Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Solid display. Loads of energy and guile. We will have a plan for Spurs but they are very good. But I have full confidence we can put on a super display and come away with a point.

1-1 Kane, Jota

[itmustbe_it is!]

Remember promoted Notts County coming to Villa Park first game of the season in 1981 and turning us over.

Except this time we are Notts County .......

1-0 Villa 

Jota.

I suspect we'll lose this one.  3-0 Spurs.

Random sidetrack :

What year was it we went down there for a night game (I think) and won to go top of the league ? Seats above Park End were massively overfilled, shared my "space" with at least 3 others

And what year did we draw at VP in the FA cup, then beat them 1-0 in the replay midweek?

Two awesome aways.

1989/90 and FA Cup 1991/92.

Premier League, Saturday 10th August, 17.30

Son and Foyth suspended for them. Alli knackered his hamstring today. Davies, Aurier and Dier all doubtful.

It's good to be back.

And Kane doesn't score in August.

I wonder when he gets to break that stat?

Thank you. Same again this weekend please !

Spurs win seems the most likely outcome to me.  It's asking a lot of a load of Premier League novices who've barely played together to go away to a Champions League side who know each other inside out and win.  If we take an early lead things might pan out differently but really I'm hoping for some indications that our new guys look at home at this level and can put a shift in.

Well we went to a Champions League side Saturday and won.....

Spurs go to 2 up after 15 mins, loads of smug fuckers as we start 'doing a Fulham', we pull 1 back before HT, awww cute little gallant Aston Villa making a game of it. We rattle in another 5 in the second half with no reply, their big screen goes blank from the shock of it as we make Spurs look like the side just promoted and out of their depth, "even your telly's shit" rings out from the away end.

Fuck 'em all, we're back.

This. This is what I wanted to say.

Dele Ali out injured helps our cause a bit.

Fantastic. This but I don't actually think they will score.

2-0 Villa FTF.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Even game, 1-0 at half time but we look more than decent. We pull one back only to be followed immediately by a very dodger Spurs penalty. They score another in the last few minutes of the game (deflected) to give a scoreline that doesn't reflect the game.

Bournemouth at home will be first 3 points. And the manner that we do it will erase the memory of Spurs' fortune. We'll then go unbeaten for the rest of the month.

[CT]

3-1 to us.

First on MOTD.

FTF.
