Never in doubt.
It's our year.
-
Poor Tottenham losing their shit after the game was funny. Bye Spurs. Wankers. Good result for us in what might have been a tricky game. We made it harder for ourselves than we needed to. First half was as good as we have played. Second not so much.
-
Good match that.I enjoyed it.
-
A very welcome 3 points...
-
Excellent performance, Spurs made it interesting in the 2nd half, but in reality we could (and probably should) have won by more.
-
What is it with North London? Really weird fans and people whether they're Spurs or Arsenal.
Bizarre people.
Villa 8)
-
Great cup tie and we were the better team.
Violet Elizabeth Bott aka as Spurs
-
Great result. How the fuck did Paulinha stay in the pitch? Porro a gobshite too. Thats probably them booing Rogers now for the next ten years.
-
They're such a bunch of antsy pricks.
-
Good performance, stood up to Spurs thuggery and finished the game better. Onwards…..
-
Poor ref. Paulinha (sp?) is one dirty player. When is the draw for the next round?
-
Paulinha can get right in the bin. Hope Kamara is alright
-
Thought Bogarde was immense
-
It will tasty in the league.
-
Palhina is a total wanker.
-
Fuck off, Spurs, and when you have, fuck off some more!
-
The Spurs revival was basically them kicking lumps out of us.
-
Good win, awful cynical bunch of wankers.
Hope Kamara is ok.
-
Thought Bogarde was immense
He was great first half. But was very hit/miss second half with the upped tempo and not winning the challenges / holding off the players challenging.
-
Never heard of the 6 until today. What a little shit.
-
Good performance. Just hope Kamara's injury is nothing serious. Though this being Villa, he's probably already in Hammersmith Hospital having his leg amputated.
-
They had 3 shots.
-
Did the villa win? because BBC twats it's about Spurs
-
Unfortunately, don’t think Frank will be in charge at Spurs when we play them next.
-
What was all that about at the end?
-
They had 3 shots.
13 to our 17.
-
Need to do Palhinha at Villa Park in May...what a dirty bastard
-
That Spurs ****** was trying to knack Rogers and they boo Cash.
Fucking babies.
-
There should be a public holiday on Monday to celebrate Tootenhams amazing second half display. It was beyond belief. According to BBC anyway
-
What was all that about at the end?
Either Morgan Paulino or vice versa - no idea really - but Morgan was pretty riled with him. Paulino should have been sent off
-
We did nearly 200 more passes than them.
-
I shit you not, BBC:
Summary
Tottenham win 2-1 at Aston Villa in FA Cup third round
-
It was a tache off.
-
What was all that about at the end?
Rogers celebrating in front of the Villa fans I think. How dare he.
-

They were desperate for Sourzzz not to be shit
-

There just picking the right place to build the statue to those bold lads
-
Now we are on about Bellingham and Rodgers for England, please fuck off
-
Lovely stuff.
With Palace out, it’s our year.
-
What was all that about at the end?
Either Morgan Paulino or vice versa - no idea really - but Morgan was pretty riled with him. Paulino should have been sent off
Think they were crying about Rogers celebrating in front of the Villa fans, the tiny babies.
-
Rogers appeared to be buzzing his tits off there. I was expecting him to ask the interviewer if she wanted a massage.
-
Proper cup tie that was. Even Watkins got a bit nasty which we rarely see.
Today will only be good if Kamara doesn't have a long-time injury.
-
We are playing very good mostly now. Injury to Bouba obviously the downer, difficult to predict by the pictures how long will be out. Hoping also Matrinez back next game.
-
The ref fucked up by not booking Palhina first minute. Spurs also knew no VAR meant they could foul without retribution. He should have gone for certain and was fouling Rogers with intent. He wanted to hurt him the fucker...
-
Well done Villa boys!
Spurs are dirty knuts!
The ref was poor again. Paulinho is a thug and should have been booked long before he was. He should have been sent off for his thuggery!
Buendia gets a booking for a slight sleeve tug and the thug gets away with assaults throughout the game. Little wonder refs are accused of being corrupt.
Fuck off spuds!
Proud of the Villans!
-
Tottenham and now nothing more than a weird face Frank team. Shit wankers got it off us today, we were the only football team on that pitch.
-

