AVB Memories/Appreciation Thread

[Capocrimini]

So all of AVBs highlights directly correlate wIth Bale having a worldy. AVB needs to be thanking Bale, not us thanking him.

BS man utd performance was a great team performance, city at home was a brilliant turn around Instigated by AVBs changes. Sure no one needs you thanking them as clearly your either a shit supporter or a non spurs fan.

Exactly, where's your payout?

It's the forgotten surivors like you that will have to toil for minutes not only over thinking of a clever new avatar BUT then applying it too.

Oh the humanity. Levy you have a lot to answer for my friend.

Experience should have informed you that you were going to have to do that sooner rather than later.

Troll? CrazyHeart, you need to learn the internet my friend.

Could you work a troll into your next adventure? As a sick-fi geek i'd have to fetch the tissues….

Anyway, back on topic, I liked the way AvB celebrated with the players after a goal much like everyone above. I also liked the way he stood up for himself in a press conference, albeit a bit defensive, it gave him character.

Best of luck on the continent, where I am sure you will re-build your reputation.

The only player he ever won over seems to be Bale, this season noone has played for him, no will no passion. Will never forget win at OT. COYS

Bale was playing for the people who authorised cheques at Madrid not AVB

Happiest memory of AVB was 10:55am, 16/12/2013.

The moment his departure was announced. How anyone could turn potentially the best forward line since the "famous 5" of Klinsmann, Dumitrescu, Barmby, sheringham and Anderson into a bunch of girls who are scared to attack deserves no happy memorial.

The thread should have been called "memories of Bale", he's the only reason we had a killer edge in so many games last year. Fuck all to do with AVB.

Interesting that the players playing badly is his fault but players playing well has nothing to do with him.

How... convenient.

I'd like to think he was playing first and foremost for Spurs.

Indeed. I wish Bale had stayed, then we could have seen if AVB could evolve his tactics.

Even last year we were found wanting. I was at the Wet Spam game where we looked out of ideas most of the time. Parker was spinning about on the ball and doing fuck all.

It was Bale working with siggy and verts that got us moving.

This year out tactics crippled a good side. Tactics come from
The man in charge, short of blaming God, or levy, or Franco, the blame falls with AVB. All day, every day.

Sandro's injury was big last season. It forced a freshly back from injury Parker who was starting to age. The football declined considerably after that and that was when we start winning games with Bale's goals alone.

I'm not disagreeing about the tactics, but to suggest any good results last season had nothing to do with AVB is just wrong. Why would Sig and Vert linking with Bale have nothing to do with AVB either?

Ok, if it has anything to do with AVB, why hasn't Townsend/Llama/Eriksen/chadli formed a partnership with each other, or a left back? So Rose has been injured, but he remains unproven, despite some nice goals over the year sand a few good games.

In fact, why have none of these players (attacking forwards) been able to partner with Soldado?

The answer, in my opinion is the revolving door team selection. Why drop Lamela after he banged in a goal in Europe and finally looked confident? How many times has Townsend cut in and it's not worked? Has anyone seen Soldado for Valencia and how he thrives on balls rolled from behind him, at pace, between defenders ON THE DECK?

All of these little things add up, and with one striker with no service, no cohesive midfield partnerships, it's no wonder we don't score.

I guess a plus is that we spent ages fannying about in midfield, which protected our defence!

I'm just going to delete my first post .

I don't want to rile people, I'm glad he's gone, but miffed we don't have a replacement!

Who knows? Maybe those 3 were more responsive to his methods? More comfortable with what he was asking? I have no idea. I'm just saying that just because he did a lot of things wrong, it doesn't automatically mean he did nothing right.

That's a fair point. This season, for some reason things just didn't work out. It wasn't all down to Bale last year, but monkey boy was the missing link... ;-)

I hope out next missing link is a Llama not a monkey.

Can't wait to see Lamela in full flow!

I would too, but I think his eyes were already firmly on Madrid

 

[tototoner]

I still think he is a coach of immense proportions but the majority of fans didn't want him and I guess they are all chuffed now to be saying I told you do, certainly the British media is.

He coach elsewhere in Europe now and he'll be a success

 

[RButch]

It is rather dismal that the only memories of AVB is him celebrating. It tells a lot about the performances of the team and that in reality we never played to the teams full potential.

That saying I do appreciate the effort and passion he put into Spurs.

 

[kaz Hirai]

We played a lot of decent football in the league last year, Chelsea away was great. Ade's wonder goal just as the Chelsea fans were singing you only have one player! Brilliant

Also loved this:

To those that wish to brand the guy as a robot who didn't care. Thanks for sharing

I Could have lived with a transitional season, but the clear lack of progress from the start of the season up until now was frustrating.

But I wanted so much for him to succeed ! I have loved every interview, every celebration and Even his cute ginger-beard look... I feel that Even though he never was gonna win the english media over, he handled them perfectly.

He was to me a very very likeable guy that I wished Could take my team to new hights...

I felt the axing was harsh, but unavoidable... Now, do not give me an old boring *** like capello!
This is Tottenham, to dare is to do! Give us a young attacking-minded manager who gives us the hunger to watch the next game instead of fear of losing it!
