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

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Just watched motd. Poor coverage and after match analysis as per usual regarding Villa. The bias towards the sly 6 by the bbc/sky/bt  is nothing new, it just appears to be getting worse.
From the coverage you wouldn't know Villa had twice as many chances as spurs. No mention of the stonewall penalty. Analysis was about Villa players from an England perspective (like I give a sh-t) and not Villa's. It's little wonder I very rarely watch motd or indeed live matches on the tv against any of the media darlings.
Spuds fans booing was the best in-game/post game analysis and is probably the loudest they will ever get in their new stadium (it certainly won't be songs in support of their team).

Recovered well after a dodgy start and after that we were miles the better side. I don't think anyone had a bad game but McGinn was just outstanding. Fair play to them for bouncing back after Sunday.

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!

They did show the Ollie penalty incident.

Thought the coverage was fine. The few chances Spurs had warranted decent saves from Emi and they showed Carney's effort at the end. The post match chat always going to be about Kane and Spurs given he's leaving but then they praised Villa's back four and Mings in particular. Danny Murphy (who never praises us) even said he wouldn't like to be Chelsea going to Villa on Sunday as we have some very good players.

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.

Weren't Everton one of the Big 5 back in the day

I can't remember that. Was it before Sky invented football in 1992?

[LeeB]

Liverpool, Everton, Tottenham, Arsenal and Man Utd, with the latter being there on size only as they were comically inept for most of the decade

[amfy]

I’d gone down to Southampton to see my dad and watched the game at a local social club with a Solent Lions meet up. It was great to be watching the game with fellow fans again even on that small scale and I hope this who are going on Sunday have as good a time.

The price of beer thing was clearly a joke. This is from two years ago and no way pints have more than doubled in price. They are, nevertheless, yuppie prices and among the most expensive.

Great win and performance last night .I am still seething over that Villa hater Kevin Friend and how he continues to give Villa absolutely nothing  and nothing is ever done about it .Apart from the Palace disgrace ,i also recall how he failed to see Fredericks stamp on Jack in the play off final even though it was in front of him No doubt there have been other decisions he has made against us

Some terrible decisions against us vs Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 2013. Didn't give us a penalty for handball and didn't send off Ivanovic - who got the winner if I recall rightly.

[in exile]

Great win. I really enjoyed it.
Good to see McGinn shut me up, he had a great game.
So good to have Martinez in the form he is in, as last line of defence. Fills you with confidence.
Really pleased for the youngsters too. They were last back into the dressing room and given a standing ovation from the rest of the squad and staff.

Roll on Sunday.

[baddowvillans]

I've just watched the penalty they got in the first game and there is little difference other than Kane overtly had to change direction away from the ball to initiate contact whilst Oli never deviates away from the line of the ball.  One of these decisions was wrong and we need to know which for the future, but either way we are the losers on both occasions.

[Villa Lew]

Talking about lifting your spirits, was feeling really down after Sunday's performance, just didn't see that performance coming, absolutely superb Villa. Could easily have been more, clear penalty disallowed, thanks Kev, El Ghazi missing a sitter, Chuk hitting the post, that's just 3 occasions, there were many more. Kane and Son, 2 of the best strikers in the league hardly got a look in.

A great team performance, special credit to Martinez. Mings and Nakamba, but MOTM for me was SJM, absolutely superb display, controlled the midfield, Spurs simply couldn't stop him, it was McGinn at his best. Obviously Jack's absence is the main factor our form has dipped in the last few months, but not seeing more performances like this from SJM is certainly another factor.

Another performance like this on Sunday and we can beat Chelsea.

[Damo70]

Delighted with the performance and result. If I have one thing to nitpick about it is the amount of times Ollie overplays and takes a touch too many when he has got himself into the box. Traore is the same.

[Duncan Shaw]

Watched in the pub with my missus, lad, our friend who is a Spurs fan and his lad who is Liverpool and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.  We really should have had 5, even the Spurs fan was complimentary about us!
