Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Pre-Match Thread

[NiiLamptey]

The Football Universe is lining up against us for this one...

Tottenham have something to prove following loss to West Ham

Townsend will be raring to go after England performances

And to top it off Lambert has been in the paper saying "townsend is no Bale"

That has 3 - 0 with Townsend Hat-trick written all over it to me!

Oh F*CK...

Only thing left now is for a record that needs to be broken or levelled by a tottenham player so he can do it against us!

Think they'll have too much for us (yet again), and the new slimline Dowd will be itching to do something to fcuk us over (yet again), so I'd rip your arm off for a point right now. Anything to stop that awful dirge they 'sing'.

Not confident about this one unfortunately but I would bloody love it, love it if we beat them. I hate Spurs more than most other clubs, christ they're so arrogant and smug, but why?! Because they won the Anglo-Italian Cup in 1971? Because they have over-sold their best player abroad? Because Soldado can score penalties? Because they have a cock on their shirts? No-one knows. Hope we really stitch them up with a last minute 2-1 win after they've had 100 shots all saved by the wall that is Guzan.

They're three points above us in the table, having had a much easier start to the season.

I think people are exaggerating the margins of difference based on our reseves against their reserves.

maybe the possible record to set is the only team to loose 4-0 at home to the same team 3 times in a row?

Defeat.

0-2

They have superior players in most areas to us and they've embarassed us at VP on their last three visits so it's going to take a big effort to get a point or three off them.

0-1 to Spurs.  They score an early goal, Villa huff and puff but don't get near to equalising.  On a positive note we decide this is better than the results we got against them last season.

This is my farewell to Sky Sports subscription game, so we will win. I've invited 2 Spurs fans around too so they can enjoy the moment.

2 - 1

[eamonn]

Do Sky still do Fanzone? What happened to the infamous lad from the Everton Ashley Young game?

They have a whole load of players I'd never heard of until they signed them this summer, that's for sure.

That's pretty much how I see it too.  They're the Birmingham City of North London and I hate the c***s.

Jermaine Defoe needs just 1 more goal against Villa to overtake Robbie Fowlers record of goals against this club which stands at 153.
