Tyrone out
-
Mings out with tonsillitis. Gutted
-
Prove me wrong Danny boy, have a stormer and smash in the winner.
-
No Mings and Drinkwater playing......I'm not sure which is worse.
-
Mings out with tonsillitis. Gutted
Bloody hell. His winter break did him a lot of good then.
-
Mings out is a huge blow. Surprise me please Villa.
-
That back 3 looks dodgy without mings
-
Borja Baston on the bench.
-
What has Drinkwater done to warrant a start? Smith must like being in the bottom four.
-
Don't know what to think about this line up but I am already really stressed.
Utv
-
Mings out is a blow. Drinkwater in is...
-
What has Drinkwater done to warrant a start? Smith must like being in the bottom four.
got to keep playing until he gets match fit mate
probably around the end of April
-
What has Drinkwater done to warrant a start? Smith must like being in the bottom four.
Indeed.
-
Well, Mings out and Drinkwater starting has drained all my pre-match optimism of being able to do this lot. Please don't get hammered Villa. Cagey first half and a point in the bag would do. UTV
-
Well my expectations are now zero for this afternoon. I'm seeing the game over by half time. Too many Steady Eddies and not enough game changers in that line up. If we can survive until half time hopefully a few from the bench can make the difference. If you offered me a point now I'd bite your hand off.
-
Love to know the thinking behind why Ditchwater gets a start.
-
Woke up thinking this is the day we get a big result. Don't feel so confident now. We've been so poor with Mings leadership from the back. Protecting goal difference exercise?
-
Defence without Mings, and a free pass for Spurs straight through the middle of our midfield. We’re in for a pasting!
Should have gone 451 or an all guns blazing 442.
Was feeling confident earlier in the week - Fear the worst now.
We can not afford the luxury of getting Drinkwater match fit in our position, which only highlights the ridiculousness of signing him in the first place?!
-
I'd take a draw now.
-
I actually fancied us this morning but Mings out and DD starting , Ive changed my mind , TR is colossal for us as you all know.
Take a draw now . hope Hause has worked on his passing .
-
Mings being out is big.
Drinkwater in, isn't as bad, perhaps he's been playing well behind closed doors and is much fitter.
All of a sudden this looks really hard.
-
What has Drinkwater done to warrant a start? Smith must like being in the bottom four.
He makes a rod for his own back does Smith.
If we do end up going down, I wonder if he'll regret such crap decisions? It isn't the first time, that's for sure.
Come on Villa.
-
Drinkwater?
Disappointined with that selection to say the least. With Mings out we look like a colander down the middle.
-
No Mings, big blow. Tottenham look defensive too but I reckon Moaninho will try to stifle us in the middle of the park and settle for a 1-0 up, park the bus type of performance. Fuck it Villa, nothing to lose, nothing expected of us, go and have a proper go at them.
-
Barring the Mings injury , thats the side I’d have picked
-
I’d have switched out Hause and added an extra body in midfield. Not sure there will be enough organisation in a back 3 without Mings shouting at them.
Should have Nakamba in there.... at the very least, in place of Drinkwater. Winter break where you’d hope things get ironed out, and first thing we’re greeted with is that line-up?!
Surprise me Villa!
-
Nice to hear a bit of Ozzy blaring out over the speakers.
Come on Villa!
-
Barring the Mings injury , thats the side I’d have picked
You'd have picked Drinkwater? On what basis?
-
Let's not start kn the back foot and stay on it.
-
drinkwasters first touch ..fucking ell
-
28 seconds in and Drinkwater's already given the ball away.
-
No Mings and Drinkwater preferred to Nakamba? Knife through butter springs to mind.
-
Good work from Samatta though.
-
So Drinkwater has never played Spurs and has no knowledge of how they counter.....scary.
-
Why do Spurs fans sing Southampton's song?
-
good refering there
-
Nice one Ezri
-
drinkwasters first touch ..fucking ell
Inside the first minute, too.
-
poor
-
Typical.
-
there a weak lot these spurs
come on villa ..do them
-
Spurs have turned into Stoke under Pulis.
-
come ref card him
-
And still no fucking booking, twat.
-
that ****** will score ,you know it and could have been off with those 2 tackles
-
Come on You Villa boys! Just got in. FTF!
-
Two fouls that twat has committed. Not a hint of a yellow from the ref.
Watch him do something of note for them later on.
Poor poor refereeing.
-
ffs DD get a grip on this
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
I see Drinkwater has started well again
-
Why are there empty seats in the Trinity? Have they yeewddddssdw
-
Samagoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal
-
Is Drinkwater pissed?
-
goooaaallllllllllll
-
Get in.
-
Or even an owngoooooooooooooooooooooooooal
-
briliant ball from reina
excellent cross by el ghazi
thats how to do it
-
GETTTT INNN!!!!!!
-
GTFI!!!
-
And another decent attack, come on Villa!
-
Wonderful.
-
hows that not a fucking corner wtf
-
Alderweirld og
-
Why are there empty seats in the Trinity? Have they yeewddddssdw
As I was saying, have they gone for chips already?
-
Hilarious! Fookin brilliant!
-
Corner?
-
Another shot, it's all Villa!
-
Is Drinkwater pissed?
You just know Danny is the Norman Peterson of his local establishment
-
refs gone shit
-
Why didn't var correct that clear mistake with the corner?
-
Superb goal, fingers crossed.
-
fuck me we look awesome
-
How the fuck has hhe not been booked, that's 3 times ffs
Meanwhile we're battering them
-
why no booking for that ******
-
Spurs are in bits
-
Is anyone able to message me any interesting information about small collections of water at all?
-
Fuck me a bit of a panic after AEG fucks up
-
el ghazi oh dear
-
Get in, get a second.
-
reinas distribution has been brilliant
-
DD getting better
-
Alderweirld og
And we were all concerned the transfer window had been and gone without us finding our new goalscoring hero. ;)
-
Kin'ell Anwar.
-
DD getting better
getting worse wasn't really an option.... :)
-
Lloris with a great save
-
fuck me nnoooooooo
should b 2
what a goal that would have been
-
Ohh should be two!
-
We're doing everything but score a second
-
Oh villa. How do you miss, Dougie? Fuck me. Lash it in.
-
AEG playing quite advanced
-
Fucking hell
-
And then a Spurs chance
-
How the fuck's he missed that !
-
Jacks approach to that sitter was amazing but that block could cost us dearly
-
We need a second before half time. Mourinho will tear into his players at half time.
-
samatta is good isnt he
-
Our passing in our own half is still shocking. Criminal at times.
-
Come on Villa get the second
-
This is how we should always play. Having a go from the start.
