AVB

It will be Dempsey & Defoe I think Bales!

Dempsey

No complaints about AVB at all for me today, after a couple of games where he's had me really scratching my head.

I think siggy offers a lot more than Dempsey personally (and that's saying something becuse Siggy offers precious little right now!) but it's AVB's call and if on the basis of training etc he goes for experience over potential I can't really fault that, especially with (on paper) Dempsey's greater goal threat.

The only thing that really pished me off was Bale all smiles, laughs and jokes with an Arsenal player just after the final whistle

I feel for AVB. The Chelsea players completely let him down and never gave an effort for him.

Hes obviously a very talented manager. But the media always seem to be on his tail looking for him to mess up. Why is that?

And again, hes been unlucky regarding results i think. But hopefully Spurs keep him on board. Im sure he will come good.

I truly think the press consider him as being some sort of foreign posh boy, whos 'too clever by half', and as the class war still being alive and kicking in this country, that counts against him.
Whereas managers like Rodgers, Harry and even Mark Hughes are considered the salt of the earth, despite similar f.ups!

I'm not his biggest fan...I'll openly admit...

But I do feel for the guy...if it can go wrong...it will....

And the media are hunting him down like a pack of wolves.....

He actually agreed on the BBC that the was correct, and has nothing but praise for the way the team played. Its good to hear our manager doing a Fergie. No criticism in public regardless of the result.
