No Coots, no game changer.
-
Bailey ?
-
Time to get winning once again.
-
Bailey in a Villa shirt again.
Unai WTF!!?!
-
Attacking spurs line up
-
Urgh. Bailey.
-

Not happy with that selection. No need to be starting Young. McGinn dropping in next to Luiz when the Donk and Kamara are on the bench is ridiculous, and all to accommodate the inclusion of Bailey!
-
Very surprised at that team. Thought Carlos and Kamara were certs to start.
-
Bailey's shit but we have often seemed more effective when he starts. Not sure how that works but there you go.
-
There can be no doubt, Unai likes Leon. Can’t really work out why. Creates space for Ollie maybe?
-
Bailey's shit but we have often seemed more effective when he starts. Not sure how that works but there you go.
Surprised as well but Leon does better at home than away (so fingers crossed). Didn't expect to see Carlos in or and any of the returnees start.
-
Emery hoping for a fast start with Bailey. Expect to be kicking towards the Holte first half if we win the toss⁹
-
Looks like Emery wants a repeat of the away game, contain them first half, set the attack dogs on them in the second. He did say that all the players coming back couldn't manage 90 minutes.
-
Very surprised at that team. Thought Carlos and Kamara were certs to start.
They're not match fit.
-
Only got one criticism of Unai that is his faith in Bailey, tough on the Donk.
-
Watkins 2,McGinn& Digne for us. Them nil. That was what I dreamt last night.
-
Very surprised at that team. Thought Carlos and Kamara were certs to start.
They're not match fit.
No good putting them on the hour if we're 2 or three down.
Of course Bouba broke down last time but he came on v Wolves and had a full week's of training. We also saw in the away game that McGinn and Luiz can hurt Spurs the higher up the pitch they play.
Not feeling as confident as I was an hour ago. Certainly first half looks a containment job.
-
Any win will do today. By hook to by crook. A dodgy penalty. A worldie. A Kane OG would be great.
-
We can only pray this is the 1 in 10 games that Bailey isn’t a pub player.
-
No Coots, no game changer.
and when did he last change a game?
-
I've just discovered French TV canal plus has decided to show united insteaf of Villa as it was planned.
Fucking hate them fucking hate united .
Come on Villa win this please..
-
I wish we'd swing a corner in now and again.
-
Surprised we don't let Doug try a special now and again, keep it in the mind of the keeper and defenders.

Don't you have the multiplex thing? They show several games usually.
One thing they do that annoys me is have the crowd sound right down so basically you can only hear the commentators. It's crap.

Spurs parking the buzz. ;-)

SCOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Goooooaaaaallllllllll
-
JJ woooooooooooooo
-
Good play from Bailey
-
Yeeeeeeeeees. Ramsay! 1-0.

Good goal that.
-
Get the fuck in!!!!
Bailey with the assist (!)

Great stuff JJ

If there is any chance of a link to the goal please? Come on Villa, get another, quickly.

Nice finish. Thanks PWS.
-
Get it n! Distraction for me as I challenge some ****** in a Burzum t-shirt who wants to talk to me about national socialism.
-
First goal was vital. Cmon the Villa
-
I know it's the Villa match thread and I'm sorry. But Forest leading at Chelsea, that would all but relegate Leeds.
What I don't understand is why Sky don't show how it all affects the league table, given how close we are to the end of the season.
Come on Villa, get a second. Massive game.
-
I know it's the Villa match thread and I'm sorry. But Forest leading at Chelsea, that would all but relegate Leeds.
Not really given they're only a point behind Everton and might have a similar goal difference after tomorrow.
-
I am flicking around matches too.
So much going on today.

+1 please

No Coots, no game changer.
I miss him.

No Coots, no game changer.
I miss him.
Same here, hopefully we won't need a game changer today. 8)

I am such a plonker. I had neglected to look at the table after the Leeds game!!
-
McGinn has started like a train. The lad's everywhere.
-
Steve! Don’t do this to me! Was hoping Leeds was lost!
-
Steve! Don’t do this to me! Was hoping Leeds was lost!
Ha ha, really sorry mate!
-
Just sat with bunch of Leeds fans. I think I have ear scabies after their outbursts. Come on villa! Demolish these lot. Monday is anniversary of my villa loving uncles death so do it for him!
-
SJM booked for a challenge on Kane
-
If anyone has a little trickle they could send my way I'd be very grateful.
-
How is that a fucking yellow card. The tackles they let go these days. Joke.
-
Bonkers, Son hits the post, Kane shoots and it's saved by Emi, then the flag is raised.
-
Obviously the ref had to book McGinn early for having the cheek to have a good game.
-
Kane the ******
-
Yellow card, my arse.
I hate Kane.
-
This nonsense about not flagging offsides does my head in.
-
This nonsense about not flagging offsides does my head in.
It is ludicrous.
-

It was on Kane, we're lucky it wasn't red. It was a foul to be fair, but never a yellow card.

