Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

My prediction is that we will lose by two goals or less.

First time I went to WHL was in March 1976, the day after my 18th birthday. We lost 5-2, and I remember being chased around their terracing.
Also went in 1982 for an FA Cup game. We lost 1-0. A fair bit of trouble outside, afterwards.
Last time I went there was for the 4-4 game (can't believe that was 12 years' ago!).
I'm going today, so blame me if we lose!

They have a very good record against us. Is all.

We’ve beaten them once in 17

If anyone wants to point me at a meandering small watercourse I can fire up on the phone or tablet whilst cooking tea later then that would be appreciated.

Seeing the Liverpool and City results I suddenly feel quite pessimistic. I have felt like that at all before a match in any of the last three years.

Don't despair.  Spurs aren't as good as Liverpool or Man City.

SKY have just interviewed a couple of legends on the Tottenham pitch. Rafael Van Der Vaart of Spurs and Villa's Nigel Reo Coker.

Nige looked like he was reading that off an autocue. All the enthusiasm of a turtle with the shits.

Have heard a suggestion Grealish is missing due to illness. Hopefully nonsense.

I expect us to lose  this evening as Spurs are the third best team in the League and we have just stepped up and lot of new players to gel. However I am hoping to see us fight and some early shoots of a team in the making. COME ON VILLA.

[Bad English]

I think Villa will be...

Allez Allez Allez

tl;dr