Samatta is a pest. I like him.
-
This is how we should always play. Having a go from the start.
Samatta is a pest. I like him.
Likewise. Dangerous in a way Wesley never looked. Or any of our other striking options, in fairness.
-
We're carving them apart time and time again
-
should easy be 2 by now j
-
Score again Villa.
-
Good game so far.
Should be more goals.
-
Villa rampant.
-
We're carving them apart time and time again
Its almost to easy, Spurs will correct this 2nd half, we need that second and third.
-
Grealish too unselfish there.
-
el ghazis touch wwas poor a few mins ago when targett was unmarked calling for it ..shame
-
We're carving them apart time and time again
They've really surprised me how poor they are. We're well up for this.
-
Fuck off 1-1
-
FFS!
-
what a lucky goal that
-
Mate we need to get a second one spurs have some real quality they can turn this around so we need to get another make it really difficult for them
-
Well defended, Targett. He's been excellent so far.
Oh fuck off
-
Fuck sake. Typical.
-
Totally undeserved
-
Total injustice but when you're battering a side you have to finish them off
-
ffs 2 - 0 we would have gone and won this
might give those fuckers a lift . .
-
Should have been well ahead by now.
-
Bollocks
-
Totally undeserved
True but bloody hell, he really buried it.
-
Well we all know what happens now.
UTV etc but we wasted a serious number of chances in the first 25 mins, can't help but feel this shifts now.
Unbelievably well taken goal it has to be said.
-
Totally undeserved
True but bloody hell, he really buried it.
yup like Luiz should have done
-
We can’t now go into a shell. We have to come right back at them.
-
A villa defensive set piece lapse you say?
-
We have to go for this now, no choice, Spurs will look for a big score here.
-
'Down with the West Ham'.
Ram that down their throats, Villa.
-
Yep luiz miss was absolutely unforgivable
-
GRRRRR
-
He could have a hundred goes at that and not connected so sweetly. Bollocks
-
Tottenham, lucky motherfuckers. We are we so soft!!
-
Hate the Sky commentator, he is from Tipton and so anti Villa
-
Prediction 2-2 alderweireld all four.
-
We’ll lose
-
Well played, Villa. We're competing and look threatening. Good to see. 1-1 massively flatters them.
-
It's some going to play like we have for over half an hour and yet somehow we haven't had a shot on target according to the stats.
-
Doug playing well. He’s starting to blossom
-
Well played Hause.
-
It's some going to play like we have for over half an hour and yet somehow we haven't had a shot on target according to the stats.
I'm sure Doug's shot was on target
-
Maybe they class it as a block as that's what I thought but both Sky and Beeb have it as 0.
And we have a bit of a let off from Alli.
-
Fuck me that was close. Haha! Tough.
-
Our defence freezes time and time again
-
Lloris saves with his face.
-
Dreadful from luiz
-
wheres the card
-
Is that a penalty?
-
Dreadful from luiz
It's pretty impressive that we're playing really well and you haven't said a single positive thing.
-
Come on Villa.
-
Dreadful from luiz
It's pretty impressive that we're playing really well and you haven't said a single positive thing.
Mind boggling
-
Better team so far. Luiz needs to sharpen up.
-
I like Anwar in this position. Been quite effective despite a couple of poor passes.
-
We get a let off
-
Feel a bit sorry for Drinkwater honestly. It's like his feet aren't obeying him like they used to and he doesn't know what to do about it.
-
VAR check for a penalty
-
No handball.
-
no way is that apen
-
Spurs getting on top a bit, need to make sure we don't concede a second before HT.
-
Hause really is a liability
-
Laughable they even looked at it again
-
Better team so far. Luiz needs to sharpen up.
I like his hair
-
Fabulous by Engels.
Fuck on reflection that’s a pen to them
-
Another VAR check
-
Is this spurscandowhatevertheywantday?
Referee is making some weird decisions, and it's going to eventually lead to them scoring.
Delle Ali is massive wanker. Raising hands=a yellow card
VAR can felate itself.
-
For all our god play we still manage to concede easy chances
-
ffs VAR
-
Fuck off you VAR cheating ******
-
you are having a laugh
-
Laughable they even looked at it again
Also that they didn't look at the handball in their box.
-
They'll get a var check, but didn't their player handball it earlier, and not a hint of a check?
-
Update please what's the verdict
-
Don't believe this
-
1-2
-
They'll get a var check, but didn't their player handball it earlier, and not a hint of a check?
I wondered this
-
you fucking jamming bastards
-
2-1 Spurs. Fuck me. For all our good play we are behind at HT
-
Reina saved but our defenders repsond too slow so rebound is scored.
-
still villa..
-
Fucking defence is pathetic
-
How the fuck are we losing this? Mind boggling.
-
Never a pen
CHEatingheating
-
Fuck off spurs and fuck offVAR
-
we have played so well
fucking hell
we dont get much luck . . that luiz miss :(
-
How the fuck are we losing this? Mind boggling.
The villa way.
-
Desperately unlucky to be behind.
-
How the fuck are we losing this? Mind boggling.
Drinkwater no cover at all
-
Fuck off VAR.
Fuck off Atkinson.
Fuck off Son.
Fuck off Spurs.
-
Jammy spurs bastards and a poor VAR decision again.
-
HT
-
Our defending there was a complete disgrace, I bet Reina must be thinking wtf is wake up time at Villa.
-
I fucking hate losing to Spurs. ******. Come on!
-
Could’ve had as many as 4 goals this half.. instead we’re down 2-1
-
Fuck VAR
-
Never a pen
CHEatingheating
It was a clear penalty. He never got the ball.
-
not one booking for those ******
what about the ****** who took Guilbert out as well
jamming fucking wankers
-
Never a pen
CHEatingheating
It was a clear penalty. He never got the ball.
That's how I saw it to be honest.
-
Good first half hour. Every time Tottenham break they look like scoring. We don’t, that’s the difference
-
This is horrible.
-
Fucking VAR, Fucking ridiculous, Fucking bollocks.
-
What a ridiculous game
Referee-******
Tottenham-******
Delle Ali-huge ******
Me-raging.
Villa-hugely unfortunate.
Come out second half and fucking have these bastards.
-
Every one of our players bar Reina and Grealish who were good throughout looked very good one moment and terrible the next. Overall though a half decent if slightly sloppy first half, should be at least level.
-
Our horrendous team defending is why we will go down if we do. For all our inventive play all season long we have so fucking naive when we don't have the ball. And every team we play against knows it too.
-
Never a pen
CHEatingheating
It was a clear penalty. He never got the ball.
He also never made a foul, poor decision that happens because 'he got the ball' has been given far too much importance in the decisions.
-
Never a pen

