Aston Villa vs Tottenham Match Thread

What's really noticeable today is how well organised we are in the transition after we lose possession. Everyone gets into the nearest position to makie it a 442 and then as play develops we filter players back to the right place, it shows we're training for it.

The flagging for offsides is annoying the shit out of me, we're playing the offside trap brilliantly but every time there's a nagging worry we've fucked it up until the replay shows he was 2-3 yards off.

On the plus side, all that extra time taking to stop play is probably better for us, the longer that there's only a goal in it.

Banford missed a penalty for Leeds.... there is a god. LOL.

[Smirker]

Been a near flawless half for us.

[Joe S]

We dominated so much we could have had Olsen in goal and we wouldn't have worried.

I'd have worried...

"We need a strong Chelsea for the Premier League, don't we?" says Jason Mohammad to Martin Keown on Final Score. Hahahaha.

OK Unai you have done well so far now don’t fuck it up in the second half against these detestable kunts.

It's amusing to watch a spurs side trying to get something out of the law change a while back wherein you can't be offside from a goal kick.

[JUAN PABLO]

Played well, easily the best team . Should be at least two up , thought Bailey should have scored and Peter Withe would have scored the Watkins close chance.

Mcginn has had a great game.

[Risso]

As good a half as you’re likely to see, but I think we needed that second goal our play deserved.

Both owners here today, both look very happy.

Spurs will be where Chelsea are this time next season if they give Mason the job full time.

That was so easy for us, only issue is it's only 1-0 and their forwards don't need endless domination to score. If they move Kane back to CF rather than this bizarre midfield 8 role he has and bring on Kuluveski then that's a much bigger test for us out of possession.

All they've got currently is diagonals and we're catching them offside with ease.

Would help if this ref actually got round to booking Romero aswell. Wiped out Ollie in the build up to the goal and then did another bookable offence foul two minutes later. McGinn does the same and then gets booked.

Imagine this Spurs side without Kane, they'd be comfortably bottom half.

I see Darren Woolley got a pic with Wes! He's amazing Daz!

I thought I was watching a slow river....three hours later.....!

We have become very “Professional “, UTFV

[coreyfeldman]

We've absolutely bossed it in midfield because we're out numbering them, but also mcginn has been an absolute monster so far
