    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** Which you would expect from a manager that takes over a 4th place team. Good achievement though and should buy him some deserved breathing space from the press.

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** If you read Ledley King's autobiography it's clear that he rated and had a good relationship with every manager (particularly Jol) that we had. Apart from Ramos, who he thought was a massive cheese. He said him and Poyet were constantly on a...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** Original discussion was about this season no? Redknapp's last season we should have finished 3rd, would suggest we were potentially ahead a lot more than behind, could say the same in some games under AVB prior to this season. Always the danger of...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** But under HR we had the best record from points from a losing position, and this season when we equalised against Fulham that was the first time we have equalised when going behind this season? Hmm. I just think Bale was world class, in the same...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** Palace and Swansea come to mind, this season at least. I'm not really interested in who we create more chances under to be honest, I think it's easier to say 'we didn't create chances under HR' because it was a long time ago now and it's somewhat...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** I'm not really sure what makes you so confident seeing as we have the lowest percentage for shots inside the penalty area in the league, while scoring less goals inside the area than any other side (before Saturdays game)...? To me that reads...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** Ha, I get what you mean but it is a bit different to that! I agree and to be honest I think getting him involved at Burton would have been the best idea.

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** He resigned from Wolves didn't he? Maybe before he got pushed. Out of the game wouldn't worry me so much as he's still been pretty hands on (until recently he's been doing far more media work) at his Academy.

    Unbelievable. I've got tickets for the first two days of the Boxing Day Test and it's going to be a dead rubber.

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** Glenn Hoddle would need to sort his barnet out before I would even consider accepting him back.

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** Rafa said himself with quotes that AVB told him that Sigurdsson had the advantage over him and he wasn't 'The Man' anymore. I thought the breakdown of his marriage happened when he laid into his wife. I don't really know what an AVB player is...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** Right, but I'm just saying I don't think the stat really gives people a level playing field. I didn't even use the example of HR, I used Ramos, and I hated Ramos and never defend him to anyone.

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** He told Van der Vaart that Sigurdsson was ahead of him, that's enough to make anyone leave. And he had uber-Bale, someone which none of the other lot have had.

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** I really don't think those stats paint a fair picture at all, AVB took over a top 4 side, there's no point showing him in a list with other managers that took over teams at the bottom of the league (Ramos for example) and using his win percentage to...

    If all fit what is our best eleven...

    Like this. As much as I think Adebayor has made a rod for his own back, he is the striker that best suits our approach at the moment.

    AVB versus Martinez

    I always like Martinez as a football man and he was very well respected by fellow managers whenever they talked about him. I think he also doesn't get enough praise for laying the foundations at Swansea that Brent-an Rogers then worked with and took all the plaudits. I would have welcomed him at...

    ***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham

    I don't know why I keep heading back to Fulham, I don't particularly enjoy the ground and to be honest it's a rip off at nearly £50 for the match ticket. Having said that, the FA Cup game aside I haven't seen us lose there. I was separated from the group last night as I only qualified for a...

    The Cricket Thread

    Dropped catches aside, not a terrible day for England to be honest. Just hope that we don't rue them too much. Haddin/Clarke as a partnership is a dangerous one. Genuinely hope we don't lose this test, am heading out to Oz next week in time for the Boxing Day Test and would be gutted if it was...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: ***The Official AVB Discussion Thread*** I think the main reason is that Ferguson somewhat left United in the lurch by retiring, forcing them to make a decision into finding a replacement. This is, for them, a true season of transition. In our case, we made our own decision to sack the...

    OMT - TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Man U

    Absolutely agree, I think they have some very ordinary players in their side. One of the weakest United teams for years but a typical Moyes outfit in that they hustle and bustle and work hard for each other.