It was a clear penalty. He never got the ball.
yeah dont think we would have got that thou
-
Could’ve had as many as 4 goals this half.. instead we’re down 2-1
To be fair they could have had 4 too. We can’t cope with their breakaways
-
What can you say, we had our chances, we are just not ruthless enough for the Premiership and way to frail at the back, as for Spurs, same old same old, they hurt you on the break given the chance, that's there game.
-
I fucking hate these fucking twats. Twice this year we've taken the lead and overrun them at the start and twice this year we've thrown it the fuck away.
-
Gutted. Did not deserve that. Fuck VAR. Need a walk in the garden.
-
play like this alll season thou and we will beat a few teams
-
Just because he didn’t get the ball doesn’t instantly make it a penalty. He slid in the player booted the ball off him and went down and got a pen. Unless I’ve missed something?
-
We are our own worst enemy. ball watching, giving it away in key positions, poor finishing etc. Tottenham are a bunch of fucking ****** and I absolutely hate them. Massive second half coming up. VAR yet again goes against us, the referee should get first dibs and he said it wasn't. The guy left his leg in to draw in the foul and Engels falls for it. Furious. We should be winning. We now hope instead of expect.
-
I fucking hate these fucking twats. Twice this year we've taken the lead and overrun them at the start and twice this year we've thrown it the fuck away.
I might be mistaken but I’m sure there is another 45 mins isn’t there?
-
Was a penalty in all fairness. Could see it coming.... we were on top and much better team for most of that half, but need to be more ruthless.
-
Still in this . Dick them second half Villa
-
we can't defend and we don't score enough. That's never a good combination.
-

