'Vindictive' Andé

I can't stand Langley as a pundit anyway. He talks so much shit, most of which is just unintelligible mumblings anyway.

He has such an annoying voice, too. Completely unsuitable for commentary. I cringe every time I hear him celebrate a goal.

Warnie please go have a cold shower and read again what you have written.

If thru, another point to dislike this kiddo.

Are you kidding? Are you honestly calling AVB a twat because of an article in dailymail? He is a master when it comes to interviews, and he always says that media has it wrong, which it does. Just like the thing about the bench and staff cheering with goals. You have no idea what went on there. And I can't remember how many times Mourinho has actually acted like a ten year old, but he's still one of the top3 gaffers in the world. Why? Because he is the boss. If AVB is anything like that, then that's nothing but good news.

Right and wrong. He looks like he is copying his master, but he is defently not in his league. Mourinho gets away with it by playing with the media. AVB acts like a little kid who just got his lollipop taken from him.

Credit where its due. Good on him. But now he is amongst the big boys. Winning Europa Cup doesnt command respect. Winning Champions League or a Premier League title does.

Come on Warnie, you sound like Graham Souness now.

André was the most sought out young manager in the world! Liverpool, Roma & Inter were all scouting him and making an approach before we got in, that says a lot about his quality. He didn't just win the Europa & Portuguese league in a dull 1-0-each game kind of way. He did with an attacking flare, a style that made Porto fans very happy to watch.. A big change from their old regime. I know this, because one of my co-workers was a huge Porto fan.. He was very angry when André left.

In my opinion people are missing the point . AVB dislikes the stupid articles written by the press and the complete nonsense spoken on tv about games/players. So do i, so do you, i have tons of respect for him giving them a bit of abuse back. Hes well within his rights. Talk about you need to keep press on side etc is bullshit. They should respect people trying to do there job and report fairly and i wish more managers would stick up for themselves. Like him or not wenger has advanced english football and brought one of the best teaams in the invincibles ive ever seen, i know someone whos had to work with him as an agent and said hes a great bloke and just loves football, hes stayed loyal to arsenal and at quite a few stages in recent years has been ridiculed and treated like shit by some prick with a microphone. I find it so distasteful. Criticism is fine if justified but like luiz and avb there almost being ridiculed by people whos salary we pay to give us an insight or tactical analysis on the game. If were finally decided we need to keep these people sweet not tell them what we think of them then society really is on its arse.

Without getting into this too much my personal opinion is that avbs fantasy at the media do make me cringe at times, altho sometimes he is spot on. Just need to get on with it

I cant beleive how hypocrite some of us are here. We made all sort of jokes and laughed our asses off when Man UTD and Man City were demoted to EUROPA league. Yet, when it comes to AVB, winning Europa league is a huge acheivement. Like I said it is a good acheivement but sadly doesnt command much respect.

He may be the most sought after young manager in the world but he has ALOT to prove amongst the big boys. He is no more playing against the mid table teams of Europe. He is playing against the big boys and so far his performances have been open to criticism. To say that Mou did it so why not AVB is just stupid.

RZA: I know he is a good manager. I dont take anything away from him. But he hasnt exactly set the league alight like Mou did. So my problem with him is he should SHUT IT and get on with the job instead of trying to give shit back to media.

That's because Utd are one of the biggest clubs in the world and it's embarrassing for them to be playing in the Europa League. City the same because of the amount of money they spent. It's not the same for Porto.
