Yes Ange was right - he's seriously trying to build something and he's trying to do it differently to dismissive and explosive ways that previous mangers ranted about. He wants to change the mindset of glorifying others failures and clinging onto that and instead actually focus in-house in creating a new winning mindset that couldn't give a flying pig about what others do or don't achieve whether they are neighbouring rivals

Spurs still have European football to play for with Newcastle, Chelsea and Man Utd (No sniggering at the back) right behind them - now with two games to go for the likes of Newcastle, Chelsea, UTD. There is possibility that because the mindset is so weak around Spurs that they'd rather Arsenal not win the league this season... it could come at the cost of no growth and progression for next season because Spurs lose out on finishing in a spot to get European football.

I think that Ange’s pre match comments inform his view about the north London rivalry more than his post match. He was asked about bragging rights between Arsenal and Tottenham, and his response was that if you look through the halls at Hotspur lane, there are no historic photos from the past 15 years. Arsenal would have photos from the same period of time. So what bragging rights do you REALLY have over your rivals if you are only considering 2 or 3 games worth of “bragging rights” instead of a seasons worth of success?

Remember when Thierry Henry was baffled by the Spurs players celebrating and getting in his face because they managed a draw against Arsenal, even though it wasn’t enough to stop them winning the league. Henry was like, “you’re seriously celebrating a draw?- we’ve just won the title at your stadium’”

Arsenal fans literally would have done the exact same thing. I hate to burst your bubble but those teams won more because they had better players, had better managers & had more money to invest with each team having different degrees of each. By this logic the Liverpool fans were the biggest hurdle to them winning the premier league for Liverpool in the last 30 years, because they only managed to win the year when no fans were allowed in the stadium.

Signs of a Good Pod: When James does an impression, particularly one with an accent. The first one I liked was a deep impression of Roy Keane. The one that I kept watching over and over was a conversation between David Moyes and Wilfried Zaha over whether the latter "bummed" the former's daughter.

Villa fan here. I couldn't imagine us ever being in the position that Spurs were in on Tuesday, but with Birmingham. But maybe that's the point. It's only the lesser half of any rivalry that ever has to worry about things like that. The better half would be able to sit easier, knowing it will always come back to them. Additionally, and not insignificantly, how can ANYBODY say that they want more numbers from Ollie Watkins? He's scored 19 goals this season and he's the league's assist leader. For his position, there are no other numbers that matter, and they don't get much better than that. Extremely poor take, James.

Arsenal fan here, Spurs played well and did better than I expected so I’ve no issues there and wouldn’t ever claim they threw the game based on that performance and certainly think there’s a large portion of our fans who aren’t online twitter idiots who feel this way also. Do agree with Flav on the excessive celebrations from certain spurs fans in the stadium and online being over the top and somewhat disrespectful towards Ange. Can see where his anger has come from especially seeing some of the reporting from the athletic around some of the spurs coaching staff making jokes around losing the game in the buildup

Ange set a puzzle in the last press conference, and the commentators and podders have not figured it out - have not figured Ange out basically. The Arsenal winning the league via spurs issue is a red herring, must have been an annoyance to Ange, but was not the meat and potatoes. The answers to the puzzle are all there in the last few press conferences! The fragility Ange spoke of, is everyone wetting the bed after a few loses, in the context of trying to build a winning team. He spoke in the presser before last, of fans, players and staff not getting it. This presser, in the puzzle he set, he mentioned fans, players, staff, everyone. He wasn't calling the club out, he wasn't having a go, he was upset, said he had misread the situation and will adapt his approach. Against City, he changed it up, after saying he would die on a hill. Well, changing it up is not how Ange believes you build for the future. Pep says Spurs will click in time. Maybe Pep is more insightful that the commentators lol. An Ange team should be like a pinball machine, with plenty of chances and goals. He doesn't want to just dominate, he wants to decimate teams. Ange doesn't see that VDV playing at left back will turn him into the best centre back in the world. Ange doesn't see that, when Spurs lose a left back, that the rest of the team will learn the system, when there is no inverted full back. And learn to pl;ay the system against all challenges. Ange sees that to learn and master a system, you have to play it against the best, and learn from what goes wrong. He always has had that belief, it has always served him well. When Celtic played in the Champions League, and lost, the Celtic fans got it, the team has to have a go to grow. That is what he means by putting long term success ahead of short term gains. That is what he means by saying there are no bragging rights on the walls in the club's hallways. Sounds like staff and players lost confidence when the going got a bit tough.

