So not 5th then no?
He's so close to getting it
No wait... He's not

1st season doesn't count though because we need to dismiss the first 10 games and we were the worst team in the Prem for the other 28

This group of players isn't good enough to win the league, but they should not look like 11 strangers in a kit either.
What's hard for you to understand?
With the injuries over the last seasons it's pretty much been "11 strangers in a kit together". For both Postecoglou AND Frank.
I mean... just what part of this season didn't make you understand last season better?
It's so weird.
What part of Frank being shit means Ange isn't?With the injuries over the last seasons it's pretty much been "11 strangers in a kit together". For both Postecoglou AND Frank.

Right so a competent coach should be finishing around mid table according to you but where did Ange finish with the same group in his first season...?
I'll let the penny drop slowly, you'll catch up eventually, take your time...
Well, for a start I don't think either of them are "shit" but if I was forced to split them it would be the 5th place finish and European Trophy that would probably get me over the line?
But the real point is: when will it finally click for you that "lots of injuries in key areas" + "European Football" + "a horribly imbalanced squad low on genuine elite quality" is the primary reason for their failings?
It really is as simple as that.
De Zerbi is probably a better manager than either of the above. But if he had to face the same issues they did as outlined above he, too, would have struggled. This is just rational.
But being "rational" seems utterly beyond the Deranger capacity. Despite all the evidence in the world.
He got a bounce and fared for a bit, then it was steady downward from there. 18 months of shit. You can google this stuff you know.Right so a competent coach should be finishing around mid table according to you but where did Ange finish with the same group in his first season...?

For the love of god can we close this thread on the useless hillbilly.
'A bounce'
Always some sort of mental gymnastics lols, you defeated your own argument, have a night off yeah.

Leave it out, he's a highly respected football manager, which is why he's now minding the stationery cupboard at UEFA

Good to see De Zirbi appreciating Spurs legends in the past. Looks like real understands real in terms of management.
You can definitely see the influence Ange has had in De Zirbi's style of play and how he carries himself as a man.
Wonder if he'll be able to deliver a trophy within his first two seasons at the club.

The squad is in bad shape but apparently its the fault of the baked bean and the "useless hillbilly" - not, you know, injuries and our shit squad building.
Anyway... In this thread we like to celebrate the European Trophy won by the "useless hillbilly" - you don't have to join us if you don't like Trophies but every post gets us one closer to the magical #5000 so please - post away
If he can deliver "keeping us up" I'll gladly build the statue alongside Postecoglou's myself
It's weird - our good friend

seemed to quite like what "the useless Hillbilly" provided last May...
Maybe we should hire more "useless Hillbilly's"? I'm confused...

It's ok to admit that one of your own is a useless clown who would struggle to hold down a job as a suicide bomber.Early Frank:
