I watched maybe 10 minutes in between doing stuff at work and it was boring as fuck. No interest in a champions league KO game is a pretty good indication of how shit the football is.
And yet you were still more up for it than the team was.

Really feels that he really doesn’t respect us doesn’t it. Like it’s beneath him to go to work.

We have to not be deluded and realise he is above us in footballing terms. Mourinho was above us, Conte is above us. We hate to admit it and its horrible but we are below them. We've achieved nothing to warrant being above them.

And that is why the big glossy manager cant continue.

Conte is basically the girl who is going to break up with you anyways but wants you to be the one to do it, so she intentionally acts like a wanker about little things and makes you take her out for expensive dinners until you snap

Let us not forget Paratici turned away Fonseca because he felt he was too attacking as a coach.
Exactly this is what worries me greatly! He turned away fonseca and tried to get fucking gattuso but at the end of the day, who hired Paratici….

You guessed it… Levy.

"for medical reasons antonio has left the club and returned to italy, ahead of his planned departure at the end of the season. We would like to take the opportunity to thank antonio, and his staff for all they have done. Ryan Mason will be leading first team training until the end of the season"
Spot on and to add we have paint ball on the NFL pitch: the only paint ball on an NFL pitch by the way, in the world, solar system, galaxy and universe.

Conte to Italy's Amazon Prime​

These are pretty bad questions tonight (laughs). I am tired because I underwent an operation. I continue to work, I have a contract with Tottenham. I respect the contract. At the end of the season, assessments will be made with the club in the most serene way, I'll have my say... I have a contract about to expire and let's see how the season ends. Maybe they can send me away even earlier. Perhaps the expectations were higher and may be disappointed. What matters for a coach is trying to work and raise the bar. This year we are struggling to raise the bar. Bringing the level from average to good is much simpler, problems still arise when raising it".

Hmmm

I was going to come in here and say those who expect him gone tomorrow may have wishful thinking but after reading that...

We know we "need to work", but there also comes a point when you stop and say "we need to do something different" cause it's not working.

But Conte just gets them to grind more and I dont think the players are enjoying it.

I get that the problems run deeper than the manager but I don’t see how anyone can want him to stay now. Yes we’ve got some average players but they’re nowhere near as bad as he makes them look. In my opinion, of course. We’re always 10 yards deeper than we should be and I think if they were relieved of Conte’s instructions our players would be much more attacking. I don’t think any manager will make this lot great but they’re much better than what they’re being allowed to show. This is like death by a thousand cuts.
How many managers have made them look that bad?