Based on the logic spurs fans are using at the moment, does that mean you'll want to lose to city and liverpool every season? Because any points taken from those top teams could contribute to Arsenal winning the league.

My “one must beware hubris but didn’t and should have” moment came at the beginning of Arsenal’s title run in demise in 2022-2023. The whole season telling myself, and anyone that would listen that there’s no chance we would win the league… even at times I might have thought it, but never ever would I mutter the words out loud. Until… April 2023… Anfield. Martinelli opens the scoring. Brilliant I thought, but still not allowing the words to come out of my mouth. Then Gabriel Jesus’s header puts us 2-0 up away at Anfield in April… “OH MY GOD WE’RE GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE” I exclaimed… the words left me before I knew what was happening. Next thing I knew, Xhaka tried to fight the whole of Anfield we throw away the 2 goal lead, we crumble for the rest of the season meaning we go the season without a trophy, giving Man City the treble and leaving me with an unwavering sense of heavy, terrible responsibility that I, ruined that season for all Arsenal fans across the world. One. Must. Beware. Hubris.

I’m an Arsenal fan and this is my current take on the Ange comments: Villa go to Palace on the final day, and Spurs play Sheff U. They had a huge chance of getting CL football next season if (big if) they beat City. That could of accelerated their rebuild in terms of quality and amount of players they could bring in, which in time would put them in a situation to win a title themselves. If Arsenal won the league this year and Spurs win it in 2 years time would Flav actually care about this game and how it gave Arsenal an edge to win the title but the CL money improved them to win it themselves? I think that’s what Ange felt aggrieved about, how little their own path was discussed compared to Arsenal’s. If the rivalry was seen as the side dish I think he would of been fine, he knows what a rivalry is btw he was a Celtic coach. However he also knows what the culture needs to be, at no point did United fans celebrate or not support their team when we played them at OT, cause your rivals winning a title should never be the be all and end all if you have serious ambitions to win titles yourselves. Arsenal not winning the league should of been seen as a consolation prize rather than the prize itself in my opinion.

Flav drinking out of 2 Costa cups is a power move, when does it stop Flav? 3?4? 5000!?!?

So many people have grown up with this rivarly being such a significant part of their lives. It has substantial value. Ange basically said that preventing Arsenal from winning the league isnt a trophy, and therefore deemed it worthless. He then proceeds to claim he understands rivarly. I get that Ange and the players might have had a different outlook on the game, however his complete inability to see where some fans are coming from really suprised me.

He has managed celtic. If anything, he understands football rivalry more than spurs fans. It seems like his disappointment with the club and fans during the presser is from the fact that the fans actually cheered city in the stadium and asked him to tank the game. Something he prolly has never experienced before.

"So many people have grown up with this rivarly being such a significant part of their lives. " if the rivalry translates into wanting their team to lose then they should seek mental health advice.

The more i think about it. It's less of obsessing about Arsenal but it's the fact the fans have given up on this team. Like that's partly on Ange and the team cos of their form. If u can't believe them catching Villa this year what's to say they can do anything next year or the year after? It will get harder each year u are out of the champions league. Piled on to of that having your fans celebrate u losing ain't gonna have a positive effect on you performance wise.

Marc Cucurella’s hair can be completely erased in your mind’s eye. Take any picture of him from the internet and it’s actually super easy to just imagine his little head bobbing about without all that gigantic hair. He’s the most short-back-and-sides-looking luscious locked lad in the land.

Lads, got an update in regard to the back to back quarter pounders. My mate it willing to take on the challenge. We now have another dispute though, I said we should buy the burgers two at a time and do it in the maccies car park, so if he can't get through the 6th one for example, we haven't wasted our money. He thinks we should buy all 10 in one go, he is confident he can do it, plus he thinks if he eats them really quick he will be able to "trick his stomach" and he won't realise he is too full for another one. Let us know how we should tackle it and we will get it done

