I don't get it.

I actually thought it was a foul on Grealish for their 2nd. They fully deserved their win so not sour grapes really.

Wes will be fine I think, we won't be playing Spurs every week, just could do with an early goal in his career. I see similarities with Benteke. His early goal set him off, Wes needs the same.

Me too, surprised they didn't see that on VAR.

I was shouting at the TV, you know it would have been given at the other end.

Worth bearing in mind that their manager is, for me, pound for pound the best manager in Europe too.

They have an abundance of quality. It's not about autograph hunting, but sometimes you have to concede the other person or team...is just better. But learn why.

I was impressed by how physically strong they were, I also thought Al Ghazi and Wesley went down too easily.

Hopefully Dean will work out his best 11, we have some winnable matches next up. Getting in 12 players may take some of those matches to get it right. Wesley needs to improve though.

Yeah, me neither 🤷‍♂️

As we approached the ground a patronising Spurs fan said 'welcome to the best ground in the world'. I suspect it may be much better in corporate areas or the home areas but for a supposedly state of the art stadium it was a massive let down.

You can take the Spurs fan out of White Hart Lane but to a man they're all still wankers. Yet to meet a decent one. Arsenal, West Ham, even bloody Chelsea fans but Spurs? I'm still waiting.

An old boss of mine is a Spurs fan and he's a diamond bloke.  He'd lend me his season ticket if he couldn't make a game.  Saw Villa a couple of times there thanks to him.

Me too, that was disappointing, in that not only were they trying to cheat, they were also surrendering possession of the ball far too easily, when the ball was there to be had.

I got talking to a couple of decent Spurs fans before hand, but we seemed to be surrounded by absolute wankers in the ground.

[ROBBO]

Wes needs to harden up and I expected better ball control from a Brazilian. I watched some other games and the gap between the top four or five and the rest is immense, so no panic stations please. It was good the owners were there, they will have seen that to challenge the dominant clubs will take more time and more money.

Well with the laughing emojis and the football at the end I took it at a pop at the Villa as it was posted shortly after the game

But maybe I was reading too much into it

She didn't like the way we released her Husband and so is happy any time we lose this season is my take on it.

[eamonn]

That's exactly what it seems to be. Her husband is moving to Hearts, she's probably worried that they will struggle to keep her in the style we made her accustomed to.
 
In Dublin parlance, "Scarlet fer ya, Karen".

[eamonn]

El Ghazi has a lot to learn, especially when we don't have the ball. Taylor got very little help from him. Actually even when we do have the ball he was often cheap with possession. I think that "dive" that was given against him in the first half rattled him a bit, he thought he'd done the hard work with a burst of acceleration to get him past a defender.

[Richard]

Decent for 70 minutes then tired and chased shadows. Spurs were very good second half.

Glad to be back in the Premier League, it's not fair but the media and general public focus almost entirely on the top division. I want us to be back in the spotlight. Thought we didn't let ourselves down too much yesterday.
