Ange confirmed it happened when he was taking a shot in training:

You don’t give him any credit for wins, so it’s no surprise you blame him for this.

Er again you are taking things way too personally. I haven't blamed him for this if you read my post again. I said with the info I had I cannot rule out fatigue.

What's the deal with us and badgers? I've been on this site for over 10 years but this has gone over my head, must've missed the reason for not having the badger.

It started with the new badge and copyright issues. Someone at the club didn't like fan sites using it.

The simple answer is they are not dumb, but they are inexperienced in this league. They have seen their strategy work elsewhere so believed it would be ok here too eventually. But then things have just got worse and worse. Plus he doesn't like to play other systems. He would rather persist with his preferred system. We saw in midweek against Liverpool we were not successful when he tried to play differently.

Who’s “they”? Ange didn’t bring any coaches with him — much less physios and sport science people, as far as I know.

I don’t take anything about Ange personally. He’s not mate, never met the bloke. I just don’t think it’s fair that he gets all the blame for an injury crisis. One look around the league over the past couple of years shows you it’s not just him.

Ange has 30 odd years of managerial experience and a team of sports science people. They’ll get it wrong sometimes, but do you really think they all that dumb that they’ve just persisted like this for 3 months?

I mean we know they haven’t. We are absolutely not pressing as much as we used to, and lord knows you can’t train properly when you’re playing and travelling twice a week.

None of those people have worked with him before though have they?

If he's methods are so personalied then he should move with the staff that understand the demands of his style and can adapt to it. Instead he rocked up and hired all new staff.

I am starting to think there's a bit of arrogance in Ange's personality, (judging by the persona he projects in the media), where he believes his success elsewhere was solely down to him and his methods instead of taking a more holistic view of that success. Don't most managers bring in a team with them who they've worked with before?

Yep, that's his choice too. Probably something else he has been able to get away with in lesser leagues but at this level doesn't cut it.

Another thing I thought at time was innovative, now looks isolating.
 
About the badger.

I always thought it came from Gerry Francis and his hair cut. Someone once said he looked like a reject villain from an old episode of Batman, The Riddler, The Joker... The Badger.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I remember it, it became part of the OMT superstition to post the badgers dancing from the old viral badger song - and whenever we did we supposedly won. So then everything was about badgers for a while, and still is. But it's a long time ago, so I may remember wrong.

Got me thinking how old is this place? It was reset or moved servers or something back in 2012, but it existed long before that too. Like 2006 or something? Even older? Anyone know? @scaramanga ?

I think I've been a member of this site since 2006 so you may be correct. There was some kind of 'reset' around 2012.
