Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

The number of chances we conceded is unreal.

It's terrible. When you look at sides like Sheff Utd, or even dare I say it Newcastle, the first thing they try and do is stay tight. You simply have to have that discipline at this level. 1-0 wins are absolutely fine. We are so defensively naive.

4 mins added time

Targett was poor there

[BoVillan esq]

Make sure we get the point

[PeterWithesShin]

We've had 18 shots, Spurs have had 20, which is some going.

[Fred Crump]

I did jinx Targett . That was terrible

[PeterWithesShin]

Reina again.

In fairness this is what the fans wanted when Bruce was out the door. More excitement, more attacking intent, a more dynamic formation. We're not Liverpool or City so we can't have both at the moment, if we play this way we will concede goals.

[PeterWithesShin]

Nakamba booked.

[JUAN PABLO]

Atkinson you are a ******

[Fred Crump]

Sh*t. You just know what’s going to happen here....

[AsTallAsLions]

Atkinson you are a c***

Correct, he's a wanker.

[itbrvilla]

Why take Samatta off???

Yep, got nothing up top since he went off.

That doesn't mean we should have the worst defence in the league.

[Axl Rose]

Engels is back to his early season form, today.

Again, that's a clear yellow card for Marvelous. But what about their....oh fuck it, what's the point.
