Solid team
-
Wow, way stronger than I expected. Please win, Villa.
-
Very high risk. If anything happens to Kamara or Rogers in this game I will be furious.
-
Hmm.
-
We’re stronger than expected, they’re weaker than expected
Let’s batter the tossers.
-
I'm feeling a bit more up for the cup with that team.
-
Nobody can claim he's not taking it seriously then.
Welcome back Ty.
-
Wow, way stronger than I expected. Please win, Villa.
Yeah, that has surprised me. Changing my prediction to a villa win.
-
We’re stronger than expected, they’re weaker than expected
That's pretty much the strongest team they have available.
-
Way stronger than expected. Shame Alysson doesn’t make it.
-
I thought Spurs would be stronger. We have a very good line up.
-
Emery the little scamp hinting Allyson would be involved.
That team is good enough to win this game.
Early goal and Spuds fans will go toxic
-
Yep, best news there is on the subs bench
I am surprised that we are starting with a team that wouldn't raise an eyebrow if selected for a league match
-
Reserves? They’re all first teamers aren’t they?
-
Great to see Pau back. Would have liked to have seen Malen together with Watkins together up front.
Richarlison leading the Spursy attack. Palihnha and Gray not the greatest midfield, we should be able to get through them quite easily.
-
Good line-up. Let's win!
-
We’re stronger than expected, they’re weaker than expected
Let’s batter the tossers.
That's about as strong as they can go.
-
Very high risk. If anything happens to Kamara or Rogers in this game I will be furious.
And if we win I guess your happiness won't match the alternate fury.
-
I am surprised that we are starting with a team that wouldn't raise an eyebrow if selected for a league match
Surprising, but it's the least 9,000 fans travelling in this weather deserve.
-
Nice, didn’t expect such a strong side. Come on Villa!
-
Stronger than I thought we’d be. He’s obviously seen the Palace result and realised it’s now our year
-
I'm feeling a bit more up for the cup with that team.
With Palace out. We can beat anyone. The FA Cup - It's coming home
-
Solanke who wasn’t ready to come back is on the bench.
-
I'm feeling a bit more up for the cup with that team.
With Palace out. We can beat anyone. The FA Cup - It's coming home
Stop it!
-
FTF 8)
-
Very strong line up, I fancy us.
-
Very strong line up, I fancy us.
So do I, we're very good looking.
-
Wow, way stronger than I expected. Please win, Villa.
Yep, didn’t expect that. Chuffed though. Come on me Villa babbies!
-
I'm feeling a bit more up for the cup with that team.
With Palace out. We can beat anyone. The FA Cup - It's coming home
The treble is on! :)
-
If we lose to these clowns it will be more shameful than Palace losing at Macc.
-
If we lose to these clowns it will be more shameful than Palace losing at Macc.
Bit harsh
-
Oh Danny Mills is being annoying already, I see.
-
I remember being jealous of Spurs when they had Bale and were in the CL regularly while we were playing Tonev, Sylla and having Lescott tweet about his fucking car.
They're almost as shit now as we were the 8)
What a time to be alive.
-
Can hear the villa, even now
-
Everyone positive about us, damn BBC bias!
-
Murphy says 2-1 Villa. So that's fucked that then.
-
Oh Danny Mills is being annoying already, I see.
At least he’s got us for a win….
-
Oh no - not the black kit!!!
-
Evening
I though SJM looked a bit leggy against Palace and thought he would get a break and dont like little Emi starting but quite a strong line up . No brazillian on the bench after all.
Sancho not getting a start shows how under par he has been.
-
Black kit... Well there's always next year
-
Oh no - not the black kit!!!
That's it, we're fucked. That shirt is cursed.
-
Apparently it's easy to forget that Villa didn't score a goal in their first four games. No it isn't - the media tell us every single match!
-
Trumpet wankers. Hope he's using the one from American Pie.
-
Murphy says 2-1 Villa. So that's fucked that then.
I love Danny Murphy, my favourite pundit 🙄
-
Trumpet wankers.
It's proper shite, that, isn't it?
-
The big question is, is it worse than West Ham's 'Bubbles'?
-
How is that not a fucking booking on Bouba
-
The big question is, is it worse than West Ham's 'Bubbles'?
You may as well ask us whether we prefer Boyzone or Westlife.
-
He doesn't seem to be walking it off too fast at the moment.
-
Dirty fuckers. Cask and Kamara in quick succession.
-
Fcuking hell Simon’s is a Cnut
-
Bollocks
-
that has to be a card .. nasty tackle
-
How was that not a yellow FFS
-
Any chance of a yellow card
-
Kamara off straight away through injury.
-
2 bad challenges on us already, no booking..
-
Cynical foul and no yellow.
-
FFS what did I say, absolutely awful decision to pick Kamara today. I wouldn’t bring on Tielemans either, we don’t have the squad for this.
-
How is that not a fucking booking on Bouba
Too early in the game, apparently
-
Oh no, not Kamara.
Alan says it’s a naughty tackle.
-
Surely he’s not done his knee after that
-
Fuck the FA Cup. Needless games in subzero temperatures just ups the injury risk.
-
Ref is a coward not giving a yellow there, and we're left weakened by it whilst they go pretty much unpunished.
-
FFS Bouba injured by a spuds prick who should've had a yellow.
-
Don’t know why we’ve picked Kamara for this and how the fuck is that not a booking.
-
hoping just a dead leg
-
FFS - awful challange - should have been a yellow
-
So let me get this straight: if it's after 25mins it's a yellow card,but not after 5?
-
Surely he’s not done his knee after that
Contact was directly on it. Could easily have strained ligaments minimum.
-
that has to be a card .. nasty tackle
It was disgusting.
How can this twat referee in commentary allowed to chat shit like that ?
No booking because it’s too early in the game ??
A foul is a fucking foul.
-
Paulinha you wanker. I bet Spurs fans are creaming over this.
-
Darren Canns comments say everything about the standard of officiating... that's 1 all???
-
this is EXACTLY what Vidagany was talking about, and it needs to stop.
-
Fucks’ sake.
-
I feel that we need to now have a years-long vendetta against whoever that was like these losers have with Cash.
-
FFS what did I say, absolutely awful decision to pick Kamara today. I wouldn’t bring on Tielemans either, we don’t have the squad for this.
Exactly this
-
There goes our season. Fuck off.
-
FFS what did I say, absolutely awful decision to pick Kamara today. I wouldn’t bring on Tielemans either, we don’t have the squad for this.
Awful to pick Kamara for an FA Cup tie for him to be knobbled within 5 minutes? How did you work that out?
-
That fucking blows. Sure he’ll be out for months now
-
I'd rather have lost this tie than lose Kamara for any length of time
-
That’s an utter disaster if it’s anything more than an impact injury.
-
Yet Spurs fans still manage to remember to boo Cash.
-
Who's coming on?
-
I’d honestly rather have pulled out of the cup than risked Bouba in this game, what a disaster.
-
So let me get this straight: if it's after 25mins it's a yellow card,but not after 5?
..and it's to " let the game flow..". The game stopped anyway for the free kick!
-
that has to be a card .. nasty tackle
It was disgusting.

