The boo boys should be named and shamed, I felt sick hearing about the booing, jeering and groaning!

Getting behind the team is the one and only thing we should be doing, we've lost one game and that was due to some bad defending,

We haven't looked that bad,

I disagree. He does not need any time to take you down. He'll do it pretty quick. You watch.

Rangers fan in peace.....what has AVB ever done to deserve being coach of a EPL club ? Sure, he won the league and UEFA cup with Porto but they have continued to do well under his ex assisant, so was AVB the brains or not ?

That booing is a joke and makes me ashamed to be a Spurs fan. To be lumped in with a bunch of reetards like that is embarrassing.

With regards to giving AVB time, of course yeah before the season stared most people said they expect us to drop back a little bit in order to build new foundations on whats hopefully the start of AVBs long stay with us. 3 games in theres panic and booing. Complete joke.

And these guys call other fans plastics???

Meu he didn't just win cups with Porto, he smashed the league. Went unbeaten, won the league with a month to go, won the treble, when the previous season they don't get a CL place. Plus season before he took Academica from a relegation side candidate to comfortably in midtable within a few months.

he needs time i agree but has to cut out the negative crap at home games.. i dont want to see us playing two holding players against teams that lost 5-0 the week before

Not bad players to have

we spent less than we brought in through player sales

brum v villa will be back alive next season down in the championship

posted on 3/9/12

We didnt spend any, we made about 15 million profit

Hulk was average before that season and AVB brought in Falcao. Credit to him

posted on 3/9/12

I don't give a flying duck about your profit

Next question from me, How much did you spend to employ "We want him OUT already" AVB?

posted on 3/9/12

we got him for free you dimwit

Sorry Falcao was there before AVB

posted on 3/9/12

How much you paying him to send you down then?

Blue Kenyan......nah ! I live in Portugal and the season he won the league was a season of transition for Benfica. Academica were never in danger of relegation. The locals are astonished that having failed so spectacularly at Chelsea he'sa got a second chance at Spurs. I hope he does well for Spurs' sake.

Im sorry but your wrong
when he won the title with porto it was with Falcao & hulk

he took over a team in poor general form

======================

He took over a damn sight better team/squad than what Norwich &/or West Brom have.




He needs to be given some time without the fans on his back.

=========================

No he doesn't. He took on this job & we shouldn't start feeling sorry for him through pity.

If you look at the attitude of some of our players, he looks like he's losing the dressing room as it is.

I wont boo the team - thats just childs play, but he deserves all the criticism he's getting right now.

And the quicker Levy realises his downfall at Chelsea wasn't down to JT & Lampard bullying him, the better. He's out his depth & although we're only 3 games in, it sticks out a mile.

It was nice competing at the elite end of the league for a while, but its back to mid-table for us now i'm afraid.

Chicken.. prehaps you should be having a go at the players if they are not giving 100% what they are paid it whould be a disgrace to use the manager as an excuse

Hulk was average before AVB came in and got the best out of him on the right. Falcao was a plus but that's like saying Ancelotti only won the double because Drogba was in good form. A manager shouldn't get credit because he's managing good players.

Meu when AVB came to Academica they were bottom of the league with no wins. And at Porto, like I said he didn't just win, he smashed it. That's what's impressive.

Weare,

Chicken.. prehaps you should be having a go at the players if they are not giving 100% what they are paid it whould be a disgrace to use the manager as an excuse

==================

As i say, its the manager's job to get the players playing, not the players job to inject football know-how into the manager's brain.

When we hear that JT & Lampard took over the dressing room, everyone on here were saying they were ego-maniacs taking over & making AVB's life hell - now you're claiming our players should take over & start telling the manager how to do his job.

Making excuses for the manager in this way is not a good start.

despite AVBs poor selections thus far, we would have 7 points currently if it were not for poor poor individual and collective mistakes at the back.

that is the fault of the players and the players only. they have let AVB down thus far