i dont think anyone would understand what spurs fans went though. In my eyes celebrating your team losing is insane but until i'm in that position ill never understand, but as an Arsenal fan from what i saw that game spurs dont have what it takes to win anything so ill never experience that. (the are you watching Arsenal chants were grudgingly really clever and i would have joined in if i was in there shoes) Celebrating so much you cause a 3rd born winner manager to consider quitting is the most extremely damning thing i've ever heard out of any club. Tottenham are an extremely damaged club i understand the value of rivalry the best memory's of Arsenal's worst era were always beating Spurs. Spurs are deep within over 50 years of pain, so i get why the rivalry means so much but the level of damage to the ability to win is staggering. Spurs had a chance at CL football, a chance to progress, a chance to improve, a chance to make steps to winning and they choose to celebrate losing instead of rueing the chances lost. We all learnt alot about Tottenham this week and none of it is good, the at least Arsenal cant win should be the silver lining of a bad situation not the true prize.

Liverpool were in this situation in 95, playing Blackburn last game of the season and they were going for the title agaisnt United. Tbf to us we didnt shy away, we actually beat Blackburn but thankfully United slipped up agasint West Ham i believe. But beyond all that, I still cant get over the league letting City win 4 in a row. How is that good for the league especially when we all know the dodgy way they have gotten there. Also regarding 37:40 when we drew to West Brom Klopp and Liverpool had the piss taken out of them for the team cheering the fans that stayed and stuck with the team after Klopp had asked the fans to stay and change their attitude at the end of games. So Ange is obviously trying to do what Klopp did at the start.

I get what Flav is saying totally, but we’re going to get into a really weird scenario one year if the fixture list comes out and Spurs are playing a contender to Arsenal for the league on the last game of the season and we’re all wondering if the fans are going to make it an easier 3 points for them

Ange's point is so clear and irrefutible. When he joins Spurs there is an unwritten agreement between him and the fans that he will do his best to win and as long as they see his work they will back him. He has held up his side of the bargain and he feels betrayed by his own fans wanting him to lose. 'He doesn't understand the Arsenal - Spurs rivalry' is an embarrasment of a position - it's more like Spurs fans don't understand winning.

Context is important.. i get the rivalry thing but there was something to play for .. if there was nothing on the line for your own club then fair enough

20 year Spurs fan. Whilst Flav is trying to explain, JLA from 21:57-26:24 is BRILLIANT. Flav with no response. I'm Aussie, and putting Aussie mentality aside because here everyone is Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea or United, you're a lone ranger as a Spurs fan. Do Spurs fans really think we are absolved of banter and ridicule because of the result? It's WORSE! Do you think Arsenal won't be challenging again next season? What if the situation happens again? What game will we want to lose then? Pathetic from those fans. Flav said himself post game the jubliance wasn't there. We want to be bantering Arsenal from a position of STRENGTH, not carrying on like cowards in their shadow. Ange, please stay, you had to call out the fans and the only way we grow to a superior winning mentality is to drop this weakness.

Us and United fans a couple seasons ago needed to beat City to get champions league but beating them meant Liverpool won the league. We were in a awful situation

I find football is actually so much more enjoyable when you can focus on your own team, instead of looking at other teams. We can't affect anything as fans (except maybe if in the stadium), so having only one team that has some control over your emotions is freeing.

Personally… there should never be a time where you want your club to loose . Flav’s honesty is scary because he’s literally saying his obsessed with Arsenal. I can’t even mention our rivals in chats without being told I’m “obsessed” so to sit there and say “actually yeah , yeah I am” blows my mind 🤯 Fans don’t have the final say into who win a game of football so just support them through hell and high water

As we’ve seen with Ange and Kyra Cooney-Cross this week, it’s hard for Australians to understand the depth of hatred in the North London rivalry. I’m an Australian Arsenal fan of over 30 years and have lived a couple of years in London. I understand and get the rivalry but I’ll never truly feel it. We’re just not wired that way. Actual hatred should be based on genuine reason. For us, a true rivalry is based on some level of mutual respect and at the end of the day, despite the intensity, when all is said and done you should be able to have a beer with your rivals (eg the Ashes) because we know it’s just sport.

Shake hands b4 the beers always 👍 Totally agree

I think this type of game happens more often than flav is saying. Its not just 1 game it will happen again soon maybe not next year but in the following year it will happen.

