Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[The Left Side]

3-1 to the spuds, booooo

[timeoutbigbar]

2-0 to Spurs, that Van der Vaart seems to love playing us.

[taylorsworkrate]

3-0 loss.

Spurs are playing well and have a no of players who can hurt us.

Can't say the same about us.

[Rigadon]

3-0 loss.

Spurs are playing well and have a no of players who can hurt us.

Can't say the same about us.

Oh I don't know, we have plenty of players who can hurt us (Warnock, Hutton, etc....)

I fancy us to get a point as long as both Gabby and Bent are playing as we will need to score a goal.

[KRS]

This could be painful.

[LeeB]

We're playing Spurs, not fucking Real Madrid.

2-0 Villa.

[cheltenhamlion]

Can't see past a defeat in this one I am afraid.

[Greg N'Ash]

3-1 to them. Hopefully the whole Redknapp situation will disrupt them but thats clutching at straws really.

[SteveN]

Dreading this, much as it hurts me to say Spurs are a decent team with plenty of pace from back to front and a dutchman who sees us as his pet rabbits.  3-0 to them -- bastards

[john e]

Can't see us winning this one, but if we do I will start to believe

[N'ZMAV]

Can see them beating us.

There front 6 will look something like this.

Bale Modric Parker Lennon

VDV Adebayor

We just won't be able to cope with that.

Spurs 3-0.

[UsualSuspect]

A draw would be nice

A big big test for our new look midfield

[N'ZMAV]

If everyone is fully fit I think we'll go

Given

Hutton
Collins
Dunne
Warnock

N'Zogbia
Herd
Petrov
Agbonlahor
Heskey

Bent

I haven't a clue what formation McLeish will pick. I don't think he totally understands it himself.

I'd go with this team.

Given

Hutton
Collins
Dunne
Warnock

Albrighton
Herd
Petrov
Bannan

Agbonlahor
Bent

Bannan left wing, and Albrighton right wing. With Gabby tucking back to help out the midfield.

If McLeish does play Heskey then he needs to just play him up front with Bent, and push Gabby out side a bit.

With Bale and Lennon bombing on, I don't think this is the right game for N'Zogbia.

[Broughty-Villian]

2-0 Gabby n Benty (If he's fit). Please tho NO Heskey.!!!!!!!!

I don't think any game is right for Emily

[Newquay_AVFC]

Can't wait for Monday, the end of a long row of night shifts, daughters footy training followed by watching the Villa win 2-1. Bent with the first, Bale for them, then Gabby 5 mins from time. Cue more beer and a bloody hot curry.