That's what I thought, how bizarre! Obviously worrying for their places now that Frank will be sacked.
-
As with most teams we beat its because our players are "masters of the dark arts." This on the Spurs forum. They were kicking the shit out of our lot 2nd half.
-
Spurs fans want passion according to Micah Richards,yea it's okay to kick the shit out of Rodgers unless of course if it's Manchester City or Arsenal and fuck off with the spurs injury list I heard it all before
-
I am annoyed we let these arseholes back in it. We got sloppy start of 2nd half
-
Proper cup tie that was. Even Watkins got a bit nasty which we rarely see.
Today will only be good if Kamara doesn't have a long-time injury.
Watkins got nasty after Palhinha tried to do him 2 mins after coming on. What he got away with tonight was unbelievable.
-
Surely Kamara was just an impact injury/dead leg? Should be absolutely fine.
First half was very good. Felt we got a bit complacent which allowed them back into the game but once we settled down we controlled it relatively comfortably
-
Never heard of the 6 until today. What a little shit.
He's famous for making more tackles than pretty much anyone else in the league.
I thought that was interesting and kept an eye on him when we played Fulham a couple of years back, then laughed like a hyena when McGinn sat him on his boney arse with the most obvious shoulder drop in the world and pinged it into the corner from 20 yards.
-
BBC we’re doing ok until full time. It’s all talk about spurs. Did we win?
-
Fuck spurs. Fuck theBBC. Fuck Micah Richards. Fuck Paulinha. Fuck the referee.
FUCK ALL OF YOU ******. The VILLA ARE COMING.
-
Surely Kamara was just an impact injury/dead leg? Should be absolutely fine.
First half was very good. Felt we got a bit complacent which allowed them back into the game but once we settled down we controlled it relatively comfortably
Looked like a knock on or just below the knee to me. Imagine it will be badly swollen for a few days at least.
-

Watkins got nasty after Palhinha tried to do him 2 mins after coming on. What he got away with tonight was unbelievable.
It took the ref 3 fouls to book him but he booked Garcia 2 minutes after he came on.
-
I thought Spurs thought of themselves as some sort of Brazil who will only play attractive, attacking football?
Absolute thugs. The team trying to play football won.
-

The impact seemed to be on his knee and it seemed to be holding his kneecap /back of the knee when trying to walk it off. Hopefully it is nothing but also not sure if it was the same knee as his previous injury.
-
Shut up Micah. Who knew that Danny Mills would be the voice of reason!??
-
They were always going to have a 15 minute spell and once we stopped fannying about, we killed it stone dead.
No doubt we'll get Man City away in the 4th round but we really are the real deal these days and should fear no one.
-
Fear no one.
-
We have to get out of the habit of dropping off when well in front. Rogers far too casual second half, Bogarde got caught out twice, the first leading to their goal. They have become an ugly side.
Buendia is brilliant at times.
-
Pleased with that. Apart from a 15 minute spell in the second half we bossed it. Racking up the wins against spurs now.
-
Villa was excellent first half , The ref let them back into it second half and do their thuggery . Like others said hope Kamara is ok hopefully an impact injury . Pau was great after a long lay off.
At times we was old Brazil . The subs in second half made us regain the game.
Still on for 3 things .
-
Tottenham had a 25 minute spell in the second half, other than that, they were schooled by the beautiful football from Villa. Good as a team, good individual performances today and great to see them all sticking up for one another at the end. I watched on TNT and had to listen to Glenda Twaddle wax lyrical about tough tackles, like he ever tackled anyone!! The twunt. Palhinha tried to 'do' Rogers with that tackle. Two lovely goals from Villa. We were fantastic.
-
Fear no one.
Except Macclesfield!
-
First half was as good as ive seen us under Emery, some of the one touch passing was superb. Their goal made it harder work but overall, we deserved it. Bendy was superb and Bogarde was great as well but you can see why Conor Gallagher in that midfield for Mcginn on 60 (and vice versa) might work.
-
First half was as good as I've seen us all season, both goals came from superb team efforts, their goal changed things, but we saw the game out well in the end.
-
Lovely win. Looking forward to Arsenal away at ludicrous o’clock in the 4th round.
-
Well done Villa boys!
Spurs are dirty knuts!
The ref was poor again. Paulinho is a thug and should have been booked long before he was. He should have been sent off for his thuggery!

