... and in Other Football News

Arrogant is certainly not a word I would associate with Ange, and I’m an Orange Bastard! He was the least confrontational manager in Celtic’s history, never used excuses etc. never got involved in all the Rangers Tims ****e (unlike me).


He might have finished lowest with Spurs, but they had 9 first team players out for over 4 months with serious injuries, can you imagine City without McBurnie, Hughes, Lundstram, Ajay, Coyle, Slater, Gelhardt, Millar, Pandur out for 4 months or more???? He concentrated on Europe which he won. You can say what you like about who they had to face etc. they were the only team to get to the end, so with all due respect, you’re talking absolute bollocks.

 

australia have only won the asian cup once
and that was under big ange

 

Would come across better if he said the same things but looking straight at the camera rather than his boots.

 

‘Yeah, mate, we had to finish 17th so we could win the Europa League. It’s who we are, mate.’

*looks down at the floor*

 

johansson is the neur of the championship aint he

 

?? Sounds like a pretty normal season for us

 

Very true! Not quite that bad, but we do tend to lose key players all the time.

 

I've got to be very careful here not to upset someone on this board, but he comes across as a typical Aussie sports person. Read into that what you will

 

Ultra loud in victory, silent in defeat?

 

Edgy and spoiling for an argument all the time.

 

They take the rough with the smooth, especially when it comes to sandpaper.

 

There’s not many Celtic players or managers I would ever back or like, probably Kenny Dalgleish, Henrik Larsson and Ange. He probably felt bad himself and wanted to do better, but what he achieved with his top top players out for 4 months, was a miracle. Frank has them third atm, but they’ve drawn with Wolves, Brighton and Bodo in Europe, scraped past Leeds and the only real top 6 team they’ve played so far is Man City. Decent against PSG, but will it last? We’ll see.


I’m pretty sure if they’d kept Ange, they’d have done better this season, but I could be wrong.

 

Given their injuries, yes.

 

And we finished 21st with no trophy.

Well good luck Nobby.
Certainly up for a challenge

Apart from Terry Neil, player manager of Northern Ireland, have we had an ex player go on to internaional coach or manager.

 

Steve McClaren and Theo Whitmore

 

I had managed to successfully forget Steve Mclarens international career now I've been reminded it's all come flooding back!!!!


Oh dear.
I think I need to call for my medication
