Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Rip Van We Go Again]

How did it come to Tottenham fucking Hotspur being ten times the team that we are.

Just ask Randy  Lerner. I will not turn on Lambert even if we get relegated with 5 points.

This is Lerner's doing. It was him who signed the cheques under MON, him who replaced a top six side with a mixture of kids and unproven lower league players.

We all know Lerner is a useless prick, but these players just do not seem to have the stomach for an impending relegation battle.
Lambert has a real uphill battle on his hands at this club.

[PaulWinch again]

The changes here and at Southampton have just been tactically wrong, there is no midfield and we're getting slaughtered again.

At least my stream has gone shit to dull the pain a bit.

You have to alter that annoying little message in your profile settings.

Can't see that option in account settings?

Piss poor club management...

Them or us?

Us

[JJ-AV]

Lambert's subs were terrible.

[villa `cross the mersey]

Most of the footballing world don`t give flying F*** about the Villa - I`m starting to start feel that way myself.
Are we actually any better under this fella?
Losing away at Spurs is something I can come to terms with but losing at Southampton less so
We are in for a long hard struggle - with the players at our disposal I feel for our Premier League status.

Bennett on a stretcher. Looks like he'll be out for a while.

[PaulWinch again]

Is that Bennett who likes like he has a broken bone?

Don't forget TSM

Indeed, how could I forget. That set us back many years. People need to get over MON. Yes he's a twat but let's try to see the bigger picture and realise how incompetent his superiors were and have been.

We wasted money, they spent it on better players. They have had a lot of discipline in the direction they are travelling and were even willing to dump Redknapp to stay on that path. The MON years have set us back 10 years.

Christ almighty. There will be people in 30 years still saying the current shite being served up is all MON's fault.

Take it easy. I said the MON years which means I'm including everyone at the club that were responsible for the spending and wastefulness. He played a big part on where we are whether you think so or not.

[Risso]

So we have Doug's penny pinching for years and everyone moans, Randy comes in and gives the manager wads of cash to spend and ultimately everyone moans.

God we do love to moan don't we.

There's no point spending money like it's going out of fashion if two thirds of it is wasted.

Lets hope the welsh Jacques Cousteau doesnt rub salt in the wound with a goal.

[Mortimer's Bear]

I hope the lad makes a speedy recovery.

[Matt Collins]

It's the midfield that's the problem for me, too. Delph is hit or miss, at best, and KEA looks a good player, but it seems to me that teams can march a long way forward towards our penalty area before they are challenged.

It is too soon to 'write us off', but it's a poor start to the season and no mistake.

I felt our midfield did a better protecting job than normal today. But no coincidence that our subs have left us open

[The Situation]

Fuck this shit. Fuck spurs.

Bent should have started.

It's annoying that we aren't getting the results despite the performances we are putting in are improved.