Fuck off spuds!
Proud of the Villans!
100%
Season over for those tossers. Palhinha is utter scum but the ref ignored his assaults throughout the game.
Brilliant first half, best we've been in ages, second half pretty routine getting it over the line as usual.
-
We were great first half, they huffed and puffed and kicked us second half, but we dug in and great win.
Why anyone is getting annoyed with the BBC coverage is beyond me, they are talking about villa loads and bigging us up.
Hope Kamara is not badly injured.
-

Buendia is brilliant at times.
Yep, this is one of the reasons we end up winning every game by a single goal and very occasionally fucking up like at Go Ahead Eagles. We start fartjng around and acting like we already won.
That said, the players clawed the initiative back 20 minutes into the second half and we didn't really look under a great deal of threat after that. We came closer to getting another. This talk of their wonderful second half performance is laughable, they ran around more and kicked half our team to pieces.
Here's to a home draw in Round 4.
-
We played in 2nd gear all game and still were on another level to spurs. In fact spurs had to go full throttle to get anything.
Pauliniha was smashing players from the first minute, a early yellow might have calmed him down a bit think he got booked on 82mins.
-
One of my favourite victories against a bunch of cynical cloggers. Overcame a plucky under dog
-
Theyve got Romero and Paulinha trying to maim everyone on the pitch yet they still boo Cash. Hilarious.
-
Will be even more amusing Spurs crying about Matty Cash after they kicked us round the pitch again today. Hypocritical cry babies. Poor losers, despite their experience.
-
All Ollie’s fault
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AcZJVR9zv/?mibextid=wwXIfr
-
20 mins or so before half time (only bit I watched) we played some unreal stuff. Made them look championship standard. How did Torres go? How did Bogarde cope at 6 once Kamara went off? Delighted for Buendia again
-
Do our players understand that cashing out early at 2 nil applies to betting not playing football
-
First half was as good as ive seen us under Emery, some of the one touch passing was superb.
Agreed. I sat there thinking if we can play like this in Europe we'll destroy anybody put in front of us. An absolute joy to watch.
That has to be the benchmark we aim for and anybody we bring in has to have the technical ability to play that way as well as put a shift in obviously.
Oh and fcuk Spurs. Your season is over. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
-
Bogarde had a pretty difficult phase when Spurs were at their best.
-
Great first half, sloppy for most of the second. Ref lost control of the game and they resorted to a some nasty challenges. How Palhinha stayed on the pitch is a mystery as he should have been booked in the first few minutes for that foul on Kamara.
-
We've got a brilliant mentality now.
For some many years Ive seen Villa teams crumble under pressure and even though Spurs had their expected spell in the game, the mental strength we showed after conceding was the sign of a quality squad and of course, its all down to a world class manager.
Players have to do the job, but it's all about Unai Emery.
-
Fuck off Spurs! you're soft and shit.
-
Bogarde made a couple of mistakes today but I think he is going to be a top, top player for us. Strength, poise, brains in abundance. Under the tutorship of Unai, Youri, Bouba, Onana and SJM his future looks great.
Villas flair in the first half and grit in the second half made us worthy winners.
Well done lads.
-
All Ollie’s fault

Torres looked like he’d never been away, calm and class. Bogarde had a really good first half, like all if them. He lost the ball in the build up to their goal and gave the ball away a couple more times, but he did ok to be fair. With Onana apparently out for a few more weeks, and now Kamara getting injured (hopefully not serious) he’s bound to get more game time.
-
Tottenham Tottenham, we always stop them.
-
That was a textbook example of an inadequate ref losing control of a game.
Would never have kicked off if he'd booked a few of their lot earlier on, instead of letting them away with murder.
-
Top performance. Played them off the park in the first half, resilient as they kicked us off the park in the second.
-
All Ollie’s fault
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AcZJVR9zv/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Bronte needs to give Watkins a couple of extra points today. Wonderful pisstake.
-
we've won there more times than they have 😂🤣

