Jesus Christ, your takes just keep getting worse and worse. Probably best to wrap this up, we're not living in the same reality.

Another cowardly, no content, reply to a perfectly rational post.

Not surprising when you're running around telling yourself and us poor people who have to read your drivel that PostyCoglyou is a bad man because Romero and Van de Ven were good when playing for him but shit when playing for Frank/Tudor and that is PostyCoglyou's fault...

Because that's a really sane take :roflmao:
 
When Frank was sacked we were higher in the league than Ange had us. He had no Maddison, Kulu or Son, no Solanke for most of that time (that was probably like 80% or Ange’s league goals) and had to contend with champions league instead of Europa.

Pining for Ange is ridiculous. He finished 17th & lost 22 games. We are linked to Poch and De Zerbi who are much better premier league coaches than he is. Ange has won 1 in 19 of his last managed league games, Ange took over a decent forest team and failed to win a game, Ange is not the fucking man to take over and guide us to safety. He loses premier league matches for fun because they aren’t Bodo or AZ.
Ange had no Romero,vdv and vicario for a lengthy part of the season as well.We were playing bloody 18 yr old gray at cb and Forster in goal ffs so don’t just pick the bullshit that suits you.
 
I’m not a little Ange creep mate. It’s an opinion, I don’t sit around kissing a poster of him.

But look where we are now, with pretty much the same players as you have pointed out, getting relegated

I’d take him back in a heartbeat over anyone we’ve had since or are linked with currently

Frank will go down as the worst manager we’ve ever had at this club

Frank is a perfectly fine, if uninspiring, manager and it's not his fault (at least not solely) that we are about to relegated.

Injuries are why we're about to be relegated. That and the 2024 Summer Transfer Window. But the reason we're so vulnerable to another injury crisis is because the squad is mid (see 2024 transfer window) and Frank was unable to get the wins on the board to give us a points buffer when it got really bad.

Also neither he nor Tudor have been able to replicate the 3 wins we got on the bounce last season to end any hint of relegation trouble. We beat Brentford, Leeds and United with Dragusin/Gray/Davies as our CB's. Kinski in goal for one or two of those.

We'd kill for that kind of resilience right now.

The problem with Frank was always that he's no better or worse than what we had in Postecoglou. Although Xg indicates he was far worse but I digress. The point is we sacked a trophy winning manager who the squad believed in for a meh manager that they diidn't. Then we signed West Ham's 3rd best player; our 4th choice Maddison replacement, and Palinha.

And even then some of these clowns thought we were fighting for Top 4. They can't accept they were wrong, so they won't.

But they don't get to peddle their insane fantasies without push back. not any more.

I think Romero was told a crock of shit to get him to sign a new contract, and now he's disgruntled and been talking about lies on his social media. I also think players have been pissed off about the club selling Johnson, and not bringing in another LB in the summer.

Rubbish.

Romero has been average at best.

Everything else is just posters making excuses for his paucity or seeking to read between lines in an attempt to justify whatever he does.

It's utterly mental.

Absolutely. We also swallowed their fucking lies. Every decision this club has made since Postecoglou somehow managed to take a Kaneless Spurs to fifth in 23/24 has been an utter calamity.

I've marked quite a lot of the points that the team gathered that season as gained by sensational point blank saves from Vicario when he seemed to be in the form of his life, probably the best keeper in the league for the first 10 matches or so.

We're just going round in circles you must be getting something out of this thread that I'm not, I so often see your username as the one bumping it.

I didn't post in this thread once between 17th September and 24th January. 5 months. I'd moved on. Unlike the derangers who can't stop posting in here.

When I did return to post in here it was to post this:

First time I've posted in this thread since September.

Time to send out the Bat Signal? :cautious:

January 24th and I could see relegation coming and the only fucking person I could think of that might be able to get us out of it was the same bloke who got this players to win a trophy. Once again people didn't listen to me. Once again I've been proved 100% fucking correct.

And now I'm here for the memories. If derangers don't like people reminsicing about when we were a club that won European trophies then they simply don't need to come in here.

But if they do they will get reality served up to them and reminded that they got what they wanted and now we're fucking relegated.

Well he certainly came out with disgruntled comments including the word lies on his social media that was liked by other players in the squad.

So what mate?

Romero is gaslighting.

He gets very well paid and wasn't forced to sign a new contract. Other players liking a post means nothing. What do they think the club should be spending or have they been reading what a few spendthriths on here have been writing?

Romero is captain of the club, a decision that might have seemed logical at the time but one which has backfired.

The bigger problem is that neither Frank or Tudor has been able to get him playing better and more consistently.

Happy when he leaves.

Romero and VDV have been injured and/or suspended for parts of this season too lmao, whilst we’ve also missed almost all our creators and first choice striker.

Vicario apparently has been playing with an injury and practically can’t kick and has been throwing it in his own net.

It’s the Ange fans who keep going on about Frank having a better squad available which is just total nonsense.

Evangelists. Angesexuals. Cultists. Postecoglites.

“A club that won European trophies” Christ imagine if West Ham go down, can you imagine how hard we’d laugh at them if they said something like this based on their one “European trophy”.

Lol, you still popping back with senseless logic of yours yeah. Full of ifs, full of buts, full of could've should've would've. Every arguments are just hypothesis skewed to suit your narratives, that's cherry picking lol. Facts are put up against your face but you couldn't accept (or maybe you just couldn't understand) and only twisting points here and there before ending with some insults.

You are not proving anyone wrong. Just stop man.

Literally all the evangelist bellends rely on. Ifs and buts. If we had our first choice defence, if Ange had more time at Forest, if we had kept him in charge.. have a taste of your own fucking medicine.

I’ve countered all the facts, I just won’t be dealing with duplicated arguments. The cultists puke out so much shit it’s hard to keep track.

I didn't post in this thread for 5 months.

You can't stop posting in it. EVER.

Which one of us is in a Cult? Which one of us is OBSESSED. It's clearly you. This is the only thing you seem to care about. And you were wrong. Catastrophically.

You were wrong. I was right. And now we're almost certain to do down.

Own it.

You keep saying this when it isn’t true. I firmly believe we’d have been relegated with Ange this season, so your hypothetical premise does not work.

We’re still not “almost certain” to go down either, no metrics reflect that.

Ange and his one win in 19 PL games wouldn’t have been a fix, he started this slide and he would never have had the answer to stop it.

You said any half decent manager would us have flying up the table. You were so confident and cocky in August that that you said this:

Lol he's so much better than Ange it's not even funny. The scale of improvement is ridiculous.

An actual coach doing actual coach stuff. Amazing.
Note: even then your obsession with Postecoglou frames your reply. It's not about spurs, it's about your weird cult like fixation on the previous manager :rolleyes:

Meanwhile I repeatedly warned you that injuries and a meh squad was the reason for our League form last season and that it weas likely Postecoglou was actually overachieving given the circumstances and that it was unlikely a new manager was going to dramatically improve us, and could, quite possibly make things worse.

We had these conversation ad infinitum last season.

On every possible metric - xG/xGA, Goal Difference, Games won... We have gone backwards. We are setting all sorts of records for bad performance. Are you for fucking real right now?

If we somehow stay up none of that will change. We will still have had the most disastrous season since 1977.

I was right. You were wrong. Own it.


I'm not seeking you out to dig you out. You're coming in here for your obsession fix. 5 months I didn't post in here. You never stopped. We get it. you don't like him. Then don't look in here. It's really that simple.
