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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