A foul is a fucking foul.
It was filty hard tackle, and cynical.
-
FFS what did I say, absolutely awful decision to pick Kamara today. I wouldn’t bring on Tielemans either, we don’t have the squad for this.
Exactly this
I feel the same with Onana still out. Unnecessary risk and it’s backfired.
-

Awful to pick Kamara for an FA Cup tie for him to be knobbled within 5 minutes? How did you work that out?
Definitely shouldn't have started.
-
Fucking dimwit on the BBC saying the Spurs player lucky not to get booked for a tackle on Cash “so it’s one all”.
-
Honestly, this is a scandal. No fucking card. ******.
-
And why we didn’t need to play our best players, this could have a use impact on our season.
Typical Frank team dirty c,,,,s
-
Must have missed the official rule that yhou don't book anyone early on. Twats.
-
How is that not a fucking booking on Bouba
Too early in the game, apparently
that fucks me right off . so if someone gets punced out unconscious first minute its too early to send off . wtf
-
Fucking disgusting 'challenge'. Absolutely no attempt to play the ball. How that's not at least a yellow card?
-
Paulinha has always been a dirty prick. But yeh Matty Cash is hated forever by their fans. Wankers
-
So we want to sacrifice the FA Cup now?
-
2 dirty fucking tackles in 4 minutes and not a whiff of a card. I hope we fucking twat this lot.
-
Unlucky, Malen
-
Well at least now we know that if you want to put a key opposition player out of the game you just need to do it in the first 5 minutes.
-
I feel that we need to now have a years-long vendetta against whoever that was like these losers have with Cash.
Paulinha.He's a ******
-
Cash to score a screamer in the second half.
-
The hindsight told you so's are on.
-
He is virtually the only player in our side who I think we struggle to cope without now.
-
The hindsight told you so's are on.
Having spent years saying the cup has been devalued and how wrong that is.
-
Must have missed the official rule that yhou don't book anyone early on. Twats.
It comes under the Manchester, Liverpool Arsenal section
-
He is virtually the only player in our side who I think we struggle to cope without now.
Doesn't our win percentage plummet when he's not in the team?
-
If the ref had booked Gascoigne for his first challenge in the 1991 Cup final, he wouldn't have contemplated the one that put him out for twelve months.
-
Wonder if our purported interest in Conor Gallagher is about to go up a notch...
-
Villa fans already booing Palinha back it seems.
-
I’d go as far as to say if Bouba was out for the season now we would not make top five or win the Europa League. I’m more nervous about hearing the verdict on the injury than this game.
-
Piggy Dowd, LCF ... the ref who didn't want to "spoil" the game ...
-
Losing Kamara is absolutely the worst possible scenario.
-
Dear Lord.
-
Gallagher to replace him no bother.
-
Gallagher to replace him no bother.
Massive bother.
-
I’d go as far as to say if Bouba was out for the season now we would not make top five or win the Europa League. I’m more nervous about hearing the verdict on the injury than this game.
It's a concern for sure but I wouldn't go this far.
-
Sorry, but I have to point out that Ginny is having a mare so far.
-
The hindsight told you so's are on.
Having spent years saying the cup has been devalued and how wrong that is.
I don't understand??
-
Bit worried about John McGinn.Not on it so far
-
Good to see them showing Frank filling in his UC form as he'll be out of a job after we twat them.
-

