im flattered you would take my words and do that but let's be honest, this isn't about valid criticism.... conspiracy theories about players abandoning tactics in Europa etc - calling him a cunt - it's about precious little babies who don't know how to process their feelings

I'm sorry you had to deal with us losing some games. I hope you recover soon.

The man himself stated that he hadn't directed the players to be more cautious in those games, so that's hardly conspiracy talk.

The bolded part, you're right, the name calling is a bit pathetic, though not necessarily without basis there are legitimate enough footballing reasons to criticise him without resorting to that.

As for your final point, if you want to imply that I personally am wound up and we go along with that for a moment, at least I'm wound up backing a club that I've supported for 30 years now, rather than getting wound up backing some (beyond) middle-aged chancer who bluffed his way into a position well beyond his capabilities. I'm sorry that you fell so hard for his grift, doubling down is not the way to go mate.

LOL at people still holding a grudge against this guy. How any of you would deal with real trauma is beyond me.

I suggest getting some emo music on about how much daddy has been mean to you, have a good cry wank and let it all out.

Or maybe we’ve already suffered big trauma so the menial things get exaggerated…

Why does it have to be emo music? Personally you can’t go wrong with the Temptations.

Though if I wank anymore today it’ll likely fall off faster than Forests season 🫠

Also I love the man for the trophy but he is a huge cunt and deserves it both barrels.

I think Mourinho definitely had some of those as well - but I get what you mean.

I guess, for me, thats on them - more than him, if you see what I mean?

I can see the schadenfreude in seeing him fail there if these people are your target.

I guess it just seems, to me at least, a bit much the levels of glee at how he's doing?

And I say that as someone who agrees with 90% of the criticism of him, certainly no fan boy.

And my view on him as a character definitely soured

Oh Mourinho had it, for sure. But it was never to the same degree, it wasn't even close.
 
I think if you were and are massively effected by a group of posters joining a forum as they like a manager, it maybe says more about you than it does about them.

As for the man himself, let himself down in some ways and did very well in others. But he’s got fuck all to do with us now.

LOL I'm not backing anyone or anything other than more pragmatic discourse.

No matter who our manager is, I try to support them, because it's how I choose to support the club, same goes for the players.

Had to read enough verbal abuse of him last season by regressive idiots who simply resorted to the lowest common denominator and used xenophobic language, made comments about his weight.... whatever they could because they are not capable of processing losing football matches without lashing out and calling somone a cunt. Its pathetic.

There is no other reason why someone would do that, so defend it all you want. I literally do not care.

Ange played pragmatically in the EL and we did have some decent performances like Frankfurt so happy to give him credit for that but 17th in the league even with injuries is awful. He owns that as well.

It’s like Levy, you can respect the really good things he did with the infrastructure while also criticising his micro management and lack of football vision.

I am glad we had Ange and glad we had Levy for the stadium but I am also thankful they are now both gone.

I think that is right... either he owns both or he owns neither...

Lmao, most people who have dealt with real trauma aren’t knicker wetters who get upset over mean words to strangers on the internet like you.

Can’t blame her for walking.

This is true. Mourinho and Conte were much more negative about Spurs in their times and achieved very little. But their arrogance was at least earned at the highest level.

I think it's the combination of Ange's stubbornness, his nasty streak and his hubris that's misplaced at the top level that winds a lot of us up.

I certainly have felt some enjoyment watching his Forest struggles (early days tbf) , which I wasn't expecting to feel.

I guess you don't get a new manager bounce when the old manager was doing a great job.

Plus neither of them despite their arrogance and huge chips on their shoulders ever slagged off the fans or antagonised us as much as Ange did. They were smart enough not to do that.

Because he's a horrible dishonest charlatan followed by clueless halfwits who will scream their devotion to the tin God into the wind in defiance of all logic. They were unbearable and the Aussie nationalist ones hell bent on convincing Spurs fans that didn't start watching soccer on Tuesday like them that statistics from his time at American Samoa were proof we were all mad was fucking priceless. I'm delighted they can take his bulkshit to Forrest. That he won us a trophy I've seen us win before did not mitigate the horror of his year zero reign.

Mate,I’m not his biggest fan and glad he’s gone from our club but I will always have a soft spot for him because he was our manager when we won a trophy. We don’t do that much.
I despise Johnson as a footballer and never want to see him play for us ever again but again I’ll always have a soft spot for him because of Bilbao.
