6 wins in a row at home - madness.

Didn't see the game but great result and enjoy the weekend all. Even Bailey got an assist!

You'll pleased to know that sitting McGinn centrally was another stroke of genius from our manager. He totally shackled Kane when he dropped deep to create and dominated the other two midfield chumps, Skipp and Hojbjerg, with Luiz.

Excellent and dominating performance. The scoreline flattered Spurs, who are dreadful. Never a penalty, good to see Kane booked too the moaning gobshite. It would be a real shame to finish above a side as woeful as them.

The back four bossed Spurs with our ability to push up and drop quickly. Spurs offside time after time, it was pathetic.

We ought to have had it won in the first half really, but still very pleasing to be in with a shout still.

Great first half performance. Second half we largely managed the game well apart from Dougie almost gifting them a goal. McGinn was phenomenal today.

Ref was trying to help them at all opportunities. Kane looked offside in the run up to the penalty. That goal may come back to haunt us in terms of goal difference.

Totally bossed it and should've been 3 up before Kane did a Kane.

Having said that, from where I was in the North it looked nailed on. Haven't seen a replay yet.

I thought the noise levels were amazing today.

I’m still trying to get my head around how Spurs were allowed to take a free kick for offside in our half.

Exactly what I thought. But the officials today were pathetic. We attached, flag goes up. They attack, play on then offside, usually when we’re back in possession and counter attacking.

Spurs fans were the quietest I've heard this season. Our fans seem much calmer with us playing possession football now, rather than screaming "fucking get rid of it" every time it gets a bit close.

Just a stunt to make sure people renew their season tickets. Normal service to resume next season.

I’m still trying to get my head around how Spurs were allowed to take a free kick for offside in our half.

Yet when we tried to take a quick free-kick, he would stop it for a moving ball.

Pat Murphy's (yes, him!) 5 Live report was effusive in saying how noisy the place was and how obvious the bond between team and fans is.

Just got back, my lad absolutely loved his first match...even down to booing Kane for his antics.
How didn't bury them I don't know. McGinn MotM. Duran didn't quite do it today when he came on.
Played well but need to put away these chances.

Aston Villa have won six consecutive home league matches for the first time since February 1993.

Jacob Ramsey has scored 11 goals in the Premier League for Aston Villa, the fourth-most of any player for the club in the competition before turning 22, after Gabriel Agbonlahor (25), Darius Vassell (16) and Luke Moore (14).

And they were all strikers. Very impressive JJ.

Yeah, I heard. He said it reminded him of the VP noise of the early 80s. Good to hear him be positive about us.

[Bad English]

On my stream it sounded Arsenal-like until we got the second.
