Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Post-Match Thread

[Clampy]

It was disappointing but I thought 4-0 was a bit harsh in the end. 

I hope Lambert gives Albrighton another crack over the next few weeks because after the injuries he's had, he deserves another chance, he did well in the second half.

I've been a villa fan now for 30 oddyears! I've neve witnessed such  a load of shite  like  that! Fuck me we have fallen!


You must have had your eyes closed at times then?

Losing at  home to Man Citeh = 5-1
Losing at home to Leeds - 4-1
Losing at home to Bradford (Simod Cup) 5-0
Losing at home to SHA - 3-0
Losing at home to Norwich - 4-1 (1986)

All off the top of my head that were worse than tonight.  But you are right we are shite.

You forgot

Blackburn 0-4
Coventry 1-4

We had hope with MON and now its all gone to shit

[Legion]

But Lambert's Villa have provided us with some absolute stinkers in his short period as Manager though. There can't be many managers in our history who have dished up as much crap as Lambert has in his tenure.

Just incredible how he wasn't penalised for that. Pathetic.

[Percy McCarthy]

We clearly de-prioritised this game, rightly or wrongly and I think there was an air of inevitability about the comfort of spurs' performance. I wonder how many multiples their team cost compared to ours?

I can see another one of these scorelines coming on Saturday

Unfortunately, I think we have to get used to a league that's a bit more like most foreign leagues. We missed the boat for various reasons and now we need to get used to the fact that villa are unlikely to win anything of significance ever again (unless we get bought out by a multi-billionaire, not just a billionaire).

We were bought by a multi-billionaire who's now just a billionaire.

As soon as I saw the teams on twitter I had a bet on spurs - easy money.

I have been to VP loads of times over the last 30 odd years and we have lost. Better Villa teams, better visiting teams, it doesn't feel any different. I am pissed off.

However, this will get better and there have been times like the season before last when I didn't think that would happen.
 Still stunned that Helenius did not get a penalty, though.

[Toronto Villa]

Just incredible how he wasn't penalised for that. Pathetic.

Simply stunning. The ref must have looked at Helenius and had to have wondered why the fuck are your shorts down by your ankles? And how about the assistant ref? What was he doing? Like I said, I'm not so naive suggest they wouldn't still have won tonight, it would have been a bit more of a contest. And you wonder why so many players go down so easily in the box. Joke.

[CJ]

Well that was depressing. Loads of people who normally sit by me didn't go tonight as they weren't prepared to pay £20 to watch the reserves get shown up by sodding Spurs.

They should have had a man sent off for retaliation/raising his arms - didn't even get a yellow card. And how can a defender have his shorts dragged down to his ankles and it's not a penalty? Other than that it was all pretty much pants,  epitomised by the way we gave them the ball for the third and fourth goals.  The reality is we have fallen way behind Spurs and too many of our players simply aren't good enough.

[Oscar Arce]

Embarrassing Humiliating performance. Thought as much when Lambert suggested he'd pick a virtual reserve side and our reserves simply aren't good enough. Spurs had the preverbial cigar out for most of the game apart from the last 10 minutes perhaps.
Starting to get seriously worried for our fate this season as I don't think Lambert as improved this squad.

[Steve67]

Very, very poor.

[The Left Side]

Wasn't expecting that, that just shows you the difference in squad depth that we need.