Yellow card, my arse.
I hate Kane.
I'd never tire of punching his face, the gormless ****.
-

Seems cowardly but i guess they have VAR driven into them these days.

Kane looks like a lobotomised man from 1899 who when he runs shouts his own name. Tit

It was a "foul" on "Our 'arry".
Therefore a booking.
It's in the Greedy6 Special Laws Section of the PGMOL gsndbook.

Fraser with a good save from Leon
-
Possible penalty?
-
Fraser with a good save from Leon
Powderpuff shot
-
Would like another scorchio before HT, we really need to win this.
-
We ought to get another scorchio before half time. Done enough to deserve it.
-
Nearly had one
-
We are playing some gorgeous football.
-
Spurs look like they're being managed by Steve Bruce. Playing the game at 20mph max.
-
Are the Spurs fans singing 'how shit must you be, it's only 1-0?' We waited till we were down before we started that caper!
-
What a fucking cross that was from Moreno
-
Buendia hits the bar!
-
Cross deserved a goal.
-
Not getting that second is giving me the fear, especially with this referee.
-
If watkins was an inch taller that's 2-0, fantastic cross.
-
Come on win.
-
We need the goals for goal difference too. Boost ours, ruin Tottenham's.
-
Buendia deserved a goal there. Beautiful move.
-
What a pass from Luiz under pressure... samba football
-
Luiz's overhead. That is the sexiest 10 yard pass in the history of football.
-
Only disappointment from that half is not scoring more. Played very well.
-
Tottenham can't be this bad in the second half too you'd imagine
-
For God's sake put the f*****g flag up.
-
Played very well and probably should have had a second.
-
What's really noticeable today is how well organised we are in the transition after we lose possession. Everyone gets into the nearest position to makie it a 442 and then as play develops we filter players back to the right place, it shows we're training for it.
The flagging for offsides is annoying the shit out of me, we're playing the offside trap brilliantly but every time there's a nagging worry we've fucked it up until the replay shows he was 2-3 yards off.
-
Tottenham can't be this bad in the second half too you'd imagine
We'll pick the fuckers off, mate.
-
Spuds have been beyond lucky. We could and should be two goals better off than we are.
-
1-0 flatters them. We played some really lovely football and were aggressive in the press. Great to watch. Think we'll need to score another one to win this though. Kane will obviously get a penalty at some point.
-
We dominated so much we could have had Olsen in goal and we wouldn't have worried.
-
Tottenham can't be this bad in the second half too you'd imagine
From listening to the grumbling in the Witton corner, I'm inclined to think they've been this bad for some time now.
-
Great half. Hopefully we will maintain that level of concentration in the second.
-

Stop it, somethings are just not possible.

On the plus side, all that extra time taking to stop play is probably better for us, the longer that there's only a goal in it.
-
Banford missed a penalty for Leeds.... there is a god. LOL.
-
Been a near flawless half for us.
-
We dominated so much we could have had Olsen in goal and we wouldn't have worried.
I'd have worried...
-
"We need a strong Chelsea for the Premier League, don't we?" says Jason Mohammad to Martin Keown on Final Score. Hahahaha.
-
OK Unai you have done well so far now don’t fuck it up in the second half against these detestable kunts.
-
It's amusing to watch a spurs side trying to get something out of the law change a while back wherein you can't be offside from a goal kick.
-
Played well, easily the best team . Should be at least two up , thought Bailey should have scored and Peter Withe would have scored the Watkins close chance.
Mcginn has had a great game.
-
As good a half as you’re likely to see, but I think we needed that second goal our play deserved.
Both owners here today, both look very happy.
-
Spurs will be where Chelsea are this time next season if they give Mason the job full time.
That was so easy for us, only issue is it's only 1-0 and their forwards don't need endless domination to score. If they move Kane back to CF rather than this bizarre midfield 8 role he has and bring on Kuluveski then that's a much bigger test for us out of possession.
All they've got currently is diagonals and we're catching them offside with ease.
Would help if this ref actually got round to booking Romero aswell. Wiped out Ollie in the build up to the goal and then did another bookable offence foul two minutes later. McGinn does the same and then gets booked.
-
Imagine this Spurs side without Kane, they'd be comfortably bottom half.

