Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

That sounds like absolute toxic bull plop. Bull plop I tell ye!

It's from a parody Twitter page - of course it's fake

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

Come on fellas, I literally said in the post that it’s spoof

 

[Trix]

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

I think you drastically misjudge the audience here @Rob. From what I've witnessed their cringe levels have no boundaries.

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

Two brilliant stats here that I heard from TVFTL podcast.

Spurs’ 358 attacking third touches we had was more than we had in any game last season.

And it was also the youngest Spurs team that we’ve fielded since March 2020.

One game in, and Ange has already pulled up trees.

This is the problem with accounts like Hotspur Relaled. If you know to look out for that second L you always check and realise it’s some bellend looking for attention. But if you don’t, it’s very easy to skim past posts and just read the tweet and take it on face value.

We saw at the weekend how quickly that shit spreads and infects the minds of people. Even when it was pointed out as fake news to Ravenspur the other day, he didn’t really care because the lie matched his opinion. So all it did was reinforce that opinion.

Imv that hotspur relaled account is fucking toxic, they might cry “it’s only a joke.” But it’s clearly designed to catch people out and as a result spread false information about our own players and activity. It’s damaging to the club, the team and the fan base’s morale.

Exactly. Dont people now the word related doesn't have 2 ls?

Some people don't realise that the word know contains a K either, so mistakes are possible.

What was the lie? I missed that drama !

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

What was the lie? I missed that drama !

Presumably that Dier was the only player not to vote for Son as captain.

 

[Tucker]

Someone spread the lie that Dier had unfollowed Spurs on Instagram and removed all mention of the club from his social media.

Dier never followed the club in the first place and never had any mention of it in his profiles.

There was also a pic of him doing the rounds where he said “I’m the captain now.” In an attempt to whip up a frenzy that he’d been chosen as the new captain. But it was a post from months ago.

I find it hard to believe that Ange asked for everyone votes to decide who is the captain. There is no reason for the part of acting by Ange to announce Son is the captain, unless it's all part of content purely for the social video. That I think will be overly cringe (although I do feel the video was kinda awkward) Still, my point is, Ange decides with no votes cast at all. It just didn't make sense for any voting to happen.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I find it hard to believe that Ange asked for everyone votes to decide who is the captain.

Mostly because Ange specifically said there were no votes - he was making the choice....

 

[McFlash]

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.

It's been here long before those two came along and personally, I blame Jenas.

I would have claimed it as socratic irony.

 

[Cochise]

Can we just not allow tweets from these shitposting twitter accounts?

 

[longtimespur]

Don't know why we can't just block all X tweets.
I hate the site and won't generally use it, it's worse that Twitter in my mind. I have to go to it when people put the post up as just the link.

Craig Foster, a former member of the Aussie squad, played for Brighton from memory, before becoming a commentator. Foster had a go at Ange because of the style he was imposing on the Aussie squad, Ange gave him a serve and after we won the Asia Cup, he quit and headed for Japan. He also did brilliantly at Brisbane. Cant recall the precise order of events.

He really is a no nonsense character, who will let the board and the players know exactly what he thinks.

I really like this attitude, reminds me of Ferguson so much. I'm really interested to see what happens with Son, on everything Ange has seen (in matches) Peresic should be starting imo.

But he's just made him captain.

I think Ange is not convinced of his 8 or his wingers quite yet.

Interesting he made 2 vice captains as well. Tin foil hat time....

Ange is not sure if Son will regain his form or suit his system in the long-term. So he made 2 vice captains for that reason.

I know he is still young and a bit rash but Romero is proper captain material.

I also like the idea of having both a defensive and offensive captain, makes sense to me. (Maddison/Son and Romero)

Obviously very early, but he's not scared of making decisions.

Sadly it won't and it'll move on to Skipp when we sell Dier.

This is a great start, need to do more with turning that attacking possession into chances though. Our xG from open play was 0.43 compared to Brentford's 1.32.