It's a concern for sure but I wouldn't go this far.
I get his point though. If you offered me two boxes, "win today" or "Kamara available for the rest of the season" I'd pick the latter.
-
I am absolutely fucking sick to death with our injuries.
-
Fucking dimwit on the BBC saying the Spurs player lucky not to get booked for a tackle on Cash “so it’s one all”.
Yes, what was that about?
-
Even BBC are following the narrative of the Matty hate FFS
-
We won't be twatting anyone with no defensive midfielders in the team.
-
What money we get a yellow card for our first remotely iffy tackle?
-
It was an awful challange, he should have been booked.
We dont have the advantages of the depth in squad other do. Short of chucking a kid in what could we do. It Barkley or Onana were not injured he probably wouldnt have played.
Kamara would be a big miss - but we managed to finish 4th with him only playing half the season. And its the bloody FA cup - why not try to win it
-
Buendia.....yeahhhhhh
-
Beautiful
-
Get in!!!
-
Get the fuck in
-
As long as Bouba is back next week, it’s like he’s had the game off…which is what people want.
-
Get in!
-
Get the fuck in little emi
-
Emiiiiii
-
lovely goal!!!
-
YESDSSSS!!!!!!
Fabulous move!!
-
Goalllll
-
furget I said I dont like Emi starting :)
-
Lovely goal.
-
Fill that form in quicker Tommy.
-
Well . Superb goal!!!!!
-
Nice goal that.
-
Smash these fuckers.
-
BOOM!!! Emi!!!
-
Get in!!
-
Great goal, fuck these whiny dirty pricks.
-
2 bad challenges on us already, no booking..
The ref pundit said it was 1 bad one each. So evened up
-
World class
-
What a fucking brilliant goal 8)
-
The Little Wizard doesn’t offer us much, eh?
-
Brilliant goal
-
Great from Malen in the build up
-
We won't be twatting anyone with no defensive midfielders in the team.
Sure? :P
-
Shearer called it sensational
-
Guess Unai won't be throwing his coat off in this cold!
Little Emi <3
-
Just before that I was about to post that the ball was blasted against Konsa in the box with not chance of moving his arm and not in any un-natural position and ref calls it straight away (well after to Spurs fans AND the crowd shouted).
-
Great from Malen in the build up
All the passes from the back to the front were excellent.
-
We won't be twatting anyone with no defensive midfielders in the team.
Sure? :P
Less so, now, certainly!
-
Unlucky Cash!
-
A second goal will kill these lot off and the crowd will turn.
-
Great from Malen in the build up
All the passes from the back to the front were excellent.
They were, but Malen specifically, given his involved three Spurs all trying to take the ball off him.
-
Buendia needs to get that mole checked out.
-
Oh that's a shame :(
-
How are those hammies Nose boy!?
-
Richarlison done for the day
-
Why is bbc commentator going on about West Ham??
-
I'll have some cheese with that ham you big nosed bastard.
-
Having lost a player to injury i'm not going to gloat over an opposition player doing his hamstring although he is their main threat.
-
Looks like Malen and Rogers are swapping positions regularly.
-
Richarlison done for the day
Shame type of game he always missing
-
The cold makes these injuries more likely.
-
Having lost a player to injury i'm not going to gloat over an opposition player doing his hamstring although he is their main threat.
Yeah me to.
-
Another wrong decision from the ref.They're mounting up
-
What is this shit.
Their player injured and Frank whipping out the iPad and giving tactical instructions to the rest of the side.
When did this come in.
-
When we are on the attack, it looks like Maatsen has acres of space in front of him. We need to get the ball to him.
-
What is this shit.
Their player injured and Frank whipping out the iPad and giving tactical instructions to the rest of the side.
When did this come in.
That's alright, his tactics have hardly worked all season.
-
Happens regularly. Emery has done it before when a large break in play has happened.
-
He was asking Grok what to do next.
-
I'm not going to express my usual opinion of Muani because it will make him suddenly morph into Thierry Henry.
-
What is this shit.
Their player injured and Frank whipping out the iPad and giving tactical instructions to the rest of the side.
When did this come in.
Traded in his gigantic board and magnets.
-
Need a second before half time they can’t be this bad second half.
-
What is this shit.
Their player injured and Frank whipping out the iPad and giving tactical instructions to the rest of the side.
When did this come in.
He was on Indeed looking at vacancies....
-
I love to see the Villa players hunting in packs to win the ball back.
-
We're so much better than them that I start to feel sorry for them, then remember it's Spurs and just enjoy it.
-
What a ball,from rogers
-
Need Matthew Cash to score a few
-
"Are you Exeter in disguise"
-
Bizot is far too slow and complacent with the ball.
-
Wake up call
-
Spurs top looks like a vest from M&S
-
So we have decided to leave three up front so six players are outside the box in response to the issues with Emi getting jostled at corners. Innovative I suppose!
-
That was a bit easy going through us though.
-
Spurs top looks like a vest from M&S
Does anyone know why the have an invisible badge and sponsor?