Ha ha well done Ollie.
-
Thought Spurs were like a championship team on their big day out, full of venom and mistimed tackles with their “hard man” told to kick lumps out of the shiny prem stars - they were rather embarrassing really. As for the Villa, take the win on to the next round.
-
First half was as good as I've seen us all season, both goals came from superb team efforts, their goal changed things, but we saw the game out well in the end.
Yes, we played some scintillating football in the first half and Glen Hoddle, on TNT, was full of praise for our performance, using the phrase "a well oiled machine".
Frank then clearly advised his team to get physical and make us pay a price for our slickness. And a price will be paid, if I am any judge.

I missed the game as I’ve just take my daughter back to uni. I’ve just seen the goals. Whats going on with the Spurs shirt? It looks all patched up?

It’s hideous! Some anniversary!
Two cracking goals. Brilliant football for both.
-
So impressive how we can adapt. First half, you want to play? We’ll just play you off the park. Second half you want a rumble? No worries, we’ll just shut you down.
-

João deserved more than that for his conduct on the pitch - including kicking Ollie.
-
Great result, brilliant first half performance, we out classed them in every department, if we take this seriously i can see Villa winning this.

-
Attendance 5k short of capacity. We could have sold those easily. I know there's segregation issues but a hell of a lot of us missed out a rare chance to get to an away game today.
-

We took it seriously last season but we finish up playing Palace. Hang on...yes, it's going to be our year !
-
We were class during a first half that Tielemans made yield to his prompting and our attacking artists shone.
There was that nagging doubt though, that Kamara is crocked long term once again. He seemed to be rubbing to the side and back of his left knee. I believe the ACL he did was the right. Still, I'm fearful, it would be a terrible loss and tragic for him in a WC year.
Perhaps to be expected, but we didn't properly pick up the heightened pace at the start of the second half - Bogarde and Rogers, among others, seemed too casual. But we got Tielemans back on the ball after 20 minutes, and imposed our game on them once again.
Spurs were awful first half, and in the second, displayed a casual, end of empire propensity to violence. If they couldn't win, they intended to burn the whole place down.
But we were too good, even for that.
UTV!
-
It’s a great night in London, once again😊
-
What impressed me is how we wrestled back control after their good spell. We were under the cosh for about 20 minutes but then re-asserted ourselves and were easily the better team at the end.
-
We’re developing a great mentality.
Useful minutes for the subs, who acquitted themselves well I thought.
Nice rest until Everton now, while our rivals face some potentially bruising cup games.
-
In the first half I realised why they're such a bunch of moaning Minnies. Second half, players and fans amalgamated into the dripping ball of fuck we've all learned to loathe so much.
-
Also Thomas Frank
"If we played two halves like that, we would have won"
Thanks Thomas. It’s all a lot clearer now.
-

And yet we still had one cleared off the line, and would have had a third if the ref had played advantage.

Spurs fans want passion according to Micah Richards,yea it's okay to kick the shit out of Rodgers unless of course if it's Manchester City or Arsenal and fuck off with the spurs injury list I heard it all before
Richards is without question the biggest fucktard on TV
And that is some achievement bearing in mind the competition.

Once Tyrone came about it all went very quiet very quickly.
-
I chuckled that Ollie just ignored him.
-
Thomas Frank: "I think Ollie was very provoking. He could have just walked around Joao."
What the fuck are you talking about?
Frank will need his Tom Tom soon enough.
Just hope they panic and get someone worse. Like we used too.
-
Thomas Frank: "I think Ollie was very provoking. He could have just walked around Joao."
What the fuck are you talking about?
Well he’s right Ollie walked into him on purpose, the twat deserved it though.
-
Just read the match report on the BBC thingy. They mention Richarlison going off injured but not Kamara.
-
Thomas Frank: "I think Ollie was very provoking. He could have just walked around Joao."

