AVB press conference 27/09/12

[HotspurFC1950]

Loris will play but not just yet. I'd say in a few weeks time.

Any know the website that shows the full interview

Any know the website that shows the full interview

I think it's this one: http://www.thepressbureau.org/

But it doesn't have any since Lazio.....

He didn't get irritated by the "Lloris is frustrated" assumption, he just calmly took the bloke apart with a wry smile on his face! nice.

Loving AVB's press conferences - especially the smack down of the sun 'journalist'.

Also provides a good excuse for a drinking game - down a pint every time AVB describes a player as being 'of excellent dimension'.

Injured.

Well obviously but why aren't we getting any updates on him. It's weird, he's the club's star striker but everyone surrounding the club only seems to talk about Defoe.

 

[nav007_2000]

AVB rocks. I'm liking him more and more each day.

It's not something that's ever done in my experience. We get a story on the website to say a player is injured and for how long and then nothing else. I'm not sure what else you'd expect to see.

I saw the Lloris bit on the Daily Hate Mail website. Being one of the main concentrations of anti-AVB rhetoric, I check it to see if the media are beginning to back off AVB. No sign of it yet.

Anyway, it was brilliant! He ripped the scumbag a new one! As has been pointed out the **** is left back-pedalling faster than a condom salesman in the Vatican.

Similar to when Harry told the Sky reporter who called him a wheeler-dealer to fuck off, leaving the shithead to whine, 'oh don't be like that, Harry'.

And what do those two (AVB and Harry's victims) have in common? Both are employees of News Corp (prop. Rupert Murdoch).

With journalistic standards like that, is it any wonder our media is viewed with such derision? And is it any wonder the country's in the shit when four million people still insist on reading the excreta that emanates from Wapping every day?

I quite like the fact that he's talking about how United have been setting up from a tactical stand point. I'm sure Redknapp did do opposition research, but it's nice to see that AVB has actually tried to dissect how they playing rather than just saying that Rooney is a 'triffic lad.

Top top player Rooney, Top player, I tried to sign him once but we couldn't afford the wages, different league than us, how can we match the money he earns. Rio, I had him as a kid, I signed him, great player, I first saw him as a 14 year old even then I could see he'd be a top top player. I tried to sign him in the summer but the chairman wanted younger players.

The sad thing is it's not too far from the truth from old rent-a-quote

By the end, there, I was half-expecting AVB to say Do I amuse you? Amuse you how? Am I on this planet to f*cking amuse you! I don't know Sun Journalist - you said I was funny, how am I funny, what's so f*cking funny about me? Come-on, you said it, you said I was funny - how am I funny? You stuttering pr*ck, I worry about you...you may fold under question.

Also, nice to have a Head Coach just say A DOF is for the future of the club, it's more about what the club wants than how I feel about it

Would love it if he said that SP, looks like he could have that Joe Pesci attitude in his locker.

Loved the calm method he dealt for the journo, not many can cope with that calm confident method!

Always the best way to deal with that type of customer

What I like most about Andre, is that to talk like that, he must have great belief in his skills and in himself as a person.

The unfortunate element is that most people mistake this kind of confidence for something else. Not me, but love that he won't play the press' games.

I'm so glad we have him. Always respectful to the club too.

Agree with the whole post. And I'd actually go slightly further on the bolded bit and say that he makes liberal use of 'we' and 'us' when talking about the club. It's inclusive, articulating his position as part of the club, rather than simply the team manager / coach.

Some more presser stuff here: http://fourfourtwo.com/news/england/109557/default.aspx

I rather liked this section about the refereeing decisions at Old Trafford!

"I certainly will have no problems expressing myself at Old Trafford," the Tottenham boss told reporters when asked if some young coaches were in awe of Ferguson. "I have no problem with that."

Pushed on whether United got the benefit of close decisions at home, the London club's media officer attempted to gag his coach but Villas-Boas refused to be silenced.​

Asked if United are given beneficial treatment at home by match officials, he replied: "It's an interesting question. It's a question that in this country is impossible to respond to.​

"It would be good if we could respond but last year I received a very hard fine and I won't make the same mistake again."

One could say that the press are not of an excellent dimension.

 

[guiltyparty]

Ha. Reminded me of the Jol 'Can I think you're a pr*ck' skit, tho obviously more subtle. But then that was behind closed doors
