Spurs vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[kippaxvilla2]

You can bet your life seeing as it is in front of the baying national television watching audience (not even by protected by the relatively obscure BT Sport) that we will be royally taken from behind and humped over and over mercilessly.

And that average journeyman savage will sit there loving it

Is this now acting as the Pre-Match thread or do we need a new one?

A little from column A, a little from column B.

If anybody cares about a poll then feel free to add it, my phone doesn't seem to give me the option.

Decentish odds on more than 4.5 goals considering it feels very likely.

Hope they rest players. Would like to see us play RHM, Tish, Green

2-1 Villa

They're now third in the PL, on form, and this week stopped Chelsea's record winning run attempt while keeping a clean sheet in the process; we're struggling for form, are missing our main man to the ACON, and lost to Cardiff this week; it's on national terrestrial TV, not hidden in some dark corner of BT Sport; Mike Dean's the referee; what could possibly go wrong?

If we line up with Johnstone, Bunn, Gollini (Dean won't notice 3 keepers as he's  too busy skipping around and pleasuring himself celebrating any Spurs pass), Hutton, Elphick, Chester, Baker, Richards, Cissokho, Amavi and, of course, Westwood, we may escape a severe thrashing.

Seriously though, I think the gulf between us and them that's opened up over the last few seasons will be brought into sharp focus come Sunday tea-time. At least we'll be able to concentrate on the league.

Sorry to say but we are in for a right pasting !

You are Alex McLeish back at White Hart Lane.

A Spurs friend of mine has just been telling me they'll be playing a weaker side with a strong bench.

On that basis I'll go for a 2-0 defeat!

[Rigadon]

In footballing terms, if theres one thing that will make me queasy it's talk of Aston Villa being a plucky underdog against fucking Spurs.  If we win it will be shit (reported as 'giant killing') and if we lose it will be shit (always shit to lose against these wankers).  So, a nice draw.

[Bad English]

0-4 mullering.

[HK Villan]

Why the hell is it on TV?  Jesus.  Give us a break.

[cdbearsfan]

Awful draw, awful result. Just keep it respectable, please.

[Chipsticks]

I'm expecting us to lose but I'll be watching with the hope that I might be able to see some of our younger (RHM) and forgotten (Tish) players get some game time.

I think we'll be suprisingly competitive but lose 1-0.