I see Darren Woolley got a pic with Wes! He's amazing Daz!
-

-
We have become very “Professional “, UTFV
-
We've absolutely bossed it in midfield because we're out numbering them, but also mcginn has been an absolute monster so far
-
Imagine this Spurs side without Kane, they'd be comfortably bottom half.
They are in massive trouble. Defence that has conceded pretty much 60 goals this season, slow paced midfield and Son despite his recent goals has declined in overall play and lost half a yard of acceleration.
Going to take 3-4 transfer windows so that is side we simply must be finishing above next season if it dosen't quite happen this year.
-

Mcginn has had a great game.
I thought the bailey chance was a lot harder than some are suggesting, to score he either needed to add height to it or put it further into the corner, both of which are difficult with the ball behind him like it was.
-
You don't really see diving headers anymore, Ollie would've score with that action. Loved the cross from Moreno.
Kane will score if he gets that type of service from out wide in second half.
-
We dominated so much we could have had Olsen in goal and we wouldn't have worried.
No, Emi is part of the passing
-
About as dominant as we could have hoped for I think, except perhaps for the scoreline. I might have missed one, but I don't think they've even had a single shot? We really do need a second to kill them off, as with Kane they only need one chance to punish us - even if it looks unlikely currently. And ideally we'll get a couple more and spend the night back in 6th.
-

Yup. We need a second followed by a third to go above Spurs on goal difference.
-
Started this half well
-
Mings other half spraying passes against spurs 🔥🔥
-
I hope we aren't going to be profligate in front of goal. This 1-0 situation is not good for my nerves.
-
Emi saves from Kane
-
Fortunately we didn't have Olsen this half!
-
Dougies range of passing is a joy to each
-
Fuck that was close. My arse is twitching.
-
Got away with one there
-
'The World's Number 1..'
-
VP sounds like a game of Sunday afternoon ladies bowls.
-
We’re going to struggle here. The fuckers will definitely score.
-
Come on now Villa.
-
We're losing energy.
-
Can we please have another scorchioooo
-
VP sounds like a game of Sunday afternoon ladies bowls.
Sounds good from my end

Had it too good for too long.

Lenglet just seems to push people in stead of tackling, Bailey was a bit soft going down but there's been 5-6 times where he's just given a 2handed shove and got away with it.
-
He slipped over FFS. ******.
-
We all know how this ends.
-
The ref is abysmal
-
Getting a bit dodgier
-
Mings IQ 180
-
this ref is truly awful
-
All Spurs really.
-
Need a second
-
This is horrible now.
-

I can mostly hear muffled chatter on my stream, just hear the Spurs fans sing 'Tottingham'.
-
Oh fuck, they've started with their Saints dirge.
-
Time for Digne, maybe.
-
These shitty little decisions have been going against us for a few weeks now, nothing massive that we can highlight as changing the gma ebut 3-4 bad decisions over the course of the match that just give the opposition a foothold.
-
Well, PWS must have cramp in his fingers by now. We're not going to need his services on this thread again.

Not sure if your trying to start an arguement or just explain something. Mate I'm working class. Not long got home from work and just found out that one of my least favourite(to say the least) players may have left one of my least favourite clubs in a perilous positions. Quite simple realy. Villa 2-0 Get in.......

Get in Villa!

-
Booom boom boom let me hear you say Dougie!
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Don’t ask don’t get. Thank you 😀😀😀😀
-
Link to the goal please? Appreciate it.
-
Brilliant free kick, looked very easy.
-
Eg elski Douglas Luiz
-
Well, PWS must have cramp in his fingers by now. We're not going to need his services on this thread again.
Wince appreciated my reverse psychology. FTF!
-
Yeah,watch that go in behind you Kane you helmet
-
What a strike!!!!
Dougie!!!!!
-
Is this as impressive as the Newcastle performance?
-
Link to the goal please? Appreciate it.

-
One more goal and we go above them in the table.
-
I feel less sick now but JESUS it was a tough 10 mins to watch preceding that goal.
-
When I hear Kane speak he makes me think David Beckham’s a frigging rocket scientist.
-
Get the flying fuck innnnn!!! Come on Villa!
-
Link to the goal please? Appreciate it.

