Sure but you hate the guy. The players don't. Rightly or wrongly they love him - because he made them believe. And delivered.
Yes it's absolutely insane but so is the situation we're in. Hail mary and all that

It’s not a surprise when Bodo beat teams that you would consider harder to beat than those in our Europa run.
It’s not a surprise because they do it regularly. Thats because they are a champions league level team
Lol this is literally the first time ever they’ve qualified for a CL league or group stage.
They’re an awkward team with a shit pitch who throw teams. They aren’t a CL level team in terms of quality or their players would be getting snapped up double time because they’re all on a fraction of a CL level teams wage. They’re paid less than Wrexham.
I would put serious money on Atletico navigating them in a knockout scenario anyway.
I don’t hate him. I don’t understand why fans speak in such terms about a manager with a 40% win rate in this league though. It was 28% last season.
It’s all based on a cup run in extremely different circs. I’m also not sure what “they love him” is based on other than a couple of the players nice words about a departing coach they won something with.
He doesn’t have the recipe for winning premier league games. If he did he’d have done more of it himself at spurs and then Forest.
I never claimed anything of the sort. I just pointed out facts. You got caught talking bollocks. Man up and own it.
The Ange fanboy happy clapping brigade think I’m talking bollocks and you know what that makes me think .. it’s perfect fucking sense.
I said Atletico were a class above anything we faced in the EL last season. That is absolutely true. Nobody in the EL we played possesses the level of footballer they have.
Pep, Arteta and others have also been found. They don't care though. They play their game because they manage big clubs.
Frank, Nuno and others adapt their game on the opponent.
Spot the difference.
And choose side.
Look at the teams they’ve beaten in Europe the last 2-3 seasons
So, when you are wrong your modus operandi is to indulge in name calling. Sad.
It's pretty funny that they won at Atletico Madrid given their reputation as dodgy pitch merchants.
Oh wow! so one player one player between the end of summer 17 and the start of the summer window 19, nearly two fucking years...
Fucking brilliant that, fucking brilliant.
Bodo already won at Atleti?
Is that a complex way of saying "I was incorrect"
Yeah, on the final matchday to make the knockouts.
They’ll have no trouble repeating that in the actual knockouts then.
I know it’s mad given last seasons record and I agreed with the sacking. But I would sooner Ange come and and gee up the players who clearly like him than the likes of Harry, Mason, Sherwood and all the other Spurs related names that are being mentioned. He’s the only realistic one I can see that could get a tune quickly and that might actually consider it.
We stay up? Them him for his time and get a proper project manager in.
We go down? See if Robbie Keane is up for the gig. Champo probably better for him than straight into PL. Or McKenna or Carrick if by some miracle he doesn’t get the Utd gig

ITK's coming out - would make sense! Which is probably why it won't happen.
He's the ONLY person who can help us now. If he came back and kept us up we'd genuinely have to get a statue of him made up!
We currently have one of if not the worst form team in the league. Our keeper had a calamatious night. Yet we scored twice, might have a third, at their home. Atletico are not all that. Its not a foregone conclusion that over two legs they would beat Bodo.
It’s not because over two legs things can happen, it’s knockout football. In any league situation they’d finish very far behind them though, because they are a much less talented and deep team without the likes of Alvarez and Griezmann.
In Europe I have seen Di Matteo’s by then miles past it, flailing Chelsea team beat almost peak Barcelona and an incredible Bayern side. It happens.
Bodo have had some very impressive recent results that would probably not be sustained for long. They conceded 30 shots and 70% of the ball to inter but won. That happens extremely rarely I.e Celtic beating peak Barca rarely.
They’re a good plucky outfit who can go on a run but also lose to Gala, Valarenga, draw to Sparta Prague etc. Generally depends on time of season & the artificial pitch is a bitch.