We've still thrown away a lead and find ourselves behind

Where was the foul ?.
-
Never a pen
CHEatingheating
It was a clear penalty. He never got the ball.
That's how I saw it to be honest.
The question is whether he brought down the attacker, not whether he got the ball. I think he probably did bring him down. Was it a 'clear and obvious error'? Was it bollocks. It took them three minutes to decide. They make up the VAR rules as they go along.
Plenty of other questionable decisions though.
Aurier told after two cautionable fouls to cut it out, another one straight after which didn't even get a talking to let alone a card.
A clear corner off the defenders heel - not even a difficult one as the ball changed direction, given as a goalkick.
An utterly shit referring display.
-
FUCK VAR
Clear and obvious error my arse.
Soft pen, minor contact.
Farce
-
nakamba for DD for me
-
We've played some good stuff but always look likely to make a mistake. We are so open but what's new? It's the same every game. We concede the most chances in the league for a reason. You can walk right through us.
Which again begs the question of John Terry's involvement in particular...
-
I want to know why there was no check for our handball shout. A check when it's one of our players in the stomach, no check for ours.
-
No foul and no pen for me, what a load of old wank.
-
Take on one these cbs off play two up front. Spurs look all over the place in defence. Let’s put pressure on them
-
Unbelievable we're behind. Yet utterly typical. We pissed all over them for a good 30 minutes of that half yet our ball-watching half asleep defenders still manage to gift them 5 clear chances and a penalty. Alli could have had a hat trick with the space we've given him.
The penalty was nailed on, incredibly stupid challenge. That said how come VAR does a penalty check when the ball hits Engels on the hip, yet nothing when a Spurs player's hand clearly deflects AEG's cross? Could it be because Jon Moss is the VAR wanker today?
We can still win this if the defenders concetnrate harder and
-
FUCK VAR

the word that says it all there is 'contact'

Yes we've had a few go against us. Aurier should be on a yellow and we were denied the clearest corner you'll ever see but I think the pen was fair enough. Truth be told we should have been 2-0 up and cruising.
-
nakamba for DD for me
He should have never started. Playing him has left us wide open through the middle, and since we're no better on the wings they're cutting right through us everywhere on the break.
-
FUCK VAR

Anyone think we’d have been given it then ?

