afternoon - looks like my stream is 9 mins behind .  anyway Ive seen 20 minutes and might go out and mow the lawn

Late kick offs - 3.07

[Stu]

3-0 Albion. Useless Spurs.

[Toronto Villa]

We've been alright, lots of possession but yet again, you see that we need the sort of player who'd know how to create something from that possession.

We also need one of those predator like striker; Defoe, Sturridge type that will make something out of little and shoot a lot

[Tuscans]

You can see what we're doing....just cross it to Holt and cross fingers.

I don't have a problem with that. We're incapable of playing it on the floor so we should be crossing. I don't know why we haven't been playing like that with Benteke in the team given that he's the best in the air by far in the league.

Im fine with it too....but if it that is the plan, which it looks like it is, wouldn't Alby be better starting?

Not in a 5-3-2. He's desperate for a clean sheet I think.

I'm not Albrighton's biggest fan. I personally think he just runs around a lot and looks even better than he actually is given the other players we have.

Fair point

Christ, I've just realised Albion have gone above us as it stands

He'll definitely bring him on though if we're losing.

Who needs possession. The bitters are 3 up with 30% at home. Jammy bastards.

[VillaAlways]

Spurs pull one back

[PeterWithesShin]

As I said earlier, they will suddenly all start remembering what they are. Twats. 3-1, come on Spurs you useless twunts.

In fact I think some of these Villa players should come and mow it and earn their wages

[ozzjim]

Webb is giving them everything.

Gary Gardner.

[JUAN PABLO]

wheres the creativity ?

[PeterWithesShin]

Sounds like we just dodged conceding a penalty.

It'd look lovely in the middle but one goalmouth would have crazy patterns in the grass which would have died completely in the other...
