Stuart Attwell doing the FA Cup final, best of luck lads!

Bodø/Glimt assistant, Gaute Helstrup, delivered a weird (yet very funny) sneak-diss of Postecoglu in an interview today when asked how it felt knowing that they'd most likely seal Postecoglu's fate as Spurs manager if they knocked them out of Europe; "It's never fun to hear about other coaches in trouble. Well, if you could really call him (Postecoglu) that."

Spurs will batter them though.

Spurs will win 2-1 at home and then lose 3-0 away. Spurs are absolute trash, as are you guys. Bilbao would wreck Glimt beyond recognition, though.

[Optimistic Nut]

I hope Spurs smash them just for those quotes.

We've already battered Glimt to be fair. One of the worst teams we've played this season.

 

Hojlund got a brace.

Qarabag were infinitely better than Man Utd, there's a bunch of teams that were in the EL this season that should've easily dispatched B/G in a knock-out match-up. Spurs and Man Utd aren't among those, because they've been absolute shit all season and just because they're English doesn't mean them being horrible all season will suddenly change. Bilbao will bum Man Utd so hard they'll not be able to walk for the rest of the season. Spurs'll most likely get a win at home, but not by more than 2. Only two teams have bettered B/G by more than 2 in the last five seasons of European football, like fuck will Spurs be the third. 

 

Bilbao though? They'd be capable of doing that, which doesn't bode well for Man Utd. 

[Froggy]

For someone who is mad for stats you sure are ignoring a lot of stats with these observations of yours.

 

We battered Glimt. It should have been a cricket score. I would expect Spurs to do the same based on what I've seen. Even the poor Premier League sides usually have too much for these kind of teams in Europe.

Does he not mean "if" he (Postecoglu) is "in trouble"? 

 

That's my take. No coach would say "if" you can call him that (a manager)

Decent money to be made here for you @Kaizero

I expect Spurs to go through, as they should do really, they're a Premier League team playing a Norwegian team, but I don't think its nailed on, mainly as I would think over two legs Lazio would beat Spurs, and Bodo just beat Lazio, and are in the semi-finals on merit. Spurs are utter utter trash, and go to a team that play on a 4G pitch, and the last time Spurs played on a 4G pitch they required extra time to beat Tamworth.

Already put 50 on it the same day Spurs lucked themselves through the QF's. Couldn't have asked for an easier opponent in the Semis, honestly believed Lazio would be a size or two too large for B/G to overcome – but they did, and Lazio is ten times the team Spurs is. I was being hyperbolic about you guys, given the club's experience in Europe I'd imagine you'd beat B/G in the final as well. Fully believe Bilbao is the strongest team left in it though and Spurs the weakest. B/G third, but not that much behind Man Utd under Amorim given how he refuses to do anything else tactically than his one go-to set-up.

I'm not sure I've ever wanted a non-nufc related post to be more correct.

It's likely a callback to when Postecoglu managed Celtic and made a lot of disparaging comments about B/ where he essentially called them a nothing club full of semi-pros living in wooden huts, more interested in fishing than football – whilst Celtic was a massive historic club and would make short process of a team llke B/G.

 

Then, this happened:

Given that context I'll rescind my post 😂

Surely there's no way Postecoglu said that.  I can't find a reference to it anywhere. 

 

While Postecoglu can be a bit combative in interviews with the media, he's usually fairly respectful to other clubs and managers.

[Coco]

Only quotes I can see...

 

“People should realise what they did to Roma,” Postecoglou said. “They did it in Rome as well.

 

“They grabbed my attention back then – before we knew we were going to play them.

 

“They have an outstanding manager and they play an aggressive, expansive style of football. It should be a cracking game.

 

“We are in a heavy schedule of games but at the same time, we are in a good moment. We’re in good form, players are fit.

 

“Bodo are similar to us when we go in to our Champions League qualifiers as they are in pre-season mode at the minute. That could potentially work both ways. We have the match sharpness, but they could have a freshness about them.

 

“I’ve got no doubt they will both be cracking games because of the way they play – and we won’t change our approach.

 

“We are heading to the Arctic Circle so even the Scottish weather will go out of the window.

 

“That’s the beauty of European football. For me as a manager, that’s what gets the adrenaline pumping. Testing yourselves in different conditions against different teams and different types of set ups.

 

“Going in to the Conference League, we can test ourselves against some great clubs.

 

“Bodo/Glimt have been Norwegian champions these last two years and they play aggressive, expansive football.

 

“I can’t wait for it.”

Reprehensible quotes, he should be ashamed.

[Kid Icarus]

I love just how far away those quotes are from what was claimed  

[Optimistic Nut]

Surprised our gutter press haven't been all over those Assistant quotes, they'd have had a field day using them to go to town on Ange.