Looks absolutely stupid
-

Some anniversary or another.
Same reason why they haven't got names on the back either.
-
McGinn ended up at the Emirates he was done so much.
-
Spurs top looks like a vest from M&S
Does anyone know why the have an invisible badge and sponsor?
It's supposed to be a replica of their 1901 shirt ( which must of had an invisible badge and arm sponser).
-
This like watching England losing at home. The fucking commentary. Everything. Honestly, infuriating.
-

125 years since winning it for the first time. Onbvious no sponsers back then so there way of wearing a tribute shirt without having to give money back to the sponser.
-
Fucking he’ll mcginn

125 anniversary of them winning the FA cup as a non-league side, the only time it has happened.
-

TNT or BBC? TNT is pretty poor.
-
Fuck yeah!
-
Yes.
-
Morgan....YEAHHHH
-
Game over ….go on morgs !!!!!
-
Yep
-
Yessss!
-
Get in Rodgers
-
Start drinking from that cup Franky boy.
-
Easy. easy. easy
-
Great time to score a second.
-
Well done Rogers. Passed through them again.
-
Good touch from Emi.....he's turned up today.
-
What a superb goal
-
Buendia is central to everything good from us
-
Knife through butter. We look superb.
-
Great flick from Emi
-
Has been awesome today
-
Glad SJM is improving.
-
Been a long time since both Buendia and Rogers scored away to Spurs.
-
Spurs fans going for a piss or an early train?
-
That touch from Buendia was pure sex
-
Come Cash hurry up and score, that will really annoy the B**"tards
-
Super goal. Bogarde and youri controlling the game.
-
Wow...what a goal. We have been brilliant. They cannot cope with us.
-
Buendia's touch, goodness me that's pure sex.
-
"Sacked in the morning"
-
In the time added on for Kamara's injury. Poetic justice.
-
Really good football and top finish but their defence is awful, so fucking passive.
-
In the time added on for Kamara's injury. Poetic justice.
Indeed
-
Fucking hell, we are such a good side at times.
-
Been a long time since both Buendia and Rogers scored away to Spurs.
Arf!
-
This like watching England losing at home. The fucking commentary. Everything. Honestly, infuriating.
TNT or BBC? TNT is pretty poor.
BBC has been excellent.
-
Remember when we were a crap team - in the dark days - not so long ago, we'd get taken apart just like that.
And wonder - how can they be so much better than we are?
-
A second goal will kill these lot off and the crowd will turn.
Ahem
-
Spurs fans going for a piss or an early train?
Or both.
-
Thomas Frank is an Arsenal fan from our fans lol!
-
Looks like we're having a go again this year
-
That Spurs shirt would make a great cum rag.
-
In the time added on for Kamara's injury. Poetic justice.
Lovely point
-
Game over ….go on morgs !!!!!
Shhhhhhhhhhh.
-
They’re shit, we are really good. Hope Kamara is OK.
-
Complete control as the Clash once sang.
-
This like watching England losing at home. The fucking commentary. Everything. Honestly, infuriating.
TNT or BBC? TNT is pretty poor.
BBC has been excellent.
Until bloody Micah turned up...he's bloody everywhere.
-
To commemorate 125 years since Spurs won the cup as a non league team, they will today play like a non league team.
-
This like watching England losing at home. The fucking commentary. Everything. Honestly, infuriating.
TNT or BBC? TNT is pretty poor.
BBC has been excellent.
Helped by the fact that Shearer clearly loves watching us, talks like he wishes he was still playing and could be in a team like this.
-
😂😂😂
YOU CAN'T DODGE THE RODGE!
-
As a famous philosopher once said, "nothing's gonna stop us now".
-
That touch from Buendia was *chef’s kiss*
-
😂😂😂
YOU CAN'T DODGE THE RODGE!
You can't bury the Emi...that will cost you if you want to use that.
-
Remember when we were a crap team - in the dark days - not so long ago, we'd get taken apart just like that.
And wonder - how can they be so much better than we are?
For years and years we'd play teams that much better and it was like they were playing a different sport to us.
-
Buendia's best half for years. Absolute class. Supreme confidence from the boys. Keep it tight for first 20 of 2nd half and the third should come...
-
The curse of the black kit has a lot of work to do in the 2nd half to overcome Spurs' sloppiness.
-
Come Cash hurry up and score, that will really annoy the B**"tards
:D
-
Been a long time since both Buendia and Rogers scored away to Spurs.
Ha ha
-
Great first half, excellent goals. Spurs really are shite….more goals in this game if we want them.
-
Come Cash hurry up and score, that will really annoy the B**"tards
:D
Yes please!!
-
😂😂😂
YOU CAN'T DODGE THE RODGE!
You can't bury the Emi...that will cost you if you want to use that.
Was thinking more like:
You must fear Buendia.
But I'll keep yours in mind.

