Hurt

Andre Villas Boas...AT 34, You dared to take up the hottest managerial post in Europe..your ambition, drive, and nonchalance on the face of searing criticism, a flurry of defeats and a mercurial owner won my heart..your helplessness, continuous pacing and whistling at the touchline and the exultation and relief after rare victories would be images that i would carry with me for a long time...you were the modern day Icarus, only i hoped you would not crash and burn..May you find greener pastures, and with a team that matches your talent, script a comeback that's the stuff of fairy-tales...i hope you are my Rocky, my Cinderella Man, riding the chariot of fire escaping to victory...play your symphony with a red guitar on fire...i will wait....

and here we go again...Sayan fantasizing yet again over another Portuguese man and deriving bitter-sweet pleasure through vicarious participation in a tragedy.you and your homophilia...and all this for the sake of one team of egotistic dullards, a bloke who bit off more than he could chew (yet green with a heavy pay-day) and a man who is less Roman and more Romanov! Mourinho, I still understand, but this???

i think andre villas boas had the capacity to become the next mourinho...somehow i thought he should have spent another 2 seasons at a lesser demanding club before coming to epl/la liga....he can be mourinho, but he aint...even mourinho spent 2 seasons at porto and i think one at a club called lineria or something like that..add to it his formative years in barca...avb never had that experience...and by the way, i hear joachim low is linked to the chelsea job...he is another man i fantasise avout...
