No, because your counter arguments of any mere Ange support from anybody's post always centred at calling them as some low form beings, idiots, cults or what not, when your support of Frank, or even any other non-Ange humans, at the moment is possibly more emotionally inclined than any of the previous Ange supporters were.

Don’t care about pre season results, or if there is mistakes happening. More concerned that we don’t look like we’re going to create chances and the rushed panicked clearances in defensive situations under a little bit of pressure. The attacking area I can somewhat get as we are short on quality. But defensively we’re better than just hacking it away straight back to the opposition. That’s late 90s stuff
Can’t really judge a coach on the first few games: end of first season, into the second is when the coaching pays off.
…unless you’re a freakishly good coach and have inherited a team with similar style and not too many bad habits who’ve just fallen out with the manager (ie, Harry, Conte). If you’ve inherited a team with collective stupidity who think playing crazy-Ange football is the ‘pure’ way (as reported?) then goodness knows…
EDIT: and you’ve lost the only two players with visible brains to age and being put out to pasture and injury for the season…

Def can't judge the poor man for this window we are letting him down so far imagine going into psg with practically the same team as last year minus son
lol There's no possible way to substantiate such a patently ludicrous statement (tho will be fun watching you twist yourself into a pretzel trying).
Which, in itself, total justifies the level of delusion I assign to you weidos.
Lol, stop proving me right.
I would have preferred Gasner to be honest.
Not sure how that proves you right (???).
And that reply just makes you look more detached from reality than I insinuate about you lot.
Lets see where we are in October.
Have you been backed sufficiently?
Pretty good responses on X for a change
Funnily enough, Vinai didn't approve/select the person who asked that one.
Will completely hinge on the next three weeks.
Thomas Frank on the squad, and how close is it to being what he wants...
"I think that's difficult. I think that there's no doubt that I want, how can I say this, a big enough, small enough squad! You know what I mean?
It needs to be big enough and robust enough to compete in all four tournaments because that's extremely important, but I can't have too many players.
It's just so difficult to keep everyone happy, it is almost impossible, and then we also want to see if we can add in enough quality, but again, we don't want to sign players we don't think can really improve the squad.
Then I would rather wait to have the right talented players. I'm not here for the short term fix.
I want to build something that can last, so we need to think longer term, but of course we need to compete now. That's my thought process."

My god, wouldn't it be lovely to be able to just dispense with the whole mealy-mouthed media circus that surrounds the game?
We as fans get nothing of insight out of it.... Even injury news is shrouded in smoke and vagueness.