"Hold my Beer".
-
Brilliant (so far).
-
Has Danny Murphy had some sort of football appreciation transplant ?
He’s actually giving us high praise.
-
The commentary team sounds so gutted with the current status. Shame
-
That's the best 45 minutes we've played this season. The difference it makes having technically talented players who are so comfortable and confident with the ball. Rogers, Malen and Buendia are a joy to watch.
Disgusted with the ref for the two Spurs assaults in the first few minutes. Palhinha had no intention of playing the ball and we may lose Bouba for a few weeks now. Disgusting, cowardly challenge.
-
So easy isn't it. Only complacency can cost us now but I can see us scoring another two goals here especially if we put Ollie on.
Can remember just over a decade ago Spurs coming to VP in league cup and beating us 4-0 without breaking sweat. They were in a different league to us in that era.
Now we do it to them and long may it continue.
-
Has Danny Murphy had some sort of football appreciation transplant ?

Yeh he seems to have changed his tune towards us a lot
-
Great away performance in the first half there. Been solid at the back and looked dangerous on the counter attack. First goal was real quality.
-
BBC. The context is, still, that this is a shock.
Let the game breathe. ******.
-

Yeh he seems to have changed his tune towards us a lot
but disagrees with Micah on the 2 yellows that should have been given
-
Sam Matterface ‘Villa have the credentials to consider themselves to be possibly the third best team in the country.’
-
Micah!! Sense at last! Yellow card is a yellow card
-
Reminds me of when Spurs would turn up at VP, play a different sport to us and leave with a 3 or 4 goal victory, that flattered us. Like during 15-0 week.
-
Remember when we were a crap team - in the dark days - not so long ago, we'd get taken apart just like that.
And wonder - how can they be so much better than we are?
For years and years we'd play teams that much better and it was like they were playing a different sport to us.
Remember playing ManU year after year after year and sometimes we'd be the better team for an hour or more and still lose by one or two or 3.

Whilst they have Paulinha and Simons playing, they are suprisingly not being very physical or athletic in midfield and that also helps. The few times they have upped the pace they have sneaked the ball and looked slightly dangerous.
-

Bale and Modric in 3rd gear or even Waddle and Clive Allen back in the dark age 40 years ago
-
Spurs fans joining in with Villa fans in singing ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’ at Thomas Frank. It’s never been this bad and toxic in here. This can’t go on.
Says a spurs fan on X
-
The worry (apart from Kamara)is that our crap half is to come...
-
😂😂😂
YOU CAN'T DODGE THE RODGE!
You can't bury the Emi...that will cost you if you want to use that.
Or Emi gives Smirks a semi.
-
sha 2 up, there's the 4th round tie.
-
Sam Matterface ‘Villa have the credentials to consider themselves to be possibly the third best team in the country.’
Well thanks for that. Let's hope he means over the course of the whole season, as opposed to the first half of the game or season.
-

Disgusted with the ref for the two Spurs assaults in the first few minutes. Palhinha had no intention of playing the ball and we may lose Bouba for a few weeks now. Disgusting, cowardly challenge.
Whilst they have Paulinha and Simons playing, they are suprisingly not being very physical or athletic in midfield and that also helps. The few times they have upped the pace they have sneaked the ball and looked slightly dangerous.
The way we've been moving the ball you could put Hoddle, Gaza and Ardiles on for them and we'd just pass it around them.

