I type AVB on here but say Villas-Boas in conversation.

Funny how nobody has mentioned our favourite chelsea defender JT the ****. Some of you just have no respect...:whistle:

I remember a comedian referring to WAGs and saying technically you can't be a wife and a girlfriend. It should be wives or girlfirends...Jimmy Carr I think.

Sir Alex, the Special One, Arry, King Kenny, Big Phil, Tinkerman, Wolly with the Brolly......the press have often used nicknames for all types of managers. It has little to do with respect. It's just something they do. So even at your most basic argument, you're wrong.

I dunno, calling someone a shit manager to me is disrespectful.

And there were enough on this forum that have said that about a few of our former managers.

Calling someone by their initials is disrespectful? Maybe if you have PMT it is (that's not an abbreviation for Neil Warnock by the way).

Didn't feel too much disrespect when RDM won the UCL last year but was referred to as RDM.

Anyone who thinks three letters are being disrespectful should try four letters.

The point is a pundit wouldn't refer to him as RDM would they?

It's easier to say Di Matteo than it is to say "Villasch Boasch" and still look like a serious pundit though. ;)

I don't know really, I say AVB or just Villas-Boas (without the silly pronounciation). The pundits will never get it spot on anyway, so they may prefer to abbreviate it.

But by all means, get your panties in a bunch and complain about the usage of AVB. I'm sure it will solve all sorts of real issues, like poverty, hunger, cancer and cool nicknames. Next up....."It's Edgar Davids.....not Pitbull"


Panties mmmm

Once the PleatMeister has his mangling way with Andorras Villainous Bow-Ass you'll be glad to have him called AVB ;)
