As you can probably tell from my username, im a Celtic fan. I was gutted to see Ange leave us. We had just gone through a huge failure of a season and the team was stale and the club felt separated from the fans. Ange was announced and no one thought 'YES!!!' we had our hearts set on Eddie Howe. Hell even our commentators were pissing themselves at the pronunciations of Postecoglu.
He arrived alone and got stuck in, but if most of us are honest, we didnt really expect much, pundits were saying he wouldnt last til christmas etc. He proved them all wrong, he is a no nonsense manager, the board (historically cheap) started to buy into his vision and backed him with funding and he brought the club back to the fans. In all my time supporting Celtic, i have never felt closer to the club than when Ange was Manager. He encouraged players to spend time together outside of the club to build chemistry and it worked.

He has a philosophy of never stopping during the game. You will see fast paced football, with quick throws/free kicks to catch the opponents off guard. Unfortunately, my English team has always been towards Arsenal (without any knowledge of the history between you both) but i really want Ange to continue proving people wrong. If he is backed and given time to implement his vision, you will be lifting trophies again..

If you have felt distanced from the club in recent times, i really believe that you wont feel that way much longer. Good luck this season guys/gals.

I'm sorta tuning out our results over the first five or six games. As there is going to be so much player turnover during the next two weeks. Can see at least five or six off, and maybe if we're lucky, 2 or 3 in. So, Ange has a lot of work on his hands, as the squad is in a state of flux. Hopefully a lot of them will be available during the first international break. Give him a chance to bed-in some of the new players.

I do love his attitude. He is not short of confidence. But he's not arrogant. He's a decent human being, but unafraid to make calls that some players may take personally. He knows what he wants, but isn't inflexible. He's brave, but not cavalier.

I think we will see Ange's best team over the last 12 games of the season. That's when they will come into their own. So, I really do hope everyone's patient. Be okay with us lurking mid-table by end of December. But once it clicks into place, (hopefully with the right players), it could be some breathtaking stuff.

If I was Brentford, I would have been annoyed having not beaten us. We are a team in transition. But at the end of the day, we were actually the better team.

How will he fix our front 3 do we think?

Getting used to the system will help, but most teams won't defend as well as Brentford, only 1 team scored more than 2 goals at Brentford last season and they only conceded 18 at home in total.

They were the perfect team to play IMO, not for result, but to test the tactic and see where the weaknesses are and where we need to improve.

Nah... we were all over them and they got lucky with a soft pen and an own goal. If our new back line weren't playing together for the first time, and actually remembered each other's first names, they'd have got nothing.

Would've been funny if we'd hired someone with the surname Foot...

His first name would need to be Foot as well though because sometimes people use the first name e.g Ange's style of football and sometimes the surname e.g Conteball. A manager with the name Foot Foot would then have to have his football known as Football.
I really need to go out and get some air...

This is going to be like Jo Wood isnt it? She's the exwife of Ronnie Wood, divorced in 2011. EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE that features her "living her best life" quotes her as saying "I'm over Ronnie" or "Split from Ronnie was the best thing"

Don't believe me? Google Jo Wood

They didn't get lucky.

They achieved exactly what they set out to do.

10 men behind the ball hit us on the break. Scored two, and should have scored 3 or 4 (we could have scored a couple more too).

If his name were Dave Foot, no one is calling it DaveBall.

Fuck I hope this scapegoat culture goes. Always around but a nastier streak was brought by Mourinho and Conte and it's still lingering. Just pointlessly mean for the sake of clicks.

Before this spreads as truth, if the below is what your basing this off, then it’s quite obviously spoof.



And if it wasn’t from this, then apologies

That story sounds a bit too close to the Tuchel 'There's your daddy' comment to Lukaku story that was doing the rounds when he was at Chelsea.