Beeb big6 lovers oozing sympathy for Spurs and their first day of the Somme casualty list.
-
Oh when the Spurs go marching out, by the looks of it.
-
Beeb big6 lovers oozing sympathy for Spurs and their first day of the Somme casualty list.
They've also been full of praise for us.
-
Is Shearer on dry January. This is 2nd week running he is lucid?
-
Emery needed a big shit so waited until the changing rooms had emptied. Class act.
-
Beeb big6 lovers oozing sympathy for Spurs and their first day of the Somme casualty list.
They've also been full of praise for us.
Yeah, I'm not sure how much more praise people want.
-
Why are there only numbers and no names on the rear of the Spurs shirts?
-
Never seen a team hug each one another so much before a game like Spurs do. That's probably why they're so scrap, too many hugs.
-
Why are there only numbers and no names on the rear of the Spurs shirts?
Some sort of FA Cup special Anniversary kit.
-
Emery needed a big shit so waited until the changing rooms had emptied. Class act.
He didn’t look completely relieved headed back to his seat. Like job not entirely finished.
-
Maatsen looks the business at LB now.
Dealing with their high diagonals with ease.
-
Why are there only numbers and no names on the rear of the Spurs shirts?
Anniversary kit.
-
Why is no-one tight on Tielemans. So obvious to a blind man.
-
All a bit Britney Spears inside the stadium
-
The natives are very restless.
-
Ta.
-
At least there's no Harewood to come on and fuck up us being in control against a Spurs side celebrating an anniversary.
-
Emery needed a big shit so waited until the changing rooms had emptied. Class act.
He didn’t look completely relieved headed back to his seat. Like job not entirely finished.
Yeah, would like a third and some more Spurs boos.
-
Buendia's been amazing tonight.
-
FFS Rogers, not there.
-
Good save Bizot
-
a couple of slack rogers touches last few secs . keep it tight Villa
-
Good stop, Bizot.
-
Sloppy defending.
-
Fcuking hell don’t let these cnuts get momentum
-
Loose from Rogers there. Solid stop from Bizot.
-
Emery needed a big shit so waited until the changing rooms had emptied. Class act.
He didn’t look completely relieved headed back to his seat. Like job not entirely finished.
Yeah, would like a third and some more Spurs boos.
Oh I meant he didn’t have a good poop and still has work to do after.
-
Independent pundit glen hoddle on TNT
-
Shit.
-
Ha Ha, look at that 4th official shitting his pants on Unai putting a toe outside area. Bollocks.
-
FFS!
-
Crap
-
Crap
-
Bogarde too weak.
We have come out to slack all over.
-
They’re shite but we can’t afford to get complacent here.
-
Fuck…and there it is.
-
Fuck sake. That’s on Lamare losing the ball
-
We've been ridiculously sloppy here. Complacent.
-
Bogarde too weak.
We have come out to slack all over.
Not just Bogarde. There has been less energy from the central mid.
-
Complacency bites us.
-
Fcuking hell how often do we do this
-
FFS here we go.
-
Another save by Bizot. All Spurs now
-
Hoddle on Spurs games is like Keown on Arsenal ones.
-
Fickle spurs fans only alive now
-
Thats not a foul then? What ever.
-
Need McGinn to get on the ball as we have gone very flat since half time.
Feels like Unai just told us to rest for first 20 minutes and that's not a good mix with Spurs needing to play with far more energy.
-
Getting battered.
-
It’s a clear foul on Bogarde
-
Martinez would have stopped that.
-
Finally a booking, Gray for them.
-
Need to weather this storm. From completely comfortable to this. Very poor by us thinking the job was done.
-
They've got more aggressive.And a yellow at last.
-
Get a grip villa
-
Watkins on now please for Malen
-
Gone to shit
-
We can’t keep giving the ball away with stupid, sloppy passing in midfield
-
This is where we're missing Kamara.
Bogarde getting too easily sucked into the press. Don't want Simons running too often at our backline.
-
Why can we never just go 2-0 ahead. Then put a game to bed. It hardly ever happens.
-
We haven’t dealt with this well since they scored.
-
We looked class in the first half
-
Everyone still enjoying the ever so fair BBC coverage?
-
These are fucking shit as well.
-
Need Ollie now because Malen is not a player who can hold the ball up
-
Fuck sake Villa please score again so we don’t have to hear that shit slow Spurs go marching in song. Fuck me it’s so annoying
-
