Aston Villa vs Tottenham pre match thread

[Bobby Boy]

So the flat spot arrived, probably later than expected, but expected all the same. Next question is when will it end? The narrow aspect of the last two results indicates that what Emery has worked on is still very much there but individual drops in level can't be absorbed when you have a squad as thin as ours.
Players are returning, the target is still in our sights and the manager won't lose focus. But Son will score.

2-1

Kane's bound to score, so if Son will score then we're going to have to score at least 3 to win.

Thankfully, Spurs can't defend so 3-2 Villa!

I'm not so sure that Spurs have looked rubbish, they've had bad halves (or is it half's?) but looked really good in others. Now Watkins goals have dried up I'm struggling to see where our goals will come from, and think we'd need at least 2 to win.

I'll say draw which would normally be a good point, but not enough to sneak into Europe. We'll play well and get done on the counter. Son will almost certainly score.

It's halves.

Whole, it's whole as in wholes
Andy War hol, Andy War-hol

What about centre halves?

[remy]

Really want us to win this but the outstanding way we’ve played as shit as we have last 2 games can’t see it. 2-0 spuds with Kane scoring both.

[Legion]

0-2

[Meanwood Villa]

0-2

Not sure this is still working!

[Smithy]

Spurs won't sit back and park the bus like Wolves did, so whatever happens, I can see us creating a few chances.  I'm glad Emery is referring to it like our cup final - because if we lose this, and the season is 99% over.

I expect to see the players REALLY up for this one, and to sneak a win, 2-1.

Is this on next Saturday at 3pm? Smirker should have stated it in his opening post, it's a mixed performance from the winger.

Yes mate sorry. I will edit it now.

Only joshing with you, all good.

3-2/4-3/5-4/6-5

Fucking goal fest with Kane doing his best to single handedly continue to save their season but ultimately failing (including diving and getting a pen).

[CT Villan]

I think we'll win, but if we don't I can't see us getting any more points for the remainder of the season.

[sid1964]

We will win 4-1 - very confident about winning this game

I note from the poll so far that our confidence is draining away. It is possible that having lost the last two we could end the season with 5 straight losses😟

Those votes must have been cast before Brighton got pumped. It's back on now.
