Very good article. I'd love AVB, would probably be my first choice.
Wilbury, I think you underestimate Carra's ego and arrogance. If AVB came, there would surely be no room for Carra and I could see him undermining him like Terry did.

It's that bad? But he hasn't been in the first team all year... Maybe because it's Kenny he kept quiet.
They should get him on a coaching contract as soon as possible and phase him out.
Well he was one of the biggest cheerleaders for Hodgson to get the job after Rafa left. I still think he'll be playing next year despite the fact he is past it. And he'll continue to blame others for his own mistakes and give the young players a needless bollocking.

Once again JT gets blamed as the person who wanted AVB out. Even though JT was seen getting on well with him and has said in interviews after the fact that he still keeps in contact with AVB. All the while Lamps publicly admitted to not getting on with him.
JT, everybody's favourite scapegoat.
He just gives his opinion when he's asked. I've seen Carragher talk about he well Skrtel's done this season, taking his place in the starting 11. Doesn't seem too bitter.
Sorry, it's because he's such a scumbag, I assumed he was the senior player that undermined him.
Terry was too busy trying to fuck AVB's wife to undermine him.
He's happy to take credit for everyone else's achievements, I'll give him the blame for them too.

When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me. Sort of one of the reasons football fans bug me. Everybody is so happy to go round making stuff up and spouting it as fact.
I know, captained a team the entire competition. What a dick.
Wilbury...
stream?
Kyle...
Anyway with Terry, Luiz and Cahill have proven they can handle big games and are better footballers and would fit in AVB's philosophy more. Shame he couldn't stay.
this will be a mess
Nice read. If this is truly an 18-year old girl writing this, color me particularly impressed.
Ok, someone answer this.
Why is Micah Richards not in that team?
He only missed out the last few games of the season because of injury, when Kompany was injured or suspended he wore the captains armband, he is vice-captain of City.
He better not go to the Olympics, that would be an insult.

It's a shame we won't be getting Kagawa either.

Gutted I'm not going to one of the shows at the O2. Feel like I've missed a piece of history. Stupid exams.
Who knows? Why is Downing in the team?
He was playing Terry. It was Lampard who was being phased out.
However, I agree that the majority of the squad must have welcomed the change. I mean, look at the results once he left. Lukaku's recent dig on his willingness to teach is also telling of his relationship with the team on multiple levels.

Wasn't Lukaku bought by the board and wasn't AVB's signing as that article says? Which makes sense considering he apparently didn't like him at all.
Lille no doubt enjoys all the clubs pressing up the price and overbidding each other. But really, there is no good reason for Hazard to rush things, he got months off now where he can listen to all the clubs offers and make the right decision.
Edit : It's a girl who wrote that AVB article? I MUST MARRY HER.

Given our luck it will miraculously be a Dortmund vs Schalke final.
Started off slow and didn't get many games but ended on a high and scored a couple of important goals. He's a good squad player even if he isn't the most technically gifted.

What the... Only thing that music video needs is some Zanger Bob.
He must have slept with someone related to Hodgson or something because he's clearly fucking him in return.
He puts the work in as well, Which I appreciate.
Well, it's just a TV-commercial this, but a pretty awesome one if you ask me.

Nigel de Jong has only been expelled once in his entire career? And for a double yellow? What the fuck is this shit?!
Something's going on. Richards should just retire from international football.
Owen Hargreaves released by Manchester City after one season :lol but unfortunately.
Sorry if already posted.

Sleeping with anything related to Roy Hodgson... Come on, not even Terry would do that.
Commercial or not, it needed more Zanger Bob.

When we sign him you're not allowed a Kagawa avatar.
Everything in life needs more Zanger Bob.
Yes. He was a target well before AVB was even considered as coach. He said as much about both Lukaku and De Bruyne I believe. Club transfer policies...something....something.....
Legitimate question:
What would happen if we don't sign him?
We'd have lost out on our 2 main transfer targets.
Would SAF try to sign someone else or say he's "happy with the squad we've got."