They're praising the side battering the other, just like they did in the first half.
-
This now is what we're going to get at Newcastle from kick off in a few weeks so we need to be more prepared than we are currently.
-
Mcginn needs to wake the fuck up. Caught in possession again
-
Here comes Ollie
-
Oh and fucking Sancho
-
Sancho coming on.
-
They're praising the side battering the other, just like they did in the first half.
Yeah, it's fine.
-
Good sub. Ollie will help hold the ball up top. Emery not happy
-
Sancho FFS
-
Has Paulinho been booked yet?
-
Sancho FFS
Well, we are in a battle now and we need our fighters
-
I reckon Sancho will score.
-
Not a game for Sancho ...
-
BBC commentator definitely wants Spurs to win
-
I assume Malen and Buendia going off
-
Referee giving us nothing again
-
Stupid haircuts.
-
Sancho for mcginn ffs
-
Prove em wrong Jadon.
-
Yay this has been calling out for a player like Sancho to really get stuck in and put a foot on the ball.
-
Struggling to keep possession as it is and now we’re down to 10 men.
-
Sancho for mcginn ffs
McGinn not at his best
-
When is Simon’s going to get booked?
-
They keep winning the 50/50s
-
Bogarde has struggled a bit in this onslaught.
Lots of responsibility on him now with McGinn off.
If the option is there to sign Conor Gallagher this window we need to take it.
-
Did Lambert take over at HT?
-
Hoddle. Shut the fuck up.
-
Sancho for mcginn ffs
McGinn not at his best
Wait 'till you see Sancho...
-
Did Lambert take over at HT?
Remi Remi sort it out Remi you Cnut.
-
Good sub. Ollie will help hold the ball up top. Emery not happy
Ace. Hasn’t held the ball once since coming on.
-
Well done Ollie, let that cynical prick have it.
-
Why have we decided to stop playing ?
Spurs are fucking shit and yet we are making them look fantastic
-
Living dangerously.
-
rogers needs to sort it out
expect a worldie now
-
Buendia booked for nothing compared to the early ones.
-
What has happened since half time 😞
-
They were always going to have a good spell.
-
Good sub. Ollie will help hold the ball up top. Emery not happy
Ace. Hasn’t held the ball once since coming on.
He's been double marked
-
Need to man up
-
We don’t have a midlfield now.
-
The are making us look like Spurs
-
Thus is our poor half.
-
An absolute rabble 2nd half, desperate stuff..
-
Palinhinha not getting booked again, this is a joke.
-
Ref is a helmet
-
no booking ??
-
Rogers fucking calm down.
-
Palinhinha not getting booked again, this is a joke.
Agreed.
-
Rogers has been cack this half. Mind you most of them have been. Bizot our second half motm so far.
-
How has he avoided a yellow card? Yet again
-
Palinhinha not getting booked again, this is a joke.
should be off..
-
How is that twat not been booked yet ffs?!
-
Thus is our poor half.
Spurs were never going to be as poor this half
-
They are all suddenly twice as strong as our lot
-
Bogarde again.
-
Are we Tottenham in disguise
-
Bogey needs to come off
-
bogarde is losing it
-
Bogarde was so good first half but has struggled this half.
-
How Palinhinha hasnt been booked is unreal. He shouldnt still be on the pitch
-
Bogarde FFS.
-
Teams are allowed to kick lumps out of us. It's honestly every game.
-
Such a weird game. Totally dominated the first half in 3rd gear now this shambles.
-
They upped it once or twice in the first half and caught us including the offside goal. But our players have also stopped our tempo.
Bogarde getting caught too much now.
-
Bogarde again.
He’s had a nightmare second half
-
Bogey is getting overrun with no Booby or SJM.
-
Bogarde has a lot to learn.
-
Bogarde again.
He isn't good enough to start these type of games yet. Newcastle away would gobble him up, chew him about and spit him out based on this second half.
-
Nearly
-
Fuck me off the line
-
Almost a third. Come on Villa.
-
The ref's failure to get a grip early on is having consequences.
Spurs thinking they can get away with anything.
Villa responding - bookings mounting.
-
Balls so close
-
Balls so close
See a doctor.
-
sancho doing ok
-
Starting to get into their box again.
-
Need to take one of these chances.
-
The ref's failure to get a grip early on is having consequences.
Spurs thinking they can get away with anything.
Villa responding - bookings mounting.
Spot on and pathetic reasoning as to why from the ex refs. I mean , "let the game breath for a few minutes"... Withers it's bookable offence or it's not.
-
Starting to get into their box again.

