Really not sure how I feel about that.
Part of me is thinking "good on you" for pulling them up on it, and part of me is thinking "Why antagonise them?!" (that never ends well)

Part of me is disappointed that our manager is such a well mannered fella. It would've been nice to see him bash that fucker's teeth in with a Cantona-style kung fu kick.

He's still young. That part of his game takes work. Also, his progress was retarded by his teeth-bashing instructor's injury for much of the season to date.

ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS V NEIL ASHTON - FULL TRANSCRIPT
Question from another journalist: Your point is that you're under pressure so why is the United manager not under pressure?

Villas-Boas: Well I think... I don't want to undermine other managers. You can easily compare situations. We have sat above Man City before and above Man United before and we haven’t seen any kind of these personal attacks to somebody, and they are in this room, so I think that is unfair.

It's something that obviously comes with the 6-0 thrashing but more important is the team and the response and I think the players did that in great, great fashion.

Ashton: What was personal about it, Andre?

Villas-Boas: You can easily understand. I don't need to explain. I think you have always chased people, you attack people. You don't attack them by the front, you attack them sitting when you write. You attack integrity, you attack competence, you attack the integrity of the person, their human values and you don't even know that person. We never got a chance to sit down and speak about it.

Ashton: I’m happy to speak about it.

Villas-Boas: Only when I give you that chance, when I know you and you know me are you able to reach conclusions like the one you did. I think yours and Martin's (Samuel) articles were completely out of order. That is my opinion.

Ashton: And I’m entitled to mine.

Villas-Boas: Of course, but I’m entitled to mine.

Ashton: But you are the one who has the problem with it, not me.

Villas-Boas: Ok but I’m making it public.

Ashton: Surely you don’t think there is a personal agenda?

Villas-Boas: I don’t think that, when I say there are articles that attack my integrity and human values. I think I don’t need to explain myself on that. Each one of us draws their own conclusions, that’s mine, obviously Neil and Martin have theirs and I respect their opinions as well but this is my opinion of what they write… even mixing the words that I said in the press conference after Man City.

Ashton: Sorry, can you explain?

Villas-Boas: I never told that the players should feel ashamed of themselves. We, that includes me.

Ashton: But if you say we should feel ashamed of ourselves, you are including your group of players?

Villas-Boas: Obviously.

Ashton: So…

Simon Felstein (Tottenham head of media): It’s not about dividing them, that’s the difference. It’s not a discussion for right now, not with the cameras on Neil. I think we can talk about this after.

Ashton: No, I am happy to talk about it now.

Villas-Boas: We is us. We are everybody at the club. Don’t you agree? Why do you think this is any intention to separate myself from it?

Felstein: Move on.

Question from another journalist: Paulinho, Dembele and Sandro, moved the ball quicker, is this the missing link?

AVB is getting a lot of love on Twitter for his comments from fans of all teams. It would be nice for some managers to agree with him tomorrow.

Ashton is the same cunt who Wenger went all Travis Bickle on last season.

He's right but yet again they'll just put their spin on it to make him seem completely wrong

hopefully at the next press conference he'll jump down & nail the odious cunt proper!

 

[jimmyriggle]

fergie made a legend out of cunting off journos in pressers yet for some this shows a sign of weakness in AVB?
Like Jiggins before him he showed that Mail weasel up for the nasty piece of work that he is but no doubt his bosses will be delighted with the additional click throughs their site will be getting off the back of it.

What annoyed me the most was the way Ashton defended himself by saying 'it's my opinion and i'm entitled to it.'
Well actually you're not when you present your opinion as fact, and base it on a completed twisted version of a quote.

They're like dirty gutter rats spreading bullshit, especially cunts like Ashton and Samuel who are the worst sports journo's in the country and when someone decides enough is enough they act all confused and wronged like when Wenger let the cunts have it last season and now AVB also. On the Sugar remark AVB should have again dealt with it the Wenger way and not even aknowledge the guy the same way he (wenger) doesn't aknowledge Morgan.

Next press conference I want AVB to bring a laptop with Football Manager loaded with the 2010 squads. Put it in front of Ashton and tell him "there, try and go unbeaten, cos it is the closest to the real thing you will ever get. Tosser."

I'd rather he used the laptop to smash Ashtons face in.

That'd still work. I think FM has top-notch accessibility controls.

 

[alexwooty]

I've got a lot of admiration for the fact that AVB stood up for himself and called these twats out on their articles. However, I fear that if the press didn't have an agenda against him before, they certainly will have now, and media relations are only going to get harder for him as a result. Journalists aren't usually eager to hold their hands up and apologise for mistakes, particularly not journalists from this particular rag...
