Thought you'd like that. Probably not words that are in any dictionary you've read but knew you'd appreciate it.

I have to say though, if ever there was a prime example of a snow flake I think it would probably be you.

"snowflake" is a derogatory slang term used to describe someone perceived as being overly sensitive, easily offended, or having an inflated sense of entitlement

Doesnt say anything about moaning but who am I to argue with the walking dictionary?

Honestly? You seem intimidated. Bless you.

Possibly, but I doubt it.

For context though (I know how much you like context), we were having a civilised discussion until someone piped up and called us miserable clams. I then called him out for it and your issue is with me? At least make it make sense.

In fairness, I looked to delete the comment you just replied to because it was petty and unnecessary on my part. I don't know you so such assumptions are unhelpful.

My point was simple. You took offence to someone calling you out for constantly complaining and called them a 'snowflake' which I think could easily place you in the same light. Given that you'd already taken a couple of swings at me for 'overwriting' and informing me this was not a place for poets, I thought I'd do something cheeky and write a haiku for ya!
Hands up, that was uncalled for and did nothing to cease this stupidity. So for my part in doing that, I genuinely apologise.The vehicle was unnecessary.

You don't know me, so your views on what/who you think I am are solely yours to either enjoy or endure.

I'll take this opportunity to say that I will do my very best to avoid detailed engagement with you, as it appears we are unable to have a conversation without it resorting to silliness.
I'll own my half of that, no problem.

Here's hoping we might be able to share the odd exchange without resorting to playground gonads again...

I can agree that there is a level of disruption that comes with changing managers. Do we need that right now?

As fans we don't have the insights into what conversations Munn is having with his direct reports. As the head of football operations, he has delivered a trophy but must be informing Ange that he needs to find a higher level of performance in his role. I admired Munn for not shooting from the hip when he could have pulled the trigger at the end of 2024. My instinct is saying that had Levy been running ops we might have seen that happen. Sometimes it is OK to continue with an employee knowing that they are not performing in all facets in their job. It depends on how the employee is to taking feedback on them. Ange needs to be receptive to acknowledging where he is underperforming and putting action plans in place. Perhaps that conversation has evolved and therefore Ange admitted privately that his methods weren't working. Perhaps Munn suggested that they were too idealistic for the environment Ange was working in. We've definitely seen Ange evolving right?

One thing I do feel is that there does seem to be harmony at the leadership level. No surprise to me that Levy putting this new structure in place has landed a trophy, even managing his own weaknesses in the execution of that plan. You have to admire him for finally doing it. Fans like me were talking about this over a decade ago.

the disruptions continued mid of this season because of the poor results and persistent injuries and it culminated in the hiring of venai venkat as CEO. the big question is can Ange get us top 4/5 next season - or win something to take us to CL the following year, Venai has some tough decisions ahead.

Is this a recent chant? I'd never heard it before the final, but I haven't been to any games for a little while. I like it, and considering he's our top scorer think he deserves his own song....

I think it started around the Brighton game last year (2-0 up / 3-2 loss) when he scored 6 or so in a row. A bit of a message to the trolls at that time.

Love that it's forever going to be a thing. 30 years from now we'll still be singing it, and everyone will instantly know what it means (and no one will remember where we finished in the league.)
 
Update

Now he's the king of the Europa cup
The Tottenham VIP
He's reached the top and he won't stop
That's what's pleasing me
I wanna be a matey mate club
And stroll around the ground
I wanna win the league
I'm tired of monkeying around


Ooohhh

oobie doo
I wanna be like you hoo hooo
I win in season twooo
Ange postagoalou

You'll see it's true hoo hooo
A spurs fan like me
Can learn to win more in season threeee

Oh yeah

Where's the coat stand
 
Since the Ange Out thread is now longer than this one, I've decided to ignore it and keep things positive in here. Starting with sharing thoughts of several players -- the people who mean the most.

If you're coming into this thread to spread your negativity...do one. There's about 300 other threads for that.

Dejan Kulusevski on the influence of Ange Postecoglou, and the identity that helped Tottenham Hotspur win the UEFA Europa League:

'Playing for this club is like being part of a family. Going into training, you love everybody. I’m going to become a father soon, and many of my teammates just got a kid, so we talk a lot about parenthood. I already know that the day I leave Spurs, the part I’ll miss the most is the dressing room. ⁠
⁠
I think a lot of our family atmosphere is down to Ange. ⁠
⁠
Ange is brave, and he makes you brave. He doesn’t say a lot, but when he speaks, we can listen for hours. You can tell that he’s been through a lot, and he often talks about what he learned from his father. He is different from any other coach I’ve had. Everybody talks about tactics and winning, and that’s good, but with Ange it means a little bit more, because it’s about you as a person. It’s about you as a man and what you believe in. ⁠
Ange says, “I don’t care if we lose, because everyone loses in life. If we lose, we’re going to lose on our terms. Never go away from being you.”⁠
⁠
And that’s how I want to live my life. O.K., we’re gonna face the best, but we’re gonna do it our way. We’re gonna play like we did all our lives. ⁠
⁠
Let me be clear: We want to win. We are fighting so hard to give you the trophies you deserve. We train for you, we eat for you, we sleep for you. We know that this club changes lives. It’s a huge deal to me when I see people wearing my shirt, because that means we connect on some level. And I still find it incredible that I can simply score a goal and send 60,000 people home happy.⁠
⁠
But we are also a young team with many new players. We’re not gonna win every game. And actually, Ange never speaks about trophies. He says, “Yes, we’ll get there, but first of all we have to become us. We have to find ourselves.”'

Archie Gray & Lucas Bergvall:

Postecoglou also retains the strong support of the dressing room and teenagers Bergvall and Gray, who made 91 appearances between them this season under the Australian, were very clear when asked at the Maddison Invitational charity golf day whether the 59-year-old should remain in charge.

"A hundred per cent [he should stay], I think he’s done a great job," Bergvall told Sky Sports. "It’s not been easy for any of us, especially because of all the injuries, but as he said, he always wins things in his second year and that’s true."

When Gray was asked if Postecoglou should get a third season, the midfielder had no hesitation in responding: "Yes, definitely. It’s been a great season this year and it’s been a roller coaster of a season as well, not just at the end.

"We’ve obviously had some really tough times and we stuck together. He’s big on things like family and I think the main thing that helped us get to the final and win the final is our morals of what we’re like as a team. Like I said, family is our main thing. We believe in each other and it’s like brothers going out there on the pitch in the final and we just fought for each other."

James Maddison:

"Yeah, he's been brilliant.

"Even at the start of the season, saying 'I don't usually win things [in my second season], I always win things'. It's one of them, we knew that would create a big uproar in the media, with you lot never shutting up about it. But never once did I stop believing that he meant that.

"The season three line, that was iconic as well. He's got them in the locker, them motivational mic drop moments.

"Managers and clubs can go long periods without winning trophies, but he's a man who's always had success. His biggest strength is his self-belief in what he does, and that feeds off into us. That's been installed into us in Europe this year in all of the away games, even the ones in the group stage.

"In the round of 16, we had a really bad performance away at AZ Alkmaar, and he went heavy on us because you just know he's a winner, and we turned it around in the second leg and we're in the quarters.

"And every step we got closer and closer, and we believed more, and now we're winners and no one can ever take that away from us.

"It's a tough competition to win, we managed to get over the line with the gaffer, all together, all of us as a club, we all win together. Hopefully that, like the gaffer said, can keep the feeling, and we have that winning feeling now, and we know what it takes to win."
