I really like Ange as I’m sure everybody else does but don’t say you’d never do something you’ve already [done](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64189294.amp)
Particularly if you’re going to tell other premier league managers how to act, you have to have clean hands to point fingers
He hasn’t really had any controversial decisions happen against him so this means nothing to me right now.
If he says the same thing after a refereeing howler against spurs then fair enough. But for now I’ll take it with a pinch of salt, as most managers are hypocritical.
Very odd that we’re hearing Ange say stuff about accepting ref decisions when his team wasn’t the one that got fucked over. The bad ref calls in yesterday’s match *benefited* his team. I like ange but I’ll be interested to hear his thoughts on this topic when Tottenham inevitably lose a match because of referee bullshit
F this guy…going to enjoy the spurs vibe train getting derailed. When they finish outside top 4, everyone is gonna wonder…but he brings such great vibes…
I’m getting quite bored of this insipid infantilisation of Ange. Everything he does is greeted with gooey eyes, like he’s a child. I imagine he probably would find most of it pathetic himself.
Hes sound. Shall we leave it at that.
As others have said, I’ll wait to see how he reacts to having a number of contentious decisions costing him points, rather than 10 games into his PL career.
And for all this chat about how he ‘treats referees right’, I’m still waiting on someone to explain how if that’s the case, he got a yellow card for “chasing the fourth official down the touchline”
Would like to think he wasn’t outside his technical area? We all know that’s the worst crime in the world
To be honest the officials were still bias towards spurs. Reckon Romero should have been sent off a lot earlier along with 3/4 other players. Very lucky it was only 2 players.
