Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur Pre-Match Thread

[villan from luton]

Work with a couple of Spud fans and the one wound me up so much that I had a 20 quid bet on him, what a fecking knob I am.

Not 100% certain but pretty sure we have never lost 6 league games on the trot in our history but our manager seems very skilled in breaking all the wrong records, cant see anything other than defeat, us 0 Spurs 2.

[Mossie Hennebry]

Can we score? I suppose we should expect at least one at home. 1-4 to them Weimann, Adebayor (2), Eriksen and Chadli

 A few tweets (probably bull ) going around saying Ron & Gabby have been dropped for the game due to disciplinary reasons.

Scrapping I would suspect.

That would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I honestly can't see that dropping Gabby would harm us very much.

I'm optimistic - I reckon we'll get a point!

Yeah but who would you put in? Bent is the only one I can think of but there's no one there to cross a ball into him.

That part is a fair point - I wish there was an obvious name to put forward, but there isn't. A fit and firing Darren Bent would be obvious, but unfortunately he's neither of those.

Oh, and beating Spurs at home is a matter of major irritation if it doesn't happen.

I don't know about others but if we don't beat Everton at home that is a minor irritation. Losing to Newcastle and Spuds annoys me much much more.

I dunno whether it is because Everton have had fine teams in my time and are not overly media friendly, unlike the fawning over their neighbours, whereas Spuds and Newcastle have a load of mythical bollocks associated with them.

The way Gabby and Ron played at QPR, it wouldn't make a jot of difference if they were actually dropped. Can't see anything other than a point at the very best tomorrow.

A paper bag floating around the pitch would be as useful as Gabby is most games.

Indeed. He's a poster boy for our recent acceptance of the utterly mediocre.

A point would be acceptable to me tbh, and Spuds are shite. Who you having playing centre half if Ron is dropped though, it is a bs story as we all know

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm assuming it would be Okore and Clark if Ron was dropped.
