You can correct me if I am wrong and I have no intention of trawling through old posts on football but I have you as a Rangers fan.
Zero problem with that but I don't think your views on Celtic are particularly balanced in much the same way as mine would likely have a bias against Rangers despite thinking I was being balanced.
My opinion on Spurs appointing the Celtic manager has nothing to do with being pro or anti Celtic or pro or anti Rangers but you really need to take your blinkers off and be a bit more objective regarding this.
Celtic are in a league where there are really only 2 winners and for the past decade or more only one with Rangers out the picture so winning the SPL is hardly a major accomplishment. Ange came in while Rangers lost their manager and the following season lost several players in sales then lost a second manger. I said in a previous post you really need to look at how Celtic played against any decent opposition in Europe and under Ange they have been dreadful. This is a team that were knocked out of 3 competitions in Europe in one season. This season Rangers only beat them to the worst results in Europe by a couple of points that really doesnt bode well for a manager coming into the premier league trying to turn around a squad, bring in players and try and compete with the likes of City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U, Newcastle for a top four finish not to mention those teams just outside that who will all be looking for a European place.
I said in a previous post Gerard should never have left Rangers if he had any hope of competing in England he should have stayed a few years up there won consecutive trophies up there and made Rangers a respectable team in Europe (But apparently I am anti Celtic!) Ange has won in a league thats not even championship standard and is now going to a team that were in the champions league final a few years back.
If he does well then fair enough but how Spurs are going at the moment reminds me of Liverpool under the 2 American owners.
I have no idea whether Ange will be successful at Spurs or not as it's a big step up playing in the premiership as opposed to Scotland.
What I do know is that Celtic were a shambles when he took over 2 summers ago and had lost half their team.
Rangers were settled under Gerrard(they hadn't lost their manager as you said ) and had won the league by a country mile the previous season.
Ange brought in a few of his own players and installed an ethos into the squad that everyone bought into including a very sceptical fan base after the Eddie Howe deal fell through.
What I can say is that I don't see him as any lesser a managerial talent than say Brendan Rodgers and if he is considered good enough to be in the frame then I don't see why not Postecoglou.
It would be fair to say Rodgers results with Celtic in Europe weren't setting the heather alight either.
Regards competition in Scotland it's not really Celtic's fault that Rangers haven't managed to drum up a decent challenge in 6 of the last 7 years and yeh the standard of the remaining teams is particularly poor and definitely hinders Celtic and Rangers when they need to step up to better opposition.
I think what may determine whether he is successful or not at Spurs should it happen will be if he can get the big egos on board with his philosophy and playing style.If he gets them to buy in then he's got a chance but if not then it will be a short reign.
We shall see.
I had actually been backing West Ham before this game but they have been utterly awful, if they win this the better team lost.
I thought there must be Chelsea supporters in the West Ham end
Agree, pathetic behaviour.
Declan Rice doesn’t look top 4 material tonight.
Antonio is really poor. Not just tonight, in general. Really poor striker who doesn’t get anywhere near enough goals. Big dosser.
Not quite premier league news but Gerrard has apparently been linked with all three of the recently relegated clubs and is supposed to be in advanced talks with at least one of them.
Would like to see him given another chance, dont think he is premier league level yet but the challenge of the championship would be good for him.