Thanks PWS. Sherwood giving no credit for the free kick, blaming the keeper for not doing better. Tosser.
-
How the fuck did the ref just give them a free kick because Lenglet jumped into Duran?
-
I feel less sick now but JESUS it was a tough 10 mins to watch preceding that goal.
Ha! I was just thinking do I need this much stress in my life.

I hate Leeds too but come the last game of the season I'm 100% a Leeds fan!
-
Goal for Jhon please
-
Quick glimpse of how one-foots Duran is there, trying to play the ball through to Watkins with the outside of his left foot, rather than playing the much easier option of the inside of this right foot.

Chas and Dave, Bruce Forsyth, that lass who's always singing about break-ups, Sir Trevor McDonald, Jude Law, Trigger from OFAH, Alan Sugar, Alan Sugar!

Ryan Mason on the touchline is as inspiring as a used condom.

No, nothing like at that level though we were completely in control of first half.

That Sultan of Unai banner is a bit naff.

Fucking disgrace
-
Var check for Spurs
-
Is that Kamara limping?
-
Fuck off Kane you absolute ******.
-
They can't be serious that is a penalty!
-
He was off too
-
And off to the screen
-
This is gonna be a Kane decision.
-
Looks a pen to me.
-
Even Jeff Stelling laughing because Kane seems to have dived.
-
Penalty is given
-
Looks a pen to me.
I thought he was ofgside
-
Fucking joke
-
Fuck off kane you twat
-
Looks a pen to me.
I thought he was offside
-
Kane was offside
-
It's Kane. Of course they'll give it.
-
Kane. Dictionary definition of Biggus Dickus
-
Although, the ball had gone when Kane was brought down. Just like with Ollie in the first half, but that wasn't a pen of course.
-
1-2
-
Questionable if he was onside and thenhe pretty clearly knocked the ball away from goal and played for contact, they often get given but the gormless prick really is shameless and refs fall for it every fucking time.
-
Win the game Villa
-
****** Sherwood cheered when it went in. Arsehole.
-
Ridiculous

Penalty challenge

-
Kane has no shame. He's a ****** and I can never support anything he does for England, either. Bellend.
-
If it had been Forster on Watkins, we'd all have said it was a pen, to be fair.
-
No doubts there will be 15 minutes added on too.
-
Fucking King Egbert, kicks it out of play, goes looking for the keeper. Just like that other time a couple of seasons ago.
-
****** Sherwood cheered when it went in. Arsehole.
He can be thrown into a volcano, wanking about Kane as he goes.
-
Now people not supporting England can know how the rest of the world feels about the cnut
-
Disgusting.
-
6 mins added time
-
6 mins added time
Why not just round it up to an hour for them.
-
He didn't fucking score against France though. Wanker!
-
Fuck, I can't watch this. See you all on the other side.
-
Ref is bent
-
Yeah I'm about to throw up I'm so nervous
-
Sherwood, punchable face mode. Fuck off twat.
Manage the game Villa.
-
What always annoys me is when the “foreign” lads go down for penalties and clearly cheat it’s universally condemned in the English media. Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling are just good pros though. Cheating ******
-
Ref's an utter scrotum.
-
Sherwood, punchable face mode.
He has other modes?

Yes, kickable bollocks.

Holy shit, another later flag after Son scores!

I am not enjoying this at all. No stream, following it on here.
-
Holy shit, another later flag after Son scores!
What?
-
FUCK.
-
And relax! Villa win.
-
Just fucking blow ref
-
Boom!!
-
And relax! Villa win.
Better
-
Holy shit, another later flag after Son scores!
These offsides will be the death of me!
-
Phew! Europe is still on!
-
Yes yes yes.
-
Haha fuck off you cheating fuckers.
-
Well done lads. a double with Warwick winning.
-
Three days offside. Never concerned here.
-
Kane getting pelters from the fans
-
Holy shit, another later flag after Son scores!
They let all of these clear offsides go these days, let them shoot, then flag when the score of miss, and let VAR correct them if they go it wrong. It slows things down loads, but that was the sort of decision the linesman flags instantly in the pre-VAR days.
-
That is a stunning result! Fantastic stuff. If we take those first half chances, this second half is a doddle.
-
FUCK.
This gave me heart palpitations
-
Pleased with a win but we should have killed them off in the first half. You can never rule out ludicrous referees favouring one of the alleged top teams. Thankfully Spuds are crap and couldn’t capitalise.
-
FUCK.
This gave me heart palpitations
Sorry. I saw the update on flashscore then it was corrected.
