Spuds 4.1 Villa

Ironic that Dim Sherwood will be out of a job come middle of May whereas Lambert may well not be.

snigger...

I can't claim credit for that one. I am prepared to be appropriately magnaminous as someone with a quicker wit than I on this site used the term prior to me.

Villa to win 9-7 after playing a 2-2-6 formation.

Before the Man City match, I thought "finally, a Villa match I can watch and not give a shit about the result, no need to get annoyed by whatever happens".

But then I still got annoyed.

Same here. Ha!

Same. When Delph got booked for that perfectly decent challenge against City, my language was terrible. Even said after, why do I get so worked up about it still....?

A miserable, can't be arsed 3-0 win to Spurts.

[Bad English]

Spurs 0 Villa 2 Ormondroyd. Platt

Spurs 0 Villa 2 Ormondroyd. Platt

With a load of us stood on the Shelf, Spurs fans around us talking about how good we were.

[Matt C]

A strange end-of-season game. 2-2.

Hope he starts Robinson and Grealish. Why not.

When Ormondroyd put that in I swear there was a moments silence before it went utterly mental behind the goal, Ormo looked as shocked as the rest of us. What a night.

Hope he starts Robinson and Grealish. Why not. 

Me too, absolutely nothing to lose, and it'd raise the entertainment levels, something he's failed to do for most of the last nine months.

I'd give a couple of the other fringe/yoofs a go to. Give em a chance to play against a big club, see how they cope. And also in some cases, possibly a last chance for some of Lambo's signings to try and have an impact. Tonev, Helenius perhaps. If Gardner was fit I'd give him a go too. If not, Johnson.
There's no point bringing a half fit Gabby back, or Albrighton, who hopefully has already done enough to earn a new deal.

I'd also put Steer in to see how he does.

Them 0 - 6 Us

The Spurs players are down sick with lasagne they have to play their caterers.  And pizza delivery boys.

So we can finish 12th or 17th, is that about a £6m swing in prize money? I don't think Lambert will  be throwing caution to the wind if so.  Them to win 2-0 with a team who don't even want to play for their manager judging by Sherwood's press conference yesterday.
