Europa League 2024/25

Tracksuit looking outrageous but what on earth is he doing in those creps. Like rocking a smooth freshly tailor made suit and matching it with clowns shoes ffs.

Needed some Copa Mundials or old school Diadora football shoes to complete that look

The more I think about the final, the more certain I become that Tottenham will win. There are more flaws in the United squad and it feels like Ange is a slightly better manager than Amorim.

No Kulu, that's a big loss given Maddison is already out. They will lack some creativity there and Kulu generally smashes Utd.

I don't back every Australian at all - not even close.

But there is so much to respect about Ange - where he came from to get to the PL (Australia is a football backwater especially for coaches), the doubt/criticism he has faced every step of the way, the way he is brave in the way he plays and the number of trophies he has won playing that way (which you will dismiss it because its not the biggest European ones), the way he talks about football (a bit how I liked wenger in that regard) and the way he deals with the media. I am a massive fan of Bielsa also (equal with Ange) so its the type of manager I am drawn too I guess.

But as he is Tottenham coach, many will hate him whatever his attributes, so I could make the same statement back to you.

You couldn't really though, I'm no snob about smaller football countries and I had no reason to like or hate him before joining Tottenham, you enjoy anyone failing there obviously but I don't hate Nuno either.

There's plenty factual to dislike about him anyway, his ridiculous appearance for one but he must be the most passive aggressive manager I've ever seen in press conferences. If you're telling me you admire his way of dealing with media I'm sorry but you're blatantly biased towards him lol.

The only two things you can come up with are his appearance and media interviews? You are showing bias. I generally don't judge men, especially men in their late 50s, based on their appearance, but I guess if that's important to you.

**** the media, the English media are generally a bunch of morons. Why answer their questions when most of them are stupid. He had them eating out of his hands early on, but yes, he loses his cool (its not even that passive aggressive) so what?

But I have a biased towards him because I do like and respect him; and yes he is a role model for Australian football and any region of the world that is considered a football backwater.

There is such a lack of nationality diversity in football management at the top level - can't think of any other managers coming out of Oceania, Asia, Middle east or Africa, who have been given a chance in top European leaugues.

And I am sure there are other managers that are worth a chance, but its almost impossible for them to get an opportunity. So yes, I respect that just to get this opportunity, he had to win at every club he went to for 20 years playing a fairly unique attacking style. What is there not to respect about that?

And where are the black coaches? make up such a large proportion of the playing squads but when it comes to coaching, its very sparse. I wonder why this is...... I think John Barnes might have made a point about this when he was coaching Celtic.

Mate that was clearly a joke about him being a fatso. You taking exception to that and writing half a paragraph shows you're biased. Which is fair enough but you're reasonable enough usually, you can't tell me you're not seeing this lol

And yes **** football media, the bellends at press conferences should never even be called journalists. However he's genuinely the only one manager I've ever seen that made me side with them lol. Seen so many instances where they've asked him perfectly reasonable even courteous questions and he starts barking at them in his passive aggressive tone. You said yourself late 50s but he's giving it the biggun even talking about punching people in the nose

No he's not a role model in his behaviour. I remember reading about him back in the day when he was doing bits in Japan and I saw some similarities in him and Wenger even but ever since arriving in Europe he's been a prick let's be real.
