Strange, I was under the impression he was a "coward", a "bottler", forever "weak"

Flow?? Everytime we tried to build in first half he gave them soft freesHe could have sent off Udogie.
I think he missed the Udogie foul but nothing else.
The severity of the punishment is a matter of opinion.
He let the game flow.
Where you sitting......I'll send the bhoys round?I plan to go to a Spurs game this season with my Celtic top on to pay appreciation to Ange and get my Angball fix. I hope I don't get a kicking![]()
Actually noticed that too!!Can someone more informed on VAR rules explain it - is a ball-to-hand (which really, it was) still deemed a penalty or was it rather harsh?
I know the comms team seemed against it (until it was given, then they went quiet lest they betray Woolwich getting refereeing decisions go their way).

The shot was actually half blocked and spun up onto his arm. Plus theynever checked if white controlled with his handTbh one of our players got pushed before the ball hit hand. Should call it NVAR = No video assistant ref.
His brain is pickled from alcohol, not that there was much worth preserving in the first place!Paul Merson was right.
I really enjoyed that “slaughtering” we got from Woolwich today. Highly enjoyable watch that “tearing apart” we got from “going toe to toe” against a team who are “man for man better across the park”.
The sooner that cunt is binned the better. For a former player and pundit, he knows absolutely fuck all about football.
I admire your pluck. You will probably get a warm welcome but bring your credit card, Mate!
What a purchase that guy was!
What I am most pleased about is how (without wholesale personnel change) is the second half. Zero threat to us and sure, we could have won but it never looked like we would lose.No small feat playing LB against the current Woolwich side on a yellow card after 15 minutes, but he did great. Somehow it didn't feel like they were playing down that right hand side so much in the second half.
Gotta pinch yourself when remembering he's 20. Absolutely superb business and makes me hope Paratici does stick around for some 'consulting'.
We took a year off to lull them into a false sense of invincibility...A lot of people on this forum for the last 18 months or so have been arse licking these fucking idiots, you’d think they were the second coming of the 70’s ajax team or something
Well today we showed last season was an anomaly. We were the better team, in their back yard, with more possession and shots at goal, and were only denied a win by a lucky own goal and a disgraceful penalty decision
Ange has made this difference in 3 months, 6 games. Wrap him in cotton wool, the man is a fucking legend and he’s going to do something seriously special for us I can feel it
Every week convinces me more that Conte was a football terrorist.What I am most pleased about is how (without wholesale personnel change) is the second half. Zero threat to us and sure, we could have won but it never looked like we would lose.
That can't be said in our history very often.
Romero and Mickey. Destiny and Porro. Genuine belief.
Agreed. The commentary were unsurprisingly playing it down, but I felt that if one of our lot had slid in, uncontrolled and at full pelt with their studs up, they’d have been binned. If he had made contact (which he was very close to doing), Vicario’s leg would have snapped.
