Tottingham vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[silhillvilla]

Think that was probably the worst refereeing display we've had this season, I hope we get a decent and fair Ref next Sunday.

[peter w]

I thought he was okay. The red was a red. All ref's miss free-kicks is part of the game. Grealish should have had one first half, Cole 2nd. i'm sure Tottenham will have a list of free-kicks they should have had, too. I thought he let the game flow as much as he could. No issues with the ref. But there again, we won.

HD is not very kind to Tim or are those wrinkles have appeared since he has been in charge of us?

[silhillvilla]

It's a shame Gabby's effort didn't go in, that would have been some goal.

[olaftab]

They are being very fair at the Glory Lory as usual the deluded fuckers!

I think he's wrong there, or he's just being gracious in defeat. (On Porchetino saying CB is world clas)

Benteke is just this seasons Michael ricketts, if he's so good how come he only got one against our car crash of a defence"

Benteke is a good footballer. I think he should be playing at a higher level than Villa. I think he's about Swanseas level. In fact, they probably should have went him for him to replace Bony."

i swear that White Hart Lane gets further away from the Tube on each visit.

I asked a copper at Seven Sisters how far away the ground was. He said a 15 minute walk. This proved to be a fib.

two things you need to know about Metropolitan Police officers:

1. they don't live in London
2. they never walk anywhere

'He should be playing at a higher level than Villa' says the supporter of a club who last won the League in 1961.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Spurs fans. Sigh. I don't like em, but at least they don't whine as much Arsenal fans when they lose.

Cute little club though, you have to respect them punching above their weight the past few years. Bit like a Blackburn Rovers, but without the silverware.

It's funny the Michael Ricketts thing is such a worn out cliche. Any striker who does well is now the 'new Michael Ricketts'.

[Jimbo]

It seems unfortunate to sully a great result with mention of Ellis, but all this 'fair play at his age' crap really gets up my pip. Have we learned nothing about the man over the last 30-plus years? It's not some great sacrifice he's making, going to away games. It's all about ego. He travels to games in a Rolls Royce, gets feted by whichever club it is, sits in the directors' box, enjoys corporate hospitality, gets his smug face on the telly, keeps himself in the public eye (where he's most comfortable) and has people fawn over him with a load of 'fair play at his age' bollocks.

If he didn't keep it up he'd probably shuffle off his mortal coil, and although a dead Doug will get plenty of media spotlight, the great tragedy for Ellis is that he won't be around to bask in it.

Although they presumably exempt Harry 'effing' Kane from that.

[peter w]

Yeah, well, he's a very old man now and most people's gripes(including mine) are simply that he didn't run the football club very well. I get the Barton family issue for Dave Woodhall but to most people it is simply that he didn't run us as we'd want. I can't be bothered getting worked up about him in anyway anymore.

Bit harsh. I'm not a fan of Ellis but if I think of what could've happened to Villa when he was in charge compared to other clubs I think we did ok.

What, like Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea?