This.
-
Fucking defence is pathetic
The same could be said for the Spurs defence. They're lethal going forward but piss poor in defence. A great 45 minutes of football where it quite easily could be 4-3 to us. Gutted to be going in a goal down but if you don't take your chances you can't really complain.
Despite shitting myself pre-match, we've looked as good as we have all season. Samatta deserves a goal or three, doing everything right. He looks a bargain.
-
nakamba for DD for me
He failed to clear the ball for their first goal and was a statue on their second. He is so nervous in possession and has been huffing and puffing since the 10 minute mark.
-
The Game of Thrones episode The Viper and the Mountain needs to be compulsory viewing at BH. When you have your opponents down and vulnerable, you need to kill them off. We didn't, they got a flukey goal to equalise and the rest went as per usual.
Minus marks as well to our defenders for being slow off the mark when Reina saved the pen. Again, it's naivety. Most teams get done for encroaching, but our lot are on their heels, smoking fags or daydreaming or something.
-
Drinkwater is awful, El Ghazi too.
Our defence once again, shambles.
-
Worst defence in the league now.
-
Jack gotta play down the middle, will be more effective there.
UP THE VILLA
-
Drinkwater is awful, El Ghazi too.
Our defence once again, shambles.
Ghazi put the cross in we scored from and had a blistering shot scrambled away by the keeper
-
Got to think of the chances at the other end of the pitch also..... we could have easily been 3 up before they scored
-
Anywhere else on the pitch and the Engels tackle isn't even a foul, but because VAR polarises tackles, they just have to give a penalty. A clear and obvious foul by Engels? Not for me. The slightest of touches maybe. And then we ballwatch as Reina saves it. Where is the belief! Fricking need some now, that's for sure.
-
Drinkwater is awful, El Ghazi too.
Our defence once again, shambles.
Problem is with Drinkwater is that he needs time in a game to recover from his mistakes and bad positional play, good Championship player.
-
Engels is too slow. Mings would've had the pace not to concede the penalty.
-
Drinkwater is awful, El Ghazi too.

He’s awful.

I don't think he's awful.
-
I've seen this game a hundred times over.
Very good for 25 minutes, fluffed numerous excellent chances that any other team would bury, end up losing.
This is exactly how we play and totally unsurprising.
-
Don Goodman pisses me off too. Biased twat. I wonder if the VAR lot sit there watching the fucking telly and listen to that mug.
-
This team has too many bottlers against th3 better teams. We take the lead and they shit themselves and then go and lose.
Mentality weak a lot of this team
-
I thought AEG had a pretty good first half actually. Always looks dangerous coming down that right hand side.
-
Good to see the Sky Panel are completely unbiased too, what with Cockney Redknapp and Cockney Hughton.
-
Some people watching a completely different game to me. Drinkwater has played well most of the half. To blame him for either goal is scapegoating taken to it's ridiculous extreme. And anyone who thinks that isn't a penalty is wearing the darkest shade of claret and blue specs. Yes we're unfortunate to be behind but it's our general shit defending and poor finishing that's to blame, not Drinkwater and the officials.
-

yes he is still young and will make mistaokes but at times he does that brazillian thing and looks a player.

Voice of reason
-
We're bit doing too badly. The scoreline doesn't reflect what we've seen.
Penalty wasn't an obvious one but still a penalty, we were unlucky to concede the rebound.
Alderweireld was unlucky to concede to us but scored a good goal at the other end.
We're still hugely in this.

I agree on the penalty.
However you're on the wind-up if you think that's an acceptable performance from Drinkwater, a Premier League midfielder. He's off the pace, he's nervy in possession, he's given the ball away multiple times and he's provided no protection to the defenders when Spurs have countered.
He's shite, and this performance is perfectly indicative of that.

Yeah.. that Danny drinkwater..
-
Drinkwater looks like a non league player who’s won a contest to play in the prem. Looked knackered from minute one
-
Drinkwater is terrifyingly weak and slow... Just scary.
-
Drinkwater nearly cost us again. We’re losing.
Hook him for Conor or Marvellous now!

