Villas-Boas on Lukaku

[CahillsCornerFlag]

That reply is top class. This man just oozes class and he don't take no crap.

Do one AVB, well in Bobby lid.

I believe this picture needs posting again, as it goes hand-in-hand with the Boberto love:

Pure class.

Fantastic from RM - he'll have a lot more fans after that - a considered but loaded riposte

That Villas-Boas comes across as a slime ball, his comments about his own fans was silly considering the hate he got from Chelsea fans.

He gives me the impression that he's determined not to make the mistake of being 'Mr Nice Guy' again. He was humiliated at Chelsea, and maybe treated unfairly. But he's making the mistake now of thinking being obnoxious is the same as having status.

I agree with Boas, but then Loris could have gotten out the way.

Works both ways you Chelsea twerp.

If Spurs are the media darlings as claimed how come they're getting criticised so much over this?

 

[BiggyRat]

I saw someone make that comment earlier and assumed it was a joke, if that's what he said then my love for Bob is reaching levels I never thought possible.

Sorry, should've put a link in.

Lukaku's last step before contact says it all. Until that point Lukaku has no reason to pull out of that, if Lloris hesitated for a split second it would have been Lukaku's ball and he would have been through on goal. Once it's clear Lloris is going to get the ball, he takes a single step with his right foot to avoid contact, right before Lloris's head clatters into his knee.

Lloris had every right to go for that ball. I don't really agree with Southall1EFC, the best goalies don't calculate their odds of getting hurt, they put their bodies on the line to get the ball and stop the opposition from scoring, end of. I'm sure the penalty shouts are a joke because he clearly got the ball, but still I think a keeper always knows the risk when he goes sliding in like that.

If either player's timing was off by a fraction of a second, it could have resulted in a goal, a penalty, a much more serious injury, or no contact at all. I don't think anyone is at fault, it's just a part of the game.

AVB isnt Harry

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

AVB is a chod spouting bibble. I dread to think what the fool would have come out with about Lukaku if Lloris had incurred a brain injury and his decision to leave him on the pitch came back to haunt him.

Nicely dealty with Martinez, lets leave AVB to his witless diversionary chuntering.

Roberto 1 Average Villas Boas 0.......with repostes like that where he has a calculated dig back but does it coolly are so hard to come back at. AVB will be well miffed that our suave Basque has had him for breakfast. Halas BobbyLad

Excellent post and spot on mate. Footballs a contact sport, keepers job is to stop goals, strikers job to score them. No give or take in that challenge and rightfully so. No harm intended just one of them things. Good goal keeping by him and good chasing down by Lukaku. Someone mentioned before there was a 0.3 second gap from catching the ball and Lukakus mountain top knee cap giving Lloris a slap on his chopper. Impossible to avoid. Spot on Martinez as well for having a sly dig about Soldado and his floppy ****ing forearm. Game might have been 0-0 but Boberto knocks AVB out with an agile slap to win the manager jibber jabber 1-0
