Villas Boas (EX) Chelsea manager

[AnfieldForever]

It’s obvious that I was going to touch a nerve with some of you, and I expected a couple of replies similar to yours.

But our football was dire at times under him, I was glad we got shot of him. But you think otherwise, so I must be wrong.

[Shaggy]

Indeed, I guess 2 x La Ligas, European Cup, UEFA Cup, FA Cup, European Cup final and all the other trophies he's won were just flukes ....he's simply not as good as his CV suggests because Aled says so

[AnfieldForever]

I hope Rafa gets the Chelsea job, it's the only was some of you will actually move on and relise that's he's not as good as you think he is.

[baitman]

he is just making it easier for them to sack him, cop for his pay off and then get back to somewhere sunny.

[G]

He's right though.

Plastic cunts

[dom9]

Oops.

[Lee]

That'll go down well with the fans.

AVB bigging up the Chelsea faithful ahead of a big match tomorrow...

Chelsea went 86 games unbeaten at Stamford Bridge under Mourinho, Avram Grant and Luiz Felipe Scolari but Villas-Boas questioned whether Chelsea’s home ground had ever intimidated opponents.

“When you go to any away ground there is always an emotional strength coming from the fans from that ground,” he said. “I don’t think there is a fear factor at the Bridge. I don’t know if there ever was a fear factor at the Bridge to be fair. There is a fear factor at a couple of grounds in this country.”

Villas-Boas then cited Old Trafford and Anfield as such places.

Jeez, SSN are really going to town on him. He must feel like he's being questioned in court everytime he has a PC with these bellends.

Yep, he's their new Rafa. They're utterly vile.

No doubt Geoff Shreeves is at the front of the queue the smug cunt.

they're ****ing animals. let the man get on with his job whilst he's still in. avb looks like he wants to thump every reporter that asks him a question.

Don't think Spurs and Rafa would be a good fit - they're thriving on Harry's "no tactics" and arm around the shoulder method, the polar opposite of Rafa. Think the players there are quite dim and wouldn't take to Rafa's micro-management.

I think players like Modric and even VDV would thrive even more under Rafa

I don't see rafa going to chelsea, with the amount of managers he has gone through in a short period of time,Roman would interfere too much for it to work.
Would rafa be happy with the owner buying a player that he (Roman) wants?
