.

While the Europa was wonderful, cups are 9/10 times won by teams who are also doing well in the league*, not the abberration of our last season.

What I do want, however, is the Board to place more emphasis on winning cups than they have historically.


(* Newcastle and Palace two recent examples, along with the rest of the top 6.)

We saw what dressing room unrest did to Nuno first half

22 defeats. It can't get worse than that in my opinion.. Elite they certainly aren't.

You know it's possible to be happy - genuinely happy - about your club winning something whilst wishing it'd been done with more panache & glory, also recognizing the trophy's true place in the football landscape?

You're that guy that sees a big board advertising guitar lessons then calls the number to angrily tell them you hate music.

Or who calls someone making a joke about Kaitlin Jenner's driving transphobic and sexist.

You got owned after finding nothing better than a picture of your beloved Ozzy with the trophy to try and win (but ultimately fail) an argument, so now you're all bitter and going for cheap shots.

Have a word with yourself, pal.



(Credit where it's due, Mr Gervais).

Seen you post more sexist shit like this:

You're such a moments guy. I bet you're the type whenever a hot chick says hi to you, you think that's it I've met my future wife...even though she's actually a nutter and frigid.

Pal, anybody can play the monstrosity Ange has fed us them last few rounds of the Europa League...proper peak 80s Serie A. I bet even Nuno, Jose, Tony Pulis, Big Sam or George friggin Graham thought "fuck me, that's negative anti-football shit". And that was in a comp with the talent level of the Champo.

Funny how your dearly beloved completely shat on his own football principles & philosophy when he realised the only way to save his job & fat paycheck was to play uber scaredy-cat stuff that we'd have murdered other managers for (Spurs or other teams).

Than anything even remotely resembling being "happy" at our European triumph.

Yeah you were happy on the night as you piggy backed your way to feeling something despite cunting the manager and team off all fucking year. And days later you went back to calling it 2nd rate trophy.

You're a fucking disgrace.

Ange being 'targeted' by a Premier League team.....do a straight swap with Brentford? West Ham also mentioned.

All click bait bollocks I'm sure.

I would not begrudge him at all. West Ham fans wanted him half way through the season. Brentford is an opportunity to prove he is better than Frank.