I don’t think he did. Ollie was celebrating with the Villa fans. Did he get a little too close to Paulinha, maybe. But I don’t there is any intent to bump into him. In fact if you look at him it’s almost like he oblivious to where he was. The reaction was way over the top of the cheating, fouling twat.
-
Why is Paulina hanging around by Villa fans anyway?
-
They were defending at that end as we ran it into their area and had a shot deflected over so the ref realised he couldn't justify adding at least two more mins without it becoming obvious. Looks like Paulinha then went and picked up one of his defenders who had collapsed.
-
Seems the BBC thinks losing to us is on par to losing to a team 116 places lower down the pyramid.
FT: Charlton 1-5 Chelsea
A disastrous day for the likes of Crystal Palace and Tottenham.
Not Chelsea.
-
Fair play to Rodgers he's straight in there

And yet we still had one cleared off the line, and would have had a third if the ref had played advantage.
Yea but putting that aside and if they were not playing a competent outfit Frank is bang on right.
-
1st half totally dominated. 2nd half we needed to keep them quiet and nullified them, we let them back in and they had 15 or so mins where they looked a threat. We then came back in to it and saw the game out. To go away at Spuds in the 3rd round and be in the draw is fantastic, but Unai won’t be happy the way we were sloppy and gave the ball away, esp 2nd half.
-
There should be a public holiday on Monday to celebrate Tootenhams amazing second half display. It was beyond belief. According to BBC anyway
The funniest moment was the commentators realising, with 1 minute of injury time to go, that Villa were probably going to win after all.
-
The only way the "entertainment" quota could have been increased was if we'd had a bit of first class Martinez shithousery to really wind up Spuds and their numpty fans.

-
Whats going on with the Spurs shirt? It looks all patched up?
It was to commemorate the end of their season - assuming they avoid relegation.
-
Wiped the floor with them in the first half. Second half pretty even, largely due to their persistent fouling and the ref losing control.
Cue the pundits going on about how great spurs were with zero mention of little old Villa who actually won - shades of the Man Utd and Chelsea games.

For all the "Spurs' second half resurgence" talk, the last six shots of the game were from Villa players, and they didn't have a single attempt at goal in the last 20 minutes.
Seven of their thirteen shots happened in the five minutes around the time of their goal.
It was very much "80 minutes Villa, 10 Spurs"

No quite, they had a decent 20 mins or so. In the main after Watkins and Sancho came on we looked the more likely to get another goal.
-
Also, for fans of football history - the last time Spurs had a special 125th anniversary shirt was that horrible game when we were 4-1 up, sang happy birthday, Harewood gave away a penalty and they pulled it back to 4-4 in injury time.
-
Spurs are inferior to us we should beat them and we did

No, they didn’t and it was as Dave said unless I wasted my time at the stadium tonight.

Fucking brilliant from Bogarde and Rogers, looking after their own. Well done both.
I’m so proud to see that.
The Liverpool pussies should take note.

Watkins came over to 'celebrate' but made a clear point of walking straight into that prick, which caused what you see there.
It was great, more of that sort of thing please lads.

Taking 9,000 fans to London - again - so soon after Christmas for an FA Cup match is remarkable.
People are bought in. Something is happening.
Our year. What a club.
-
Arsenal in the next round please. Fuck North London.

Great point.
We have a magnificent away following, many of whom have stated on X that they have had enough of London after our glut of recent fixtures in that Metropolis.
-
Just back from Spurs. Fuck that ground it's not a football stadium, give me Villa Park any day. UTV and that journey home was horrendous 🤣
-
Lovely stuff.
With Palace out, it’s our year.
Indeed
Love a home draw with Citeh next to get rid of them next.
-
Back home now. Great day out and great support,
Hope Kamara ok. Looked to be the left side of his left knee. Tielemans coming in helped control things.
Don’t think Ollie walked into Palhinha at the end but he did raise his arms right in his face and said something. Dangerous to push him down the sloped end to the pitch. Should have shown him a red after the match for that.
Drove past the Villa coach on way back so they were away nice and quickly.
Can’t believe how gentrified Tottenham High Road is now compared to when I used to watch us there in 90s and 2000s. It was probably worst area outside any ground then.
-
I really do believe that was one of the most deliberate attempts to kick the shit out of an opposing team in a long long time. Half time no var I reckon Frank said just do the cnuts. Which works for about 15 minutes before we regained control.
There were some astonishing attempted assaults on our players.
-
Paulinha, just like Robbie Savage. Provoke, provoke, foul, stir up and then run away.
-
Thought Bogarde was immense
Over-elaborates a bit and had his pocket picked for their goal.
-
Thoroughly enjoyed that, pretty comfortable win in the end, from pretty much 5 minutes after they scored to the end they created very little and only one team was scoring or even trying to score.
Excellent stadium but very very weird pre match ‘entertainment’ the bloke on the mic would put a glass eye to sleep and 20 odd minutes before kick off they were playing Whitney Houston :-) lucky they had 9k there to make an atmosphere
-