Ange not understanding the rivalry is a bit stupid. but hes right in that he should want to win and want his players to want to win, but he should be abel to accept the conundrum and paradox of this one game in particular. And as people have said, should have won the previous 4 games if you "always want to win".... I said this before the game, that if it was me (aston villa fan) I would feel the same wanting my team to lose, if a win hands my rival the title. With a very slim chance to get UCL, to hand a huge rival the title and still most likely not get 4th would be painful. It would be a totaly different story if we are already 4th or are level on points etc. HOWEVER i would want and expect my players and manager to want to win and try to win. I would only be happy to lose by being beaten while my team tried to win, no WAY on this earth would i want my team to lose on purpose... I suppose i would want to be beaten, rather than want to lose. its not entirely the same thing.

Wish the pod was longer 😂

my 'beware hubris early' moment this season was absolutely Plymouth away with the mighty rangers. went 1-0 up after a hard fought game, with many typical rangers moments, but the ultimate typical rangers moment was yet to come. as the away end rocked with 'we are the rangers, the mighty rangers, we're gonna win awayyyyyyy' for the last 10 minutes, those green, inbred farmers levelled, silencing a packed out away end. humbling. should've known better at my big age.

As a Liverpool fan I will proudly proclaim that we don't need anyones help to lose a title!

Its so easy for fans of other clubs to say they wouldn't want their team to lose in this situation. But until you experience what its like to be in that situation, the weird atmosphere surrounding the club and the uneasyness of being a fan and the fact that your team winning isn't the best emotional outcome for you, then you just can't comprehend it and shouldn't mock spurs fans for their attitude in this impossible situation

No point trying to have a reasonable nuanced opinion on this, fans just want to call us plastic and make jokes for some light entertainment, they don’t understand what it means

this losing to spite Arsenal rant is ridiculous. you first have to accept the premise that Spurs actually did have the ability to win the game if they wanted to. against a team that hasn't lost in 2024. against a team that makes a habit of closing out the title race at this time of year. Spurs were never going to win. Spurs fans thinking the choice to win or lose was in their hands is absurd. Arsenal fans rooting for Spurs to throw them a bone is equally absurd.

7 ISN'T as bad as 6 or 8. You're so right Jim.

Forget rivalries. A win is more important, irrespective of what happens elsewhere.

We had 2 chances to stop Arsenal this season, and we didn't.

As an Arsenal fan, I have no issue with Spurs fans having a preference to losing. I think Flav was 99% on point I just think it's because embarrassing when you're shouting at your manager, doing the poznan, singing along with City fans...

Tottenham didnt lie down though. They put their best 11 out there and gave them a really good game. Pre-game Votes said that 80% of fans wanted to win vs City. You’re always going to have some outliers in such a difficult situation, regardless of which team you are talking about. (Arsenal faced similar fan polarity with tons of fans being willing to lose the europa league final if it meant Tottenham didnt win the cl one)

Not having that take from Flav. Man United fan here and Liverpool could beat us twice a year every season if it means we 're successful. Matching going reds will always have a mentality of 'We're Man United.. who are you?'. I want us to win and I don't care what anyone else does before that. When we came back from 2-0 down at the Etihad to win 3-2, no one cares about it because we didn't win anything. Ange clearly has the same mentality and wants to drag the spurs fans kicking and screaming

Tottenham fans are pathetic wanting their team to lose when champions league and the future trajectory of the club are at stake. Small club mentality, small trophy cupboard

Flax is so incredibly wrong imo regarding the fans wanting spurs to lose. It is so fragile and petty to hate a different team more than you love your own. You can't go into a match wanting to lose, regardless of the circumstances. That is not the mentality you want to have if you want to win, and you're only making yourself look so much worse. If it's such a big deal, Spurs should always want lose the games they play against the other title challengers.

He says it’s “one game” but listen to him on the Overlap. He literally tries to mock Arsenal before he even starts talking about Spurs. Arsenal define Spurs’ entire outlook on football. It’s really quite sad

Of course he was right , but shallow fans are one thing what was more concerning is that he said inside the club as well which suggests to me he has to get rid of some staff that may have had the same mentallity of those fans who have no backbone because they cannot stand the idea of having to put up with rivals bragging. Then they try and justify cheering a loss. We all knew that there was a win win game in that if we lost the game there was a little bonus to cheer us up , but to cheer a defeat its admitting the bragging will get to you , honestly its like voluntarily walking into their shadow.

I get Ange's perspective and also know he cant side with the fans for the sake of his job, I understand completely where Flav is coming from, and I understand James. I just think James' point is if Spurs could win the league but it meant Arsenal with the Champions League, would you take that deal?

