Like most people on this forum it was great to see Ange appointed as manager of an EPL club.However it was disillusioning for him when a large section of the Spurs supporters did not want their side to win against Man City so that their hated North London rivals had less chance of topping the premiership.Ironic that Man City is owned by fabulously wealthy Middle Eastern oil sheiks and that historically Spurs had a strong Jewish identity.I know that this is no longer the case as the Jewish influence has been diluted but still the Spurs fans stance struck me as paradoxical.

I also know that club rivalries run deep in world football,particularly in Europe and South America(Rangers v Celtic,Barcelona v R Madrid,Boca Juniors v River Plate and Penarol v Nacional are prime examples) but a true supporter should never hope his side loses a game or perhaps I am old fashioned.

The Club is delighted to announce that our Men’s first team will travel to South Korea as part of its pre-season tour of Asia this summer 🇰🇷

We will compete in the Coupang Play Series 2024, which will include a fixture against @FCBayern at the iconic Seoul World Cup Stadium

yes its strange ol world Booney.

Anyway I'm sure Ange is glad to see the back of his first tenure in the top flight.
Still think under the circumstances he has done very well.
Will be watching what transpires over the summer, he needs to pull in players that suit his game.

I look forward watching their coming Toon game at Marvel tomorrow night and pics sent to me from daughter and spurs devotee boyfriend, I'm sure they will enjoy.

You don't understand rivalries against your hated foe.

I think most Spurs fans would have taken 5th at the start of the season after losing Harry Kane. Problem is that Spurs made such a great start that people thought they'd go on to win the league. Squad is not deep enough to challenge City, Arsenal and Liverpool. 

I reckon ange was using it to have a bet both ways in case he gets another offer
There is no way he didn't know what spurs fans are like 

Ange has consistently shown in the latter stages of his career he is prepared to jump quite quickly, I reckon this public reaction was an multi-layered insurance policy, 

yep that early run set up a woeful false dawn and media beat up might I add.
Had a relatively easy early draw.
There was NO WAY that they were going to be contending at all, not with that old squad lacking bench and adjusting without Kane near 30 goals.

Heard a rumour that Spurs are training at AAMI tonight and some may come down to the South/Preston game as guests of FA ..... lets see shall we :)

With all due respect as I am looking forward to going tonight, but imagine coming to Australia for a few days from Europe after playing all season and spending a night at Connor Reserve in the freezing cold lol 

I'd be straight to the closest bar or getting some company to the penthouse 

Hahahahaha I absolutely agree ... hahahahahahah Some of the Hellas fans I speak to are absolutely delusional...
One was convinced that the reason for all the security at the match is to protect the VIPs like Son and Maddison. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAH

Enjoy the match tonight, Im sure you will be supporting the "right" club? :P

ha ha 

To be honest I am a neutral but probably have to go for the underdog 

Taking some germans and french from the staff, looking forward to it. 

Its gonna be a multicultural love-in.... hahahahaha 

Did Levy speak with some Qatari group a while ago about investing? 

It’s not cold to them a mild summer 🌺 haha

Poch has departed Chelsea. Bayern talking to Kompany.

Ange 16k miles away for now. 

would you seriously think Bayern would consider Ange ? Kompany is another crazy thought if so by them.

Daughter was at the Spurs training run yesterday, luved it up close and personal, said there was a good crowd.

wow Poch gone via mutual consent... maybe he got word of the United job opening up soon?

he's too nice a bloke for that toxic club and people say Spurs is OT is far worse and huge rebuild.

I reckon he would have had his chelsea troops in good stead for next season as it was starting to show, their loss imo.
DeZerbi is mentioned and would be a good catch.

At least there is no sherrin to be seen

Bunch of farkin cunce.

Ange should know better for fuck's sake.

THIS !

He chose AFL over football last night .... sellout. Must have been paid a motza to smile and wave to the customers last night.

Vicario was filmed sigh a Sherrin. Ange supports Carlton, doesn't he? Wish they'd rejected all AFL meet ups. 

If only an AFL journalist had asked why a meet up was rejected with something along the lines of just being too busy with their own game the evident reach and growth in Australia too. 

Ange is a Carlton die hard. Back in the day the sherrins would come out often at South training sessions.

I'm actually going to disagree with a lot of you here. Carlton obviously made the effort here where is football? You don't get anooyed at your mate because his attracting all the girls ya get off ya arse and do something about were they even advertising the a league last night? 

You're kidding? He went to AFL instead of South?

and there in lies the other prob with melbourne, you guys need to finally put a line through the sand, long ago I understand, you had to blend in with the afl mates and peer pressure but modern times we have all learnt and seen what a cancer that game is to our game.....
It doesn't get 2bob of my hard earned, never has or views on my mobile, time you guys started not providing tick sales.

MCG - bang on re football making the noise, mind you unlike some here who quote didn't know these EPL clubs were here, shows they are not on the page themselves re football and whats doing here for it is big news having 2 OS large EPL Clubs on our shores, the small mindedness of no aussie to view is more ignorance imo.
At least Ange quoted in a press interview the other day this is good for football here, the exposure, but who exploited it ??? the FA ? nope not that I could see.
He even quoted it highlighted football in regards to the AL GF coming up.
This place, meaning Oz its such a joke about football and so many peoples look at it all.

Hahahah to be fair, AFL came to him ....... its the details that matter :P lol

Sure thing mate, stop banging on about NRL then and we'll see if we can get the whole of Victoria, SA, TAS, WA and NT to accommodate your wishes :).