Yes we're unfortunate to be behind but it's our general shit defending and poor finishing that's to blame, not Drinkwater and the officials.
Just showed what he is all about. He is a poor player
-
Drinkwater should not be on that pitch, his fitness and movement is more like a Sunday league pub player!
-
Take fucking drinkwaterr off ffs!!!!
-
What's the odds the first yellow card will be to a villa player.
-
Loving samatta
not the best finish by EG
-
Good build up
-
Fucking hell another chance missed
-
Drinkwater off please
-
There are more goals in this game. Sadly I can't currently see them coming our way, unless we get a moment of magic from Jack.
-
I don't think Drinkwater has been awful but I'd be looking at making a change soon and he's the one I'd hook.
-
Fucking hell another chance missed
thats why we are losing nothing to do with ref, var etc
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOO
-
Gooooooool
-

Lulz
-
yyeeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
Get the fuck in
-
HAVE SOME OF THAT!
-
We fucking deserve that
-
Drinkwater slow to celebrate
-
Is that our first goal directly from a header by a CB since Martin Laursen? Because it certainly feels that way.
-
For goodness sake Villa now let's go and win this
-
Yesssssss engels
-
Get in!!!
Lovely corner. Is that our second headed goal all season?
-
Get in Bjorn you beauty!!!
-
No more than we deserve.
Is that the first time we've scored from a corner this season? I do know we're normally pathetic with corners, generally a complete waste of time.
-
I hope Engels scores another just so as I can say Bjorn again.
-
Get in Bjorn you beauty!!!
Maybe there's a reason why he's bjorn again
-
Our defenders seem to do an incredible amount of ball watching.
-
Nakamba on for Dishwater for me. He's a liability.
-
Corner, this is your chance Bjorn!
-
Nakamba on for Dishwater for me. He's a liability.
Aye, surely has to happen.
-
Engels first Villa goal
-
Nakamba getting ready to come on
-
hause should have done better there
-
Currently 17th. 15th if we win. Come on you fuckers!
-
We give away another oportunity
-
and then gives it away there
-
Hause stop fannying.
-
Kortney fucking Hause. JUst get rid of the fucking ball. Good grief.
-
good sub
-
Nakamba on for Drinky.
-
Nakamba for Drinkwater
-
To whoever was saying El Ghazi was shit - his movement has been so much more dynamic and dangerous than any other attacker in this game. He is actually running off the ball and causing problems for them, which is something only McGinn and Grealish really do well for us. Not sure why we'd slate him on that basis.
-
Nakamba for Drunkwater
-
Thank you
-
Not got sky, anyone able to pm watery links?
-
Engels goal https://twitter.com/D9INE_NEXUS_F1/status/1229061715851001857
-
Reina with a decent save
-
Good game DD after a dodgy start
-
Well, I'm not a fan at all, but Drinkwater did ok today. Looked really anxious in possession at times, and gave it away a few times, also. But he put a shift in. Step by step and and all that.
Good save, Pepe
-
Good game DD after a dodgy start
Agreed but Marv already running around more

He's been excellent. Surprised he's getting any criticism.
-
Son's a superb player, to be fair.
-
Ooooh close, it was nearly Bjorn again
-
This isn't the end of the scoring. Both teams look awful defensively. Us more than them.
-
El Ghazi fucking score, will you? FFS!
-
There's N argument there for a penalty surely? Alderweireld has basically nutted AEG?
-
Where's VAR? AEG fouled when heading the ball.
-

Spotted that as well
-
Ridiculous. VAR really is wank.
-
Trez on for AEG
-
Little tug of the arm as AEG went head
-
Let off
-
AEG's had a good game.
-
defending there jesus well done nakamba
-
Great block Marv
-
I hope we don't regret that sub. AEG has caused them problems all game and kept the pressure on their defense. Not sure relieving that pressure is a wise move.

