Fair. I was just having a little rant of my own
Not deluded at all. I realise that there's a massive gulf in class between the two leagues.
However there is also a massive gulf in resources, and I thought that even though Levy is a tight cunt, there would still be enough spending to enable Ange to make an impact this season.
It seams I was wrong, so what now? Change the manager, or give him another window or two.
I would go with the latter.
Ange has already proved Cunte a complete cheque book fraud.
Whatever he said was solely looking to set fire to the place with one aim of getting his pay off, so don’t trot out that wanker as some sort of all seeing prophet!
I think the extended new manager bounce may be fading...
No one is turning on Sarr and it's not one poor game..I said the same thing the other day.
Where as Tottenham, will never be champions.
Ange is a self-admittedly football ‘purist’ believing in skills, holding the ball and creation of chances. Similar to other major football ‘philosophers’ in the management game, the key attribute is to control the ball and so dominate the direction by limiting possession for the opposition.
The general basis of Angeball revolves around an adoption of the Italian pressing game which had long become common across many top clubs in Europe albeit adapted and evolved. Generally requires the lines to move with each other and leave minimal gaps between the lines. Add in short passing and movement to stretch the opposition. Often seen as Dutch influenced but really a synthesis of styles.
The above is extracted from a Celtic fans forum. How is Ange-Ball any different from the Barca of more than a decade ago, Liverpool, City or Woolwich of today. Easy they had or have better players and a Plan B.
.........Some were, mate.
Out done by a manager who has more experience of the premier league and his players were well on it to win
What was the point fulham building a new main stand? It was fucking empty. Should give that stand to away fans. Still 10 games to go. 6 wins should bag us top 4. Need to buck up though. Too cocky today.
Inconsistent.
Just fucking rubbish today man.
Just fucking rubbish today man.
Why. Because he spoke some home truths that sting your sensitive butt? Bwah Bwah fucking Bwah
The 'prick' also performed a fucking miracle and dragged our team into the fucking champions league at the expense of our hated rivals only to see zero ambition in the subsequent transfer window and look at how the tables have turned since....you pathetic, squirming apologist for failure
We've won it TWICE. may I suggest Google?
I fully understand that, and if Anges' Celtic came up against Spurs they'd be ripped to shreds.
However at Spurs it's not EPL players v SPL players.
It's EPL vs EPL, which is why I expected Ange to do well , in time I hope he will, but today was a major set back
Was told today it is going to be £160 a game in new stand
Ange Postecoglou on wasting the chance to move into the top 4:
“You can level any accusation you want. I get it and I'm happy for people to run that sort of commentary because it's meaningless to me. I don't see fourth as the prize. This club has finished fourth before. It's finished second before. You can throw all types of things at it, it's reached the Champions League final, you can throw all sorts of things but this club has achieved things. So fourth is not my end goal.I don't want to finish fourth if we haven't grown as a team and developed as a team. If nobody believes me then that's fine.
Part of the narrative is to push you in these kind of positions where you think that fourth is some kind of achievement that gives you something for next year. It doesn't give you anything unless...fourth would be great if I feel like we're growing as a team and we're creating something that is going to bring us success next year.But fourth is not our goal. It hasn't been. It's not my goal. It certainly isn't my goal but I get it from the outside, particularly in the Premier League, it seems like people push you into that position where you succeed or fail just on an outcome. I just don't think that's how you get success. Success is built on, I think, more tangible stuff. If we finish fifth and if I think we've got a team to challenge next year then I won't be disappointed.”

I should have said again, you will never have to Google that