+ cry foul when you finally get some back
-
Spurs fan reactions. Mostly bell ends. Especially the first bloke. Enjoy
-
Prize money today, us £121,500, Spurs £26,500. 127k for a round 4 winner, 0 for the loser. May not seem much but add in gate money, potential tv money and the money you can can create in a home tie and it soon adds up.
-
I would love it if Ollie posted one of those 'non' apologies on social media, but along the lines of
"Sorry if you felt upset, I wanted to celebrate and didn't see anything relevant in front of me aside from Villa fans"
-
That game could prove pivotal to this season in a few ways. Lose Kamara for months and it could well derail what could’ve been an all time season. But the spirit. Great to see.
-
Listen to the question asked of Thomas Frank at 2:08
https://x.com/skysportsnews/status/2010094191703974055?s=46
provocative question at the end; TBF, Frank didn't pile in.
-
My first trip to the new Tottingham stadium. Impressive! It’s like a scaled down version of Wembley. Maybe that was due to the amount of stairs that need to be climbed and like the new Wembley it feels more like it’s built for events rather than just football. It felt very American to me, you can see why they put their version of football on there. It’s a big money making bowl is what it is. It reeks of corporate. Yes, I know football clubs need or want to make money to prosper but where is the soul? I suppose if you’re into American football your attachment to your home ground is less than real football and it’s more about “will I be catered for”? Interesting to hear two Spurs fans on the train back to Cheshunt preferring older grounds like VP. Glass and shiny metal can’t replace history or a sense of belonging. Villa Park any day for me.
-
You can't manufacture a history. What we have at Villa Park is very real, has been created and cemented with every walk across Aston park or past the church. It's been earned in every frustrating home draw and every pitch invasion. If there's anyway at all we can compete at the very top on a more equal footing at Villa Park than elsewhere it should be explored and I believe that's what we are doing.
We have something precious in Villa Park, a footballing fortress now not a pop concert venue.
-
We’ve now won 7 of our last 9 against Spurs, first time since the early 90’s we’ve regularly got the better of them.
Long may it continue.
-
Yep the Spurs thing does seem to go in phases we were dominant throughout the 90s they then had our number particularly in the lost decade from 10-20 but we’re getting on top again now.
-
What a bunch of whining twats they are, on and off the pitch.
-

I’m still fuming this morning at their thuggery. They did exactly what Arsenal did to us except they didn’t have the quality or ability to execute anything like that level of comeback. In fact, their twat of a Manager didn’t have an answer tactically so just decided to say pressing, physicality and fouling is the answer. It was like Dirty Leeds from the early 70s.
-
You definitely got the feeling that they were taking advantage of the absence of VAR.
But even before VAR, you couldn’t just do what you wanted.
-
I watched Spurs against Liverpool and they could quite easily have had at least three sent off. They are suddenly a dirty side and awful to watch. The manager seems to have created a toxic atmosphere and wants them to play this way. I missed yesterday’s game, but seen the highlights and the interviews afterwards. To think they want to take the moral high ground still over Cash and blame Ollie for the ruckus, which yeah I agree, he wound them up, so what, that player was dishing it out all match.

