It's the boo-tiful game according to Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas, who says all fans have the right to give the professionals the benefit of a loud, sustained slagging like Rafa Benitez got at Stamford Bridge.

Poor Rafa faced an unusually hostile reception before the 0-0 against Manchester City on Sunday.

The previous day at Aston Villa, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger got a verbal thick ear from the travelling Gooners.

Not just 'fair play', according to AVB but the very lifeblood of football!

Villas-Boas told reporters:
"The fans have the right to everything in my opinion.

"They are the ones who breathe the biggest passion for the football club, they are the essence and they breathe the values of the football club.

"They are entitled to whatever they want to say or chant; disappointment, belief, encouragement, positiveness.

"It is all down to them, football is about them, it is about their passion. They have the right more than anybody to show that.

"[As a manager] you have to take it. Sometimes we don't like what we hear but that's life."
 
if fans are denied the right to show there displeasure at the way there clubs going how can things get better ? is the way i see its all very well and good giving a manager all most god like status at a club but if he's won nothing for the best part of a decade how can he justify his wages especially at clubs with the resources to win trophies cough*** WENGER***cough .
 
AVB has a more balanced approach to this than the Mouser and Goon mods, that's for sure <ok>
