Super League Tottenham 1-2 Proper Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[baddowvillans]

And no discussion on MOTD on the non penalty - presumably on the basis we won so why bother or probably "its only Aston Villa, why bother?"

Referee Pawson can clearly be seen telling Oli, though that the ball was going out.  Good to know that just a shame that didn't appear to matter when the ball was going out at VP and Kane moved away from the ball to initiate contact with Cash.  Referees really need to look at some of their decisions this year and make sure there is more consistency next year because at the moment it appears there are double standards being applied to Super League teams

I watched the game again on MOTD this morning, and it makes it look like a close game. Not a chance was it close.

Whatever happened to Jonathan Pearce, I used to think he was an exciting commentator, now he’s just dull beyond belief.

They didn't show or even mention the non penalty either!

Controlling the narrative.
I was waiting for our game to be reduced to a small screen whilst we watched the Liverpool bus on the way to Burnley.

Makes me chuckle especially looking at how Villa have smacked around some of these ESL teams this season. I think it must get up the noses of certain people. Good.

Did anybody else burst out laughing when the self entitled, Super League, not won the title since colour television was invented, Spurs fans booed them off at half time?

Absolutely loved it. As much as their booing in the second half and at full time. It's great to have fans back.

Yes, the thought that they’d waited months to get back to watch their team then booed them after 45 minutes just about summed up the Spurs sense of entitlement. The world class own goal made me laugh even more.

It was back to us looking like the early season version of ourselves. Showing no respect for reputation and causing them to lose confidence and make the sort of errors we were making a month ago.

[The Edge]

oh also fuck off the sky commentator , talking about watkins replacing Kane at spurs , as if

Chris Coleman was awful....he said that Watkins had had to earn his love in the team above Wesley....who was out injured for months when we signed Watkins ....awful...

Coleman made a cock up with his facts there alright, but I actually thought he was good after that. About as and unbiased co commentator I’ve heard on sky all season.

I agree with this. Compared to most co commentators he was pretty complimentary about Villa. Probably because he wasn't fighting any loyalties for either club and just called it as he saw it. I actually found it quite refreshing.

Think McGinn and his high press made a big difference and Jack too. That position he'd take just wide of their midfield 2 and he'd drift in and beyond. They just could not pick him up.

There's the makings of a good side here. We need to improve the squad by improving the first XI. If we continue to improve at the rate we have done this year on last, we're in Europe come the end of next season.

We look our best when we are busy. We're quite tiring to watch as we press and run nonstop.

[dicedlam]

Got an offered a tremendous job 2 hours before kick off, and then sat down and enjoyed that. I fucking love the Villa.

Congratulations LeeB.

The highlights editor must be a Spurs fan. They made it look like an even contest which we won by a fluke goal. I watched it live with my brother in law who "supports" Liverpool after the game he said he couldn't believe how much we bossed Spurs at their own ground and that we even felt comfortable enough to bring on a couple of the youth team. That's exactly how I saw it.

[robbo1874]

Yes congrats LeeB. I also learned yesterday I’m getting a permanent contract after being on a 2 yr temp one.

Regards the match, monumental fk up from me- got my days mixed up and missed it. I was chatting to a woman at work about it on the Wednesday thinking it was actually Tuesday and when said it’s tomorrow morning - I said no it’s the day after. I blame her! Gutted I missed it. Was hoping we might sneak it but sounds like we battered Spurs. Gutted to miss the young lads’ debuts too. Ah well, get something against Chelsea and it will have been a solid season. 11th place finish beating my 13th place prediction.

[Dr Butler]

really enjoyed that last night, sat in the local village pub with a pint...

sometimes we look a really good side

Did you know they put the fans upstairs so as not to piss off the sponsors ? What a two-bob bunch of wankers.

in a 60k stadium, I thought that having the fans in the upper deck made perfect sense.

Kept them away from the players, prevented them touching the ball etc. Far safer

Possible (even probable) that Spurs did the right thing for the wrong reason.

Yes, I thought exactly the same.

We had 20 shots, they had 10, but MOTD must have shown every one of theirs.

The BBC are worse than Sky for bigging up those clubs and pandering to it.

I've complained to the BBC this week about the Richards article and their bias towards those clubs.

You could hear it in Pearce's voice, desperate for Tottenham to do well.

Yeah it's like they've bought into Tottenham being one of their favoured "big six" so no matter what they will go with that narrative. Why I don't know. What have Tottenham actually achieved to be lauded in that way? They have a spanking new stadium which has put them in £600m debt so what? When Everton build their brand new stadium will they be given "big club" privileges? No because they're not considered to be glamorous -whatever that means- just like us.
