Not sure where best to post this, but I guess it is 'Rival-related'....

Wherever you place it however, it is still complete bonkers! <doh> I'm sure in some places it can get out of hand, but in general, banter between supporters is a positive in the workplace.

Just a reminder, Arsenal were the only PL club not to post anything for International Women's Day last year

Almost as if they knew they'd have to lock the comments, so didn't bother...
 
I have worked at my place for just under ten years. I have been out with the team on nights out 3 times. Don't really like pubs and find socialising with big groups exhausting.

I get on really well with virtually every one. One of my staff responsibilities is checking in with everyone (cleaners, office and premises staff, therapists, teachers, TAs and and senior leadership) to make sure they have someone to talk to so that they don't feel over whelmed etc. and take work problems own.

I'm considered a real team player but going by that judgement I should never have been employed
Has to be a ****ing mofo gooner **** to come up with a judgement like that



... mind you I do occasionally swear :bandit:
 
Ange’s first game, 1 goal conceded from high line, 1 injury to first choice centre back!
 
Genuinely wish him all the best outside of our games obviously.

I was no fan of his management towards the end but he brought us long awaited silverware (and great silverware at that) and seemed/ seems a really decent bloke.

Be interesting to see what style he does play though, I think he was forced to go defensive with us purely because too many of our players were ****ed to go all gung-ho so I’m expecting a typical high line, high press style which is the polar opposite to Nuno. Milenkovic is one of the best CBs in the league but if he plays a high line, Sels is going to be a very busy keeper!

wish him all the best, but I can only see this appointment going pear shaped. There was so much more talent in his Spurs squad than there is currently at Forest. And we were woeful in the league.
Under Frank, we actually look coached, which is damning for Ange. he’s gonna have to change his approach, or as others have said, this is going to be short lived. he’ll be lucky to be in charge for a second season, let alone win anything.
 
Amorim’s system which he will never, ever, ever depart from, can’t defend, can’t score goals and gets outnumbered and dominated in midfield every time. Apart from that, it’s great

How long will he get?

Started the season under pressure and their first few results including the league cup game haven’t helped him.

Spent fortunes, but there is no improvement.
Dysfunctional team and set up.
No evidence of any team unity if stories are to be believed.
He is intransigent yet his methods are clearly not working; his record - over what is now a reasonably long period of time from which to draw a conclusion - is appalling.
Changing managers isn’t always the answer, but keeping him clearly isn’t either.
Are there enough good players to be a half decent decent if properly coached and organised? Possibly, but any new manager won’t have funds to address weaknesses and will have to persevere with what he’s got.
