Why is this fat clown thread popping up again

Well you see what happened was Derangers got what they wanted and Postecoglou was sacked. We are now in the relegation zone; haven't won a Premier League game in four months and our third manager of the season has just said in his first presser that he wants the team to play like they did under the "fat clown" whose second last game in charge for us was winning Tottenham's 3rd European Trophy.

Does that clear things up for you? :thumbup:

All evidence points to the thread being anything but dead. Certainly it has morphed into something quite extraordinary. Whether that is good or bad is a matter of opinion. The one thing thing that is, without doubt, not true is that the thread is dead.

Bullshit and semantics....bumping dead topics isn't unique and easily identifiable.

The thread topic is deader than a dead thing in deadland inevitably kept alive by the mourners and the occasional onlooker with morbid curiosity.

My comments are not questioning the rights of those who post to keep it going merely their motives?
 
But it's good to see CJJ CJJ still has his priorities right as we slip into the relegation zone... :cautious:

It's 2031. Tottenham have just slipped to 15th in League 1 after an injury time winner scored by Port Vale's player manager Wayne Rooney. Beleaguered Spurs Manager Thomas Partey has asked for time and promises he's "fighting hard for the club". Spurs fans are angry.

But Matt1882 Matt1882 and CJJ CJJ will still be talking about Ange Postecoglou on TFC. :D

Something's got to cheer us up as we head towards the relegation people like you demanded.

Some of us warned you that the manager was not the problem. You didn't listen. Now we're in the relegation zone with 7 games to go. You got what you wanted. Forgive those of us who want to reminisce when we were a club that won things and stayed in Premier League. 🤷‍♂️

Tottenham: Roberto de Zerbi 'not surprised' by fans' reaction to Mason Greenwood comments

Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi says he was "not surprised" by the reaction from supporters over comments he made about Mason Greenwood.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

De Zerbi reveals that he feels he's no better than Igor or Frank.

NB., he doesn't say he's no better than Postecoglou.

Nope, but he's clearly adversely affected the ability of a significant minority on this site, the ones Phomesy Phomesy calls derangers, to think rationally and clearly.

IMO blaming the injury crises and not Postecoglou for the 17th position finish, is the same as blaming the injury crises and 16th (I think it was) position and not Frank.

So a rational argument could be made that Frank was as good as Postecoglou, IMO he was a bit worse but there is a rational argument that could exist regardless.

It seems all the excuses that were made for Postecoglou, Frank wasn't entitled to. Maddison and Kulusevski are probably the best two attacking players at the club.

Frank didn't win a trophy but the team was doing well in the Champions League, which is regarded as a tougher competition than the Europa League.

Seems like people want to make excuses for Postecoglou's league position but refuse to make the same excuses for Frank.

A mental health professional, could well find that deranged, and like Shadydan Shadydan once said, Postecoglou has brainwashed the supporters, so I assume the supporters he was referring to includes you.

Oh look who's back after he said he's going to leave the thread for the 100th time, if anyone is guilty of bumping this thread it's you and your ilk and no one can tell me why - very apt you mentioned mental health in this post isnt it...

Anyway if you want to do comparisons Ange's first 10 matches don't count according to the derangers so if you're doing this comparison thing then why should we count Frank's first 10...? Which means he would have had us on 11 points in 16 matches which would have made us the 2nd worst team in the league just above Wolves at the time of getting the boot, now unless you think Frank was well on his way to winning the Champions League and lets face it he wasn't, he remains our worst manager in the Premier League era bar none and that's even when I'll allow you to have his first 10 matches.

We've been down this comparison and Frank backers always end up losing, don't try snd be a loser.

Interesting take on Frank. Maybe bring it to his thread and see if you can resuscitate that.

As to Postecoglou, I was all for his sacking (although I did wobble, I'll admit, when we won the Europa). I never compared our injury crisis under Postecoglou to the one we experienced under Frank. So the brainwashing epithet does not, if you'll pardon the pun, wash when it comes to me.

I think, with the exception of one or two, most contributors to this thread who are positive about him are in the 'getting 5th in his first season and, notwithstanding a shit 2nd league season, winning the Europa in his second season might, in hindsight, mean he was underestimated as a manager".

For me, I think we would not be where we are now had he been given a shot at a third season. If our league form had continued to be dire, he would have been sacked by November. The new manager would have had time, and a transfer window, to deal with the issues. Frank was given the benefit of the doubt for far too long. He was appointed before the season started and was given time he should not have had.

Who knows, maybe the team would not have been shit under a third Postecoglou season. We'll never know. What we got was the worst of all options.

Thanks for the chat. Another few contributions to the 5000 page journey!