Might well be because of the whack he took rather than tactical.
-
Fuck me, Reina save.
-
reina and konsa :)

He's probably low on energy now in fairness. I'd have kept him on too otherwise, but he can't do it all himself.
Jack oddly quiet from open play
-
I did think jack was gonna hit the 3 2 winner there
-
Jack taken out yet again. And again no booking.
-
Konsa, wake up. Clearly isn't the sharpest is our Esri.
-
Talk about missing mingsy
-
has he left his cards at home
-
Another foul, and no booking.
-
Talk about missing mingsy
Absolutely.
-
The blocks we're putting in are heroic but the general defending has been ropey to say the least.
-
Pathetic refereeing I think.
-
Is this utter bellpiece of a referee going to clamp down on their non stop fouling?
-
If this was Mourinho's team getting kicked around, he'd be off the bench remonstrating with the fourth official and the opposition manager until cards came out.
-
Don’t want to jinx him but Targett’s doing ok
-
We're putting good pressure on them. Need to find an opening though.
-
passs it trez u tit
-
Pass it Trezeguet
-
Samatta is great.
-
Come on Villa!
-
Really impressed with Samatta
-
villa coming stronger here
-
Idiot, Targett.
-
Grealish is a wonderful player. Stating the obvious I know, but good lord. What a player.
-
Our time, we just need to be careful of Spurs on the break.
-
Idiot, Targett.
Yeah, poor ball
-
Samatta off Baston on.
-
samatta was great today
-
Samatta off Baston on.
Interesting. Smith looking to slow things down in our favour?
-
love to see Mings and SJM in this team
-
Reina saves again
-
Reina has been great too
-
And again!
-
Pepe Reina has been worth every single penny we have paid for him and are paying for him.
-
Come on Baston make yourself a hero
-
Guilbert booked
-
fuck me baston asist for them there nearly
-
Bloody hell
-
Most impressed with Reina.
-
Guilbert booked
So yes the first player booked is a Villa player
-
It's a yellow card of course, but Atkinson you are the epitome of a ******.
-
Why take Samatta off???
-
The number of chances we conceded is unreal.
-

It's terrible. When you look at sides like Sheff Utd, or even dare I say it Newcastle, the first thing they try and do is stay tight. You simply have to have that discipline at this level. 1-0 wins are absolutely fine. We are so defensively naive.
-
4 mins added time
-
Targett was poor there
-
Make sure we get the point
-
We've had 18 shots, Spurs have had 20, which is some going.
-
I did jinx Targett . That was terrible
-
Reina again.
-

In fairness this is what the fans wanted when Bruce was out the door. More excitement, more attacking intent, a more dynamic formation. We're not Liverpool or City so we can't have both at the moment, if we play this way we will concede goals.
-
Nakamba booked.
-
Atkinson you are a ******
-
Sh*t. You just know what’s going to happen here....
-
Atkinson you are a c***
Correct, he's a wanker.
-
Why take Samatta off???
Yep, got nothing up top since he went off.

That doesn't mean we should have the worst defence in the league.
-
Engels is back to his early season form, today.
Again, that's a clear yellow card for Marvelous. But what about their....oh fuck it, what's the point.

In the Championship you can afford to play that way and not be punished. And with the gap in talent we should be winning more than not. In the PL I am sure all of us would have happily accepted a bit more pragmatism in our approach.
-
2-3 fuck off, Engles ffs
-
We're going down.
-
Fucking hell
-
get rid of that Engles hes a ******
-
Fucks sake Engels
-
Every time. Fuck me
-
Typical. Typical.
-
We are our own worst enemies. We really fucking are.
-
We’re going down.
-

Tnx

That is ridiculous.

Holy shit. I'm speechless.

I am so sick to fucking death of this.

really
-
Sucker punch again, unbelievable.
-
I don't believe that. I absolutely don't believe it. Absolutely unforgivable. Fucking braindead prick.
-
Fuck this bollocks.
-
We can't keep fucking doing this.
-
FT
-
You probably just got us relegated there Engels.
-
How many ridiculous mistakes?
-
To be fair to Smith, what's he supposed to do when his players make such fucking terrible individual errors?
-
I could take this if they actually beat us, they didn't they robbed us.
-

Yes, fuck me. Fuck.

Pathetic. Absolutely fucking pathetic.
-

I don't think anyone's blaming Smith for that.
-
Too many mistakes...if they continue we are going down
-
We need a forward, we need a forward.
No, we need to stop the clown football.
What is with the short passes at the back?
