Aston Villa vs Tottenham Post-Match Thread

[Ron Manager]

We lost against the worst Spurs side in living memory because three players Benteke,Agbonlahor and Sanchez were totally unprofessional.

Simple as that.

Even with 10 men we had the game in the bag.

[pauliewalnuts]

I don't get Sanchez.

That is another game where he has looked really pretty good with the exception of one gigantic fuck up which undoes it all.

[JUAN PABLO]

must admit


one shot on target at home to a shit spuds team is still pretty shit

[aj2k77]

He's just been on sky and said we were excellent.

Does anyone still pay attention to what he says? His interviews are so inaccurate I find them worrying, he sums up the hierarchy at the club. Heads in sand.

[Risso]

The thing is, we've played better in the last two games, but still lost both matches to two teams who aren't playing at all well.  When's the rot going to stop?

[Dave]

of course what Benteke should have done is be a girl, feign a head butt and go down like a sack of 'spuds' and get that fucker sent off..... instead of being a man and slap the obnoxious twat.  Well thats todays football and everything I utterly dislike about it.....

Totally spot on. Cheats prosper.

Are those the only two options he has? Feign injury or slap him?

Can't he just take a step back, laugh in the bloke's face and let the referee deal with it?

[Rudy65]

I'm too aggravated by the bullshit bottle out referee to give any thought to our failings.  The yellow card for Vertonghen seemed to give Spurs the signal that they could get away with murder and they did. God I hate them.

I agree, bottling that decision led to everything that happened in the next 10-15minutes which saw Benteke off, Weimann booked and Chadli booked for what could easily have been another red card challenge.

Not sending Mason off for pushing his head into Benteke's face is that one that's got me, how can a push to the face  of someone who's shoving their head into your face lead to 1 player red carded and nothing the other way, fucking abysmal decision.  On top of that Soldado ran 30 yards and pushed Benteke in the chest 3 times and nothing was said about that either.

Final point how the fuck does one free kick that's going tamely into the keepers arms before a big deflection lead to you being given man of the match, what the fuck was that all about?

The fourth official said red into his mic as soon as benteke pushed him. Maybe if the ref had consulted with the 4th official to see whether he was provoked it would have seen mason go as well

Some eejit Villa fan tells "Wrighty" on 5Live that Lambert is doing a great job given the circumstances...this free pass knows no limits it seems.

That is exactly my worry.

QPR and Spurs are fucking awful. In both those matches, we played well for spells, but we come away without any points. I can't see it stopping any time soon.

I can see us getting something out of Leicester at home. So December 7th.

[Percy McCarthy]

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.

He has, but that challenge that late was insanity.

When he signed somebody posted that he hadn't made a mistake that led to a conceded goal for about four years. He's certainly making up for it now. Otherwise, good player.

It's nowhere near the worst Spurs side in living memory. Unless that person is about 12 years old.

I'd agree with the rest though.

[JUAN PABLO]

I agree with that

 I heard that too and was visibly foaming at the mouth with frustration.

Thats the problem the media thinks PL is doing ok. Nothing could be further from the truth

Absolutely - Fully agree!
