Aston Villa vs Tottenham Post-Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

at least we scored - fuck ronaldo and his 21 goals

[Ian.]

Absolutely pissed off. I was convinced Benteke would get a couple and then go on from there for the season. Bloody stupid fool.
Now we're again without him and we have Goldie blaming the result on Gabby coming on. Marvellous.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'll say one thing, if the players keep being that fucking stupid, i'm especially looking at you Benteke and Sanchez, then we will go down.

[OCD]

What a bunch of dirty bastards Spurs are. Mason stuck his head into Benteke and nothing was done about it. They put in 2 dangerous tackles and they get yellow carded. If the game stays 11-11 we win that.

Watch Gabby in there equaliser by the way. Weimann to a lesser degree too. Disgusting.

It was a red card - he raised his hands.

We are in a fkn awful run at the moment and everything seems to be going against us (shinned goals, deflections and the fact they could easily have had players sent off).

Spurs are bobbins though and have no chance of getting top 4.

They put in a lot of effort but in EVERY game we play like we are hanging on for dear life and 9 times out of ten we are. This side will be relegated this season. Too much emphasis on Benteke, only TWO players have scored for us this season. Plan A is contain, counter-attack and maybe score if lucky. There is no Plan B and there hasn't been for any of his reign apart from a positive last 3 months at the end of his first season. Worst Villa boss I have seen since 1988.

I hope you mean 1987

I actually think sanchez is one of our best players by far but he likes to give the opposition the chance to score goals . lets out he stops doing it.

Gabby was dire for their first goal

And why oh why oh why do we bring everyone back for corners.

well yeah but I mean since I started following Villa. Venglos was a worthwhile experiment that didn't work, O'Leary, McCleish.... Lambert tops the list.

He has, but that challenge that late was insanity.

[CorkVilla]

This is a really poor spurs team in a bad place at the moment. A great opportunity wasted. The type of defeat that has bottom three written all over it.

Mainly due to tiredness. Once he's fit enough to last 90+ minutes of Premier League football those mistakes won't happen.

[Toronto Villa]

This is never going to end is it?

On a par with TSM and not as bad as McDuff.

They've just shown the red card incident again and it's amazing that Mason can get away with shoving his head in Benteke's face and not even get a talking to.  If Benteke had gone down like a sack of spuds Mason would have gone instead.  And then Benteke is pushed at least 3 times by a Spurs player, again often deemed to be enough for a red.   Totally inept from the officials.
