Spurs v Aston Villa match thread.

Gabby is almost bullet time slow and Free Willy fat.

Mullery talking about Spurs like they were fucking Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Never liked him. Typical cockney twat

[Ian.]

I guess Tish can't be arsed in training and Westwood works hard and says the right things. How many managers now have made Westwood a permanent name on the team sheet?

Grounds like a warehouse

Your new ground looks like a warehouse

Like a big homebase

Completely full of tools

Went through us a bit easily there.

[clash city rocker]

Come on villa...keep your heads and we can get a result here.

Every time i hear the name Cissokho i break out in a cold sweat.

"Blimey was that game claimed behind closed doors" followed by no mention of the utterly shit KO time and fans being treated like twats. Surprising that.

Was like that at the Sty for a 3 o'clock KO

Dreadful game. I think we've done okay. Grealish has to do better on the ball though. If he's got genuine aspirations for being the level of player who's getting into Spurs lineup, then he's got to have more impact on the game.

I'd give him another ten minutes then look to replace him. He's fine on free kicks but not much more.

From our point of view I wouldn't call it a "dreadful game". We look far more organised than we have in ages. Keeper, defence and now the midfield look fine. We just need somebody to support Gabby up front. He's having a decent game but can't do it alone.

In his defence he's tracking back and collecting the ball deep only to look up and see 6 Tottenham players and Gabby.  I'm not sure what he can do from there.

[Marton]

This lineup wouldn't concede many times against any championship team. With Kodjia up front it would win most.

But then again...Westwood is on a bench and Bruce is likely to use his subs...not going to improve this. Maybe RMC for Gabby would be reasonably safe considering the options...

[villa_cads]

At least 6 Spurs defenders there, so negative...

[PeterWithesShin]

Chester got away with that!

[CJ]

Now Spurs have started that dreadful dirge song of theirs

[Toronto Villa]

Grealish is the embodiment of all fart no shit. When he finally does something it's worth it but it just takes so long for it to happen.

Fantastic from uncle.
