So, he starts the interview by telling the 'girlie' that she's wrong and that he wasn't frustrated, continues to tell her she's wrong in every question she asks, then at 1min 52sec, having just told her she's wrong again, tells her he WAS frustrated!

Come on Ange - make yer mind up maaaaaaaaate.

Then, having given the most deflated, depressing interview imaginable, he finishes up by saying there shouldn't be any sense of deflation!!! heehee

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.

He had a fair few bust ups with fans last season; my favourite from a gallows humour perspective was the “We’re going down! We’re going down with you!” at the Lane as he was going into the tunnel.

But the one that really got me and still kinda does is the Chelsea away one. To antagonise our fans who go to Stamford Bridge? You know how much you have to love the club to go to a ground we’ve won 2 games at since like 91? To knowingly put up their hard earned to almost certainly watch an embarrassing and disappointing performance? Not to mention all the shit you’ll get from their lot, who’ve spent the entire season, every season, waiting for that very moment? Those aren’t just any fans, and he still went at them. Disgusting.

Wolfie was banging on in another YT panel about how Ange finished 5th with us in his first season.

But this is no longer Anges first season in the PL and for me that’s the crucial point. We know that teams sussed his playing style out so unless he’s changed or really ends up perfecting “Ange ball”, it’s simply going to be a continuation of finishing last season in 17th and being extremely lucky in, not getting us relegated and winning the EL…

He also doesn't have the benefit of playing one match a week for the most part like he had for his first season here.

Forest are about to embark on a EL campaign.

This is especially for the 3 people in the world who have stayed awake right to the end of the movie.

It actually gets significantly more difficult after that, as there are 3 quite winnable games here in Burnley, Sunderland and Midtjylland:

Chelsea
Porto
Bournemouth away
Man Utd (They might be enjoying some new manager bounce by then)

With games like yesterday's, he's already wasting some precious credit he should be having in the bank.

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.

no the bar dropped and the personal insults came out because when we criticized the football and tactics we were gaslit and called shitty fans by you weirdos. i didn't start calling him a a lazy fat aussie cunt until much later to be fair. the bottom line is all of you who defended him until the bitter end and still do don't know shit about football and never will. he was a bad joke we had to endure for far too long and i'll never get those 2 years back and our players like son won't either. now fuck off back to wherever you came from you troll. you clearly have nothing to add here

Let him stay.

For the craic.
 
lol at the forest forums! i mean, if we want to use marriage as a metaphor, we got hitched to ange and started suspecting something was off as he seemed to be late a lot and money was going suspiciously missing from the accounts and he seemed to sniffle a bunch and got moody and defensive over nothing all the time and eventually it was revealed he had gigantic drug problem so we stuck with him and eventually had to split even though he bought little timmy that sweet new bike on the way out the door... forest picked him up from behind the gas station with his pants around his knees and a needle sticking out of his arm and thought, 'this could work'

:dembelelol:

Oh, that's a new one, so it's my fault that you're a rude prick.

OK.

I didn't defend him till the bitter end, but again, whatever makes you feel better about yourself lol

Daws & Jobi McAnuff weren’t hugely complimentary about him post game last night. I do get the feeling that the media could easily go if things don’t improve quickly.

Bale clearly didnt rate him in the EL final coverage, too - Daws is too Spurs to rate him.

I meant more the Danny Murphys, the Suttons and some of the Sky bunch. I’m not sure who they can blame now, tho, seeing as he’s not even with us so it can’t be Levy or a different set of players.

Not getting the new manager red carpet bounce.

Up by 2 and end up losing to Swansea and the goal scorer of two of em was an Aussie.

Subbing the wrong players and it all went to shit for him.

He looked stunned.

Felt a little bad for him..only just a little.

No - he was like that with us - genuinely couldn’t understand why we weren’t winning easily. Not reflective enough to realise it’s the tactics and absence of coaching.
