    👨🏼‍💼 Ange Postecoglou - Manager Thread

    Couldn’t agree more re the trophies that’s what we all want. But if we play our “strongest eleven” in every cup match squad players are reduced to turning out to cover injuries and suspensions. Firstly, we need a stronger squad so changes don’t make such a big impact and secondly choose your...

    👨🏼‍💼 Ange Postecoglou - Manager Thread

    Watch his full interview and you might view him differently, or, you might not. I personally was very interested in the explanation he gave for his comments both pre and post the City game with focus on why he believes the foundations are not yet in place. Still has my backing and believe if we...

    The Fans

    Not surprisingly I put Ali on regularly as a way going to sleep and rarely get beyond having to listen to seven or eight minutes. If I want to go to sleep more quickly I put on his podcast with the guy Guest whose voice and speech is much slower and more boring than AG’s!!

    👨🏼‍💼 Ange Postecoglou - Manager Thread

    Sometimes we need to accept that all of us watch the same game but view much of it, and individual performances, differently. Over the years a number of Managers have stuck with certain players when we as fans think they’re crap and others we believe are the bees knees who don’t get a look in...

    VAR Vote

    Agree and they get over involved in decisions that aren’t a substantial error. That said it’s really frustrating when you should have a corner, as the deflection off De Bruyne last night, and it’s not easily corrected by VAR man. A simple word in the refs ear takes no time and without any time...

    👨🏼‍💼 Ange Postecoglou - Manager Thread

    Yeah good job we got rid of our previous one because a significant number on here didn’t think he worked hard enough!! Haaland did sweet FA last night but put the ball in the net twice. If he was at Spurs said critics would want to get rid as he failed to cover their central defender when Son...

    👨🏼‍💼 Ange Postecoglou - Manager Thread

    Ange’s media responses should have filled any true Spur’s fans heart with pure delight. He demonstrated that he’s here to win things and he has repeatedly said that the level of change required will take time. I appreciate that a number of us older fans have never suffered a lack of success as...

    MATCH THREAD v City 8 pm 14/5/24

    Unfortunately I have to agree with you. He’s looked a shadow of his former self for months now and the one quality he always had was putting the ball in the net but he seems to have completely lost that. We need two quality forwards in the summer, plus two in midfield and a better right back...

    MATCH THREAD v City 8 pm 14/5/24

    Would you be happier if we 3-0 down? You clearly don’t like the Manager and insult most of the players on a regular basis surprised what result do you actually want tonight? Personally I want us to win, fucking bad luck if that helps Arsenal all I care about is we improve as a team and a win...

    MATCH THREAD liverpool 16-30 Sunday

    Another disappointing performance and the last twenty minutes might camouflage what was in reality a bitterly poor performance. At the present time our midfield three, whichever combination is chosen, are just not at the races and we have got into tippy tappy passing with no end product. Thought...

    Other Games 23/24

    Hi Sleaford do you know Terry Smith in Sleaford? Plays for the over 60’s English walking football team now but used to play alongside him for the Monson’s back a few years!!

    Ange may have lost the dressing room...

    This is where Ange has to demonstrate that he is a leader who can recognise, understand and address weaknesses in the squad and set up. By appointing a set piece coach we would all get a little glow as we would see that he is the person we want in charge and improvement will be achieved.

    Ange may have lost the dressing room...

    Think it’s easy to overlook how young this side is, not only in age, but in premiership experience. Ange to is going through a steep learning curve and if he’s the coach a number of us think (hope) he is appropriate adjustments will be made to our squad and to some of our tactical approach. My...

    Transfers - Summer 2024

    Or, maybe he needs this summer break to get himself totally over his two serious injuries. Think he’s shown previously how good he can be but the injuries have set him back and I think he’s worth another season to see if he can recapture that form.
