Lastly. Infuriating that Frank waited until they scored their 4th before making the Spence and Kudus changes. They were rocking slightly after we scored and bringing off a knackered Kudus and on a more attacking Porro could've changed the game. Too little. Too timid. Too late.

Obviously this is extremely bitter because we deserved absolutely nothing yesterday, but it's also so frustrating that 3 of their goals were scored after lucky bounces falling to them or deflections. Ever the way with that lot though.

Not sure if rose-tinted specs but I feel like we really fell off once Sarr was inexpicably dropped from the side (and since played out of form).

Those little Woolwich weasels and their cretin manager are going to walk the league with the worst football in absolute decades.

Rewarded with a day off, is it?

All pretty gross really. Small in the grand scheme of things but you only have to look at divs like Statham and Ramsay falling over themselves to kiss his feet today to see everyone is on the take.

Ange could definitely also fit into serial trophy winner in fairness.

Statue works!

Works for me

I agree with you! Although admittedly, I didn't before the final. The mood around the club clearly changed, he deserved the chance to give it a go at least.

Agree on the other candidates but I wouldn't be disappointed with Frank. Decent bloke and good manager who deserves a shot at a "big" club.

That's fair enough. I absolutely couldn't stand Conte either - sucked the life out of the club.

Ultimately Ange will be remembered for one historic thing - giving us that amazing night in Bilbao. Wouldn't swap that for a 2nd place finish!

Fair enough. How about arguing with the fans (in person at games and via the media pre-City game)? Gaslighting the fans claiming that we were aiming for the EL from Jan, or that he *didnt* cup his ears at Chelsea?

Again, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve respect. I am saying it wasn't all rosy.

Let's not rewrite history here, there was a lot going on. 17th place, arguments with fans, arguments with journos/media etc. He did a lot right but to say he did "everything" right is ridiculously disingenuous.

I'd love to think his morals are stronger than that, but you never know...

4 1 is not a hammering.

When's the parade lads?

Have to say I don't think the fans have ever really talked the EL down. Think it's always been quite important to us to take it seriously.

Same - it's so quiet on here. Tried to replicate the Twitter experience but it's just not getting there is it.
