[richard moore]

i once met sorenson, laursen and mellberg getting the tube into central london after a game at spurs.

going out on the town, dressed like a jacamo advert.

Good looking bunch of guys!

The Middlesbrough side regularly travel by train for their London away games, we used to see them after the games at Darlington station before they would board a coach back to Middlesbrough.

4-0 defeat

[Walmley_Villa]

Stop the rot..... 1-1

[PaulTheVillan]

Kane 10/1 Hat trick.
11/1 a Villa player to score first.

[PaulTheVillan]

I think Spurs will win 4-0.

A goal in the first 5 minutes, 3-0 by HT and then a late one.

[Villa in Denmark]

I'd never thought about it before but it's probably a lot quicker to travel to Euston by train and have a coach waiting than to be stuck on the M1 for an eternity.

Is Sherwood the coach driver, at least he can put his knowledge to some use now.

He'd probably put one of the front wheels where the steering wheel should be, re-wire everything so the brake and accelerator pedals were reversed and then run out of fuel half way towards his destination because he'd looked at the map upside down.

If we win ill dangle my nuts from the upper holte

I am not sure how First Class rail travel to London can be classed as "cheap".

£10 top up over standard at weekend - bargain

[stomper]

Loads of clubs travel by train but I think they normally have a private carriage rather than travelling in first class.

[KevinGage]

A good start, hit them early with a two goal blast, and we might be able to force a draw.

[Clark W Griswold]

Last time we went to Tottenham in November without a manager....1994 and we won 4-3 with goals from Atkinson, Fenton (2) and Saunders. I was there, and it was a great away day. I'm going to predict the same score line tonight, Gestede, Grealish (2) and Sinclair.

[Toronto Villa]

I'm really hoping Gestede doesn't start tonight because it completely dictates how we play. I'd sooner we go with a far more technical approach and pass and think our way to victory.

[VillaAlways]

Apparently we have won only one game out of the last 14 played on a Monday night

It's not looking good