I like it when James has a guest

The difference is West Ham fans know what club they are. They know that a bad season results in relegation but a good season means Europe. Tottenham fans believe that they are a top 6 team but have the mentality of a mid table club. It's understandable to think maybe it's okay for your team to lose because otherwise it hands your rivals the title but it's embarrassing to celebrate it. That's the issue. You can't be thinking you're a big club and simultaneously celebrating missing out on the biggest European competition because your rivals might not win

Flav is in denial. James was right he was having a pop at the fans and it was about having a must win whatever mentality. The City game showed Ange can adapt and he has the right attitude but the culture at the club is holding Tottenham back and the fans need to accept they are a part of that. Id be interested to see Ange at a club like United who have ambition and see if he could pull them back from the brink.

The mentally of these man is certified deluded the same group of fans when they were top of the league were Saying they could win the league then fans were celebrating yesterday when city scored .. get in the 🗑️mentality.. sad club feel for the fans who want to win ..

In response to Flav’s comment about Chelsea and Leicester: Chelsea still had to play Leicester on the last day and said they would roll over to prevent Spurs winning

10:17 😭😂💀😂😂 that Poznan was hilarious I never knew how deep this hatred went

Saying Spurs is not as trophy laden as some other teams is like saying “water is wet”. When did they last win a meaningful trophy?

It's really quite simple. Tottenham have to find happiness in helping stop Arsenal's title hopes by losing to Man City. They don't believe in their own team's ability to actually win the match which benefits their own club's ability to qualify for CL, so they are content to lose and frame it in their minds as a victory. They have yet to recognize that trying to win and coming up short is NOT the same as losing because you simply lack the mentality required to win. It's the undeniable reason why being "Spursy" has become an eponym for failing to succeed and its a just reward that it will remain their club's legacy.

As a Liverpool fan, I wouldnt want Liverpool to throw to stop Everton winning a league. I have Everton fan friends who deserve the joy of it after so many years and want the City of Liverpool to succeed more generally... Not sure if i'm in a minority but I think most Liverpool fans would agree with me.

I think thay Ange was met with the ideology clash. I think any Arsenal fan in spurs position would not want their rivals to win a title. If that means losing 1 game so be it... but. I feel like Arsenal fans would just say well we will go again. And secondly i think the hard part within the spurs fanbase is the celebration of the loss. All fans wanted, but they cant celebrate it. That must suck.

If the situation was reversed I think it would be different because Top 4 and CL qualification was still in play. If we were lower down the table it probably would have been the same.

1:05:02 I called Aston Villa top 4! Although I think the brilliance of my prediction is somewhat overshadowed by the fact I also had United finishing in 3rd, 2 places above Liverpool 🥲

of course he was right. Spurs at their core are a team that disappoints. They are good enough to watch, but not good enough to have that killer mentality and truly stake a claim at the top. they are in and around the top 4, but they don't have it in them to actually go further. the supporter's group had the audacity to offer an EXPLANATION of the north london rivalry to ange, the guy that's been part of the old firm derby

Ngl this shows what a crazy job Klopp has done. Not easy changing a whole club

We wouldn’t even be having this conversation if we took all 6 points from arsenal when we played them

I’m sorry flaw but the statement that in Sweden it’s new winners every year is very wrong as Malmö FF has won 3 out of the last 4 seasons. We will also win these year and is in a far better state than any other team financially which gives us a big possibility to build a dynasty

Bit random, but there was one person really didn't want Son to score that goal, and that was Ortega. I thought Postecoglu's outburst was not very grown up. Just give up on these giant ego managers you seem to like, Spurs, and find someone who not only wants to win, but also knows how to win, without the tantrums. Neither Guardola or Arteta are giant ego managers, you don't need it, give it up.

Flav will be furious when he watches the presser. He absolutely dug the fans out. No question

i'd be all in on ange as a spurs fan, i was dying for us too get him last year, also flav was on loop for 40 minutes just saying the same thing different ways almost impressive as it was repetitive

Arsenal would've had the FOREVER present asterisk of only winning the league because Tottenham showed mercy on their not-good-enough plight against City. Any banter from them would have to acknowledge they could only win with the help of lil ol' Tottenham. But hey, I'm not a real fan, so what do i know. 🥲
