Other games (2025/26)

[Yorkie]

Incredibly refreshing to see a European team beat a PL side.

 

Pity Villa are obviously gonna win the Europa. Competition's on it's arse.

[Lush Vlad]

Replacing a manager they loved who has given the fans their best season in decades. With a thoroughly unlikeable bloke. Who also happens to have a style that is basically the polar opposite to what their success was built on. 
 

It never really seemed like a good idea. Which is a bit of an understatement. But I thought they might have got some kind of new manager bounce or the odd good performance or result. 
 

Not sure how long I thought it would be before they fully turned on him. But probably more than 6 games  

 

Destined to fail and doomed from the start. 
 

First win on Sunday then?!….

You're not accounting for the fact that Ange has greek heritage, which is seemingly very important for some reason.

After tonight's showings in Glasgow and Nottingham, I think it would be best for all parties if Ange trotted back up to Celtic and sees out the rest of his days sweeping aside dross and cruising to titles and Rodgers tries to recover what's left of his reputation at Forest

This needs to be called out properly. Not some mild words from pundits etc. all clubs should be calling this shit out and demanding that there is accountability until this shit is rooted out the game 

 

The fact 3 people got to see replays of that and still called it wrong is ridiculous. Can accept onfield referees missing certain things in real time even if they can sometimes look obvious on screen, but that last night is a farce.

Shared heritage can be the only reason because Ange was a joke figure after his stint at Tottenham. Can't think of any other reason you would sack your most successful manager for years and replace him with a proven dud. 

[La Parka]

It's all coming up good to bring Anderson home....

[Checko]

Think it's harsh to call Ange a proven dud, he's had a successfuol mangerial career in a lot of places. Obviously his first stint at the very highest level went a tad south, but he did still fluke a trophy, and as Napoleon would say, 'give me a lucky general over a good general'. Feels like with him it's a question of can he become more flexible in his approach.

 

Hopefully not and he sends Forest down (even though I like Forest) and we can nab Anderson back.

He barely kept Spurs clear of relegation last season, with the players at his disposal, that was pretty damning. His start at Forest suggests no, he can't become more flexible in his approach either. 

[Checko]

Probably not, and I wouldn't want him here, but Spurs also has a horrific injury crisis, fobbed the league at the end to focus on Europe and only a -1 goal difference so they probably got quite a few less points than they actually deserved. Not at all surprised he was sacked (I was desperately hoping they'd keep him after the Euro win), it was a dreadful league campaign. But he's not Wayne Rooney, he actually does have a lot of managerial experience and past success. So I wouldn't write him off completely just yet. I hope Forest don't anyway, though I feel like their Chairman's not reluctant to pull the trigger.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Whether or not Ange is ultimately a decent manager or not, I don't know. The more important point is that he's currently at a very difficult and possibly unsalvageable point in his PL career and appointing him to succeed Nuno was an idiotic thing to do.

Fucking where?

At Spurs he won a Cup Spurs should have been winning in anyway, and almost got them relegated in the process.

At Celtic he won everything with no competition.

I’m not even going to count Australia where people like Robbie Fowler were managing.

Always find it a bit mad that Howe was on the verge of being Celtic manager. 

What a waste that would have been. Go to Celtic win everything by automatic right, not have the players to mount a European challenge, be eventually forced out and not even leave as a club legend.

Quote

We don't need to rely on Ekitike going one-on-one with the goalkeeper and getting pulled on his shoulder three times and trying everything to stay on his feet, like our players mainly do. And one minute later a player goes to the ground after this [imitates small contact] and goes to the ground like it's the worst hit he has ever had and the referee gives a penalty.

 

"Again, this can happen and we should be better than that, that it doesn't matter if we have luck or no luck or whatever.

 

"By the way, if we had the same referee we had against Galatasaray, we wouldn't have lost against Palace. Because this one blew his whistle exactly after eight minutes.

 

"But again this has nothing to do with the current results. We need to do better."

 

Lovely stuff.

It was the first thing I thought at the time tbh. Couldn't believe how chilled Ekitike was about it, and a classic example of if you don't go down you don't get anything. Seemed a very clear foul.
