Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[postal]

If I had to chose one Club that I just dont like its Spurs. Hope we get a win but I'd settle for a draw

[supertom]

If there's a bet to be had in the Prem this weekend, it's that Grealish is going to score. Whether that's enough for a win I don't know. I think we'll come out confident, in good fettle and make a good game of it, take it too them. If we can avoid silly errors I fancy a score draw. There are players in our team who will be relishing being in the English top flight for the first time. I'd expect us to really test them. If we can be wary of their quality we'll get a result. I'm hoping this will be a good game.

1-1

Nah, we'll see a repeat of this..

Three absolute worldies there from Big Dion, Benni and Little Alan Wright!

Yeah those shirts were shite - they always bring back those horrible memories of Wembley and that smug gurning cockwomble Dennis Wise.

Ah how I've missed Lawro's predictions! 2 0 Spurs he's said although he does think we have the best chance of staying up out of the promoted clubs.

[Sexual Ealing]

I hate that kit.

It's gone, let it go...

It's literally there. I can see it.

Listening to the press conference I won't be surprised if Douglas is thrown straight in. Dean Smith has no room for sentiment.

But I reckon he just might be in:

HEATON, GUILBERT, TARGETT, ENGELS, MINGS, DOUGLAS, MCGINN, GREALISH, AEG, JOTA, WESLEY
SUBS: HOURIHANE, NAKAMBA, TREZEGUET, ELMO, HAUSE, STEER, KODJIA

[St AustellAVFC]

2-0 win .... and The Villa are back. Grealish and Guilbert with the goals.

Spurs are a decent side and I reckon we will struggle but we should be fine over the season. Lose 2-0

Alright mate, calm down. No point getting angry before it has even started.

Thinking of paying AVTV to watch this one.

If anyone is thrown in, it would be Nakamba surely?  He's match fit unlike Douglas, played in the ACN and has been with the squad for a couple of weeks longer.

If it's on Sky doesn't that mean AVTV don't show it? You could get a Now TV subscription for the weekend, I think?

Aren't the 5.30 games on BT usually?

2-0 win .... and The Villa are back. Grealish and Guilbert with the goals.

Wouldn’t that be brilliant!

They have swapped. Saturday lunchtimes on BT, evening games on Sky.
