Hi
I want to win a cup this season. End of. I don’t care about the league position, I want a pot because its been scandalous that we havent won one for years. Winning even the League Cup would help take the pressure off Ange, give the players some belief and we could use it as a springboard.
Do you agree with that?? I’m sure you do. So we put our trust in Ange to achieve that…..and then after our poor start in the league he starts that team tonight and we were ridiculously close to going out. We didn’t deserve to win tonight, they showed more quality and were better drilled despite us having superior players. Do you agree with that?
So many of us on here aren’t melting, we just can’t be fooled by these late, late goals saving the day. We didn’t want to lose tonight but we cannot be excited and dancing around becos It papers over an abject performance, it papers over him risking going out in one of the cups that we have some chance of winning because he wants to show how ballsy or true to his beliefs he is. Bollocks to that Ange. Stop being so arrogant, unless the team is putting in performances that justify it AND CONCENTRATE ON GETTING THE TEAM TO WIN SOMETHING THIS YEAR. Not in 3 years time.

I’m reacting to people calling Ange a fat fuck, being racist, being unfairly harsh and targeting specific players (players like Johnson who are JUST PLAYING THE SYSTEM AS THE COACH INTENDS), knee jerk reacting and being very vocal about whenever we lose and then crickets when we win, members of the forum who seem genuinely gutted when we win and their narrative that we’re shit and hopeless and everyone’s a loser (apart from themselves of course which is ironic they fail to realize that is the source of their irrational derision) falls apart, and ultimately adult man babies who have the emotional control of some of the teenagers I teach on a regular basis and make this forum a very unpleasant place.

I’m sorry that some of you lack purpose and love in your life but getting on here or Twitter and getting very personal and hurling insults at club representatives is not the answer.

There used to be wit on this forum and good natured banter, it has changed now and I think I’ve had enough.

Ange has a philosophy of how to play football and he has said several times he will not compromise on it. I’m personally sick of the manager round about and want to give Ange time, for good or bad. Crying like a child whenever things aren’t going your way and throwing the toys out the pram doesn’t benefit anyone, in fact it creates an aura of negativity around the club which opposing fans feed off of and players react negatively to (see poor Brennan yesterday.

There are too many broken people taking their anger with the world out on a football club and it’s not benefiting anyone.

I can't see how people believe there is some rebuild taking place it Boggels my mind.

We bought Random Youngsters that don't have Good mentors. How do we expect them to improve. By the time the youngsters are close to being ready, Romero, Dragusin and VDV will be leaving cause they looking to win titles. And the cycle starts again.

This is purely a Levy minting machine plan. No interest in football. Rebuild, of the rebuild, because the rebuild of the previous rebuild did rebuild the Team. If you want to see a rebuild look at Villa. They have done wonders compared to the last 20 years of Spurs.

Great post.
There were wretched souls on here last night who literally wanted us to lose. Ice dancing fans who were annoyed when Brennan scored. And then snivellers belittling the achievement of snatching a win from the jaws of defeat.
The abuse has got worse but my advice to you is stick all the miserable wretches on ignore.

What a lot of reductive shit.

Last night has left me doubting Ange more than I was previously but at the same time I'm fucking delighted we won and pleased as punch for Brennan on his very well taken goal.

I'm usually a happy clapper but the more I'm told I'm a bad fan for having well placed doubts the more pissed off I get
 
Fuck me this forum, lol. Been visiting here for 13 years I think, so no surprises. But the energy is so different here to anything I experience in the pubs and the ground on a match day.

Debates about Ange aside, it was a proper cup tie and we won it. Surely that's something to feel happy about for once.

Random side note but i was late catching up on the post match press conferences and Mark Robbins is great. I wonder if its the pressure of the prem with its hyper fan bases and media saturation that makes prem managers talk like teenagers.

I was absolutely numb throughout that match last night. Can't believe we got through somehow - proper clueless blunt shite with the ball and calamitous defending.

Few take aways
Forster can NEVER play again in any comp against any opposition. Looked like a competition winner ffs.
Werner and Son diabolical again.
Pity Odobert got injured but may give Moore a proper chance now to play with Werner out too.

Agreed, we were talking about the next match.

At this point in time, Odobert looks like he'll be out long term, and Werner is more hindrance than help. I highly doubt that MM could be worse, and he'd get huge backing from the home crowd.

Ange isn’t telling them to have a slow lethargic build up.

We had our weaker players on who have little experience together - build up is slow.

We put on experienced players that are good - build up was much quicker.

Not so sure most of those players Ange has personally selected, only a few are new but most our players he wanted or wanted to keep. There is always excuses.
