Soccer-Angry Villas-Boas hits back at media critics

By Martyn Herman LONDON, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas launched an attack on members of the media at a frosty news conference following his side's 2-2 home Premier League draw with Manchester United on Sunday. The Portuguese former Chelsea coach has been in the spotlight all week after last Sunday's 6-0 humiliation at Manchester City and was clearly still riled as the fall-out from that dismal defeat lingered on. "I think it's clear I don't think (I have been given enough respect)," Villas-Boas, who joined Spurs after being sacked in his first season at Chelsea, told reporters. It's a lack of respect and an attack on a person's integrity." "I know it comes with the 6-0 thrashing but the more important thing is the team and the team responded with a good performance today." Villas-Boas then became involved in a discussion with the reporter in question.