-
Sancho done well since coming on.
Should've got a return ball instead of Rogers hitting a speculative shot.
-
sancho doing ok
He is. Open game should suit him
-
Second half not great.
-
Bogey has a bad patch - but seems to have got his motor bsck.
-
Garcia and Digne on for Cash and Ian
-
Digne and Garcia on for Maatsen and Cash.
-
sancho doing ok
He is. Open game should suit him
He’s been good.
-
I like Sancho wide on left with Maatsen inverting inside into the gap
-
Lesser Spotted Garcia.
-
Porro loves a waggy finger the gormless twat.
-

Penalty - well I've seen them given.
Irrelevant. Was it a pen?
-
Are Spurs shirts inside out?
-
Thank fuck offside
-
That twat number 6 is trying to set a record for the most amount of files without getting a yellow card
-
We are letting Simons run the game
-
Well the cards are coming now.******.
-
Commentator, foul but he has sheer force of will. What a wanker.
-
but paulinho never gets a bbooking wtf
-
Are Spurs shirts inside out?
Why didn’t Barry take the penalty?
-
Been way too easy for Xavi Simons to run infield second half.
-
Any sign of Kamara back out on the bench?
-
We are letting Simons run the game
Comes from the cynical hobbling of Kamara.
-
This referee. Fucking c**t.
-
but paulinho never gets a bbooking wtf
Everyone else has except him.
-
They are jumping pn Bogarde as soon as the ball is played. Fuck knows what yellow was in there though. Oh yes, he didn't do it in the free period.
-
Commentator, foul but he has sheer force of will. What a wanker.
had he have been booked to n the first half he would not have been able to do that
-
Ref has been absolutely abysmal, from the first minute.
-
Ollie will put this game to bed soon.
-
sowankie coming on .
-
Solanke just finishing a Yakult before coming on.
-
Thomas Frank going full Paul Lambert and putting on all his forward players
-
Ref has been absolutely abysmal, from the first minute.
Agreed. Absolutely
-
Need to do the simple things
-
Thomas Frank going full Paul Lambert and putting on all his forward players
Why not?
-
Worried.
-
Solanke just finishing a Yakult before coming on.
Sensibly staying away from the theatre of combat.
-
We're missing the calmness of Kamara and the drive of Onana.
-
Fucking sancho
-
That booking for Garcia is exactly why letting one go early is so fucking dumb, if subs can be booked after 2 minutes so can starters.
-
It says a lot about the ref when both sets of players and fans are annoyed at him.
-
HAAAAAHAAAAA Porro you gimp.
-
Fuck me. Finally.
-
paulinho wanker
-
Palinha's card 80 minutes too late
-
Hope Rogers isn't fucked.
-
That should be Palhinha off.
-
That pulinha c unt is not being committed.
He is completely out of fucking control
-
Hoddle is going full Martin Keown now. The prick.
-
Scandal it has taken Palhinha until 85 minute for a booking.
Just get Rogers off now. Not worth him getting injury in this game to add to Kamara.
This reminds me of Brentford away two years ago. We won the game but Pau got injured for a few months and Kamara got sent off and that caused a dip in form.
-
Tielemans being stupid. Just glad there is no VAR.
-
Ref tonight, disgrace
-
CAn we please win a 50 50!
-
Garcia very much looks like someone who's barely played since April.
-
garcia has to hit that across first time
-
Dirty fuckers these lot
-
Dirty bastards
-
Garcia very much looks like someone who's barely played since April.
no surprise!
-
Ref tonight, disgrace
Two footer by Palinha - he did Kamara in the first half.
-
We're missing the calmness of Kamara and the drive of Onana.
We're also missing Martinez with his shithousery.
-
He's a fucking terrible ref...he's done this a dozen times.
-
Fucking wanker ref. Where is the fucking advantage
-
Bogarde getting cramp and no more subs.
-
garcia has to hit that across first time
Or just hit it
-
Just need to see this out without anyone getting injured, Spurs kicking lumps out of us..
-
Sorry but that was never a booking for Paulinho. Rogers did well to take the sting out of the game though.
-
these are a bunch of dirty fuckers
-
Who's this vicar ref the BBC defer to?
-
Seriously, this ref needs sacking. He's a fucking disaster.
-
Bogarde getting cramp and no more subs.
Garcia also looks like he'd massively struggle if this went into extra time.
We need calm heads now when passing.
-
Sorry but that was never a booking for Paulinho. Rogers did well to take the sting out of the game though.
It was booking because it was about the 5th one.
-
Ref watches the play, sees an attack and calls back. Although I think Watkins was offside.
-
Got to say, Ollie has been poor since coming on
-
Commentators are so biased it’s laughable!
-
Spurs doing a good impression of Revie's Leeds.
-
Shearer has been full of praise for us
-
Sorry but that was never a booking for Paulinho. Rogers did well to take the sting out of the game though.
Maybe he had second thoughts about the dozen other fouls he has got away with.
-
Shocked only 4 mins extra
-
I fucking hate this lot.
-
Sensible pick for MOTM
-
Have we used up all our subs already? Feels like half this team needs to come off.
-
Seriously, this ref needs sacking. He's a fucking disaster.
he has allowed Spurs to get away with murder..
-
Yes. Booby early and then two each the next two times.
-
This referee. Fucking c**t.
He has been appalling
-
I think spurs players will kick off at full time
-
Close from Watkins.
-
I hope Unai doesn't shake Frank's hand
-
I think spurs players will kick off at full time
I think their fans will.
-
And relax.
-
How many fouls on us there?
-
Phew
-
Fight!!
-
Rogers has lost it….properly
-
And breathe boys and girls
-
Ref was waiting for ages wasn't he.
-
wankers 1 legends 2
-
I hope Unai doesn't shake Frank's hand
He did.
-
Rogers has lost it….properly
He needs to be told to calm the fuck down. We don't want a retrospective punishement.
-
Dirty bastards
-
shove that chewing gum up your arse Frank the wank.
-
I fucking hate this lot.
Didn't, but I do now
-
Good call ajmant.
