Conte is spot on
have to see how hes back in the summer. liverpool and city going to be strong for next couple years at least, and city even longer than that.
I'm hoping some players get cherry picked from Liverpool. Talk about Mane already.
We’re living in the reality where Woolwich have Mikel Arteta and we have Antonio Conte. Drink it up, motherfuckers.
thought mane was going bayern or something
Fingers crossed! Apparently he has to deal with Carragher if he goes tho... he'll spit on him or something I guess!
Just listening to his post match presser. He gave Arteta advice to complain less and concentrate on his team more.
“If he listen to this advice, good. If not, I don’t care”

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Arteta you cunt.
Brutal.
Brutal.
Frankly, if Levy does back him financially this summer I don't see the point supporting this team while ENIC are in charge
Too many drinks last night?
BRUTAL :contelol:
busted, ya'll know what I meant

It’s the way he says it and his facial expression too.
We were singing his name from early in the first half. If he doesn’t love us already I’d be very surprised
This is genius from Conte, a master at his work.
Right now we are enjoying these comments in an afterglow of spanking the scum. If you can remove yourselves from that state for 5mins......
There are only two games left to play, and we are now 1 point behind them, 4th is still very much in their hands. What Conte has done here is to dump a huge amount for pressure onto Arteta, who he absolutely schooled last night, a master vs an apprentice.
In the build-up to the game against Newcastle, he will be asked about his and Conte's comments, some will question the flakiness and ill-discipline of their team (tons of red cards this season, this isn't a fluke or a bias, it's a trend, it's a young team being told to be aggressive without understanding what that is until they find out when they receive a red), for all the fake narratives spun in the media about them being "savy" and have now "mastered the dark arts" they honestly haven't. Arteta has them wound up to tight, it's on him and his preparation.
Arteta's response has been to be more shouty, more confrontational, and more of a cunt but his team respond in the same way, poor discipline, playing over the edge and this is only amplified when the pressure becomes greater.
What Conte is doing is to unsettle him, to make Woolwich be even more self-defeatingly frantic in their next match. He's likely to wind up his players even more because he's the one that's not able to handle the pressure, he's the shouty one, the one that's always complaining and basically not in control of his emotions.
EDIT: (I've just read a piece from Delany who also thinks that Conte is piling pressure on Arta with his comments. In his piece, he wrote this (cut and pasted below) which I thought was interesting......
"From Woolwich’s 11 league defeats this season before this, a massive eight have come in clusters or doubles. That is something that used to happen to Arsene Wenger teams, too. They often lost matches in pairs, and it was pointed at as something psychological. That is a worry for Arteta. If it happens this week, it will surely be goodbye to the Champions League. This may be what Conte is further leaning on".
It was clear that the instructions were given to Holding to ruff up Son, (Arteta's plan, despite all the protests from gooners about biased refs, everyone knows that Holding should have got booked for about 3 challenges that he wasn't, the kick in Son's back was a straight red as was the elbow in the face that he got his 2nd yellow).
Conte has just served up more pressure.
The pressure is well and truly on them, something they failed to deal with last night and now they play away to Newcastle which has become a very tough fixture, since Howe was appointed in Nov they've lost just 2 home games (vs City & Liverpool the only two teams to beat them on their turf).
They go there with no Holding, possibly no Gabriel (who looked to have done a hammy last night, that or he faked the injury to get him off the pitch whilst we humiliated him) a half fit White. Probably means Xhaka drops into CB!!!
As it's so close a draw is enough for us to leapfrog them should we win against Burnley (it's a major challenge for us against Burnley who I think are better since they sacked Dyche + they've had all week to prep for this vs us with only 2 days turnaround. BUT despite these concerns, you'd have to back Conte's Spurs to have the quality to beat them but I think it will be a close game as they will sit deep and we will struggle to break them down). But I digress, should confident and determined Tottenham beat Burnley it will create huge pressure on Woolwich who will play on Monday, they simply have to win this game.

Funny you mention that. It is exactly what I thought he did last night during the game. He was standing still when he did it at a corner. How do you pull a hamstring like that?
Amazing manager but I thought he should of kept the pedal to the metal and tried to get a couple more. We sort of gave them 20-30 minutes off. We really needed to do everything we could to demoralize them for their next 2 matches.
