I feel alot of fans just sway with the breeze of the media. If they say Ange is bad, Ange is bad, if they say he is good again now he is good. Quite bizzare how someone's view can completely change after one game rather than judging them against their whole career

Oh the Irony. Yes mate that's exactly what we could have had. But we choose to tell Enrique to go away and gave Ange 300 million to spend on BJ,
You really think the manager “spends” the transfer budget in this club?
The table doesnt lie.
We had never in my lifetime gone 1-3-6 in home PL matches. Never, not even in the relegation season or the worst that Gross could come up with. And I was born in 1959.
Our current form is:
one win in 9 (Saints)
2 in 10 (Ipswich)
That isn't just off the chart unacceptable, it's nailed on relegation form. About 20pts a season.
Anyone that looks with a dispassionate view at the table and the PL results - I can't see how there's any doubt whatsoever.
Sack him the day after the final or the open top bus parade if we win.
Venkat needs to have a shortlist of managerial targets on his desk that day. FFS most people on here could come up with a list where everyone would be better than AP.
smart work, one of the finest Cities in Europe
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Have a day off and just revel in our little achievement of getting to another Euro final or just enjoy your bitterness or don’t, I couldn’t give a monkeys either way.
Bilbao here we come!!
Don't waste your time Richard... BJ is crap (Ange's fault), Players getting injured (Ange's fault), We are embarrassing (Ange's fault), Local shop out of bread (Ange's fault), My car's broken down (Ange's fault). I want him gone... his football is flawed and we are likely in for another rough season with him at the helm unless we fuck up the Europa League final and have 40 games to play next season. Then he might do okay with a week's rest between games. But he is not solely the reason we are shit this season... it's not like he tells Lange to do one, pick up a suitcase full of cash and drives up the M1 to Nottingham coming back with BJ and no suitcase!!!
I don’t get why we are even discussing his future or even past right now anyway.
We have the second biggest game in 40 years coming up and he’s going to be the manager for that.
Fuck knows what happens after that.
I was in Bristol last night so missed the whole game, and in the end seems like a pretty comfortable victory.
The answer to all our problems is clearly that I need to just not watch games.

I was , and the authors impact
This is how you present yourself
Exactly.
The last 4 games in Europe we've put out 4 very good performances. He's got his tactics right and seems to have judged each game on the game itself, not the occasion which is what we need to do in the final.
Between today and the final we should all be on his side and rooting for the win, whatever happens come the summer.
I do need to have one minor gripe here, and that's to wonder why we don't see him try it in league games?
I'm delighted he's taken this approach to the knock out phase of the Europa (some of our league phase performances were decidedly average) but it's this pragmatism I'd like to have seen more of during league matches which would have seen us probably in the top half at least.
I agree with you. I don't know whether it's because the availability of his strongest defence or that he wants his main system to work so much he's being a bit stubborn.
With Vic, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven and Udogie we've played 20, winning 15. That's a huge factor in how we play. But you're right, he needs to learn to adjust across all 38 league games plus the cups.
To be honest I was fearing the worse, however after 10 minutes it was clear the Team were well drilled and never looked in any danger!
How refreshing to have a plan.
Incredible. That's title contention form.
Have to wonder if the board/levy look to the finer details like that should Ange win the cup, when deciding if he should stay.
When everyone else is enjoying the Sun, "those that know Football" are screaming that everyone's going to get skin cancer.
maybe
maybe it's the players telling him how to do it. It's not as if they have to tell him to stay away from the training ground after all
bit like Robson at Italia '90.
Pool have definitely been the best team this season and deserve their title.
It's very disappointing that Spurs are languishing in the bottom half of the table.
BUT
The question is, would you prefer Spurs to finish in the the top 4 of the League or would you prefer them to be in a Cup final?