They've always been a dirty team, going back to hatchet donkeys like Graham Roberts and Paul Miller, only they wear white and are the press darlings, and Glenn Hoddle etc.
-
I’ve not really paid too much attention to them as I can’t stand the media love in, but considering how much they dish it out they are like you say, a bunch of whining twats!
-
We have all been on the Spurs end of results like that when we were shit. Get completely outclassed for a half, got two or three down. Then come out after half time and show a 'reaction', hopefully get a goal back and get the crowd on side only to burn out and see the superior opposition take the initiative back.
The bit we don't do well enough yet is score the killer goal or two to completely kill off opposition teams.
I don't remember 'experts' talking about our plucky defeats in the same way they are talking about Spurs performance yesterday in the second half. For all their effort, they had very little to show for it and their attacking was pretty chaotic for the most part.
-
Same with West Ham. Both clubs have this mythical pretense of playing the "right" way and get lauded when they have the occasional skilled talent. Yet, I cannot think of a time when they haven't fielded a thug or two.

They had one go at copying us 2nd half, played through the press with a ball up to the forwards feet who laid it off to the midfielder, who looked up and couldn't find anyone, and then ended up going back to the keeper.
Me and my nephew just laughed at their ineptitude.

Correct.

2nd time I’ve been to spurs new stadium and I won’t be rushing back
the stadium itself is fine probably the best of the new bowls type but what an arse ache getting in and out
Walking to the seven sisters is a right trek and then a que for another 30/40 mins
the overground station just as bad then you got to join the que again at SS, Witton station is a piece of piss compared to all that fucking about
searched 3 times before getting in and put your keys and shit in a trolley thing like your getting on a long haul flight, I suppose it’s London security but the whole thing is to much for an old un like me
good game, good performance, great result
Fingers crossed for Bouba 🤞

I was surprised with the double scanning of tickets and the airport mettle detectors. Lovely stadium though and great view from the back of the upper tier. Bit of a faff getting back to the car at Cockfosters, the less said about service stations on the M1 the better. A long old day as gone 12 by the time we got home.
Still when we play like we did in the first half and the goals were brilliant it makes it worth while. Great to see Rogers and Bogarde backing Ollie up at the end. Fantastic support and a great day that many don’t get to experience as often as they’d like.
Happy birthday John.

That’s because they never, ever have. It was nauseating.

He is trying to turn a bunch of fancy dancers into Brentford.

I have to give thanks to Baldy of this site who gave me the best location to park for commuting to the stadium. No hassle at all as it worked perfectly. As the driver, I unashamedly took all the credit.

As pointed out by another poster on here, the absence of Var gave them licence to kick lumps out of our players. So that’s what they did from the off.

Many Happy Returns.

We parked a 10 minute walk away and got and out with no traffic whatsoever.

But it was good to see the linesmen were able to do their job and raise their flags immediately, instead of that delayed, injury risking nonsense when the whole ground knows a player is offside.

Was reading the post-match thread on a Spurs forum and someone said that was Xavi Simons' best game for them "by a mile".
Given I think I noticed him about twice, that's pretty damning.
-
Has anything been said about Kamara yet?
-
Thought Malen did really well for both goals. Lovely weight of pass to release Buendia for the first and excellent movement for the second. How did he play in general?

Yeah I’ve seen quite a few spuds fans/pages saying their second half performance was their best of the season. That’s pretty poor considering they were threatening for only about 15-20 minutes after half time, and even that was mostly based on disruption and aggression rather than any technical ability or tactical nous.
-
I never thought they were going to equalise, and I'm the most pessimistic fan we have. If that's their best half of the season, they're shite.

Yeah similar.

Wolves best performance of the season, Tottenham, Man Utd etc etc they're all turning in their best performances of the season and have all left with nothing. We are now a good, strong, resilient team.

Liverpool confirm Bradley has been ruled out all season with his knee injury. Hope Bouba gets better news.

Simons is an odious little prick. Lucky not to get a card for his challenge on Cash no matter what stage of the game it was.

They were and are shit , they can’t even be dirty properly the soft arse twats

He's usually anonymous, but did have some good moments yesterday. That Mouani seemed to be masterful at running offside.

Spiritual heir to Son then, under Emery anyway.

I can’t believe PSG paid £70 odd million for him. Every time I’ve seen him he’s been dog shit.
