Thought Nameless would get tired at some point. That went on for well over 3 years Lonely lad

I'm part of a few other forums but I post on this one more than the rest of them.

This is the only forum I belong to, apart from suckernet of course. Wouldn't want to risk spreading my quality too thin

Haha. Fair enough.

Fatman Shane Long fanboyism strikes again

I must say i was quite disapointed this morning when i woke up and saw neither of youo had posted in that thread

as far as the GS goes, tread with caution, theres a huge range of quality and in particular intelligence among the regular posters there

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has admitted he made mistakes at Chelsea and that they were right to dismiss him after less than nine months in charge.

The London club were fifth in the Premier League and had lost their Champions League last-16 first leg 3-1 at Napoli when they sacked the Portuguese before going on to win the European Cup for the first time under caretaker coach Roberto Di Matteo.

"I think they could have give me the opportunity to continue. But I am fully aware that changing (the manager) was the only way to make an immediate impact on the results," Villas-Boas told France Football magazine on Tuesday.
"What we have been doing at Tottenham with my staff is a reaction to the mistakes we made at Chelsea," the 35-year-old coach added.
"We did not make everything wrong there but we could have done better ... (The sacking) did not change the way I see football but I recognise that I have thought a lot about it."

Took him long enough to realise that, didn't it? He's still a mug for the comments he made over the summer.

Regardless of what he said, surely he will have known deep down that he fecked up royally. I refuse to believe anyone as smart as he [clearly] is could be delusional and blind enough not to. Beyond his utterly woeful man-management, media tirades, and referee conspiracies, his decisions and tactical prowess were extremely suspect throughout; it truly appeared sometimes like he quite literally pulled Starting XI's out of a hat, and the majority of his substitutions were downright weird.
It's a wonder he's decided to change things up since!

Forgive me CFC, for I have sinned.

I haven't watched a Chelsea match proper since I moved to Australia. It was never my intention to stray from the path of the Lion but circumstances forced me to. All I ask for is your time and understanding till I get a better internet connection.

Back

I don't see anything wrong with his comments now or over the summer.

He was promised a long term project with his side-kick and buddy Abra. The ride got a bit bumpy and at that point Abra left him on the side of the road to die. I would be disappointed with my bumpy driving, and maybe understand that he needed a more smooth driver, but hell I'd be bitter anyway. Especially when you have an ego the size of AVB's.

I'm biased but I think you should understand he would be bitter. That being said I hardly remember his comments in the summer, perhaps they were worse than I remember, but I doubt it.

Nah was just away for 3 weeks. Watched a few of our matches, really don't get it though as we're either playing really well or just shockingly. Sometimes both in the same game.

Of course the AVB apologist backs him up

The Sun, The Telegraph, Press Association, BBC and Sky Sports all saying Ash Cole either has agreed or is close to agreeing a new deal at Chelsea.

Your opinion is yours. I've got little conflict with what happened at Chelsea because without it we wouldn't have one of the best managers in the league at Tottenham. And of course I'll back him up lol
