Gut feeling: knew it was coming.
First reaction: Disappointed
Now: Warming to the idea
Was sorry how this all panned out but Nuno created an untenable situation, West Ham was a disaster, and the end of season run was awful too.
We have an amazing squad, a strong defence, and an attack-minded manager who won the Europa League and has (hopefully) learnt a few lessons along the way.
May as well be optimistic, being a football fan is hard enough as it is.

Who else is part of Ange's set up then? I'm presuming that the rest of Nuno's staff will be leaving as well.

Cheers - So a couple of big appointments to make then.
Wonder if he'll go for someone from within the club as his assistant? Andy Reid perhaps?

FFS - was hoping this would not happen and it was a smoke screen. We are a laughing stock.

Oh give it a rest.
How about at least letting the guy manage some matches before throwing the toys out of the pram?
If it all goes tits up then say whatever nonsense about being a laughing stock. Until then try actually backing the bloke.

I'm getting Stuart Pearce vibes, entertaining in attack but dire in defence.

Ah f**k.
I originally was s little worried about Cooper when he took over from Hughton. I was massively wrong.
I originally wasn't enamoured with the appointment of Nuno but I was massively wrong.
Ange? Well he likes attacking football and cannot defend for toffee, so I guess it will be the second coming of Keegan ball from Newcastle. Entertaining and frustrating at the same time. Is he in charge for the Arsenal game? Bloody hell are we going all out gonzo?
Zinchenko cannot play against his parent club so we are down on defenders already.
Err the January transfer window is going to be insane isn't it?
I wonder if Nuno heard that Ange had input to the transfers this summer and that's what sparked his mardy? I guess we will never know.
I am going to be like a chimp in front of the television with my fingers over my eyes half the time but hopefully we are pleasantly surprised. i knew it was going to end badly when we f****d it against Leicester last season.
Now watch us spank Arsenal at the Emirates in an epic performance...
Chicago: Dizzy.
