Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Pre-Match Thread

[Mister E]

The irritating thing abour Sppppuurrrrrrs is that a few teams have turned them over in the last couple of seasons; just not us. Ol' frying-pan face does seem to get motivated to beat Villa; perhaps it's the undisguised vitriole aimed at him whenever he walks down the pitch to the dug-out.

Due to this fucking stupid kick off time many people who use buses will struggle. Buses in Birmingham are ceasing between 7:00 - 730pm.

Thanks Sky - you wankers. I won't be going (therefore not using my season ticket) -  I ain't paying double fair for a taxi back to Oldbury (on my own) as my mates are all doing as they're told by their women.

I am travelling with my wife's cousin, a Spurs fan.

Inevitably we will lose and I will accidentally leave him behind at Corley Services

[eamonn]

Corley? Man, that's cruel.

Ok, Rothersthorpe. Tied up in a fertiliser sack

[WikiVilla]

Is the game definitely on?

[levico]

Our best hope is that the match will be postponed and replayed in Feb/March when we've signed some decent players and are not looking at the yawning chasm which is the drop to the Championship.

Most probably though the match will be played tomorrow and we will lose, probably quite convincingly.

Happy Christmas everyone.

If you can get to Cape Hill we can give you a lift there and back.

jingel bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it woud be to see Spurs stuffed away!

[Toronto Villa]

we'll win this. I'm sure the instruction will be to attack them as much as possible to keep them on the back foot. Spurs are a good side especially if you let them play and it will be a big day for Lichaj and Albrighton controlling the right side against Bale. But if we're positive, and with bodies now coming back into contention we can take it to them. 2-1 Villa - Gabby and Downing.

[Shrek]

All this talk of Bale.. Yeah it's going to be a big day for Bale, tracking back trying to contain Super Marc!

3-1 they will be pressing for an equailiser and we will hit them on the break, Downing puts Bannan clean through and he curls it in the top left corner. 

[TheSandman]

Lawro's got us to win.

We're doomed!

[JJ-AV]

Really looking forward to this.

To my knowledge, no special pitch inspection gas been called, so no more doubt than usual at present.
