'The worst experience i've had as a football manager' - Ange Postecoglou on Tottenham vs Man City

Ange Postecoglou has described Tottenham's match with Manchester City on Tuesday night as "the worst experience I've had as a football manager" and said that he feared observers would question his integrity if Spurs lost heavily.

Ahead of the game, there was a big focus on how a Tottenham win would give their arch-rivals Arsenal the advantage in the Premier League title race over City going into the final weekend of the season.

Postecoglou scoffed at pre-match suggestions Spurs supporters would rather see their side lose to boost City's chances of beating Arsenal to the crown. But on the night there was a subdued atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with City's goals in their eventual 2-0 win even cheered by some Spurs fans. There were also chants from the Spurs supporters, when their team had fallen behind, taunting Arsenal.

As a great scholar once said: "It's the history of Tottenham"

[johnbonamigo]

His honesty is amazing, losing him as a manager would be awful

[bubblesthemonkey]

He’s an actual professional and competitor and doesn’t want to just lay down and take it. Love it.

[davidcoulson]

This guy is to good for that club, his honesty is a breath of fresh air… 👍

[Toracube]

That’s a leader. Tottenham don’t deserve him, no team that is happy being mid table every year does.

[Random__is__resistance]

Seriously wasting your time at that club

[philbinpar]

Any one who cheered City beating them is simply not a Spurs fan. They basically admitted that disliking Arsenal was more important to them than their own team being successful

[andrewwordsworth]

I truely wish Ange the very best and hope he goes on to great success in the EPL. Great bloke, great manager.

[Shreggs]

Everywhere he went, he won trophies. Standards at Tottenham are so low that this feels like a culture shock for Ange Postecoglou

[matteofurbatto]

Small team mentality even Jose didn’t win a trophy

[Zandersonsilva]

Couldn’t agree more. Small club mentality. When even Jose couldn’t win a trophy with them (and was sacked just before the final) it tells you everything about the club. They seem to be happy being mediocre.

[Azzo]

This guy is truly a breath of fresh air and Spurs are lucky to have him. Just a shame that they’re a club with failure sown deep into the fabric of their DNA and if there was any doubt at all about this opinion, the majority of their fans cemented this on Tuesday night by celebrating a loss and chanting about it 😂😂

[Bluestreakfire]

100% correct. i have respect for this man

[cjobi]

I'm honestly considering giving up being a Spurs fan it's a horrific experience. I'll just put all my energy and support into my family and friends.

[orinorio]

Those Spurs fans that cheered have really let the club down. Brought so much shame to the club. They could have just celebrated outside the club. On the way home but to do it inside the ground shows immature and silly they are.

[HappyCodingZX]

Spurs fans doing the Man City Posnan celebration is the most ironic thing to happen all season. Literally and figuratively turning their back on their team.

[omokaroelliot]

Antonio conte said the same thing about Tottenham

[TantersD]

Get him up to Old Trafford asap! The fans never give up there

[extricos]

Refreshingly honest, the problem is no one can change that club's mentality even Ange. It's the History of the Tottenham.

[goalski]

i never wanted him anywhere near that club and this is why. you cannot manage spurs and not damage your reputation.
